Psalms 79
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻE ʻOtua, kuo hoko ʻae hiteni ki ho tofiʻa; kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni; kuo nau fakalala ʻa Selūsalema ke tafungofunga ia.
2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.
Kuo nau ʻange ʻae sino mate ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko e meʻakai ki he manupuna ʻoe langi, mo e kakano ʻo hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
3 They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
Kuo nau lilingi honau toto ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻo takatakai ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke tanu ʻakinautolu.
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
Kuo mau hoko ko e manukiʻanga ʻo homau ngaahi kaungāʻapi, ko e meʻa manuki mo e taukaeʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimautolu.
5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.
ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Te ke houhau ʻo taʻengata? pea vela ho fuaʻa ʻo hangē ko e afi?
6 Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.
Ke ke lilingi ho houhau ki he hiteni ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻilo koe, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku teʻeki ai ui ki ho huafa.
7 For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.
He kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa Sēkope, ʻo maumauʻi ke lala hono nofoʻanga.
8 Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
ʻoua naʻa ke fakamanatu kiate kimautolu ʻemau ngaahi muʻaki hia: tuku ke tokoni vave ʻakimautolu ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua: he kuo ʻohifo ki lalo ʻaupito ʻakimautolu.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.
ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakamoʻui, ke ke tokoni ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko e ongoongolelei ʻo ho huafa: pea fakahaofi ʻakimautolu, ʻo fakamaʻa ke ʻosi ʻemau ngaahi angahala, koeʻuhi ko ho huafa.
10 Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants that is shed.
Koeʻumaʻā ʻae lea pehē mai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?” Tuku ke ʻilo ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni ʻi homau ʻao ʻi he totongi ʻoe toto ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia kuo huaʻi.
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.
Tuku ke aʻu ki ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi mafulu ʻae kau nofo pōpula; ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi.
12 And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.
ʻE ʻEiki, ke ke ʻange ke liunga fitu ki he fatafata ʻo homau kaungāʻapi ʻenau lauʻikovi, ʻaia naʻa nau lauʻikoviʻi ʻaki koe.
13 And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
Pea ko kimautolu ko ho kakai mo e fanga sipi ʻo hoʻo ngoue, temau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata: temau fakahā atu ho ongoongolelei ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
