Saame 71
1 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou falala kiate koe ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u mā ʻo taʻengata.
In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
2 Fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, pea tuku ke u hao: fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au, ʻo fakamoʻui au.
In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!
3 Ke ke ʻiate au ko e nofoʻanga mālohi ʻaia te u hū maʻuaipē ki ai: kuo ke fekau ke fakamoʻui au; he ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo hoku hūfanga.
Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my fortress!
4 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala, mei he nima ʻoe kau tangata taʻemāʻoniʻoni mo angamālohi.
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
5 He ko koe, ʻE ʻEiki Sihova, ko ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei: ko koe ko hoku falalaʻanga talu ʻeku kei siʻi.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust from my youth!
6 Kuo ke poupou au talu ʻeku [māvae ]mei he manāva: ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he fatu ʻo ʻeku faʻē: te u fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē kiate koe.
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 ʻOku ou hangē ko e meʻa fakaofo ki he tokolahi: ka ko koe ko hoku hūfanga mālohi.
I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
8 Tuku ke pito hoku ngutu ʻaki hoʻo fakamālō mo hoʻo fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
9 Pea ʻoua naʻa siʻaki au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku motuʻa; ʻoua naʻa liʻaki au ʻoka mole ʻiate au ʻeku mālohi.
Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 He ʻoku lea kovi kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lamasi hoku laumālie ʻoku nau fakakaukau fakataha,
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
11 ʻO nau pehē, “Kuo liʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua: fakatanga ʻo puke ia; he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui ia.”
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
12 ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fai vave ke tokoni au.
O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
13 Tuku ke puputuʻu mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ko e fili ki hoku laumālie; ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae mā mo e manuki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 Ka te u ʻamanaki lelei maʻuaipē, pea ʻe tupulekina pe ʻeku fakamālō kiate koe.
But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
15 ʻE fakahā atu ʻe hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo māʻoniʻoni mo hoʻo fakamoʻui ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ki hono lau ʻo ia.
My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 Te u ʻalu ʻi he mālohi ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova: te u fakahā hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ʻio, ʻoʻou pe.
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
17 ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke akonakiʻi au talu ʻeku kei siʻi: pea talu mei muʻa mo ʻeku fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo.
O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
18 Pea ko eni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi heʻeku motuʻa mo ʻuluhinā, ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki au; kaeʻoua ke u fakahā ho mālohi ki he toʻutangata ni, mo hoʻo māfimafi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe haʻu.
And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni foki, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku māʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻa koe naʻa ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi: ʻE ʻOtua, ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe!
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
20 ʻA koe, kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoku lahi mo kovi, te ke toe fakaake au, ʻo toe ʻohake au mei he loto kelekele.
Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 Te ke fakatupulekina hoku nāunauʻia, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
22 ʻE hoku ʻOtua, te u fakamālō foki kiate koe, ʻio, ki hoʻo moʻoni ʻaki ʻae saliteli: te u hiva kiate koe ʻaki ʻae haʻape, ʻa koe koe tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻa ʻIsileli.
Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
23 ʻE fiefia lahi hoku loungutu ʻo kau ka hiva kiate koe; mo hoku laumālie ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi.
My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
24 ʻE talanoa ʻa hoku ʻelelo foki ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: he kuo puputuʻu, kuo hoko ʻo mā, ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke u kovi.
My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
