Saame 140

1 ʻOku lotu ʻa Tevita ke ne hao meia Saula mo Toeki, 8 Pea ke fakahoko ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae totongi ki ai. 12 ʻOku ne fakafiemālieʻi hono loto ʻi heʻene tui ki he ʻOtua.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1‌ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angakovi:

fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi;

2‌ʻAia ʻoku mahalo kovi ʻi honau loto;

ʻoku nau fakataha maʻuaipē ke tau.

3Kuo nau fakamāsila honau ʻelelo ʻo hangē ko e ngata;

ʻoku ʻai ʻae kona ʻoe ngata ʻi honau lalo loungutu. Sila.

4Fakahaofi au, ʻE Sihova, mei he nima ʻoe angahala;

fakamoʻui au mei he tangata fakamālohi,

ʻaia kuo ne fakakaukau ke tulaki hifo hoku vaʻe.

5Kuo tau fufū ʻe he laukau ʻae tauhele kiate au, mo e ngaahi afo;

kuo nau ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga ʻi he veʻe hala;

kuo nau teuteu ʻae ngaahi hele kiate au. Sila.

6Naʻaku pehē kia Sihova, “Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua:”

ʻE Sihova, ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu.

7‌ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku fakamoʻui,

kuo ke maluʻi hoku ʻulu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau.

8‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke fai ki he ngaahi holi ʻae angahala:

ʻoua naʻa ke tokoni ʻene fakakaukau kovi, telia naʻa nau hiki hake ʻakinautolu. Sila.

9Ka ko e ʻulu ʻokinautolu ʻoku nau kāpui au,

tuku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae kovi ʻo honau loungutu.

10Ke tō kiate kinautolu ʻae malalaʻi afi ʻoku vela: tuku ke lī ʻakinautolu ki he afi;

ki he ngaahi luo tau mamaʻo, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau toetuʻu hake.

11‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ha tangata lea kovi ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi māmani:

ʻe tuli ʻe he kovi ʻae tangata fakamālohi ke tulaki ia.

12‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ʻae mamahi,

mo e ʻinasi totonu ʻoe masiva.

13Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ki ho huafa:

ʻe nofo ʻae angatonu ʻi ho ʻao.
