Saame 74

1 Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata? Ko e hā ʻoku kohu ai ho houhau ki he fanga sipi ʻo hoʻo ngoue?

2 Manatu ki he fakataha ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻaia naʻa ke fakatau ʻi muʻa; ko e faʻahinga ʻo ho tofiʻa, ʻaia kuo ke huhuʻi; ʻae moʻunga ni ko Saione, ʻaia naʻa ke nofo ai.

3 Hiki hake ho vaʻe ki hono ngaahi maumau kuo tuʻumaʻu pe; ʻio, ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻi he angakovi ʻe he fili ʻi he faletapu.

4 ‌ʻOku ʻioho ʻa ho ngaahi fili ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakataha; ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi fuka ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga.

5 Naʻe ongoongo ʻae tangata ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene faʻa fai ke hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi toki ki he ngaahi ʻakau lahi.

6 Ka ko eni, kuo nau maumauʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi toki mo e hamala ʻae ngaahi meʻa tongitongi kotoa pē.

7 Kuo nau lī ʻae afi ki ho faletapu, kuo nau ʻuliʻi ʻae ʻafioʻanga ʻo ho huafa ʻo holoki hifo ia ki he kelekele.

8 Naʻa nau pehē ʻi honau loto, “Ketau fakaʻauha fakataha ʻakinautolu:” kuo nau tutu ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi falelotu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he fonua.

9 ‌ʻOku ʻikai temau kei mamata ki heʻemau ngaahi fakaʻilonga: ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe toe: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku ne ʻilo pe ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa.

10 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe lauʻikovi ʻae fili? ʻE kape ki ho huafa ʻe he fili ʻo taʻengata?

11 Ko e hā ʻoku ke toʻo atu ai ho nima, ʻio, ho nima toʻomataʻu? Toʻo mai ia mei ho fatafata.

12 He ko e ʻOtua ko hoku Tuʻi talu mei muʻa, ʻoku ne fai ʻae fakamoʻui ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo māmani.

13 Naʻa ke vaeua ʻae tahi ʻi ho mālohi: naʻa ke foaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻoe ngaahi talākoni ʻi he ngaahi vai,

14 ‌ʻOku ke foaʻi ʻo laiki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu ʻoe levaiatani, ʻo ke ʻange ia ko e meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa.

15 Naʻa ke vaeua ʻae matavai mo e vaitafe lahi: naʻa ke fakamōmoa ʻae ngaahi vaitafe lahi.

16 ‌ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ʻaho, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e pō: kuo ke teuteu ʻae maama mo e laʻā.

17 Kuo ke ʻai ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; kuo ke ngaohi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana mo e faʻahitaʻu momoko.

18 ‌ʻE Sihova, manatu ki he meʻa ni, kuo lauʻikovi ʻe he fili, pea kuo kape ki ho huafa ʻae kakai vale.

19 ‌ʻOua naʻa tukuange ʻae laumālie ʻo ho ʻofaʻanga ki he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kau angakovi: ʻoua naʻa ngalo ʻiate koe ʻae fakataha ʻo ho kakai masiva ʻo taʻengata.

20 Ke ke tokanga ki he fuakava: he ʻoku pito ʻae ngaahi potu fakapoʻuli ʻo māmani ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoe angamālohi.

21 ‌ʻOua naʻa ke tuku ke liu mai kuo mā ʻae kakai kuo taʻomia: tuku ke fakamālō ki ho huafa ʻae kau masiva mo e vaivai.

22 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke tuʻu hake, ʻo langomakiʻi hoʻo ngāue ʻaʻau: manatu ki he lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻe he tangata vale ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

23 ‌ʻOua naʻa ngalo ʻae leʻo ʻo ho ngaahi fili: ko e maveuveu ʻokinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate koe ʻoku tupulekina ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
