Saame 91

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)

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

1O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

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

2I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

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

3That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

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.

4He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

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

5Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

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

6Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

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.

7A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

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

8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

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

9For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

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

10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

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

11For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

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

12They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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

13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

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.

14'Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

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

15He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

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

16With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'
