< Saame 65 >

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame mo e Hiva ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku tatali ʻae fakamālō kiate koe ʻi Saione: pea ʻe fai kiate koe ʻae fuakava.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm and Song of David. Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion: and to thee shall the vow be performed.
2 ‌ʻA koe ʻoku ke ongoʻi ʻae lotu, ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
O thou that hearest prayer, to thee shall all flesh come.
3 ‌ʻOku mālohi kiate au ʻae ngaahi hia: pea ko ʻemau ngaahi talangataʻa te ke fakamaʻa ia ke ʻosi.
Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 ‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ke fili, mo ke fakaofi ia kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ne nofo ʻi ho lotoʻā: temau fiemālie ʻi he lelei ʻo ho fale, ʻio, ʻo ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni.
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach to thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 ‌ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakamoʻui, te ke talia ʻakimautolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻi he māʻoniʻoni; ʻa koe ko e ʻamanaki leleiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku mamaʻo atu ʻi he tahi:
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hono mālohi; kuo nonoʻo ʻaki ʻae māfimafi:
Who by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 ‌ʻAia ʻoku ne lolomi ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi tahi, ko e longoaʻa ʻoe ngaahi peau, mo e maveuveu ʻoe kakai.
Who stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 Pea ʻoku manavahē ʻi ho ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu mamaʻo: ʻoku ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe pongipongi mo e efiafi.
They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy signs: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 ‌ʻOku ke ʻaʻahi ki he fonua, ʻo fakaviviku ia: ʻoku ke fakakoloa lahi ʻaki ia ʻae vaitafe ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku pito ʻi he vai: ʻoku ke teuʻi ʻenau meʻakai, hili hoʻo tokonaki pehē ki ai.
Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them grain, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 ‌ʻOku ke fakaviviku lahi hono tafungofunga ʻo ia: ʻoku ke pule ke tō ʻae ʻuha ki hono ngaahi keli: ʻoku ke fakamolū ʻaki ia ʻae ʻuha tuʻu mo tō: ʻoku ke tāpuaki hono tupu ʻo ia.
Thou waterest the ridges of it abundantly: thou settlest its furrows: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest its growth.
11 ‌ʻOku ke tatā ʻaki ʻae taʻu ʻa hoʻo angalelei; pea ʻoku ngangana mei ho ngaahi hala ʻae momona.
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 ‌ʻOku ngangana ia ki he ngaahi potu mohuku ʻoe toafa: pea fiefia ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 Kuo fakakofuʻaki ʻae fanga sipi ʻae ngaahi potu mohuku; pea kuo ʻufiʻufi foki ʻae ngaahi luo ʻaki ʻae uite; ʻoku nau kalanga ʻi he fiefia, ʻoku nau hiva foki.
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with grain; they shout for joy, they also sing.
