Saame 40

1I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.
1NAʻA KU tatali faʻa kātaki pe kia Sihova; pea ne tokanga kiate au, ʻone ongoʻi ʻeku tangi.
2He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
2Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he luo fakailifia, mei he ʻumea pelepela, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ki he maka, ʻo fakamaʻu hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
3He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD.
3Pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae hiva foʻou ki hoku ngutu, ʻio, ʻae fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua: ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae tokolahi, pea manavahē, pea tenau falala kia Sihova.
4Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
4‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai tokanga ia ki he kakai laukau, mo kinautolu ʻoku afe ki he loi.
5You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.
5‌ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻaia kuo ke fai, mo ho finangalo lelei kiate kimautolu: ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau fakaholo ia kiate koe: kapau te u fie fakahā ʻo lea ki ai, ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻe ʻikai faʻa laua.
6In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
6Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai; ka ko hoku telinga kuo ke fakaava: ko e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala naʻe ʻikai te ke fekau.
7Then I said, “Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
7Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu: kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au,
8I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
8‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fiefia ke fai ho finangalo: ʻio, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto hoʻo fono.”
9I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD.
9Naʻaku malangaʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakataha lahi: vakai, naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi hoku loungutu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi.
10I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.
10Naʻe ʻikai te u fakafufū hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku loto; naʻaku fakahā hoʻo angatonu mo hoʻo fakamoʻui: naʻe ʻikai te u fakalilolilo ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni mei he fakataha lahi.
11As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!
11‌ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻiate au: tuku ke tauhi maʻuaipē au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni.
12For evils have encompassed me beyond number; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head; my heart fails me.
12He kuo kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi kovi taʻefaʻalaua: kuo puke au ʻe heʻeku ngaahi hia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa hanga hake; ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko ia kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku loto.
13Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!
13‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke finangalo lelei ke fakamoʻui au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoniʻi au.
14Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
14Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia; tuku ke fakafoki kimui mo mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau holi ke u kovi.
15Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!”
15Tuku ke paea ʻakinautolu ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē kiate au, “Ha ha.”
16But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, “Great is the LORD!”
16Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe: tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻa Sihova.”
17As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!
17Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea; ka ʻoku finangalo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au: ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai, ʻE hoku ʻOtua.
