2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe hiva ni ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamoʻui ai ia ʻe Sihova mei he nima ʻo hono fili kotoa pē, pea mei he nima ʻo Saula: ʻo ne pehē,
2 And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui;
3 God is my rock, in him will I trust — My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoku mālohi; ko ia te u falala ki ai: ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ko hoku fale māʻolunga, mo hoku hūfanga, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoku ke fakahaofi au mei he fakamālohiʻi.
4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Te u ui kia Sihova ʻaia ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi: pea ʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili.
5 For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.
ʻI heʻene kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, naʻe fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he lōmaki mai ʻae kau tangata angakovi;
Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe faʻitoka; naʻe talia au ʻe he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.
ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne fanongo ki hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻeku tangi ki hono fofonga.
8 Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.
Naʻe toki ngalulu ai ʻa māmani mo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe langi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it.
Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei hono fofonga, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu; naʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
10 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet.
Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo ne hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Pea naʻa ne heka ki he selupi, pea puna; pea naʻe hā mai ia ʻi he kapakau ʻoe matangi.
12 And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fakapoʻuli ko e fale ke tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, ko e ngaahi vai fakapoʻuli, mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
13 From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he uloulo ʻi hono ʻao naʻe tutu ai ʻae fefie ʻoe afi.
14 Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice.
Naʻe mana ʻa Sihova mei he langi, pea naʻe fakaongo atu ʻe he Toko Taha Māʻolunga ʻa hono leʻo.
15 And he sent arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; Lightning, and discomfited them.
Pea naʻa ne fanaʻi atu ʻae ngaahi ngahau, mo fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ko e ʻuhila ke veuveuki kinautolu.
16 And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Pea naʻe ha hake ʻae tokaʻanga ʻoe tahi, naʻe fakahāhā mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani, ʻi he valokia mai ʻa Sihova, mo e ʻuʻulu mai ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
17 He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;
Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, ʻo ne puke au; naʻa ne toʻo atu au mei he ngaahi vai lahi;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
Naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku fili mālohi, pea meiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate au: he naʻa nau mālohi fau kiate au.
19 They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
Naʻa nau talia au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki, ka ko Sihova ko hoku falalaʻanga.
20 And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Naʻa ne ʻomi foki au ki he potu ʻataʻatā: naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.
21 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Naʻe totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo hangē ko e maʻa ʻo hoku nima kuo pehē ʻa ʻene totongi kiate au.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
He kuo tauhi ʻeau ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea kuo ʻikai te u mahuʻi ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.
23 For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,
He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ko ʻene ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu kehe mo ia.
24 And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.
Naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia ʻaʻaku.
25 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.
Ko ia kuo totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.
26 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
Kiate ia ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ongongofua te ke fakahā ʻe koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu.
27 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
Kiate ia ʻoku angamaʻa te ke fakahā koe ki ai ko e angamaʻa; pea ko ia ʻoku angamamili, te ke fangatua mo ia.
28 And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest down.
Pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai ʻoku mamahi: ka ʻoku ʻafio ʻe ho fofonga ki he kakai fielahi, koeʻuhi ke hifo ʻakinautolu ki lalo.
29 For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness.
He ko hoku maama ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova pea ʻe fakamaama ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku fakapoʻuli.
30 For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall.
He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u motuhi ai ha vāhenga tau: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoku ʻOtua kuo u puna atu ai ʻi ha ʻā.
31 As for God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
Ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala ʻoʻona: kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
32 For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pe? Pea ko hai ko e makatuʻu, ka ko hotau ʻOtua pe?
33 God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.
Ko e ʻOtua ko hoku mālohi fakamoʻomoʻoni: pea ʻoku ne fakaʻataʻatā ʻa hoku ʻaluʻanga.
34 He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places.
ʻOku ne fakatatau ʻa hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e [vaʻe ]ʻoe ʻanitelope; pea ʻoku ne fakaheka au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
35 He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.
ʻOku ne akoʻi ʻa hoku nima ki he tau; ko ia ʻoku faʻa fesiua ai ha kaufana ukamea ʻi hoku nima.
36 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fekau ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angaʻofa kuo u hoko ai ʻo lahi.
37 Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.
Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai ʻa hoku vaʻe.
38 I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed.
Kuo u tulia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe tafoki kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu.
39 And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.
Pea kuo u fakaʻosiʻosi kinautolu, mo fakakafoʻi kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau faʻa tuʻu hake: ʻio, kuo nau hinga ki hoku lalo vaʻe.
40 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
He ko koe kuo ke fakakofuʻaki au ʻoe mālohi ki he tau: ko kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake ke tauʻi au kuo ke fakamapelu hifo kinautolu kiate au.
41 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.
Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
42 They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
Naʻa nau sio ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui; pea kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia kinautolu.
43 And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.
Pea naʻaku toki haha fakaikiiki ʻakinautolu ke tatau mo e efu ʻoe kelekele, naʻaku malakaki kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe hala, pea u fakamovetevete atu ʻakinautolu.
44 And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:
Kuo ke fakahaofi foki au mei he fetauʻaki ʻa hoku kakai, kuo ke maluʻi au ke ʻulutukua kiate au ʻae hiteni: ʻe tauhi kiate au ha kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
45 Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
ʻE fakamoʻulaloa kiate au ʻae fānau ʻoe kakai muli, ʻekinautolu pe: ʻoka nau ka fanongo leva, tenau talangofua kiate au.
46 Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
ʻE fakaʻaʻau ke mole atu ʻae kakai muli, pea tenau manavahē mei honau toitoiʻanga.
47 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation,
ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia ʻa hoku makatuʻu; pea ke fakamāʻolunga hake ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe makatuʻu ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.
48 The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me.
Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻae totongi maʻaku, mo ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kakai kiate au,
49 He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
Mo ne ʻomi au mei he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: ko koe foki kuo ke hiki hake au ke u māʻolunga hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata ʻoku fai fakamālohi.
50 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms to thy name.
Ko ia te u tuku ai ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.
51 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
Ko e fale māʻolunga [ia ]ʻoe fakamoʻui maʻa ʻene tuʻi: pea ʻoku [ne ]fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani [ʻaki ʻae lolo], kia Tevita, pea ki hono hako, ʻo taʻengata.
