Psalms 52
1 Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Toeki ko e tangata ʻItomi, ʻo tala kia Saula, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, kuo haʻu ʻa Tevita ki he fale ʻo ʻAhimeleki. ʻAe tangata mālohi, ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai koe ʻi he fai pauʻu? ʻoku tolonga maʻuaipē ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
2 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
ʻOku langaʻi ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi; ʻo ne fai kākā, ʻo hangē ko e tele māsila.
3 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
ʻOku ke ʻofa lahi ki he kovi ʻi he lelei; pea ki he loi ʻi he lea māʻoniʻoni. (Sila)
4 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
ʻAe ʻelelo kākā, ʻoku ke manako ki he ngaahi lea fakaʻauha.
5 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
Pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata, te ne toʻo ʻo ʻave koe, pea taʻaki koe mei ho nofoʻanga, ʻo taʻaki fuʻu hake koe mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui. (Sila)
6 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
ʻE mamata foki ki ai ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea manavahē, pea nau kata manuki kiate ia:
7 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
“Vakai, ko eni ʻae tangata naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻae mālohi mei he ʻOtua; ka naʻe falala ki he lahi ʻo ʻene koloa, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻi heʻene kovi.”
8 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
Ka ʻoku ou tatau mo e ʻolive laumaʻuiʻui ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ia ʻe koe: pea te u tatali ki ho huafa; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai māʻoniʻoni.
