Psalms 85

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

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 forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)

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

3 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

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

4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

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

5 Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

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

6 Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

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

7 Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.

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

8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

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 salvation is nigh them that fear 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 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

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

11 Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

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

12 Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

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

13 Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.

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