Saame 33
1Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.
1FIEFIA ʻia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku taau mo e angatonu ʻae fakafetaʻi.
2Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!
2Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae haʻape: hiva kiate ia ʻaki ʻae saliteli ʻoku filo ʻe hongofulu.
3Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.
3Hiva kiate ia ʻi he hiva foʻou; tā ke mālie mo leʻo lahi.
4For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.
4He ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu; pea ʻoku fai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he moʻoni.
5He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.
5ʻOku ʻofa ia ki he māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova.
6By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
6Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻae ngaahi langi; mo honau nāunau kotoa pē ʻe he mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
7He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.
7ʻOku ne tānaki fakataha ʻae vai ʻoe tahi ʻo hangē ko e tafungofunga: ʻoku ne faʻoaki ʻae moana ʻi he ngaahi feleoko.
8Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
8Ke manavahē ʻa māmani kotoa pē kia Sihova: ke maluʻia ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate ia.
9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
9He naʻe folofola ia, pea hoko leva; naʻa ne fekau, pea tuʻumaʻu ia.
10The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
10ʻOku ikuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae fakakaukau ʻae hiteni: ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai.
11The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.
11Ko e akonaki ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻengata, mo e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono finangalo ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
12ʻOku monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ko ia ʻoku ʻOtua ʻaki ʻa Sihova; pea mo e kakai kuo ne fili ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
13The LORD looks down from heaven; he sees all the children of man;
13ʻOku ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi; ʻoku ne vakai ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata.
14from where he sits enthroned he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
14Mei he potu ʻo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
15he who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds.
15ʻOku ne ngaohi honau loto kotoa pē; ʻoku ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngāue kotoa pē.
16The king is not saved by his great army; a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
16ʻOku ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻi he fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe kautau: pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaofaki ʻae tangata mālohi ʻe he mālohi lahi.
17The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue.
17Ko e meʻa vaʻinga ʻae hoosi ki he fakamoʻui: pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻi heʻene mālohi lahi.
18Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love,
18Vakai, ko e fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē lelei ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa;
19that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
19Ke fakahaofi honau laumālie mei he mate, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi he honge.
20Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
20ʻOku tatali hotau laumālie kia Sihova: ko hotau tokoni ia mo hotau fakaū.
21For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.
21Koeʻuhi ʻe fiefia hotau loto ʻiate ia, he ʻoku tau falala ki hono huafa māʻoniʻoni.
22Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be upon us, even as we hope in you.
22ʻE Sihova, ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate koe.
