< Psalms 46 >
1 God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
Ki he takimuʻa ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Kola, ko e hiva ʻi he ʻAlamoti. Ko e ʻOtua ko hotau hūfanga mo e mālohi, ko e tokoni lahi pea ofi ʻi he mamahi.
2 So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
Ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te tau manavahē, ʻo kapau ʻe hiki ʻa māmani, pea kapau ʻe hiki ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ki he loto tahi;
3 and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
Kapau ʻe ʻuʻulu pea hou ʻa hono ngaahi vai, pea ngalulu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi heʻene mahakehake. (Sila)
4 [Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
ʻOku ai ha vaitafe, ko hono mangaʻivai ʻo ia te ne fakafiefiaʻi ʻae kolo ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e potu māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga.
5 God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
ʻOku ʻi loto ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai ueʻi ia: ʻe tokoni ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he hoko mai ʻae pongipongi.
6 [Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
Naʻe matalili ʻae hiteni, naʻe ngaueue ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga: naʻa ne fakaongo atu hono leʻo, pea vela ʻo vai ʻa māmani.
7 But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu; ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hotau hūfanga. (Sila)
8 Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
Haʻu, ʻo vakai ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova, ʻae ngaahi fakaʻauha kuo ne fai ʻi māmani.
9 He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
ʻOku ne fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi tau ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku ne fesiʻi ʻae kaufana, ʻo ne tutuʻu ke motuua ʻae tao; ʻoku ne tutu ʻae saliote ʻi he afi.
10 [God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
“Mou longo pē, pea ʻilo ko au ko e ʻOtua: te u hakeakiʻi au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni, te u hakeakiʻi au ʻi māmani.”
11 [So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
Ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu; ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope ko hotau hūfanga. (Sila)
