Saame 91

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)

1Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu lilo ʻi he fungani māʻolunga, ʻe nofomaʻu ia he malumalu ʻoe Māfimafi.

1A psalm of a canticle on the sabbath day.

2Te u pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko hoku hūfanga ia mo ʻeku kolo: ko hoku ʻOtua te u falala kiate ia.”

2It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.

3Ko e moʻoni te ne fakamoʻui koe mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele, pea mei he mahaki fakaʻauha.

3To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

4Te ne ʻōʻōfaki koe ʻaki hono fulufulu, pea te ke falala ki hono lalo kapakau: ko ʻene moʻoni ko ho fakaū mo ho pā ia.

4Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

5‌ʻE ʻikai te ke manavahē koeʻuhi ko e meʻa fakailifia ʻi he pō; pe koeʻuhi ko e ngahau ʻoku puna atu ʻi he ʻaho;

5For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

6Pe koeʻuhi ko e mahaki lahi ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli; pe koeʻuhi ko e fakaʻauha ʻoku fakaʻosiʻosi ʻi he hoʻatā.

6O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

7‌ʻE tō ʻae toko afe ʻi ho tafaʻaki, pea ko e toko mano ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ʻo ofi kiate koe.

7The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

8Ka te ke vakai ʻo mamata ʻaki ho mata ki he totongi ʻoe angahala.

8When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

9Koeʻuhi kuo ke fili ʻa Sihova ʻaia ko hoku hūfanga, ʻio, ko e fungani māʻolunga ko ho nofoʻanga:

9But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

10‌ʻE ʻikai tō ha kovi kiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hoko ha mamahi fakaʻauha ke ofi ki ho nofoʻanga.

10For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

11He te ne fekau ʻene kau ʻāngelo kenau vakai koe, ke tauhi koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala kotoa pē.

11But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

12Tenau hapai hake koe ʻi he nima, telia naʻa tūkia ho vaʻe ki ha maka.

12My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

13Te ke molomoloki ʻae laione mo e ngata: ko e laione mui mo e talākoni te ke malaki hifo ia.

13The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

14“Koeʻuhi kuo ne tuku ʻene ʻofa kiate au, ko ia te u fakamoʻui ia: te u fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, koeʻuhi kuo ne ʻiloʻi hoku huafa.

14They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

15Te ne ui kiate au, pea te u talia ia: te u ʻiate ia ʻi he mamahi; te u fakamoʻui ia, pea hakeakiʻi ia.

15They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

16Te u fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ia ʻae moʻui fuoloa, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻeku fakamoʻui.”

16That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
