Saame 85

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻE Sihova, kuo ke finangalo lelei ki ho fonua: kuo ke toe ʻomi ʻa Sēkope mei he pōpula.

2 Kuo ke fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻa hoʻo kakai, kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau angahala kotoa pē. (Sila)

3 Kuo ke toʻo ʻo ʻave ho houhau kotoa pē: kuo ke fakatafoki koe mei he kakaha ʻo ho houhau.

4 Fakatafoki ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau moʻui, pea ke fakangata ho houhau kiate kimautolu.

5 Te ke houhau kiate kimautolu ke taʻengata? Te ke toloi atu ho houhau ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē?

6 ‌ʻIkai te ke toe fakaakeake ʻakimautolu: koeʻuhi ke fiefia hoʻo kakai ʻiate koe?

7 Fakahā kiate kimautolu hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, mo ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo fakamoʻui.

8 Te u fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua ko Sihova: he te ne folofolaʻaki ʻae melino ki hono kakai, pea ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni: kaeʻoua naʻa nau toe tafoki ki he kovi.

9 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ofi ʻene fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke nofo ʻae monūʻia ʻi hotau fonua.

10 Kuo fakafetaulaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni; ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e melino kuo na toutou fekita.

11 ‌ʻE tupu hake ʻae moʻoni mei he kelekele; pea ʻe sio hifo ʻae māʻoniʻoni mei he langi.

12 ‌ʻIo, ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe tuku mai hono fua ʻe hotau fonua.

13 ‌ʻE muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hotau vaʻe ʻi hono hala.
