Psalms 83

1 “A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!

Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke nofo pē.

2 For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.

Vakai, ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻe ho ngaahi fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe kuo nau hiki hake honau ʻulu.

3 Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.

Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.

4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.

Naʻa nau pehē, “Haʻu, ketau fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa toe ui ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa kei manatu ki he hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”

5 For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:

He kuo nau fakakaukau ʻi he loto taha: ʻoku nau fuakava ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe:

6 The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: Moab, and the Hagarenes;

Ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻItomi, mo e kau ʻIsimeʻeli; ʻa Moape, mo e hako ʻo Hekaʻā;

7 Gebal, and 'Ammon, and 'Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

‌ʻA Kepale, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻAmaleki, ko e kau Filisitia mo e kakai ʻo Taia;

8 Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)

‌ʻOku fakataha mo kinautolu foki ʻa ʻAsilia: kuo nau tokoni ki he fānau ʻa Lote. (Sila)

9 Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:

Fai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai ki he kau Mitiani; ʻo hangē ko Sisela, mo Sapini, ʻi he vaitafe ʻo Kisoni:

10 Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.

‌ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.

11 Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;

Ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻeiki ke hangē ko Olipi, pea tatau mo Siipi: ʻio, ʻa ʻenau houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sipaa, mo Salimuna.

12 Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,

‌ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”

13 O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.

‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e teka; ke hangē ko e veve ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi.

14 As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:

‌ʻO hangē ko e vela ʻoe vao ʻakau ʻi he afi, pea hangē kuo tutu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻe he ulo afi.

15 So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.

Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.

16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Lord!

‌ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.

17 Let them be made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:

Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.

18 That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.

Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ko koe, ko ho huafa ʻoʻou ko Sihova, ko e Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
