Saame 68
1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita. Ke tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua, tuku ke veteki hono ngaahi fili: tuku ke puna foki mei hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.
To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
2 Hangē ko e vilingia ʻo mole ʻae kohu, ke pehē pe hono vilingia ʻakinautolu: hangē ko e pulu ʻoku vela ʻo vai ʻi he afi, ke ʻauha pehē pe ʻae kau angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
3 Ka ʻe tuku ke fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni; ke nekeneka ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻIo, ke fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu.
But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
4 Hiva ki he ʻOtua, hiva fakamālō ki hono huafa: fakaongoongolelei ia ʻoku hāʻele ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻi hono huafa ko SIHOVA, pea fiefia ʻi hono ʻao.
Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
5 Ko e tamai ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamai mate, mo e fakamaau ia ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ki he kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 ʻOku ʻai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau paea ʻi he ngaahi fale: ʻoku ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi: ka ʻoku nofo ʻae kau angatuʻu ʻi he fonua mōmoa.
God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
7 ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻo muʻomuʻa atu ki ho kakai, ʻi hoʻo hāʻele ʻi he toafa; (Sila)
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
8 Naʻe ngalulu ʻa māmani, pea ngangana mo e ngaahi langi foki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻio, naʻe ngaueue ʻa Sainai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 ʻE ʻOtua, naʻa ke tuku hifo ʻae ʻuha lahi, ʻaia naʻa ke fakamālohi ʻaki ho tofiʻa, ʻi heʻene vaivai.
Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
10 Naʻe nofo ki ai ʻa ho kakai: ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke tokonaki ʻi hoʻo angalelei ki he masiva.
Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
11 Naʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae folofola pea naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe fakahā ia.
The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
12 “Naʻe hola vave ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kautau:” pea naʻe tufa ʻae vete ʻe he fefine naʻe nofo ʻo leʻo.
Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13 Neongo hoʻomou nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kulo, ka temou hangē ko e kapakau ʻoe lupe ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva, mo hono fulufulu ko e koula melomelo.
Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
14 ʻI he veteki ʻi ai ʻe he Māfimafi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe hinehina ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina ʻi Salimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
15 Ko e moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani; ko e moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani,
[As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
16 Ko e hā ʻoku mou hopohopo ai, ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga? Ko e moʻunga eni ʻoku fili ʻe he ʻOtua ke nofo ki ai; ʻio, ʻe nofo ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata.
Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
17 Ko e ngaahi saliote ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ua mano, ʻio, ko e ngaahi toko afe ʻoe ʻāngelo: ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻEiki, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi Sainai, ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
18 Kuo ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga, kuo u angatuʻu foki, koeʻuhi ke nofo kiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
19 Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia ʻoku ne hili kiate kitautolu ʻae kavenga ʻoe meʻa lelei ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hotau fakamoʻui. (Sila)
Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)

Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u toe ʻomi mei Pesani, te u toe ʻomi hoku kakai mei he loloto ʻo e ngaahi tahi.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
23 Koeʻuhi ke kulokula ho vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻo ho ngaahi fili, pea mo e ʻelelo ʻo hoʻo fanga kulī ʻi ai.”
That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.

30 Ke ke tautea ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao kaho, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe fanga pulu tangata, mo e ngaahi ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻoe kakai, ke ʻoua kenau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi konga siliva: ke ke veteki ʻae kakai ʻoku manako ki he tau.
Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.

Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku fakamanavahē ko e ʻituʻa ʻi ho ngaahi faletapu: ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae mālohi mo e faʻa fai ki hono kakai. Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.
Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
