Saame 89
1 Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Itani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Esela. Te u hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata: te u fakaʻilo ʻaki hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo moʻoni ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
A Psalme to give instruction, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lord for euer: with my mouth will I declare thy trueth from generation to generation.
2 He naʻaku pehē, “ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu pē ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻo taʻengata: ko hoʻo moʻoni te ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he ngaahi langi.”
For I said, Mercie shalbe set vp for euer: thy trueth shalt thou stablish in ye very heauens.
3 Kuo u fai ʻae fuakava mo ʻeku fili, kuo u fuakava ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.
I haue made a couenant with my chosen: I haue sworne to Dauid my seruant,
4 “Te u fakatuʻumaʻu ho hako ʻo taʻengata, te u fokotuʻu ho puleʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.” (Sila)
Thy seede will I stablish for euer, and set vp thy throne from generation to generation. (Selah)
5 Pea ʻe fakamālō ʻe he ngaahi langi ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo, ʻE Sihova: mo hoʻo moʻoni foki ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
O Lord, euen the heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worke: yea, thy trueth in the Congregation of the Saints.
6 He ko hai ʻi he langi ʻe fakatatau ia kia Sihova? Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe mālohi ʻe faʻa fakatatau kia Sihova?
For who is equall to the Lord in the heauen? and who is like the Lord among the sonnes of the gods?
7 ʻOku totonu ke manavahē lahi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai kiate ia.
God is very terrible in the assemblie of the Saints, and to be reuerenced aboue all, that are about him.
8 ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hai ʻoku tatau mo koe ko Sihova māfimafi? Pea ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku kāpui koe.
O Lord God of hostes, who is like vnto thee, which art a mightie Lord, and thy trueth is about thee?
9 ʻOku ke puleʻi ʻae ngaue mālohi ʻoe tahi: ʻoka hou hono ngaahi peau, ʻoku ke fakatofukī ia.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waues thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Kuo ke fesiʻi ʻa Lehapi ke lailai, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tāmateʻi; kuo fakahēʻi ho ngaahi fili ʻaki ho nima mālohi.
Thou hast beaten downe Rahab as a man slaine: thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy mightie arme.
11 ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e fonua: ko māmani mo hono fonu ʻo ia kuo ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
The heauens are thine, the earth also is thine: thou hast layde the foundation of the world, and all that therein is.
12 Kuo ke ngaohi ʻae potu tokelau mo e potu tonga: ko Tepoa mo Heamoni ʻe fiefia ʻi ho huafa.
Thou hast created the North and the South: Tabor and Hermon shall reioyce in thy Name.
13 ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae nima māfimafi ʻoku mālohi ho nima, pea māʻolunga ho nima toʻomataʻu.
Thou hast a mightie arme: strong is thine hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo ho ʻafioʻanga: ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
Righteousnesse and equitie are the stablishment of thy throne: mercy and trueth goe before thy face.
15 ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻae ongoongo fakafiefia: tenau ʻaʻeva, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
Blessed is the people, that can reioyce in thee: they shall walke in the light of thy countenance, O Lord.
16 Te nau fiefia ʻi ho huafa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: pea ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻe hakeakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
They shall reioyce continually in thy Name, and in thy righteousnes shall they exalt them selues.
17 He ko koe ko e vikivikiʻanga ʻo honau mālohi: pea ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻe hiki ai ki ʻolunga honau nifo.
For thou art the glory of their strength, and by thy fauour our hornes shall be exalted.
18 He ko homau hūfanga ʻa Sihova; pea ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli ko homau tuʻi.
For our shield apperteineth to the Lord, and our King to the holy one of Israel.
19 Pea naʻa ke toki folofola ʻi he meʻa ha mai ki hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u hilifaki ʻae tokoni ki ha tokotaha ʻoku mālohi; kuo u fakahikihiki ʻae tokotaha kuo fili mei he kakai.
Thou spakest then in a vision vnto thine Holy one, and saydest, I haue layde helpe vpon one that is mightie: I haue exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 Kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻa Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea kuo u tākai ʻaki ia ʻa ʻeku lolo māʻoniʻoni:
I haue found Dauid my seruant: with mine holy oyle haue I anoynted him.
21 ʻE tuʻumaʻu hoku nima mo ia: ko hoku nima foki ʻe fakamālohiʻi ia.
Therefore mine hande shall be established with him, and mine arme shall strengthen him.
22 ʻE ʻikai fai fakamālohi kiate ia ʻe he fili; pe fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he foha ʻoe angakovi.
The enemie shall not oppresse him, neither shall the wicked hurt him.
23 Pea te u taaʻi hifo hono ngaahi fili ʻi hono ʻao, pea tautea ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.
But I will destroy his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻa ʻeku moʻoni mo ʻeku ʻaloʻofa: pea ʻi hoku huafa ʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ai ʻa hono nifo.
My trueth also and my mercie shall be with him, and in my Name shall his horne be exalted.
25 Te u ʻai foki hono nima ki he tahi, mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ngaahi vaitafe.
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the floods.
26 ʻE tangi ia kiate au, ‘Ko koe ko ʻeku Tamai, ko hoku ʻOtua, mo e maka ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.’
He shall cry vnto mee, Thou art my Father, my God and the rocke of my saluation.
27 Pea te u ngaohi foki ia ko hoku ʻuluaki foha, ʻe māʻolunga lahi ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.
Also I wil make him my first borne, higher then the Kings of the earth.
28 Te u tuku ʻeku ʻaloʻofa maʻana ʻo taʻengata, pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻeku fuakava mo ia.
My mercie will I keepe for him for euermore, and my couenant shall stande fast with him.
29 Te u ngaohi foki hono hako kenau tolonga ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe langi.
His seede also will I make to endure for euer, and his throne as the dayes of heauen.
30 “Kapau ʻe liʻaki ʻeku akonaki ʻe heʻene fānau, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fakamaau;
But if his children forsake my Lawe, and walke not in my iudgements:
31 Kapau tenau maumauʻi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ʻikai tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
If they breake my statutes, and keepe not my commandements:
32 Pea te u toki ʻaʻahi ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaki ʻae meʻa kini, mo ʻenau hia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tā.
Then will I visite their transgression with the rod, and their iniquitie with strokes.
33 Ka ʻe ʻikai te u hiki ʻaupito ʻeku manavaʻofa ʻiate ia, pe tuku taʻehoko ʻa ʻeku moʻoni.
Yet my louing kindnesse will I not take from him, neither will I falsifie my trueth.
34 ʻE ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻeku fuakava, pe fakakehe ʻae meʻa kuo ʻalu atu ʻi hoku loungutu.
My couenant wil I not breake, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 “Kuo u fuakava tuʻo taha ʻi heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u loi kia Tevita.
I haue sworne once by mine holines, that I will not fayle Dauid, saying,
36 ʻE tolonga ʻene fānau ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi hoku ʻao.
His seede shall endure for euer, and his throne shalbe as the sunne before me.
37 ʻE fakatuʻumaʻu ia ke taʻengata ʻo hangē ko e māhina, pea hangē ko e fakamoʻoni ʻi he langi.” (Sila)
He shalbe established for euermore as the moone, and as a faythfull witnes in the heauen. (Selah)
38 Ka kuo liʻaki mo fākaliliʻa, mo ke houhau kiate ia naʻa ke pani.
But thou hast reiected and abhorred, thou hast bene angry with thine Anoynted.
39 Kuo ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: kuo ke fakakoviʻi hono tatā ʻi hoʻo lī ia ki he kelekele.
Thou hast broken the couenant of thy seruant, and profaned his crowne, casting it on the ground.
40 Kuo ke maumauʻi hifo hono ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē; kuo ke fakaʻauha hono ngaahi potu mālohi.
Thou hast broken downe all his walles: thou hast layd his fortresses in ruine.
41 Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoku nau kaihaʻa ʻiate ia: ko e manukiʻanga ia ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapi.
All that goe by the way, spoyle him: he is a rebuke vnto his neighbours.
42 Kuo ke hiki hake ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hono ngaahi fili; kuo ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
Thou hast set vp the right hand of his enemies, and made all his aduersaries to reioyce.
43 Kuo ke liliu foki ʻae mata ʻo ʻene heletā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ngaohi ia ke tuʻu ʻi he tau.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sworde, and hast not made him to stand in the battell.
44 Kuo ke fakaʻosi hono nāunau, pea lī hono nofoʻa ki he kelekele.
Thou hast caused his dignitie to decay, and cast his throne to the ground.
45 Kuo ke fakafuonounou ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene talavou: kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae mā. (Sila)
The dayes of his youth hast thou shortned, and couered him with shame. (Selah)
46 ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Te ke fakafufū koe ʻo taʻengata? ʻE vela ho houhau ʻo hangē ko e afi?
Lord, howe long wilt thou hide thy selfe, for euer? shall thy wrath burne like fire?
47 Manatu ki hono fuonounou ʻo ʻeku moʻui: ko e hā kuo ke ngaohi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke taʻeʻaonga?
Remember of what time I am: wherefore shouldest thou create in vaine all the children of men?
48 Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he mate? ʻE fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻa hono laumālie mei he nima ʻoe faʻitoka? (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
What man liueth, and shall not see death? shall hee deliuer his soule from the hande of the graue? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 ʻE ʻEiki, ko e fē hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻi muʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki kia Tevita ʻi hoʻo moʻoni?
Lord, where are thy former mercies, which thou swarest vnto Dauid in thy trueth?
50 Manatu, ʻE ʻEiki, ki he manukiʻi ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; mo ʻeku fua ʻi hoku fatafata ʻae manuki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē;
Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy seruants, which I beare in my bosome of all the mightie people.
51 ʻAia kuo manuki ʻaki ʻe ho ngaahi fili, ʻE Sihova; ʻaia kuo nau manuki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻo ia kuo ke pani.
For thine enemies haue reproched thee, O Lord, because they haue reproched the footesteps of thine Anointed.
52 Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
Praised be the Lord for euermore. So be it, euen so be it.
