Saame 33
1 Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becommeth vpright men to be thankefull.
2 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
Prayse the Lord with harpe: sing vnto him with viole and instrument of ten strings.
3 Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
Sing vnto him a newe song: sing cheerefully with a loude voyce.
4 He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
For the word of the Lord is righteous, and all his workes are faithfull.
5 ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
He loueth righteousnesse and iudgement: the earth is full of the goodnesse of the Lord.
6 Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
By the worde of the Lord were the heauens made, and all the hoste of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as vpon an heape, and layeth vp the depths in his treasures.
8 Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
Let all the earth feare the Lord: let al them that dwell in the world, feare him.
9 He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood.
10 ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
The Lord breaketh the counsell of the heathen, and bringeth to nought the deuices of the people.
11 Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
The counsell of the Lord shall stand for euer, and the thoughts of his heart throughout all ages.
12 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
Blessed is that nation, whose God is the Lord: euen the people that he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.
14 Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.
15 ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
He facioneth their hearts euery one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.
16 ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
The King is not saued by the multitude of an hoste, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.
17 Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
A horse is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliuer any by his great strength.
18 Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,
19 Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
To deliuer their soules from death, and to preserue them in famine.
20 ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
Our soule waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helpe and our shielde.
21 Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we trusted in his holy Name.
22 ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
Let thy mercie, O Lord, be vpon vs, as we trust in thee.
