Saame 1

1 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae angakovi, pe tuʻu ʻi he hala ʻoe kau angahala, pe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe manuki.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

2 Ka ko ʻene fiefia ʻoku ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova; pea ko ʻene fono ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.

But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻakau kuo tō ki he veʻe vaitafe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi hono fua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu; pea ko hono lau foki ʻe ʻikai mae; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai ʻe monūʻia.

And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

4 ‌ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku tatau ia mo e kafukafu ʻaia ʻoku vilingia, ʻi he matangi.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ʻae angakovi ʻi he fakamaau, pe ko e angahala ʻi he fakataha ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e hala ʻoe angakovi ʻe ʻauha ia.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
