< Psalms 60 >

1 For the music director. According to “Lily of the Testimony.” A psalm (miktam) of David, useful for teaching, about the time he fought against Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and then Joab returned and killed 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You, God, have rejected us! You have broken us; you have been angry with us; but now you have to welcome us back!
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Susani-Etuta, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita, ke ako ʻaki; ʻi heʻene tauʻi ʻa ʻElama-Nahalaimi mo ʻElama-Sopa, pea liu mai ʻa Soape, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻi he luo ʻoe māsima ʻae tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe ʻoe kakai ʻItomi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu; kuo ke veteki ʻakimautolu; naʻa ke houhau; ke ke toe tafoki mai kiate kimautolu.
2 You have sent earthquakes on our land and split it apart. Now heal the cracks, for the land is still having tremors.
Kuo ke lulu ʻae fonua ke tetetete; kuo mafahifahi ia: ke ke fakalelei hono ngaahi maumau; he ʻoku ngalulu ia.
3 You have been very hard on your people; you gave us wine that made us stagger around.
Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa ki hoʻo kakai; kuo ke fakainu ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae uaine fakaofo.
4 But you have given those who respect you the banner of truth to unfurl and rally around. (Selah)
Kuo ke foaki ʻae fuka kiate kinautolu naʻe manavahē kiate koe, ke fakahā ia koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni. (Sila)
5 Rescue those you love! Answer us, and save us by your power!
Koeʻuhi ke hao ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai; ke ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo fanongo kiate au.
6 God has spoken from his Temple: “Triumphantly I divide up Shechem, and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Kuo folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni; “Te u fiefia, te u vaeua ʻa Sikemi, ʻo fuofua ʻae luo ʻo Sukote.
7 Both Gilead and Manasseh belong to me. Ephraim is my helmet, and Judah is my scepter.
‌ʻOku ʻoʻoku ʻa Kiliati, pea ʻoʻoku mo Manase; ko e mālohi foki ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻa ʻIfalemi; ko ʻeku fai fono ʻa Siuta;
8 I will treat Moab as my washbasin; I will place my sandal on Edom; I will shout in triumph over Philistia.”
Ko ʻeku ipu kaukauʻanga ʻa Moape; te u lī hoku topuvaʻe ki ʻolunga ki ʻItomi: Filisitia, ke ke vikiviki koe koeʻuhi ko au.”
9 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will lead me into Edom?
Ko hai te ne ʻomi au ki he kolo mālohi? Ko hai te ne aʻutaki au ki ʻItomi?
10 Have you rejected us, God? Won't you lead our armies?
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ia, ʻa koe kuo ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu? ʻA koe, ʻE ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻalu mo ʻemau ngaahi kautau?
11 Please give us help against our enemies, for human help is worthless.
Ke ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae tokoni mei he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae tokoni ʻae tangata.
12 Our strength is in God, and he will crush our enemies.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻOtua te tau fai mālohi ai: he ko ia ia te ne malaki hifo hotau ngaahi fili.
