Saame 2
1 Ko e hā ʻoku matalili ai ʻae hiteni? Pea fakalaulauloto ʻae kakai ki he meʻa noa pē?
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2 ʻOku tuʻu hake fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea fakakaukau fakataha ʻae kau pule kia Sihova mo ia kuo ne pani, ʻo pehē,
Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
3 “Ke tau motuhi ʻena ngaahi haʻi pea liʻaki ʻena ngaahi afo ʻiate kitautolu.”
'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
4 Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi langi ʻe kata ia: ʻe manuki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5 Pea te ne toki folofola kiate kinautolu ʻi hono houhau, pea fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono tuputāmaki lahi.
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6 Ka kuo u fakanofo ʻeku tuʻi ki Saione, ko e moʻunga ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
7 “Te u fakahā ʻae tuʻutuʻuni:” naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe kuo u fakatupu koe ʻi he ʻaho ni.
I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
8 Ke ke lea kiate au, pea te u foaki ʻae ngaahi hiteni ko ho tofiʻa, mo e ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani moʻou.
Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
9 Te ke maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea; pea te ke laiki ke lailai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻumea.
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
10 Pea ko eni, ke poto ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: pea maʻu ʻae akonaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fakamaau ʻo māmani.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻi he manavahē, pea fiefia ʻi he tetetete.
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 ʻUma ki he ʻAlo, telia naʻa houhau ia, pea te mou ʻauha mei he hala, ʻoka tupu siʻi pe hono houhau. ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
