Saame 9

1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Muti-Lapeni, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻaki hoku loto kotoa; te u fakahā atu hoʻo ngāue fakaofo kotoa pē.

I WILL praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

2 Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe: te u hiva fakamālō ki ho huafa, ʻa koe ʻoku ke māʻolunga lahi taha pe.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

3 Pea ka foki kimui hoku ngaahi fili, te nau hinga ʻo ʻauha ʻi ho fofonga.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

4 He naʻa ke langomia ʻeku totonu mo ʻeku ngāue; naʻa ke nofo ʻi he nofoʻa, ʻo fakamaau ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

5 Kuo ke valoki ʻae hiteni, kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻae angakovi, kuo ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

6 Kuo hoko ke ngata ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi fakaʻauha ʻoe fili: pea ko honau ngaahi kolo kuo ke fakaʻauha; kuo ʻauha mo kinautolu honau fakamanatu.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

7 Ka ʻe moʻui maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova: kuo ne teuʻi hono ʻafioʻanga ki he fakamaau.

But the Lord shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

8 Pea te ne fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae fakamaau ki he kakai ʻi he angatonu.

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

9 Pea ko e hūfanga foki ʻa Sihova ki he mamahi, ko e kalofanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo ki ho huafa te nau falala kiate koe: he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te ke siʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe.

And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Hiva fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi Saione: fakahā ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ʻene ngaahi ngāue.

Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings.

12 ‌ʻOka ne ka ʻeke ki he toto, ʻoku ne manatuʻi ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakangalongaloʻi ʻae tangi ʻae angavaivai.

When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

13 Ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, ʻE Sihova; ʻo tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, ʻa koe ʻoku ke hiki au ki ʻolunga mei he ngaahi matapā ʻoe mate:

Have mercy upon me, O Lord; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death:

14 Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ho ongoongolelei kotoa pē. ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe taʻahine ʻo Saione: te u fiefia ʻi hoʻo fakamoʻui.

That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.

15 Kuo ngalo hifo ʻae hiteni ʻi he luo naʻa nau ngaohi: ʻi he tauhele naʻa nau fakalilo kuo moʻua ai honau vaʻe.

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

16 ‌ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he fakamaau ʻoku ne fai: kuo heleʻi ʻae angakovi ʻi he ngāue ʻa hono nima ʻoʻona. (Hikaione, Sila)

The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)

17 ‌ʻE tekeʻi ʻae angahala ki loto heli, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua. (Sheol h7585)

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)

18 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ngalo maʻuaipē ʻae masiva: ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ke taʻengata ʻae ʻamanaki ʻae masiva.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

19 Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mālohi ʻae tangata: tuku ke fakamaau ʻae hiteni ʻi ho ʻao.

Arise, O Lord; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight.

20 Fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻE Sihova: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ko e tangata pē ʻakinautolu. (Sila)

Put them in fear, O Lord: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
