Psalms 81
1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Kitita, ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. Hiva kalanga ki he ʻOtua ko hotau mālohi, kalanga fakafiefia ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
2 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
Toʻo mai ʻae saame, pea ʻomi ʻae kihiʻi lali, mo e haʻape mālie mo e saliteli.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
Ifi mālohi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi he māhina foʻou, ʻi he ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi hotau ʻaho kātoanga mamalu.
4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
He ko e fekau eni ki ʻIsileli, mo e fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
5 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni eni ʻia Siosefa ko e fakamoʻoni, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ai ki he lea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
6 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
“Naʻaku hiki ʻae kavenga mei hono uma: naʻe hao hono nima mei he ngaahi kato.
7 You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
Naʻa ke ui ʻi he mamahi, pea ne u fakamoʻui koe: naʻaku talia koe ʻi he potu lilo ʻoe mana: ne u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa. (Sila)
8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
Fanongo, ʻE hoku kakai, pea te u fakapapau kiate koe: ʻE ʻIsileli, kapau te ke tokanga mai kiate au;
9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
ʻOua naʻa fokotuʻu ha ʻotua foʻou kiate koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hū ki ha ʻotua foʻou.
10 For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: fakamanga ho ngutu ke lahi, pea te u fakafonu ia.
11 But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
“Ka naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ʻa hoku kakai ki hoku leʻo; pea naʻe ʻikai manako ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au.
12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
Ko ia ne u fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ki he holi kovi ʻa honau loto: pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tokanga ʻa hoku kakai kiate au, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala!
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
Pehē, kuo u fakavaivaiʻi leva honau ngaahi fili, ʻo mafao atu hoku nima ki honau kau fakamamahi.
15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
Pea ko e kau fehiʻa kia Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate ia: ka ʻe tolonga ʻo taʻengata honau ngaahi ʻaho.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
Kuo ne fafanga foki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae uite mātuʻaki lelei: pea u fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae hone mei he maka.”
