Saame 124

1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say—

1KAPAU naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻoku totonu ke lea ni ʻa ʻIsileli;

2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,

2“Kapau naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo kitautolu, ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kiate kitautolu:

3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

3Pehē, kuo nau folo hifo leva ʻakitautolu, ʻi he tupu ʻenau ʻita kiate kitautolu;

4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

4Pehē, kuo lōfia ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi vai, kuo tafe ʻae vaitafe ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie:

5then over us would have gone the raging waters.

5Pea ʻalu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe laukau ʻi he funga ʻo hotau laumālie.”

6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

6Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne tukuange ʻakitautolu ko e meʻakai ki honau nifo.

7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

7Kuo hao hotau laumālie ʻo hangē ko e manupuna mei he hele ʻae tangata tauhele: kuo maumauʻi ʻae tauhele, pea kuo tau hao ai.

8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

8Ko hotau tokoni ʻoku ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
