Saame 19

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku fakahā ʻe he ʻatā ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima.

For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

2 ‌ʻOku lea ʻe he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, pea fakahā ʻe he pō ki he pō ʻae ʻilo.

Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.

3 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ha leʻo pe ha lea, ʻoku taʻeongoʻi honau leʻo.

There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.

4 Kuo hoko ʻenau fua ki he fonua kotoa pē, mo ʻenau ngaahi lea ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani. Kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae nofoʻanga ki he laʻā,

Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

5 ‌ʻAia ʻoku hangē ko e tangata taʻane ʻoku haʻu mei hono potu teuteu, pea fiefia ʻo hangē ko e tangata mālohi ke fakapuepue.

In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.

6 Ko hono hopoʻanga ʻoku mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe langi, mo hono ʻaluʻanga ki hono ngaahi ngataʻanga: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe lilo ʻi hono mafana.

His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.

7 Ko e fono ʻa Sihova ʻoku haohaoa, ʻoku ne liliu ʻae laumālie: ko e fakaʻilo ʻa Sihova ʻoku tuʻumaʻu, ʻoku ne fakapotoʻi ʻae vale.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

8 Ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sihova ʻoku totonu, ʻoku nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻae loto: ko e fekau ʻa Sihova ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ne fakamaama ki he mata.

The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.

9 Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ʻoku maʻa, pea tolonga taʻengata: ko e ngaahi fakamaau ʻa Sihova ʻoku moʻoni mo māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.

The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgements of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.

10 ‌ʻOku totonu ke lahi hake ʻae holi ki ai ʻi he holi ki he koula, ʻio, ʻi he koula lahi mo lelei: ʻoku huʻamelie lahi hake ia ʻi he honi mo hono toʻi ʻae honi.

To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

11 Pea kuo valokia ai foki ʻa ho tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻi he tauhi ki ai ʻoku lahi hono totongi.

For your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.

12 Ko hai te ne faʻa ʻilo ʻene ngaahi hē? Ke ke fakamaʻa au mei he ngaahi angahala fufū.

Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge you me from my secret [sins].

13 Pea ke taʻofi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki foki mei he ngaahi angahala ʻoku fai ʻi he ʻilo; ke ʻoua naʻa nau puleʻi au: ko ia te u angatonu ai, pea te u māʻoniʻoni mei he angahala lahi.

And spare your servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.

14 ‌ʻE Sihova, ko hoku mālohi, mo hoku huhuʻi, tuku ke lelei ʻi ho ʻao, ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu, mo e fakakaukau ʻa hoku loto.

So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.
