Psalms 50
1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. Kuo folofola ʻa Sihova, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ʻo ui ki māmani ki he potu hopoʻanga ʻoe laʻā ʻo aʻu atu ki hono tōʻanga.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
Mei Saione, ko e fungani ʻoe matamatalelei haohaoa, kuo ulo ʻae ʻOtua.
3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
ʻE hāʻele mai hotau ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai fakalongo pē: ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe he afi ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe takatakai ia ʻe he afā lahi.
4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
Te ne ui ki he ngaahi langi mei ʻolunga, pea ki māmani, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamaau hono kakai.
5 "Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
“Tānaki fakataha kiate au ʻeku kakai māʻoniʻoni; ʻakinautolu kuo fai ʻae fuakava mo au ʻi he feilaulau.”
6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻene māʻoniʻoni: he ko e ʻOtua pē ko e fakamaau. (Sila)
7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
“Fanongo mai, ʻE hoku kakai, pea te u lea; pea te u fakapapau kiate koe, ʻE ʻIsileli: ko au ko e ʻOtua, ʻio, ko ho ʻOtua.
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
ʻE ʻikai te u valokiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau, pe ko hoʻo ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ke fai maʻu pe ʻi hoku ʻao.
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
ʻE ʻikai te u toʻo ha pulu mei ho fale, pe ha kosi tangata mei ho ngaahi lotoʻā.
10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
He ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻae manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao, mo e fanga manu ʻi he moʻunga ʻe afe.
11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻae manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga: pea ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻae ngaahi manu kaivao kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
“Kapau te u fiekaia, ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate koe: he ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻa māmani, mo hono mahu ʻo ia.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
He te u kai ʻeau ʻae kakano ʻoe fanga pulu tangata, pe inu ʻae toto ʻoe fanga kosi?
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
ʻAtu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua; mo ke fai hoʻo ngaahi fuakava ki he Fungani Māʻolunga:
15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
Pea ke ui kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi: te u fakamoʻui koe, pea te ke fakaongoongoleleiʻi au.”
16 But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ki he angakovi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kau ai koe ke tala ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea ke ʻai ʻi ho ngutu ʻeku fuakava?
17 seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
He ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki he akonaki, mo ke liʻaki ʻeku ngaahi lea ki ho tuʻa.
18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
ʻI hoʻo mamata ki ha kaihaʻa, naʻa ke loto leva kiate ia, pea naʻa ke kau mo e kau tono fefine.
19 "You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
“ʻOku ke tuku ho ngutu ki he kovi, pea ʻoku fakatupu ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae kākā.
20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.
ʻOku ke nofo ʻo lauʻikoviʻi ho tokoua; ʻoku ke fakakoviʻi ʻae tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē ʻaʻau.
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
Naʻa ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ne u fakalongo pē; naʻa ke mahalo ʻoku ou hangē tofu pe ko koe: ka te u valokiʻi koe, ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi ho ʻao.
22 "Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Ko eni, mou tokanga ki he meʻa ni, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fakangalongaloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, telia naʻaku haehae ke fakaikiiki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻikai ha taha ke fakamoʻui.
23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him who orders his conduct I will show the salvation of God."
“Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻoku ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi au: pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakatonutonu hono hala te u fakahā kiate ia ʻae fakamoʻui ʻoe ʻOtua.”
