Psalms 50
1 “A psalm of Asaph.” The mighty God, Jehovah, speaketh, and calleth the earth, From the rising of the sun to its going down.
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 shineth forth.
Mei Saione, ko e fungani ʻoe matamatalelei haohaoa, kuo ulo ʻae ʻOtua.
3 Our God cometh, and will not be silent; Before him is a devouring fire, And around him a raging tempest.
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 calleth to the heavens on high, And to the earth, while he judgeth his people:
Te ne ui ki he ngaahi langi mei ʻolunga, pea ki māmani, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamaau hono kakai.
5 “Gather together before me my godly ones, 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 (And the heavens shall declare his righteousness, For it is God himself that is judge., Pause)
Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe he ngaahi langi ʻene māʻoniʻoni: he ko e ʻOtua pē ko e fakamaau. (Sila)
7 “Hear, O my people, and I will speak! O Israel, and I will testify against thee! For I am God, thine own 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 reprove thee not on account of thy sacrifices; For thy burnt-offerings are ever 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 will take no bullock from thy house, Nor he-goat from thy folds;
ʻE ʻikai te u toʻo ha pulu mei ho fale, pe ha kosi tangata mei ho ngaahi lotoʻā.
10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine, And the cattle 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, And the wild beasts of the field are before me.
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 thee; For the world is mine, and all that is therein.
“Kapau te u fiekaia, ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate koe: he ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻa māmani, mo hono mahu ʻo ia.
13 Do 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 thanksgiving, And pay thy vows to the Most High!
ʻAtu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua; mo ke fai hoʻo ngaahi fuakava ki he Fungani Māʻolunga:
15 Then call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me!”
Pea ke ui kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi: te u fakamoʻui koe, pea te ke fakaongoongoleleiʻi au.”
16 And to the wicked God saith, “To what purpose dost thou talk of my statutes? And why hast thou my laws upon thy 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 Thou, who hatest instruction And castest my words behind thee!
He ʻoku ke fehiʻa ki he akonaki, mo ke liʻaki ʻeku ngaahi lea ki ho tuʻa.
18 When thou seest a thief, thou art in friendship with him, And hast fellowship with adulterers.
ʻI hoʻo mamata ki ha kaihaʻa, naʻa ke loto leva kiate ia, pea naʻa ke kau mo e kau tono fefine.
19 Thou lettest loose thy mouth to evil, And thy tongue frameth deceit;
“ʻOku ke tuku ho ngutu ki he kovi, pea ʻoku fakatupu ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae kākā.
20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; Thou slanderest thine own mother's son.
ʻOku ke nofo ʻo lauʻikoviʻi ho tokoua; ʻoku ke fakakoviʻi ʻae tama ʻa hoʻo faʻē ʻaʻau.
21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; Hence thou thoughtest that I was altogether like thyself: But I will reprove thee, and set it in order before thine 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 Mark this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and none deliver you!
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 Whoso offereth praise honoreth me; And to him who hath regard to his ways Will I show salvation from 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.”
