Saame 95
1 Haʻu, ketau hiva kia Sihova: ketau kalanga ʻi he fiefia ki he maka ʻo ʻetau moʻui.
Come! Let us ring out our joy to the Lord, let us merrily shout to our rock of salvation.
2 Ketau haʻu ki hono ʻao mo e fakafetaʻi, mo kalanga ʻi he fiefia kiate ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame.
Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.
3 He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua lahi, pea ko e Tuʻi lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
For the Lord is a great God, king above all gods.
4 ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻae ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻo māmani: ko e mālohi ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻoku ʻoʻona foki.
In his hand are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his.
5 ʻOku ʻoʻona ʻae tahi, he naʻa ne ngaohi ia: pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae fonua mōmoa.
The sea is his, for he made it: the dry land was formed by his hands.
6 Haʻu, ketau lotu mo punou: ketau tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau tupuʻanga.
Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to the Lord our creator.
7 He ko hotau ʻOtua ia; pea ko e kakai ʻakitautolu ʻo ʻene ngoue, mo e fanga sipi ʻa hono nima. Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo,
For he is our God; and we are the people he tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:
8 “ʻOua naʻa mou fakafefeka homou loto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he fakahouhau lahi, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻi he toafa:
‘Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, or at Massah, that day in the desert,
9 ʻAia naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea nau ʻahiʻahi kiate au, ʻonau mamata ki heʻeku ngāue.
when your ancestors tempted and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.
10 Naʻaku fehiʻa ki he toʻutangata ko ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻaku pehē, ‘Ko e kakai eni ʻoku hē ʻi honau loto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo hoku ngaahi hala:
‘For forty years I was filled with loathing for that generation, so I said: “A people with wandering hearts are they, and ignorant of my ways.”
11 Pea ne u fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻi hoku houhau, ‘ʻE ʻikai tenau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.’”
So I solemnly swore to them in my anger, that never would they enter my place of rest.’
