Saame 121

1 Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. Te u hanga hake hoku mata ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai hoku tokoni.

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 ‌ʻOku haʻu hoku tokoni meia Sihova, ʻaia ne ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 ‌ʻE ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke hiki ho vaʻe: ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi koe ʻe ʻikai tulemohe ia.

Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

4 Vakai, ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe ʻikai te ne tulemohe pe mohe.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 Ko Sihova ko ho tauhi: ko Sihova ko ho fakamalu ia ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu.

The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

6 ‌ʻE ʻikai taaʻi koe ʻe he laʻā ʻi he ʻaho, pe ʻe he māhina ʻi he pō.

The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

7 ‌ʻE fakahaofi koe ʻe Sihova mei he kovi kotoa pē: te ne fakamoʻui ho laumālie.

May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

8 ‌ʻE tauhi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ʻalu kituʻa mo hoʻo liu mai mei he ʻaho ni, pea taʻengata.

The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
