< Psalms 34 >

1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.
Ko e Saame ʻa Tevita, ʻi heʻene liliu ʻene tōʻonga ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻApimeleki; ʻaia naʻa ne kapusi ia, pea ʻalu ia ʻo hao. Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē: ʻe tuʻumaʻu pe ʻene fakafetaʻi ʻi hoku ngutu.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [of it] and be glad.
‌ʻE vikiviki hoku laumālie ʻia Sihova: ʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai angavaivai, pea fiefia ai.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Ketau fai mo au ke hapai hake ʻa Sihova, pea ketau fakaongoongolelei fakataha hono huafa.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Naʻaku kumi kia Sihova, pea ne ongoʻi au, ʻo ne fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku manavahē kotoa pē.
5 They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
Naʻa nau vakai kiate ia, pea māmangia ai: pea naʻe ʻikai mā ai honau mata.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
Naʻe tangi ʻae tangata masiva ni, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene mamahi kotoa pē.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.
‌ʻOku nofo ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova ʻo takatakai ʻakinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
Mou kamata ʻo vakai ʻoku lelei ʻa Sihova: ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kiate ia.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.
Ke manavahē kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni: he ʻoku ʻikai ha masiva kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
‌ʻOku masiva ʻae fanga laione mui, mo fiekaia: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku kumi kia Sihova ʻe ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi ha meʻa lelei ʻe taha.
11 Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Haʻu, ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau, ʻo fanongo kiate au: te u ako kiate kimoutolu ʻae manavahē kia Sihova.
12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
Ko hai ha tangata ʻoku holi ke moʻui, ʻo manako ki he ngaahi ʻaho lahi, koeʻuhi ke ne mamata ai ki he lelei?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Taʻofi ho ʻelelo mei he kovi, mo ho loungutu mei he lea kākā.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Afe mei he kovi, mo ke fai lelei; kumi ki he melino, pea tuli ki ai.
15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their cry.
‌ʻOku ʻafio maʻu ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ki he kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe hono telinga ʻenau tangi.
16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
‌ʻOku houhau ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi, ke motuhi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
‌ʻOku tangi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ongoʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei heʻenau ngaahi mamahi kotoa pē.
18 The LORD [is] nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
‌ʻOku ofi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto mafesi; ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku laumālie mafōfoa.
19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
‌ʻOku lahi ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ʻoku fakamoʻui ia mei ai kotoa pē ʻe Sihova.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
‌ʻOku ne tauhi hono ngaahi hui kotoa pē: ʻe ʻikai mafesi ha taha.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
‌ʻE fakapoongi ʻe he kovi ʻae kau angahala: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa ki he kau māʻoniʻoni te nau malaʻia.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
‌ʻOku huhuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe ʻikai malaʻia ha tokotaha ʻokinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
