Psalms 48

1 A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, in the city of our God, His holy mountain,

Ko e Hiva mo e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ‌ʻOku lahi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku lelei ke fakamālō lahi kiate ia, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻene māʻoniʻoni.

2 Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth; even mount Zion, the uttermost parts of the north, the city of the great King.

Ko e tuʻunga matamatalelei ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, ko e fiefiaʻanga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻi hono potu tokelau ʻae kolo ʻoe Tuʻi lahi.

3 God in her palaces hath made Himself known for a stronghold.

‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ko e hūfanga ʻi hono ngaahi fale lahi ʻo ia.

4 For, lo, the kings assembled themselves, they came onward together.

Pea vakai, naʻe fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻalu atu fakataha.

5 They saw, straightway they were amazed; they were affrighted, they hasted away.

Naʻa nau mamata ai, pea nau ofo; naʻa nau mamahi, pea hola.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pangs, as of a woman in travail.

Naʻe tuia ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻi he manavahē, mo e mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku langā.

7 With the east wind Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish.

‌ʻOku ke maumauʻi ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻo Tasisi ʻaki ʻae matangi hahake.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God — God establish it for ever. (Selah)

Hangē ko ia naʻa mau fanongo, kuo pehē ʻemau mamata ʻi he kolo ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻi he kolo ʻa hotau ʻOtua: ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata. (Sila)

9 We have thought on Thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of Thy temple.

Kuo mau manatu ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi ho loto faletapu.

10 As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.

‌ʻO hangē ko ho huafa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku pehē ho ongoongolelei ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku pito ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.

11 Let mount Zion be glad, let the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Thy judgments.

Tuku ke fiefia ʻae moʻunga ko Saione, tuku ke nekeneka ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siuta, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau.

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count the towers thereof.

Mou ʻeveʻeva takatakai ʻi Saione, ʻo ʻalu fakatakamilo ʻiate ia: lau hono ngaahi fale māʻolunga ʻo ia.

13 Mark ye well her ramparts, traverse her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

Mou vakai lelei ki hono ngaahi puke, tokanga ki hono ngaahi fale lahi; koeʻuhi ke mou tala ia ki he toʻutangata ʻe hoko.

14 For such is God, our God, for ever and ever; He will guide us eternally.

“He ko e ʻOtua ni ko hotau ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata: te ne tauhi ʻakitautolu ʻo aʻu ki he mate.”
