Saame 48
1 Ko e Hiva mo e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ʻOku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku lelei ke fakamālō lahi kiate ia, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻene māʻoniʻoni.
A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Ko e tuʻunga matamatalelei ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻi hono potu tokelau ʻae kolo ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.
3 ʻOku ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ko e hūfanga ʻi hono ngaahi fale lahi ʻo ia.
God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 Pea vakai, naʻe fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻalu atu fakataha.
For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 Naʻa nau mamata ai, pea nau ofo; naʻa nau mamahi, pea hola.
They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Naʻe tuia ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻi he manavahē, mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 ʻOku ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻo Tasisi ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake.
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 Hangē ko ia naʻa mau fanongo, kuo pehē ʻemau mamata ʻi he kolo ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua: ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata. (Sila)
As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Kuo mau manatu ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi ho loto faletapu.
We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.
10 ʻO hangē ko ho huafa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku pehē ho ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku pito ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Tuku ke fiefia ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, tuku ke nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.
Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.
12 Mou ʻeveʻeva takatakai ʻi Saione, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻiate ia: lau hono ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻo ia.
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13 Mou vakai lelei ki hono ngaahi puke, tokanga ki hono ngaahi fale lahi; koeʻuhi ke mou tala ia ki he toʻutangata ʻe hoko.
Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 “He ko e ʻOtua ni ko hotau ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata: te ne tauhi ʻakitautolu ʻo aʻu ki he mate.”
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
