Saame 66

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame. Mou kalanga fiefia ki he ʻOtua, ʻae fonua kotoa pē:

For the chief musician. A song, a psalm. Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;

2 Hiva ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hono huafa: fakaongoongolelei ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.

Sing out the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

3 Mou pehē ki he ʻOtua, “ʻOku ke fakamanavahē koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ai ʻekinautolu ʻe ho ngaahi fili kiate koe.

Say to God, “How terrifying are your deeds! By the greatness of your power your enemies will submit to you.

4 ‌ʻE hū ʻa māmani kotoa pē kiate koe, ʻonau hiva kiate koe; te nau hiva ki ho huafa.” (Sila)

All the earth will worship you and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” (Selah)

5 Haʻu ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku fakamanavahē ia ʻi heʻene ngāue ki he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.

Come and see the works of God; he is fearsome in his deeds toward the sons of mankind.

6 Naʻa ne liliu ʻae tahi ko e fonua mōmoa: naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he fuʻu vaitafe ʻi honau vaʻe: naʻa tau fiefia ʻiate ia ʻi ai.

He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there we rejoiced in him.

7 ‌ʻOku pule ia ʻi heʻene māfimafi ʻo taʻengata; ʻoku vakai ʻe hono fofonga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga: ʻoua naʻa hiki hake ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau angatuʻu. (Sila)

He rules forever by his might; his eyes observe the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. (Selah)

8 ‌ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai, mou fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua, pea fai ke ongo ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālō kiate ia:

Give blessing to God, you people, let the sound of his praise be heard.

9 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ne poupou hotau laumālie ʻi he moʻui, pea ʻikai tuku hotau vaʻe ke ngaue.

He keeps us among the living, and he does not permit our feet to slip.

10 He kuo ke ʻiloʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe siliva.

For you, God, have tested us; you have tested us as silver is tested.

11 Naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he kupenga; naʻa ke ʻai ʻae mahaki ki homau kongaloto.

You brought us into a net; you laid a heavy burden on our backs.

12 Naʻa ke tuku ke laka ʻae kakai ʻi homau ʻulu; naʻa mau ʻalu pe ʻi he afi mo e vai: ka naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu mahu.

You made people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us out into a spacious place.

13 Te u hū ki ho fale mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu: te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi fuakava,

I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows

14 ‌ʻAia kuo ongo atu mei hoku loungutu, pea lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ngutu, ʻi heʻeku ʻi he mamahi.

which my lips promised and my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

15 Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻae fanga manu sino, mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻoe fanga sipitangata; te u ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi. (Sila)

I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals with the sweet aroma of rams; I will offer bulls and goats. (Selah)

16 Haʻu ʻo fanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pea te u fakahā ʻaia kuo ne fai ki hoku laumālie.

Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will declare what he has done for my soul.

17 Naʻaku tangi kiate ia ʻaki hoku ngutu, pea naʻe fakamālō ʻa hoku ʻelelo kiate ia.

I cried to him with my mouth, and he was praised with my tongue.

18 Kapau te u tokanga ki he kovi ʻi hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au:

If I had seen sin within my heart, the Lord would not have listened to me.

19 Ka ko e moʻoni kuo ongoʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua; naʻe tokanga ia ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu.

But God has truly heard; he has paid attention to the voice of my prayer.

20 Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻeku lotu, pe ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻiate au.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer or his covenant faithfulness from me.
