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.

YHWH reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

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

YHWH is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.

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

Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for 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.

The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou 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 ye YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his footstool; for 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 upon YHWH, 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 spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance 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.

Thou answeredst them, O YHWH our Elohim: thou wast an El that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

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

Exalt YHWH our Elohim, and worship at his holy hill; for YHWH our Elohim is holy.
