Saame 99

1 ‌ʻOku pule ʻa Sihova; tuku ke tetetete ʻae kakai: ʻoku ʻafio ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupi; tuku ke ngalulu ʻa māmani.

Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.

2 ‌ʻOku lahi ʻa Sihova ʻi Saione; pea ʻoku māʻolunga lahi ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.

Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.

3 Tuku kenau fakamālō ki ho huafa lahi mo fakailifia; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia.

They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —

4 ‌ʻOku ʻofa foki ʻae mālohi ʻoe tuʻi ki he fakamaau; ʻoku ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae fai totonu, ʻoku ke fai ʻae fakamaau mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻia Sēkope.

And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Mou fakahikihiki ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Ko Mōsese mo ʻElone ʻi heʻene kau taulaʻeiki, pea mo Samuela ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ui ki hono huafa; naʻa nau ui kia Sihova, pea ne talia ʻakinautolu.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.

7 Naʻa ne folofola kiate kinautolu ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao: naʻa nau tauhi ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo e tuʻutuʻuni naʻa ne fokotuʻu kiate kinautolu.

He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.

8 ‌ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, naʻa ke talia ʻakinautolu: ko koe ko e ʻOtua naʻa ke fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu, neongo hoʻo totongi koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau.

Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

9 Fakahikihiki ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, pea lotu ʻi hono moʻunga tapu; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua.

Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
