Saame 132

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu kia Tevita, mo ʻene mamahi kotoa pē:

A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:

2 ‌ʻA ʻene fuakava kia Sihova, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻa Sēkope;

how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],

3 “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ki hoku fale nofoʻanga, pe ʻalu hake ki hoku mohenga;

I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;

4 ‌ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ʻae mohe ki hoku mata, pe ko e tulemohe ki hoku laumata,

I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,

5 Kaeʻoua ke u ʻilo ha potu moʻo Sihova, ko e ʻafioʻanga ki he ʻOtua mālohi ʻo Sēkope.”

until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

6 Vakai, naʻa tau fanongo ki ai ʻi ʻEfalata: pea naʻa tau ʻilo ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ʻoe vao.

Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.

7 “Te tau hū ki hono ngaahi fale fehikitaki: te tau lotu ʻi hono tuʻunga vaʻe.”

Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.

8 Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ki ho mālōlōʻanga; ʻa koe, mo e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo ho mālohi.

Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.

9 Ke kofuʻaki ʻe hoʻo kau taulaʻeiki ʻae angatonu; pea ke kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni.

Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.

10 Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻoua naʻa ke fakatafoki ʻae mata ʻo hoʻo pani.

For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.

11 Kuo fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻi he moʻoni kia Tevita; ʻe ʻikai te ne liliu mei ai; “Te u fokotuʻu ki ho nofoʻa ʻae fua ʻo ho sino.

The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.

12 Kapau ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo fānau ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻaia te u ako kiate kinautolu, ʻe nofo foki ʻenau fānau ʻi ho nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo lauikuonga.”

If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.

13 He kuo fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione; kuo ne finangalo ki ai ko hono ʻafioʻanga.

For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],

14 “Ko hoku mālōlōʻanga eni ʻo taʻengata: te u nofo ʻi heni; he naʻaku finangalo ki ai.

This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.

15 Ko e moʻoni te u tāpuaki lahi hono meʻakai: te u fakamākona ʻa hono kau masiva ʻaki ʻae mā.

I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

16 Te u fakakofu foki ʻene kau taulaʻeiki ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui: pea ko ʻene kau māʻoniʻoni tenau kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ʻi he fiefia.

I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.

17 Te u ngaohi ke moto ai ʻae nifo ʻo Tevita: kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae maama ʻa ʻeku pani.

There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.

18 Te u fakakofuʻaki hono ngaahi fili ʻae mā: ka ʻe maʻuiʻui ʻa hono tatā ʻiate ia.”

His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
