Saame 45
1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Sosanimi, ko e akonaki ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola, ko e Hiva ki he ngaahi ʻofa. ʻOku mapuna hake ʻi hoku loto ʻae meʻa lelei: te u lea ki he meʻa kuo u ngaohi ki he tuʻi: ko hoku ʻelelo ko e peni ki he tohi vave.
My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 ʻOku ke fakaʻofoʻofa lahi ʻi he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata: kuo lilingi ʻae ʻofa ki ho loungutu: ko ia kuo fakamonūʻia ai koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga.
Thou art fairer than the children of men: favour is poured into thy lips: therefore Elohim hath blessed thee for ever.
3 ʻE Fungani Māfimafi ke ke nonoʻo hoʻo heletā ki ho tuʻatenga, ʻi ho nāunau mo ho mālohi.
Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 Pea ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ke ke hāʻele monūʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he moʻoni mo e angavaivai mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe ako kiate koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 ʻOku māsila hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi he loto ʻoe ngaahi fili ʻoe tuʻi; ʻoku tō ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻiate koe.
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6 ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia.
Thy throne, O Elohim, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 ʻOku ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala: ko ia ko e ʻOtua ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore Elohim, thy Elohim, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 ʻOku namu mula, mo ʻalosi, mo kāsia, ʻa ho ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, mei he ngaahi fale lei, ʻaia kuo nau fakafiefiaʻi koe.
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Naʻe ʻi hoʻo kau fefine ongolelei ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he koula mei Ofeli.
Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Fakafanongo, ʻE ʻofefine, pea tokanga, ʻo fakatokangaʻi ho telinga; fakangaloʻi foki hoʻo kakai ʻaʻau, mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai;
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
11 Ko ia ʻe manako lahi ai ʻae tuʻi ki ho hoihoifua: he ko ho ʻEiki ia; pea ke hū kiate ia.
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Master; and worship thou him.
12 Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Taia mo e meʻaʻofa; ko e kau koloaʻia ʻi he kakai te nau kumi lahi ki hoʻo ʻofa.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13 Ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku lelei lahi ʻi loto; ko hono ngaahi kofu kuo lalanga ʻaki ʻae koula.
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 ʻE ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻi he kofu ʻoku matamatalelei hono tuitui: ko e kau tāupoʻou ko hono kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku muimui kiate ia ʻe omi ʻakinautolu kiate koe.
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 ʻE omi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fiefia mo e nekeneka: te nau hū ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 ʻE fetongi hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻe hoʻo fānau, ʻaia te ke fakanofo ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17 Te u fai ke manatuʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē: ko ia ʻe fakafetaʻi ʻae kakai kiate koe ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
