< Saame 92 >

1 Ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ki he ʻaho tapu. ‌ʻOku lelei ke ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, pea ke hiva fakamālō ki ho huafa, ʻE fungani māʻolunga:
A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
2 Ke fakahā atu hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi, mo hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he pō kotoa pē,
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 ‌ʻAki ʻae meʻa faiva ʻoku hongofulu hono filo, pea mo e saliteli; ʻaki ʻae leʻo mamafa ʻi he haʻape.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 He kuo ke fakafiefiaʻi au, ʻE Sihova, ʻi hoʻo ngāue: te u vikiviki ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku mātuʻaki lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! pea ʻoku loloto ʻaupito hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangata anga fakamanu; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo eni ʻe he vale.
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7 ‌ʻOka tupu ʻae kau angahala ʻo hangē ko e mohuku, pea ʻoka moʻui lelei ʻae kau fai kovi kotoa pē; ko e meʻa ia ke fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu ʻo taʻengata:
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fungani māʻolunga ʻo taʻengata.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 Pea vakai, ko ho ngaahi fili, ʻE Sihova, ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻauha ho ngaahi fili; ʻe fakahēʻi ʻae kau fai kovi kotoa pē.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 Ka te ke hiki hake hoku nifo ʻo hangē ko e nifo ʻoe liimi: ʻe tākai ʻaki au ʻae lolo foʻou.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Pea ʻe mamata foki ʻa hoku mata ki hoku ngaahi fili, pea ʻe fanongo ʻa hoku telinga, ki he angahala ʻoku tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au.
And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 ‌ʻE lau maʻuiʻui ʻae angatonu ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ponga: ʻe tupu ia ʻo hangē ko e sita ʻi Lepanoni.
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
13 Ko kinautolu kuo tō ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova tenau lau maʻuiʻui ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
14 ‌ʻE kei tupu ʻae fua ʻiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau motuʻa; tenau sino lelei mo lau maʻuiʻui.
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
15 Ke fakahā ʻoku angatonu ʻa Sihova: ko hoku maka ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate ia.
To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
