Saame 91

1 Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu lilo ʻi he fungani māʻolunga, ʻe nofomaʻu ia he malumalu ʻoe Māfimafi.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of Shaddai.

2 Te u pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko hoku hūfanga ia mo ʻeku kolo: ko hoku ʻOtua te u falala kiate ia.”

I will say of YHWH, "He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."

3 Ko e moʻoni te ne fakamoʻui koe mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele, pea mei he mahaki fakaʻauha.

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

4 Te ne ʻōʻōfaki koe ʻaki hono fulufulu, pea te ke falala ki hono lalo kapakau: ko ʻene moʻoni ko ho fakaū mo ho pā ia.

He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His truth is an encompassing shield.

5 ‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fakailifia ʻi he pō; pe koeʻuhi ko e ngahau ʻoku puna atu ʻi he ʻaho;

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 Pe koeʻuhi ko e mahaki lahi ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli; pe koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha ʻoku fakaʻosiʻosi ʻi he hoʻatā.

nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 ‌ʻE tō ʻae toko afe ʻi ho tafaʻaki, pea ko e toko mano ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

8 Ka te ke vakai ʻo mamata ʻaki ho mata ki he totongi ʻoe angahala.

You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Koeʻuhi kuo ke fili ʻa Sihova ʻaia ko hoku hūfanga, ʻio, ko e fungani māʻolunga ko ho nofoʻanga:

Because you have made YHWH, my refuge, the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 ‌ʻE ʻikai tō ha kovi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ha mamahi fakaʻauha ke ofi ki ho nofoʻanga.

no evil shall overtake you; no plague shall come near your dwelling.

11 He te ne fekau ʻene kau ʻāngelo kenau vakai koe, ke tauhi koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē.

For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

12 Tenau hapai hake koe ʻi he nima, telia naʻa tūkia ho vaʻe ki ha maka.

In their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 Te ke molomoloki ʻae laione mo e ngata: ko e laione mui mo e talākoni te ke malaki hifo ia.

You will tread upon the lion and the viper. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

14 “Koeʻuhi kuo ne tuku ʻene ʻofa kiate au, ko ia te u fakamoʻui ia: te u fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻiloʻi hoku huafa.

"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

15 Te ne ui kiate au, pea te u talia ia: te u ʻiate ia ʻi he mamahi; te u fakamoʻui ia, pea hakeakiʻi ia.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 Te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ia ʻae moʻui fuoloa, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻeku fakamoʻui.”

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation."
