Saame 144

1 ʻOku fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa kiate ia pea ki he tangata. 5 ʻOku ne hū ke fakamoʻui ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei hono ngaahi fili. 9 ʻOku ne fakahā te ne fakamālō ki he ʻOtua. 11 ʻOku ne lotu ke hoko ʻae monūʻia ki he puleʻanga.

Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita.

1Ke monūʻia pē ʻa Sihova ko hoku makatuʻu,

ʻaia ʻoku ne ako ki hoku nima ketau,

mo hoku louhiʻi nima ke tau:

2Ko hoku leleiʻanga, mo ʻeku kolo:

mo hoku fale māʻolunga, mo hoku fakamoʻui;

ko hoku fakaū, pea ko ia ʻoku ou falala ki ai;

ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloaʻi hoku kakai kiate au.

3‌ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻae tangata, ʻoku ke tokanga ai kiate ia!

Pe ko e foha ʻoe tangata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ke finangalo kiate ia!

4‌ʻOku tatau ʻae tangata mo e meʻa vaʻinga:

ko hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoku hangē ko e ʻata ʻoku mole atu.

5Ofeʻi hifo, ʻE Sihova, ho ngaahi langi, pea ke hāʻele hifo:

ala ki he ngaahi moʻunga, pea tenau kohu ai.

6Lī atu ʻae ʻuhila, pea fakamovete ʻakinautolu:

fanaʻi atu hoʻo ngaahi ngahau, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.

7Fekau mai ho nima mei ʻolunga;

fakamoʻui au, mo fakahaofi au mei he ngaahi vai lahi,

mei he nima ʻoe fānau ʻae muli;

8‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe honau ngutu ʻae vaʻinga,

pea ko honau nima toʻomataʻu ko e nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe loi.

9‌ʻE ʻOtua, te u hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou kiate koe:

te u hiva fakamālō kiate koe ʻaki ʻae saliteli mo e meʻa faiva ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.

10Ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae fakamoʻui ki he ngaahi tuʻi:

ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻa Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki mei he heletā ʻoe kovi.

11Fakamoʻui au,

mo fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻoe fānau ʻae muli;

ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe honau ngutu ʻae vaʻinga,

pea ko honau nima toʻomataʻu ko e nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe loi:

12Koeʻuhi ke tatau homau ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻakau naʻe tupu ʻi heʻenau talavou;

ke tatau homau ngaahi ʻofefine mo e ngaahi maka ʻoe tuliki, kuo tā ʻo fakatatau mo e fale fakaʻeiʻeiki:

13Koeʻuhi ke pito ai homau ngaahi feleoko,

ʻoku ʻomi mei ai ʻae meʻakai kehekehe kotoa pē:

ke fānau ʻemau ngaahi fanga sipi ʻi he lauʻi afe mo e lauʻi mano ʻi homau ngaahi hala:

14Ke mālohi ai ʻemau fanga pulu tangata ke ngāue;

ke ʻoua naʻa ai ʻae ʻoho mai, pē ʻae hola kituaʻā;

ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha lāunga ʻi homau ngaahi hala.

15‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kakai ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku pehē:

ʻio, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae kakai ko ia, ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova.
