JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie. ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ke lahi ʻaupito; kuo kofuʻaki koe ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e māfimafi.
1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty.
2ʻOku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae maama ʻo hangē ko e kofu: ʻoku ke fofola atu ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e puipui:
2Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
3ʻOku ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi utupoto ʻo hono ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi vai: pea ko ʻene saliote ʻae ngaahi ʻao: pea ʻoku hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi:
3Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind;
4ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻene kau ʻāngelo ke hangē ko e matangi; mo ʻene kau faifekau ko e afi ʻoku ulo:
4Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers.
5Naʻa ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ia ʻo lauikuonga.
5Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever;
6ʻOku ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae loloto ʻo hangē ko e kofu: naʻe tuʻu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻo māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.
6Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.
7ʻI hoʻo valoki naʻa nau puna; ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo fatulisi naʻa nau hola ai.
7At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away —
8ʻOku nau ʻalu hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, pea nau ʻalu hifo ʻi he ngaahi vahaʻa moʻunga, ki he potu kuo ke teuteu ki ai.
8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down — unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them;
9Kuo ke ʻai hono ngataʻanga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu ia ʻi ai; koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe haʻu ia ke lōfia ʻa māmani.
9Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.
10ʻOku ne fekau atu ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻi he ngaahi luo, ʻaia ʻoku tafe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi foʻi moʻunga.
10Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains;
11ʻOku inu mei ai ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao: pea ʻoku inu ʻo fiu ai ʻae fanga ʻasi hehengi.
11They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.
12ʻOku maʻu ʻi ai ʻe he manupuna ʻoe ʻatā honau nofoʻanga, ʻoku nau hiva ʻi he ngaahi vaʻa.
12Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.
13ʻOku ne fakaviviku ʻae ngaahi foʻi moʻunga mei hono fale ʻafioʻanga: ʻoku mākona ʻae kelekele ʻi he fua ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.
13Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.
14ʻOku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae mohuku maʻae fanga manu, mo e ʻakau ke ʻaonga ki he tangata: koeʻuhi ke ne ʻomi ʻae meʻakai mei he kelekele;
14Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring forth bread out of the earth,
15Mo e uaine ʻaia ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto ʻoe tangata, mo e lolo ke fakangingila hono mata, mo e mā ke fakamālohi ʻae loto ʻoe tangata.
15And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart.
16ʻOku fonu ʻi he huhuʻa ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻo Sihova; ko e ngaahi sita ʻo Lepanoni, ʻaia kuo ne tō;
16The trees of the LORD have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted;
17ʻOku ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he fanga manupuna honau pununga: pea ko e sitoaka, ko hono fale ko e ngaahi ʻakau ko e paini.
17Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir-trees are her house.
18Ko e ngaahi foʻi moʻunga māʻolunga ko e hūfanga ia ʻoe fanga kosi hehengi; pea mo e ngaahi maka ki he fanga koni.
18The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae māhina ki he ngaahi faʻahitaʻu: ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe he laʻā hono tōʻanga.
19Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down.
20ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻae poʻuli, pea ko e pō ia: pea ʻoku totolo atu ʻi ai ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao.
20Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21ʻOku ngungulu ʻae fanga laione mui ke maʻu ʻenau meʻa, pea nau kumi ʻenau meʻakai mei he ʻOtua.
21The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22ʻOku hopo hake ʻae laʻā, pea ʻoku nau fakataha ai, ʻonau tokoto ʻi honau ngaahi ʻana.
22The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens.
23ʻOku ʻalu atu ʻae tangata ki heʻene ngāue, mo ʻene ngoue ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
23Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
24ʻE Sihova, hono ʻikai lahi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! Kuo ke ngaohi kotoa pē ia ʻi he poto: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hoʻo koloa.
24How manifold are Thy works, O LORD! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures.
25Pea ʻoku pehē ʻae tahi lahi ni mo laulahi, ʻa ia ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa totolo taʻefaʻalaua, ʻae fanga ika iiki mo e lalahi.
25Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great.
26ʻOku ʻalu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi vaka: ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae levaiatani ko ia, ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi ke ne fakavā ai.
26There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein.
27ʻOku tatali ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā totonu.
27All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season.
28Ko ia ʻoku ke foaki kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tānaki: ʻoku ke mafola ho nima, pea ʻoku pito ʻakinautolu ʻi he lelei.
28Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29ʻOku ke fufū ho fofonga, pea nau mamahi ai: ʻoku ke toʻo atu ʻenau mānava, pea nau mate, pea foki ki honau efu.
29Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, and return to their dust.
30ʻOku ke fekau atu ho Laumālie, pea ʻoku fakatupu ai ʻakinautolu: pea ʻoku ke fakafoʻou ʻae funga ʻo māmani.
30Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth.
31ʻE tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova: ʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue.
31May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in His works!
32ʻOku ʻafio ia ki māmani, pea tetetete ia: ʻoku ala ia ki he ngaahi foʻi moʻunga, pea ʻoku nau kohu ai.
32Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
33Te u hiva kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku kei moʻui: te u hiva fakamālō ki hoku ʻOtua ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34ʻE melie ʻa ʻeku fakakaukau kiate ia: te u fiefia ʻia Sihova.
34Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in the LORD.
35Tuku ke ʻosiʻosingamālie ʻae kakai angahala mei māmani, pea ʻoua naʻa kei toe ʻae kau angakovi. Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻa hoku laumālie. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
35Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Hallelujah.
