< 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.
For the Chief Musician; with the Nehiloth. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD, 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 cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee do 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.
O LORD, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; in the morning will I order [my prayer] unto thee, and will keep watch.
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.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: 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 shalt destroy them that speak lies: the LORD abhorreth the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
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 multitude of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Tataki au, ʻE Sihova, ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili; fakatotonu ho hala ʻi hoku mata.
Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way plain before my face.
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 faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness: 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.
Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own counsels: thrust 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.
But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice, let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful 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 wilt bless the righteous; O LORD, thou wilt compass him with favour as with a shield.
