Saame 33
1 Fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise [is] comely.
2 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
3 Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting.
4 He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is] in faithfulness.
5 ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of Jehovah is the earth full.
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 Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
7 ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in treasuries the depths.
8 Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid.
9 He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it standeth.
10 ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts 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 counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, 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.
O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him.
13 ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the sons of men.
14 Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all inhabitants of the earth;
15 ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all 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.
The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18 Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19 Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21 Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22 ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
