JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ki he tuʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tuʻi.
1A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2Te ne fakamaau hoʻo kakai ʻi he māʻoniʻoni, mo hoʻo kau masiva ʻaki ʻae fakamaau.
2That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
3ʻE ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae melino ki he kakai, mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ngaahi tafungofunga.
3Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
4ʻE fakamaau ʻe ia ʻae kakai mamahi, te ne fakamoʻui ʻae fānau ʻae masiva, pea te ne fesifesi ʻae fakamālohi.
4May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
5Te nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kei tuʻu ʻae laʻā, mo e māhina, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
5They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6ʻE ʻalu hifo ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha ki he mohuku kuo tutuʻu: ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha tuʻu mo tō ʻoku fakaviviku ʻae fonua.
6May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7ʻE tupu pē ʻae kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho; mo e melino lahi ʻaupito ʻi he kei tolonga ʻae māhina.
7In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
8ʻE pule ʻe ia foki mei he tahi ki he tahi, pea mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
8May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
9ʻE punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he toafa; pea ʻe ʻemo ʻae efu ʻe hono ngaahi fili.
9Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
10ʻE ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Tasisi pea mo e ngaahi motu: ʻe ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Sipa mo Sepa.
10The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11ʻIo, ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻae ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē: ʻE tauhi ia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
11Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
12He te ne fakamoʻui ʻae masiva ʻi heʻene tangi; ʻae mamahi foki, mo ia ʻoku ʻikai hano tokoni.
12For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13Te ne fakamoʻui ʻae vaivai mo e masiva, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻae laumālie ʻoe kau masiva.
13He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
14ʻE huhuʻi ʻe ia honau laumālie mei he kākā mo e fakamālohi: pea ʻe mahuʻinga honau toto ʻi hono ʻao.
14He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
15Pea ʻe moʻui pe ia, pea ʻe foaki kiate ia ʻae koula ʻo Sipa: ʻE fai maʻuaipē ʻae lotu koeʻuhi ko ia; pea ʻe fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē,
15That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
16Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae falukunga ʻoe uite ʻi he fonua ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, ʻe ngaueue hono fua ʻo ia ʻo hangē ko Lepanoni: pea ko kinautolu ʻi he kolo ʻe tupu pe ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻoe fonua.
16May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
17ʻE tuʻumaʻu hono huafa ʻo taʻengata, ʻe tolonga maʻuaipē hono huafa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā: pea ʻe monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻiate ia: ʻe ui ia ko e monūʻia ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
17May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
18Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia tokotaha pe ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.
18Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
19Pea fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki hono huafa ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata: pea tuku ke pito ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono nāunau; ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
19And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20Kuo ngata ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese.
20The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
