Saame 43

1 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamaau au, ʻo langomakiʻi au telia ʻae puleʻanga angakovi: ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata kākā mo taʻeangatonu.

Vindicate me O God - and conduct! case my from a nation not faithful from a man of deceit and injustice you will deliver me.

2 He ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku mālohi: ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi pe ʻi he taʻomia ʻe he fili?

For you - [are] [the] God of refuge my why? have you rejected me why? mourning do I go about in [the] oppression of an enemy.

3 Ke ke fekau atu hoʻo maama mo hoʻo moʻoni: tuku ke na tataki au; tuku ke na ʻomi au ki ho moʻunga māʻoniʻoni, mo ho ngaahi fale fehikitaki.

Send light your and truth your they may they lead me may they bring me to [the] mountain of holiness your and to dwelling place your.

4 Ko ia te u toki ʻalu atu ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ki he ʻOtua ko hoku fiefiaʻanga lahi ʻaupito: ʻio, ʻi he haʻape te u fakamālō kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua ko hoku ʻOtua.

And I will go - to [the] altar of God to [the] God of [the] joy of rejoicing my and I will give thanks to you with a harp O God God my.

5 Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? pea ko e hā ʻoku ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? ʻAmanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua: he ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia, ʻaia ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoku mata, mo hoku ʻOtua.

Why? are you bowed down - O soul my and why? are you in turmoil on me wait for God for again I will give thanks to him [the] salvation of face my and God my.
