< Saame 68 >
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita. Ke tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua, tuku ke veteki hono ngaahi fili: tuku ke puna foki mei hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them in the holy place, as at Sinai.
18 Kuo ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga, kuo u angatuʻu foki, koeʻuhi ke nofo kiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
You have ascended on high; you have led away captives; you have received gifts from among men, even from those who fought against you, so that you, Yahweh God, might live there.
19 Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia ʻoku ne hili kiate kitautolu ʻae kavenga ʻoe meʻa lelei ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hotau fakamoʻui. (Sila)
