Saame 28
1To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
1TE U tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko hoku makatuʻu; ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi au: telia, ʻi hoʻo taʻeʻafioʻi au, te u hoko ʻo tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
2Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
2Ke ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu, ʻo kau ka tangi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka hiki hake hoku nima ki ho folofolaʻanga māʻoniʻoni.
3Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of evil, who speak peace with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.
3ʻOua naʻa ke toho au mo e kau angahala, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku lea mālie ki honau kaungāʻapi, ka ʻoku ʻi honau loto ʻae kovi.
4Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their deeds; give to them according to the work of their hands; render them their due reward.
4Te ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ʻenau ngāue, ʻo fakatatau ki he kovi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi faianga: ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa honau nima; ʻange kiate kinautolu honau ʻinanga.
5Because they do not regard the works of the LORD or the work of his hands, he will tear them down and build them up no more.
5Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, mo e ngāue ʻa hono nima, te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai langa hake ʻakinautolu.
6Blessed be the LORD! For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
6Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
7The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.
7Ko hoku mālohi mo hoku fakaū ʻa Sihova; naʻe falala kiate ia hoku loto, pea kuo tokoniʻi au: ko ia ʻoku fiefia lahi ai hoku loto; pea ʻi heʻeku hiva te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia.
8The LORD is the strength of his people; he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
8Ko e mālohi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu, pea ko e mālohi fakamoʻui ia ʻo ʻene pani.
9Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
9Ke ke fakamoʻui hoʻo kakai, mo tāpuaki ho tofiʻa: tauhi ʻakinautolu foki, pea hiki hake ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata.
