< Saame 36 >
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova. ʻOku lea ʻae talangataʻa ʻae angakovi ki hoku loto, “ʻoku ʻikai ha manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻao.”
Kulenkulumo yesiphambeko kokhohlakeleyo; ngaphakathi kwenhliziyo yami ngathi: Kakukho ukwesaba uNkulunkulu phambi kwamehlo akhe.
2 He ʻoku ne fakaholoholoʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi hono ʻao, ke ʻoua ke hoko ʻo hā mai ʻae kovi ʻo ʻene hia.
Ngoba uyazikhohlisa emehlweni akhe, ububi bakhe buze butholakale buzondeka.
3 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu ko e kovi mo e kākā: kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻene poto mo e fai lelei.
Amazwi omlomo wakhe ayibubi lenkohliso; uyekele inhlakanipho ukwenza okuhle.
4 ʻOku ne fifili ki he pauʻu ʻi hono mohenga; ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ia ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei; ʻoku ʻikai te ne fehiʻa ki he kovi.
Uceba okubi embhedeni wakhe, azimise endleleni engalunganga, kakwali okubi.
5 Ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi; pea ʻoku aʻu hake hoʻo angatonu ki he ngaahi ʻao.
Nkosi, umusa wakho usemazulwini, uthembeko lwakho luze lufike emayezini.
6 Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua; ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ko e fuʻu moana; ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻae tangata mo e manu.
Ukulunga kwakho kunjengezintaba zikaNkulunkulu, izahlulelo zakho ziyinziki enkulu; uyalondoloza umuntu lenyamazana, Nkosi.
7 ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga fau ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa! Ko ia ʻoku falala ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau.
Luligugu kangakanani uthandolomusa wakho, Nkulunkulu! Ngakho abantwana babantu baphephela emthunzini wempiko zakho.
8 Te nau fonu lahi ʻi he mahu lelei ʻo ho fale; pea te ke fakainu ʻakinautolu ʻi he vaitafe ʻo hoʻo fiemālie.
Bazasutha kakhulu ngamanono endlu yakho, ubanathise okomfula wentokozo yakho.
9 He ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae matavai ʻoe moʻui: temau mamata ʻi hoʻo maama ki he maama.
Ngoba ukuwe umthombo wempilo; ekukhanyeni kwakho sizabona ukukhanya.
10 Ke tuʻumaʻu pe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo koe; mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he angatonu ʻi loto.
Luqhubele phambili uthandolomusa wakho kulabo abakwaziyo, lokulunga kwakho kubo abaqotho enhliziyweni.
11 ʻOua naʻa hoko kiate au ʻae vaʻe ʻoe laukau, pea ʻoua naʻa hiki au ʻe he nima ʻoe angakovi.
Unyawo lwabazigqajayo lungezi kimi, lesandla sababi singangixotshi.
12 Kuo hinga ʻi ai ʻae kau fai kovi: kuo lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tuʻu hake.
Nampo abenzi bobubi sebewile, bawiselwe phansi, kabalakuvuka.
