Saame 33
1 Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous; praise is appropriate for the upright.
2 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
Give thanks to Yahweh with the harp; 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 and sing with joy.
4 He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
For Yahweh's word is upright, and everything he does is fair.
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 Yahweh's covenant faithfulness.
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 Yahweh the heavens were made, and all the stars were made 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 like a heap; he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8 Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
Let the whole earth fear Yahweh; 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 in place.
10 ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
Yahweh frustrates the alliances of nations; he overrules the plans of the peoples.
11 Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
The plans of Yahweh stand forever, the plans of his heart for 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 Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen as his own inheritance.
13 ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
Yahweh looks from heaven; he sees all the people.
14 Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
From the place where he lives, he looks down on all who live on the earth.
15 ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
He who shapes the hearts of them all observes all their deeds.
16 ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
No king is saved by a vast army; a warrior is not saved by his 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 false hope for victory; in spite of his great strength, he cannot rescue.
18 Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
See, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his covenant faithfulness
19 Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
to deliver their lives from death and to keep them alive in times of famine.
20 ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
We wait for Yahweh; he is our help and our shield.
21 Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
Our hearts rejoice in him, for we trust in his holy name.
22 ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
Let your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, be with us as we put our hope in you.
