Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Haʻu, ketau hiva kia Sihova: ketau kalanga ʻi he fiefia ki he maka ʻo ʻetau moʻui.
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Ketau haʻu ki hono ʻao mo e fakafetaʻi, mo kalanga ʻi he fiefia kiate ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi saame.
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
He ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua lahi, pea ko e Tuʻi lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē.
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
ʻOku ʻi hono nima ʻae ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻo māmani: ko e mālohi ʻoe ngaahi moʻunga ʻoku ʻoʻona foki.
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
ʻOku ʻoʻona ʻae tahi, he naʻa ne ngaohi ia: pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe hono nima ʻae fonua mōmoa.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Haʻu, ketau lotu mo punou: ketau tūʻulutui ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau tupuʻanga.
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
He ko hotau ʻOtua ia; pea ko e kakai ʻakitautolu ʻo ʻene ngoue, mo e fanga sipi ʻa hono nima. Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo,
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
“ʻOua naʻa mou fakafefeka homou loto, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he fakahouhau lahi, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻi he toafa:
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
ʻAia naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, pea nau ʻahiʻahi kiate au, ʻonau mamata ki heʻeku ngāue.
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Naʻaku fehiʻa ki he toʻutangata ko ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, pea naʻaku pehē, ‘Ko e kakai eni ʻoku hē ʻi honau loto, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo hoku ngaahi hala:
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
Pea ne u fuakava kiate kinautolu ʻi hoku houhau, ‘ʻE ʻikai tenau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.’”
