Saame 5
1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekiloti, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻE Sihova, tokanga ki heʻeku fakalaulauloto.
To the chief Musician. Upon Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my (meditation)
2 Ke ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku tangi, ʻE hoku tuʻi, mo hoku ʻOtua: he te u lotu pe kiate koe.
Hearken unto the voice of my crying, my king and my God; for to thee will I pray.
3 Ko hoku leʻo te ke ongoʻi ʻE Sihova, ʻi he pongipongi; ʻi he pongipongi te u ʻohake ʻeku lotu kiate koe, pea u hanga hake.
Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I address myself to thee, and will look up.
4 He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua koe ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he angahala: pea ʻe ʻikai nonofo mo koe ʻae kovi.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 ʻE ʻikai tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae kau vale: ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki he kakai fai kovi kotoa pē.
Insolent fools shall not stand before thine eyes; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
6 Te ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea loi: ʻe fakaliliʻa ʻa Sihova ki he tangata pani toto mo kākā.
Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth a man of blood and deceit.
7 Ka ko au, te u hū ki ho fale ʻi he lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: pea ʻi he manavahē kiate koe te u hū ʻi he faletapu ʻo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
But as for me, in the greatness of thy loving-kindness will I enter thy house; I will bow down toward the temple of thy holiness in thy fear.
8 Tataki au, ʻE Sihova, ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili; fakatotonu ho hala ʻi hoku mata.
Lead me, Jehovah, in thy righteousness, because of my foes; make thy way plain before me.
9 He ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻi honau ngutu; ʻoku mātuʻaki kovi honau loto; ko honau kia ko e fonualoto kuo matangaki; ʻoku nau lapu ʻaki honau ʻelelo.
For there is no certainty in their mouth; their inward part is perversion, their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
10 Ke ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻE ʻOtua; tuku ke nau hinga ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau ʻanautolu; ke ke lī kituʻa ʻakinautolu ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻenau talangataʻa; he kuo nau angatuʻu kiate koe.
Bring guilt upon them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: drive them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against thee.
11 Kae tuku ke fiefia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku falala kiate koe: ke nau kalanga maʻuaipē ʻi he fiefia, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo maluʻi ʻakinautolu: tuku ke fiefia ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki ho huafa.
And all that trust in thee shall rejoice: for ever shall they shout joyously, and thou wilt protect them; and they that love thy name shall exult in thee.
12 He ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tāpuaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni; te ke kāpui ʻaki ia ʻae ʻofa ʻo hangē ko e fakaū.
For thou, Jehovah, wilt bless the righteous [man]; with favour wilt thou surround him as [with] a shield.
