Saame 61

1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo ki heʻeku tangi; tokanga ki heʻeku lotu.

E HOOLOHE mai, e ke Akua, i ko'u kahea ana; E maliu pono mai i ka'u pule.

2 Te u tangi kiate koe mei he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoka taʻomia hoku loto: ke ke tataki au ki he maka ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate au.

Mai ka welau o ka honua e kahea aku ai au ia oe, I ka paumako o ko'u naau; E alakai oe ia'u i ka pohaku kiekie maluna o'u.

3 He naʻa ke hoko ko hoku ungakiʻi, ko e fale māʻolunga pea mālohi ki he fili.

No ka mea, ua lilo mai oe i paku no'u; He halekaua paa imua o ka enemi.

4 Te u nofomaʻu ʻi ho fale fehikitaki ʻo taʻengata: te u falala ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau. (Sila)

E noho wau maloko o kou halelewa a mau loa: E kanaho au ma ka hoomalu ana o kou mau eheu. (Sila)

5 He kuo ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke foaki kiate au ʻae tofiʻa ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē ki ho huafa.

No ka mea, ua lohe oe, e ke Akua, i ka'u mau mea i hoohiki ai: Ua haawi mai hoi oe ia'u i ka hooilina o ka poe weliweli i kou inoa.

6 Te ke fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae tuʻi, mo hono ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.

E hooloihi no oe i na la o ke alii: A i kona mau makahiki ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku.

7 ‌ʻE nofomaʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua taʻengata: ke ke teuteu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni ʻaia te na fakamoʻui ia. Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

E noho ia imua o ke Akua a mau loa; E hoomakaukau mai oe i ke aloha a me ka oiaio, e ola'i ia.

8 Ko ia te u hiva fakamālō ai ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi ke u fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

Pela, e himeni mau loa aku au i kou inoa, E hooko aku i kela la i keia la i ka'u mau mea i berita ai.
