Saame 18

1I love you, O LORD, my strength.
1TE U ʻofa kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ko ʻeku mālohi.
2The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
2Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku mālohi, ʻaia te u falala ki ai; ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, mo hoku hūfanga māʻolunga.
3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
3Te u ui kia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ngali mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi: ko ia te u moʻui ai mei hoku ngaahi fili.
4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me;
4Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate. pea naʻe fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he lōmaki mai ʻoe kau tangata angakovi.
5the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
5Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻo hētesi: naʻe talia au ʻe he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
6‌ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻeku tangi ki hono ʻao, ʻio, ki hono fofonga.
7Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked, because he was angry.
7Naʻe ngalulu ai ʻa māmani ʻo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu foki ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
8Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him.
8Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu ʻi hono houhau, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu: naʻe tutuʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
9He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet.
9Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi, ʻo hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
10He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
10Naʻe heka ia ki he selupi, pea hāʻele ia: ʻio, naʻe hāʻele ia ʻi he ngaahi kapakau ʻoe matangi.
11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water.
11Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae poʻuli ko hono fakalilolilo: ko hono ʻafioʻanga naʻe kāpui ia ʻe he vai fakapoʻuli mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
12Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
12‌ʻI he ulo mei hono ʻao naʻe mole atu ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻao matolu, ʻae ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.
13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
13Naʻe mana foki ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi langi, pea fakahā hono leʻo ʻe he Fungani Māʻolunga; ko e ʻuha maka mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi.
14And he sent out his arrows and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
14‌ʻIo, naʻa ne fana atu ʻene ngaahi ngahau, pea veteki ʻakinautolu; pea ne fana ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila, ʻo veuveuki ʻakinautolu.
15Then the channels of the sea were seen, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
15Naʻe toki hā ai ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga ʻoe vai, pea fakahā ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani ʻi ho houhau, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he matangi ʻoe mānava ʻo ho houhau.
16He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.
16Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, naʻa ne toʻo au, naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he ngaahi vai lahi.
17He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
17Naʻa ne fakahaofi au mei hoku fili
18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
18Naʻa nau fakatangaʻi au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki: ka ko hoku tokoni ʻa Sihova.
19He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.
19Naʻa ne ʻomi au ki he potu ʻataʻatā lahi; naʻa ne fakahaofi au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.
20The LORD dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
20Naʻe totongi ʻe Sihova kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima kuo ne totongi kiate au.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21He naʻaku tauhi ʻae ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.
22For all his rules were before me, and his statutes I did not put away from me.
22He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fakamaau kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻene ngaahi fekau ʻiate au.
23I was blameless before him, and I kept myself from my guilt.
23Pea naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia.
24So the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
24Ko ia kuo totongi ai au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea fakatatau ki he maʻa ʻa hoku nima ʻi hono ʻao.
25With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
25‌ʻI he kakai loto ʻofa te ke fakahā koe ko e ʻaloʻofa; ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu;
26with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
26Ki he māʻoniʻoni te ke fakahā koe ʻae māʻoniʻoni; pea ki he tangata angatuʻu temo fekuki mo ia.
27For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.
27He ko koe te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai mamahi: ka te ke ʻohifo ki lalo ʻae mata fielahi.
28For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.
28Pea te ke tutu ʻeku maama: ʻo huluʻaki ʻeku fakapoʻuli ʻe Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.
29For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall.
29He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe naʻaku halaua ʻae tau ʻo hao; pea ʻi hoku ʻOtua ne u puna kituʻa ʻi he ʻā maka.
30This God—his way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.
30Pea ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala: ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e fakaū ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
31For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?—
31He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pē? Pe ko hai ʻae makatuʻu ka ko hotau ʻOtua pē?
32the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless.
32Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi, ʻo fakahaohaoa hoku ʻaluʻanga.
33He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.
33‌ʻOku ne ngaohi hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe hainiti, ʻo ne fokotuʻu au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
34He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
34‌ʻOku ne akonakiʻi hoku nima ke tau, ko ia ʻoku fesiʻi ai ʻe hoku nima ʻae kaufana ukamea.
35You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand supported me, and your gentleness made me great.
35Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fakaū ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea kuo poupou hake au ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo angamalū kuo ke hakeakiʻi au.
36You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip.
36Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā hoku ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai hoku vaʻe.
37I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed.
37Naʻaku tuli hoku ngaahi fili ʻo maʻu ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe foki kaeʻoua ke ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
38I thrust them through, so that they were not able to rise; they fell under my feet.
38Kuo nau makafokafo ʻiate au, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai tenau faʻa tuʻu hake: kuo nau tō ki hoku lalo vaʻe.
39For you equipped me with strength for the battle; you made those who rise against me sink under me.
39He naʻa ke nonoʻo ʻaki au ʻae mālohi ki he tau: kuo ke fakavaivai ki lalo ʻiate au ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au.
40You made my enemies turn their backs to me, and those who hated me I destroyed.
40Pea kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili; koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
41They cried for help, but there was none to save; they cried to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
41Naʻa nau tangi, ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke fakamoʻui: ʻio, kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia ʻakinautolu.
42I beat them fine as dust before the wind; I cast them out like the mire of the streets.
42Pea ne u toki tali ʻakinautolu ʻo momosi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi: naʻaku lī ʻakinautolu kituʻa ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻi he ngaahi hala.
43You delivered me from strife with the people; you made me the head of the nations; people whom I had not known served me.
43Kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he ngaahi fekeʻikeʻi ʻoe kakai; pea kuo ke ngaohi au ko e ʻulu ki he hiteni: ko e kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi te nau tauhi au.
44As soon as they heard of me they obeyed me; foreigners came cringing to me.
44‌ʻOka nau ka fanongo kiate au, te nau talangofua leva kiate au: ko e kau muli te nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate au.
45Foreigners lost heart and came trembling out of their fortresses.
45‌ʻE fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi muli, pea te nau manavahē mei honau ngaahi potu lilo.
46The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation—
46‌ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea fakafetaʻi ki hoku makatuʻu; pea tuku ke hakeakiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
47the God who gave me vengeance and subdued peoples under me,
47Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku langomia au, ʻo ne fakavaivai ʻae kakai kiate au.
48who delivered me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you rescued me from the man of violence.
48‌ʻOku ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻio, ʻoku ke hiki au ke u māʻolunga ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata angamālohi.
49For this I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations, and sing to your name.
49Ko ia te u fakafetaʻi ai kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.
50Great salvation he brings to his king, and shows steadfast love to his anointed, to David and his offspring forever.
50‌ʻOku ne tuku ʻae fakamoʻui lahi ki heʻene tuʻi; ʻo ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani ʻaki ʻae lolo, kia Tevita, mo hono hako ʻo taʻengata.
