Saame 81
1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. Hiva kalanga ki he ʻOtua ko hotau mālohi, kalanga fakafiefia ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Kititi. Na Ahapa. Kia kaha te waiata ki te Atua, ki to tatou kaha: kia hari te hamama ki te Atua o Hakopa.
2 Toʻo mai ʻae saame, pea ʻomi ʻae kihiʻi lali, mo e haʻape mālie mo e saliteli.
Whakahuatia te himene, maua mai ki konei te timipera, te hapa reka me te hatere.
3 Ifi mālohi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi he māhina foʻou, ʻi he ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi hotau ʻaho kātoanga mamalu.
Whakatangihia te tetere i te kowhititanga marama, i te kinga o te marama, i to tatou ra hakari.
4 He ko e fekau eni ki ʻIsileli, mo e fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
Ko te tikanga hoki tenei ma Iharaira, he mea whakarite na te Atua o Hakopa.
5 Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni eni ʻia Siosefa ko e fakamoʻoni, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ai ki he lea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
I whakatakotoria tenei e ia ma Hohepa hei whakaaturanga, i tona haerenga puta noa i te whenua o Ihipa: i rongo ai ahau ki reira i tetahi reo, kahore ahau i matau.
6 “Naʻaku hiki ʻae kavenga mei hono uma: naʻe hao hono nima mei he ngaahi kato.
I tangohia mai e ahau tona pokohiwi i te pikaunga: whakarerea ake e ona ringa te kete.
7 Naʻa ke ui ʻi he mamahi, pea ne u fakamoʻui koe: naʻaku talia koe ʻi he potu lilo ʻoe mana: ne u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa. (Sila)
I karanga koe ki ahau i te pouritanga, a kua ora koe i ahau; i whakahoki kupu ahau ki a koe i te wahi ngaro o te whatitiri; i whakamatau i a koe ki nga wai o Meripa. (Hera)
8 Fanongo, ʻE hoku kakai, pea te u fakapapau kiate koe: ʻE ʻIsileli, kapau te ke tokanga mai kiate au;
Whakarongo, e taku iwi, a ka whakaatu ahau ki a koe: e Iharaira, ki te whakarongo koe ki ahau;
9 ʻOua naʻa fokotuʻu ha ʻotua foʻou kiate koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hū ki ha ʻotua foʻou.
Aua tetahi atua ke i roto i a koe; kaua ano e koropiko ki te atua ke.
10 Ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: fakamanga ho ngutu ke lahi, pea te u fakafonu ia.
Ko Ihowa ahau, ko tou Atua, i arahina mai ai koe i te whenua o Ihipa: kia nui te kowhera o tou mangai, a maku e whakaki.
11 “Ka naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ʻa hoku kakai ki hoku leʻo; pea naʻe ʻikai manako ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au.
Otiia kihai taku iwi i pai ki te whakarongo ki toku reo: kihai ano a Iharaira i aro ki ahau.
12 Ko ia ne u fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ki he holi kovi ʻa honau loto: pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
Na tukua atu ana ratou e ahau ki te maro o o ratou ngakau: a haere ana ratou i runga i o ratou whakaaro.
13 ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tokanga ʻa hoku kakai kiate au, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala!
Aue, te whakarongo taku iwi ki ahau! Te haere a Iharaira i aku ara!
14 Pehē, kuo u fakavaivaiʻi leva honau ngaahi fili, ʻo mafao atu hoku nima ki honau kau fakamamahi.
Penei e kore e aha kua whati i ahau te tara o o ratou hoariri: kua tahuri ano toku ringa ki o ratou hoariri.
15 Pea ko e kau fehiʻa kia Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate ia: ka ʻe tolonga ʻo taʻengata honau ngaahi ʻaho.
Ko te hunga e kino ana ki a Ihowa kua ngohengohe ki a ia: ko to ratou taima ia kua mau tonu.
16 Kuo ne fafanga foki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae uite mātuʻaki lelei: pea u fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae hone mei he maka.”
Kua whangainga hoki ratou e ia ki te witi pai rawa, kua whakamakonatia ano koe e ahau ki te honi i roto i te kohatu.
