Saame 88:1-18
Ko ha saame. Ko e hiva ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo Kolá.+ Ki he pule hivá; fakatatau ki he Mahalatí,* ke hiva fetāliaki. Masikili* ʻa Hēmani+ ko e hako ʻo Salá.
88 ʻE Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ko hoku fakamoʻuí,+ʻI he ʻahó ʻoku ou tangi atu,Pea ʻi he poó ʻoku ou ʻalu atu ai ki ho ʻaó.+
2 Tuku muʻa ke aʻu atu ʻa ʻeku lotú kiate koe,+Fokotuʻu telinga* mai muʻa ki heʻeku tangi atu ki ha tokoní.+
3 He ko ʻeku moʻuí kuo fonu ʻi he mamahi,+Pea ko ʻeku moʻuí ʻoku ʻi he ngutuluo ʻo e Faʻitoká.*+
4 Kuo ʻosi lau au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luó;*+Kuó u hoko ko ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano tokoni,*+
5 Kuo liʻaki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau matéHangē ko e ʻangaʻanga ʻoku tokoto ʻi ha faʻitoká,ʻA ia ʻoku ʻikai ke ke toe manatu ki aiPea kuo fakamavaheʻi mei hoʻo tokangá.*
6 Kuó ke tuku au ʻi he luo māʻulalo tahá,ʻI he ngaahi feituʻu fakapoʻuli, ʻi ha fuʻu luo loloto.
7 Ko hoʻo houhaú ʻoku mamafa fau kiate au,+Pea ʻokú ke lōmekina au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau taá. (Sila)
8 Kuó ke tuli hoku ngaahi mahení ʻo mamaʻo meiate au;+Kuó ke ʻai au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu.
ʻOku ou fihia ʻo ʻikai lava ke u mavahe mei ai.
9 Ko hoku matá ʻoku vaivai koeʻuhi ko ʻeku faingataʻaʻiá.+
ʻOku ou ui kiate koe, ʻe Sihova, ʻi he ʻahó kotoa;+Ko koe ʻoku ou fola nima hake ki aí.
10 Te ke fakahoko ha ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ki he kau maté?
ʻE malava ke tuʻu hake ʻa e faʻahinga kuo mole honau mālohí ʻi he maté ʻo fakahīkihikiʻi koe?+ (Sila)
11 ʻE talaki ʻa hoʻo ʻofa mateakí ʻi he faʻitoká,ʻA hoʻo faitōnungá ʻi he feituʻu ʻo e ʻauhá?*
12 ʻE ʻilo ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakaofó ʻi he fakapoʻulíPe ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoní ʻi he fonua ʻo e faʻahinga kuo ngalo atú?+
13 Ka ʻoku ou kei tangi kiate koe ki ha tokoni, ʻe Sihova,+ʻI he pongipongi taki taha ʻoku ʻalu atu ki ho ʻaó ʻa ʻeku lotú.+
14 Ko e hā ʻokú ke siʻaki ai aú, ʻe Sihova?+
Ko e hā ʻokú ke fufū ai ho fofongá meiate aú?+
15 Talu mei heʻeku talavou,Kuo fakamamahiʻi au ʻo u meimei mate;+ʻOku ou mamate ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻokú ke tuku ke u tofanga aí.
16 Ko hoʻo houhau kakahá ʻokú ne lōmekina au;+Ko hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakamanavaheé ʻokú ne fakaʻauha au.
17 ʻOku nau takatakaiʻi au ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaí ʻi he ʻahó kotoa;ʻOku nau kāpui au mei he ngaahi tafaʻakí kotoa.*
18 Kuó ke tuli hoku ngaahi kaumeʻá mo hoku ngaahi takangá ʻo mamaʻo meiate au;+Kuo hoko ʻa e fakapoʻulí ko hoku takanga.
