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 to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

2 Ke fakahā atu hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi, mo hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he pō kotoa pē,

to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

3 ‌ʻAki ʻae meʻa faiva ʻoku hongofulu hono filo, pea mo e saliteli; ʻaki ʻae leʻo mamafa ʻi he haʻape.

with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.

4 He kuo ke fakafiefiaʻi au, ʻE Sihova, ʻi hoʻo ngāue: te u vikiviki ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa ho nima.

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.

5 ‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoku mātuʻaki lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! pea ʻoku loloto ʻaupito hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau.

How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!

6 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangata anga fakamanu; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo eni ʻe he vale.

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

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:

that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

8 Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fungani māʻolunga ʻo taʻengata.

But you are exalted forever.

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 see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.

10 Ka te ke hiki hake hoku nifo ʻo hangē ko e nifo ʻoe liimi: ʻe tākai ʻaki au ʻae lolo foʻou.

But you lift me to honor, and anoint me afresh with 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.

My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

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 will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

13 Ko kinautolu kuo tō ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova tenau lau maʻuiʻui ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻo hotau ʻOtua.

In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.

14 ‌ʻE kei tupu ʻae fua ʻiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau motuʻa; tenau sino lelei mo lau maʻuiʻui.

They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be

15 Ke fakahā ʻoku angatonu ʻa Sihova: ko hoku maka ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate ia.

So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
