Saame 7
1 Ko e Sikaiona ʻa Tevita, ʻaia naʻa ne hiva ʻaki kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Kusi mei he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou falala pe kiate koe: ke ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakatangaʻi au, mo ke fakahaofi au.
O YHWH my Elohim, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Telia naʻa ne haehae hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e laione, ʻo haehae ia ke fakaikiiki, ʻoka ʻikai ha fakahaofi.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kapau naʻaku fai eni; kapau ʻoku ai ha angahala ʻi hoku nima;
O YHWH my Elohim, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 Kapau ne u totongi kovi kiate ia naʻe nofo ʻi he melino mo au; ʻio, naʻaku fakamoʻui ia ʻaia kuo hoko ko hoku fili taʻehanoʻuhinga:
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 Tuku ke tuli hoku laumālie ʻe he fili, pea maʻu ia; ʻio, tuku ke ne molomoloki hifo ʻeku moʻui ʻi he kelekele, pea fakatokoto hoku ongoongolelei ʻi he efu. (Sila)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ʻi ho houhau, ke ke hiki hake koe, ko e meʻa ʻi he lili ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: pea ke ʻā hake koeʻuhi ko au ki he fakamaau ʻaia naʻa ke fekau.
Arise, O YHWH, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Pehē ʻe kāpui koe ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kakai: ko ia ko e meʻa ʻiate kinautolu ke ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai: ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea hangē ko ʻeku angatonu ʻoku ʻiate au.
YHWH shall judge the people: judge me, O YHWH, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Tuku ke ngata ʻae kovi ʻoe angakovi, ka ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae angatonu: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi loto mo e ngaahi konga loto.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous Elohim trieth the hearts and reins.
10 ʻOku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻa hoku fakaū, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻae kakai angatonu ʻi loto.
My defence is of Elohim, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 ʻOku fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku houhau ʻae ʻOtua ki he angakovi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
Elohim judgeth the righteous, and El is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki, te ne fakamata ʻa ʻene heletā; kuo ne teteke ʻene kaufana, ʻo teuteu ia.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Kuo ne teuteu foki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakapō; ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻene ngaahi ngahau ki he kau fakatanga.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Vakai, ʻoku langā ia ʻi he angakovi, pea kuo ne tuʻituʻia ʻae angapauʻu, pea fanauʻi ʻe ia ʻae kākā.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae luo, ʻo keli ia, pea kuo tō ia ki he luo naʻa ne ngaohi.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 ʻE foki ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene angapauʻu, pea ʻe tō hifo ki hono tumuʻaki ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene ngāue fakamālohi.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni: pea te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe.
I will praise YHWH according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of YHWH most high.
