< Saame 72 >
1 Ko e Saame maʻa Solomone. ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ki he tuʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tuʻi.
By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy righteousness to the king's son.
2 Te ne fakamaau hoʻo kakai ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo hoʻo kau masiva ʻaki ʻae fakamaau.
He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with judgment.
3 ʻE ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae melino ki he kakai, mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ngaahi tafungofunga.
The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
4 ʻE fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae kakai mamahi, te ne fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻae masiva, pea te ne fesifesi ʻae fakamālohi.
He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.
5 Te nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kei tuʻu ʻae laʻā, mo e māhina, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon, Generation — generations.
6 ʻE ʻalu hifo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha ki he mohuku kuo tutuʻu: ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha tuʻu mo tō ʻoku fakaviviku ʻae fonua.
He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers — sprinkling the earth.
7 ʻE tupu pē ʻae kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho; mo e melino lahi ʻaupito ʻi he kei tolonga ʻae māhina.
Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of peace till the moon is not.
8 ʻE pule ʻe ia foki mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth.
9 ʻE punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻemo ʻae efu ʻe hono ngaahi fili.
Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And his enemies lick the dust.
10 ʻE ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Tasisi pea mo e ngaahi motu: ʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sipa mo Sepa.
Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near.
11 ʻIo, ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻE tauhi ia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do serve him,
12 He te ne fakamoʻui ʻae masiva ʻi heʻene tangi; ʻae mamahi foki, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai hano tokoni.
For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,
13 Te ne fakamoʻui ʻae vaivai mo e masiva, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoe kau masiva.
He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,
14 ʻE huhuʻi ʻe ia honau laumālie mei he kākā mo e fakamālohi: pea ʻe mahuʻinga honau toto ʻi hono ʻao.
From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.
15 Pea ʻe moʻui pe ia, pea ʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae koula ʻo Sipa: ʻE fai maʻuaipē ʻae lotu koeʻuhi ko ia; pea ʻe fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,
And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him.
16 Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae falukunga ʻoe uite ʻi he fonua ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻe ngaueue hono fua ʻo ia ʻo hangē ko Lepanoni: pea ko kinautolu ʻi he kolo ʻe tupu pe ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻoe fonua.
There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish out of the city as the herb of the earth.
17 ʻE tuʻumaʻu hono huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻe tolonga maʻuaipē hono huafa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻiate ia: ʻe ui ia ko e monūʻia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.
18 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia tokotaha pe ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.
Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,
19 Pea fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki hono huafa ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata: pea tuku ke pito ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono nāunau; ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen!
20 Kuo ngata ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese.
The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
