Saame 38
1 Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ko e fakamanatu. ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke valokiʻi au ʻi ho houhau: pea ʻoua naʻa ke valokiʻi au ʻi ho houhau vela.
Nkosi, ungangikhuzi entukuthelweni yakho, ungangijezisi ekuvutheni kolaka lwakho.
2 He ʻoku tau maʻu ʻiate au hoʻo ngaahi ngahau, pea ʻoku taʻomia fakamamahi au ʻe ho nima.
Ngoba imitshoko yakho ihlabe yatshona kimi, lesandla sakho sehle nzima phezu kwami.
3 ʻOku ʻikai ha haohaoa ʻi hoku kakano ko e meʻa ʻi ho houhau; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fiemālie ʻi hoku hui ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku angahala.
Kakukho ukuphila enyameni yami ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho; kakukho ukuthula emathanjeni ami ngenxa yesono sami.
4 He kuo hake ʻa ʻeku ngaahi hia ʻo ʻufiʻufi hoku ʻulu: ʻo hangē ko e kavenga mamafa ʻoku taʻomia ai au.
Ngoba iziphambeko zami zedlule phezu kwekhanda lami, njengomthwalo onzima zinzima kakhulu kimi.
5 ʻOku ʻeho hoku ngaahi lavea ʻo fakalielia koeʻuhi ko ʻeku vale.
Izilonda zami zilevumba zilobomvu ngenxa yobuthutha bami.
6 ʻOku ou mamahi; ʻoku ou mapelu ki lalo ʻaupito; ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
Ngigungubele, ngagotshiselwa phansi kakhulu, usuku lonke ngihamba ngikwezimnyama.
7 He ʻoku fonu hoku sino ʻi he mahaki kovi: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻui haohaoa ʻi hoku kakano.
Ngoba ukhalo lwami lugcwele okutshileyo, njalo kakukho ukuphila enyameni yami.
8 ʻOku ou vaivai mo mafesi ʻi he mamahi: naʻaku kalanga ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi ʻo hoku loto.
Ngibuthakathaka ngichobozekile kakhulukazi, ngiyabhonga ngenxa yokububula kwenhliziyo yami.
9 ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻeku holi kotoa pē; mo ʻeku ngaahi toʻe ʻoku ʻikai fufū ʻiate koe.
Nkosi, sonke isiloyiso sami siphambi kwakho, lokububula kwami kakufihlakalanga kuwe.
10 ʻOku tatupe hoku mafu, kuo ʻosi ʻeku mālohi: pea ko e maama ʻo hoku mata kuo mole foki ia ʻiate au.
Inhliziyo yami iyatshaya, amandla ami angitshiyile; lokukhanya kwamehlo ami lakho kakukho kimi.
11 Ko hoku kaumeʻa ʻofa mo hoku ngaahi kāinga ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he mamaʻo mei hoku teʻia; mo hoku kaungāʻapi ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he mamaʻo.
Abangithandayo labangane bami bema ummango lenhlupheko yami, labakwethu bema khatshana lami.
12 Ko kinautolu foki ʻoku kumi ki heʻeku moʻui ʻoku nau tō ʻae ngaahi tauhele kiate au: ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi, mo nau fakakaukau ki he meʻa kākā ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
Labo abadinga impilo yami bayangithiya, labo abadinga ukoniwa kwami bakhuluma izincithakalo, bezindla inkohliso usuku lonke.
13 Ka ko au, hangē ko ha tuli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ongoʻi; pea naʻaku hangē ko e tangata ʻoku noa ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai mafaʻa hono ngutu.
Kodwa mina nginjengesacuthe, kangizwa, lanjengesimungulu, esingavuli umlomo waso.
14 Pea naʻaku hangē ko e tangata taʻeongoʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha valoki ʻi hono ngutu.
Yebo, nginjengomuntu ongezwayo, okungekho ukuphikisa emlonyeni wakhe.
15 He ʻoku ou ʻamanaki lelei, ʻE Sihova, kiate koe: te ke ongoʻi, ʻE ʻEiki ko hoku ʻOtua.
Ngoba kuwe, Nkosi, ngiyathemba; wena uzaphendula, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami.
16 He naʻaku pehē, “Fanongo kiate au, telia naʻa nau fiefia kiate au: ʻi he hekea ʻa hoku vaʻe, ʻoku nau hiki hake ʻakinautolu kiate au.”
Ngoba ngathi: Hlezi bathokoze ngami, lapho unyawo lwami lutshelela, bazikhukhumeze bemelene lami.
17 He ʻoku ou meimei nofo, pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu pe ʻeku mamahi ʻi hoku ʻao.
Ngoba sengiseduze lokuwa, lobuhlungu bami buphambi kwami njalonjalo.
18 He te u fakahā ʻeku hia; pea u mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻeku angahala.
Ngoba ngizakwazisa ububi bami, ngizakhathazeka ngesono sami.
19 Ka ʻoku moʻui hoku ngaahi fili, pea ʻoku nau mālohi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo tokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa taʻetotonu kiate au.
Kodwa izitha zami ziphilile zilamandla, labangizonda ngeze sebandile.
20 Pea ko hoku ngaahi fili foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku totongi kovi ki he lelei; koeʻuhi ʻoku ou muimui ki he lelei.
Abaphindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle bayizitha zami, ngoba nginxwanela okulungileyo.
21 ʻOua naʻa ke liʻaki au, ʻE Sihova: ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au.
Ungangitshiyi, Nkosi; Nkulunkulu wami, ungabi khatshana lami.
22 Ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke tokoni au, ʻE ʻEiki ko hoku fakamoʻui.
Phangisa ungisize, Nkosi, nsindiso yami.
