1ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:
1A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;
2ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;
2How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;
3'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
4ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ʻae mohe ki hoku mata, pe ko e tulemohe ki hoku laumata,
4I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;
5Kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ha potu moʻo Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻo Sēkope.”
5Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
6Vakai, naʻa tau fanongo ki ai ʻi ʻEfalata: pea naʻa tau ʻilo ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻoe vao.
6Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.
7“Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”
7Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.
8Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ki ho mālōlōʻanga; ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo ho mālohi.
8Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
9Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.
10Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.
10For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
11Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he moʻoni kia Tevita; ʻe ʻikai te ne liliu mei ai; “Te u fokotuʻu ki ho nofoʻa ʻae fua ʻo ho sino.
11The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
12Kapau ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo fānau ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻaia te u ako kiate kinautolu, ʻe nofo foki ʻenau fānau ʻi ho nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga.”
12If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
13He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.
13For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
14“Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.
14'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
15Ko e moʻoni te u tāpuaki lahi hono meʻakai: te u fakamākona ʻa hono kau masiva ʻaki ʻae mā.
15I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.
16Te u fakakofu foki ʻene kau taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui: pea ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni tenau kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ʻi he fiefia.
16Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17Te u ngaohi ke moto ai ʻae nifo ʻo Tevita: kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae maama ʻa ʻeku pani.
17There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
18Te u fakakofuʻaki hono ngaahi fili ʻae mā: ka ʻe maʻuiʻui ʻa hono tatā ʻiate ia.”
18His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
