Saame 33
1 Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous. Praise is fitting for the upright.
2 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings.
3 Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
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 right. All his work is done in faithfulness.
5 ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness 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 word of the LORD the heavens were made; and all their host 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 gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.
8 Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
Let all the earth fear the LORD. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
11 Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
The counsel of the LORD stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
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 the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
The LORD looks from heaven. He sees all the descendants of Adam.
14 Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16 ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered 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 vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
Look, the LORD's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
19 Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine.
20 ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
Our soul waits for the LORD. He is our help and our shield.
21 Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
Let your loving kindness be on us, LORD, since we have hoped in you.
