Psalms 85

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. Lord, thou hast bene fauourable vnto thy land: thou hast brought againe the captiuitie of Iaakob.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻE Sihova, kuo ke finangalo lelei ki ho fonua: kuo ke toe ʻomi ʻa Sēkope mei he pōpula.

2 Thou hast forgiuen the iniquitie of thy people, and couered all their sinnes. (Selah)

Kuo ke fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻa hoʻo kakai, kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻenau angahala kotoa pē. (Sila)

3 Thou hast withdrawen all thine anger, and hast turned backe from the fiercenes of thy wrath.

Kuo ke toʻo ʻo ʻave ho houhau kotoa pē: kuo ke fakatafoki koe mei he kakaha ʻo ho houhau.

4 Turne vs, O God of our saluation, and release thine anger toward vs.

Fakatafoki ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻemau moʻui, pea ke fakangata ho houhau kiate kimautolu.

5 Wilt thou be angry with vs for euer? and wilt thou prolong thy wrath from one generation to another?

Te ke houhau kiate kimautolu ke taʻengata? Te ke toloi atu ho houhau ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē?

6 Wilt thou not turne againe and quicken vs, that thy people may reioyce in thee?

‌ʻIkai te ke toe fakaakeake ʻakimautolu: koeʻuhi ke fiefia hoʻo kakai ʻiate koe?

7 Shew vs thy mercie, O Lord, and graunt vs thy saluation.

Fakahā kiate kimautolu hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, mo ke tuku kiate kimautolu ʻa hoʻo fakamoʻui.

8 I will hearken what the Lord God will say: for he will speake peace vnto his people, and to his Saintes, that they turne not againe to follie.

Te u fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua ko Sihova: he te ne folofolaʻaki ʻae melino ki hono kakai, pea ki heʻene kau māʻoniʻoni: kaeʻoua naʻa nau toe tafoki ki he kovi.

9 Surely his saluation is neere to them that feare him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ofi ʻene fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke nofo ʻae monūʻia ʻi hotau fonua.

10 Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteousnes and peace shall kisse one another.

Kuo fakafetaulaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni; ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e melino kuo na toutou fekita.

11 Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righteousnes shall looke downe from heauen.

‌ʻE tupu hake ʻae moʻoni mei he kelekele; pea ʻe sio hifo ʻae māʻoniʻoni mei he langi.

12 Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our land shall giue her increase.

‌ʻIo, ʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻaia ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe tuku mai hono fua ʻe hotau fonua.

13 Righteousnesse shall go before him, and shall set her steps in the way.

‌ʻE muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hotau vaʻe ʻi hono hala.
