< Psalms 59 >

1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; secure me on high from them that rise up against me.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita, ʻi he fekau ʻa Saula ke nau leʻohi ʻae fale ke tāmateʻi ia. ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fakahaofi au mei hoku ngaahi fili: maluʻi au meiate kinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate au.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.
Ke ke fakahaofi au mei he kau fai kovi mo ke fakamoʻui au mei he kau tangata pani toto.
3 For behold, they lie in wait for my soul; strong ones are gathered against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
Vakai, ʻoku nau tatali ʻo lama ki hoku laumālie: ʻE Sihova, kuo kātoa fakataha ʻae kau mālohi kiate au: ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi heʻeku talangataʻa, pe ko ʻeku angahala.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to meet me, and behold.
‌ʻOku nau feleleʻi ʻo teuʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku kovi: ke ke ʻā ke tokoni au, pea ke ʻafioʻi.
5 Yea, do thou, Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the nations: be not gracious to any plotters of iniquity. (Selah)
Pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ko e ʻOtua, ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ke ʻā hake ʻo ʻahiʻahi ki he hiteni kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa ke ʻaloʻofa ki he kau angakovi kākā. (Sila)
6 They return in the evening; they howl like a dog, and go round about the city:
‌ʻOku nau liu mai ʻi he efiafi: ʻoku nau longoaʻa ʻo hangē ko e kulī, pea ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: for who [say they] doth hear?
Vakai, ʻoku nau hake ʻi honau ngutu: ʻoku ʻi honau loungutu ʻae ngaahi heletā: he ʻoku nau pehē, “ko hai ʻoku ne fanongo?”
8 But thou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke kata kiate kinautolu; te ke manuki ki he hiteni kotoa pē.
9 Their strength! ...I will take heed to thee; for God is my high fortress.
Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene mālohi ko ia te u tatali ai kiate koe: he ko hoku hūfanga ʻae ʻOtua.
10 God, whose loving-kindness will come to meet me, — God shall let me see [my desire] upon mine enemies.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻaloʻofa kiate au te ne tokoni au: ʻe tuku kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua ke u mamata ki heʻeku holi ki hoku ngaahi fili.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget; by thy power make them wander, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
‌ʻOua naʻa ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa ngalo ʻi hoku kakai; fakahēʻi ʻakinautolu ke mamaʻo ʻi ho mālohi; pea ʻohifo ki lalo ʻakinautolu, ʻE ʻEiki, ko homau fakaū.
12 [Because of] the sin of their mouth, the word of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride; and because of cursing and lying which they speak.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala ʻa honau ngutu, mo e ngaahi lea ʻa honau loungutu, tuku ke moʻua ai ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau laukau: koeʻuhi ko e kape mo e loi ʻoku nau lea ʻaki.
13 Make an end in wrath, make an end, that they may be no more; that they may know that God ruleth in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he houhau, fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa kei ai ʻakinautolu: pea tuku ke ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻoku pule, ʻae ʻOtua, ʻia Sēkope, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani. (Sila)
14 And in the evening they shall return, they shall howl like a dog, and go round about the city.
Pea tuku kenau liu mai ʻi he efiafi; tuku kenau longoaʻa ʻo hangē ko e kulī, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻi he kolo.
15 They shall wander about for meat, and stay all night if they be not satisfied.
Tuku kenau ʻalu ʻo hē fano ai pē ʻo kumi kai, pea lāunga ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai tenau mākona.
16 But as for me, I will sing of thy strength; yea, I will sing aloud of thy loving-kindness in the morning; for thou hast been to me a high fortress, and a refuge in the day of my trouble.
Ka te u hiva au ki ho mālohi; ʻio, te u hiva mālohi ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi: he ko hoku ungaʻanga koe, mo e hūfanga kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi.
17 Unto thee, my strength, will I sing psalms; for God is my high fortress, the God of my mercy.
‌ʻE hoku mālohi, te u hiva kiate koe: he ko hoku kalofanga ʻae ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻaloʻofa kiate au.
