Saame 52
1Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
1ʻAE tangata mālohi, ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai koe ʻi he fai pauʻu? ʻoku tolonga maʻuaipē ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
2ʻOku langaʻi ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi; ʻo ne fai kākā, ʻo hangē ko e tele māsila.
3You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking what is right.Selah
3ʻOku ke ʻofa lahi ki he kovi ʻi he lelei; pea ki he loi ʻi he lea māʻoniʻoni. Sila.
4You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
4ʻAe ʻelelo kākā, ʻoku ke manako ki he ngaahi lea fakaʻauha.
5But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.Selah
5Pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata, te ne toʻo ʻo ʻave koe, pea taʻaki koe mei ho nofoʻanga, ʻo taʻaki fuʻu hake koe mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui. Sila.
6The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
6ʻE mamata foki ki ai ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea manavahē, pea nau kata manuki kiate ia:
7“See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!”
7“Vakai, ko eni ʻae tangata naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻae mālohi mei he ʻOtua; ka naʻe falala ki he lahi ʻo ʻene koloa, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻi heʻene kovi.”
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.
8Ka ʻoku ou tatau mo e ʻolive laumaʻuiʻui ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
9I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.
9Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ia ʻe koe: pea te u tatali ki ho huafa; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai māʻoniʻoni.
