Saame 16
1Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
1ʻE ʻOTUA, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
2I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
2ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe: ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”
3As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
3Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani, pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.
4The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
4ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu, pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.
5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
5Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.
6The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
6Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei; ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.
7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me.
7Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au: ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.
8I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
8Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure.
9Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo: ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.
10For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
10Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
11You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
11Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui: ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao; ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
