Saame 58

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻAe fakataha, ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻomou lea māʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu? ʻAe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku mou fakamaau totonu koā?

Psalmus, in finem, ne corrumpas, David in tituli inscriptionem. Si vere utique iustitiam loquimini: recte iudicate filii hominum.

2 ‌ʻIo, ʻoku mou fai kovi ʻi loto; ʻoku mou fakamamafa ʻae kovi ʻo homou nima ʻi māmani.

Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini: in terra iniustitias manus vestrae concinnant.

3 Talu ʻae māvae ʻae angakovi mo e manāva mo ʻenau hē: ʻoku nau ʻalu hē leva talu ʻenau fanauʻi, ʻi he lea loi.

Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva, erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa.

4 Ko honau kona ʻoku hangē ko e kona ʻoe ngata: ʻoku nau tatau mo e ngata tuli ʻoku ne tāpuni hono telinga;

Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis: sicut aspidis surdae, et obturantis aures suas,

5 ‌ʻAia ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe kau fakafiemālie, neongo ʻae poto lahi ʻoe tangata faiva.

Quae non exaudiet vocem incantantium: et venefici incantantis sapienter.

6 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke sili honau kau nifo ʻi honau ngutu: ʻE Sihova, pakiʻi ʻo toʻo kituʻa ʻae kau nifo lahi ʻoe fanga laione mui.

Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum: molas leonum confringet Dominus.

7 Tuku ke vela ʻo vai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻoku tafe maʻuaipē: ʻoka teteke ʻe ia ʻene kau fana ke fana ʻaki ʻene ngaahi ngahau, tuku ke tuʻutuʻu ʻakinautolu.

Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens: intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur.

8 Ke mole ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e sineli: tuku ke nau hangē ko e tama taʻehoko ʻae fefine, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata ki he laʻā.

Sicut cera, quae fluit, auferentur: supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem.

9 ‌ʻI he teʻeki vela ki hoʻomou kulo ʻae okooko ʻakau talatala, ʻe ʻosi ʻene ʻave moʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi hono houhau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio.

Priusquam intelligerent spinae vestrae rhamnum: sicut viventes, sic in ira absorbet eos.

10 ‌ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻene mamata ki he totongi: ʻe fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻoe angakovi.

Laetabitur iustus cum viderit vindictam: manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris.

11 Ko ia ʻe pehē ai ʻe he tangata, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae totongi ki he māʻoniʻoni: ko e moʻoni ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku fakamaau ʻi māmani.”

Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus iusto: utique est Deus iudicans eos in terra.
