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.

The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

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

The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples.

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

Let them praise your great and awesome name. He 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 loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

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

Exalt the LORD our God. 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 were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, 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 to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, 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.

You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

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

Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
