1ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko homau hūfanga ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
1The praise of a canticle for David. He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
2ʻI he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea teʻeki ai te ke ngaohi ʻae fonua mo māmani, ʻio, talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata, ko koe pe ko e ʻOtua.
2He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
3ʻOku ke liliu ʻae tangata ke ʻauha; pea ke pehē, “Tafoki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻae tangata.”
3For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
4He ʻoku tatau ʻi ho ʻao ʻae taʻu ʻe afe mo e ʻaneafi ʻi hono hili ange ia, pea mo e leʻo ʻi he pō.
4He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust.
5ʻOku ke ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻave ʻe he vaitafe; ʻoku nau hangē ko e mohe: ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku nau tatau mo e mohuku ʻoku tupu hake.
5His truth shall compass thee with a shield: thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
6ʻI he pongipongi ʻoku lau maʻuiʻui ia, pea tupu hake: ʻi he efiafi ʻoku tuʻusi hifo ia, pea mae.
6Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
7He ʻoku mau ʻauha ʻi ho houhau, pea ʻoku mau mamahi ʻi ho tuputāmaki.
7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
8Kuo ke tuku ʻemau ngaahi hia ʻi ho ʻao, pea mo ʻemau ngaahi angahala fufū ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
8But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
9He ʻoku ʻosi atu homau ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi ho houhau: ʻoku mau fakaʻosi homau ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē ko e talanoa ʻoku lau.
9Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
10Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo homau taʻu ko e taʻu ʻe fitungofulu; pea kapau ʻe hoko ia ʻi hono mālohi ke valungofulu, ko hono mālohi ko e ngāue mo e mamahi; he ʻoku tuʻusi vave ia, pea ʻoku mau puna atu.
10There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
11Ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae mālohi ʻo ho houhau? ʻO hangē ko ho manavahēʻia, ʻoku pehē ho houhau.
11For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
12Ke pehē hoʻo akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke mau lau homau ngaahi ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke mau fakatokangaʻi homau loto ki he poto.
12In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13Tafoki, ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Pea ke lolou koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.
13Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
14Ke ke fakamākona vave ʻakimautolu ʻaki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; koeʻuhi ke mau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi homau ʻaho fulipē.
14Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
15Ke ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho ne ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimautolu, pea mo e ngaahi taʻu kuo mau mamata ai ki he kovi.
15He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
16Pea ke tuku ke hā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea mo ho nāunau ki heʻenau fānau.
16I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
17Pea ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻae lelei ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: pea ke fokotuʻu ke maʻu ʻae ngāue ʻa homau nima kiate kimautolu; ʻio, ko e ngāue ʻa homau nima ke fakamaau ia.
