Saame 91

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

World English Bible

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

1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest 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, “He 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.

3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly 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 you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

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

5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

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

6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes 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 your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

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

8You will only look with your eyes, 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:

9Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

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

10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

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

11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

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

12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

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

13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

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 has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has 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 will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

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

16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”
