Saame 75

1 Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻOku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku mau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe: he ʻoku fakahā ʻe hoʻo ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻoku ofi ho huafa.

To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

2 “ʻO kau ka maʻu ʻae fakataha te u fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

3 Kuo movetevete ʻae fonua mo hono kakai: ʻoku ou poupou hake hono ngaahi pou. (Sila)

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

4 Naʻaku pehē ki he kau vale, ʻoua naʻa mou fai fakavalevale: pea ki he kau angakovi, ʻoua te mou hiki hake ʻae nifo.

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

5 ‌ʻOua naʻa hiki ki ʻolunga homou nifo: ʻoua te mou lea ʻi he kia kekeva.”

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

6 He ʻoku ʻikai haʻu mei he potu hahake, pe mei he potu lulunga, pe mei he potu tonga ʻae hakeakiʻi.

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

7 He ko e fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ʻohifo ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu hake ʻae tokotaha.

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

8 He ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻae ipu, pea ʻoku kulokula ʻae uaine: kuo pito ia ʻi he meʻa kuo huʻi ki ai; pea ʻoku lilingi ʻe ia mei ai: ka ko hono efe ʻo ia, ʻe tatau ia ʻe he angakovi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo inu ia.

For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

9 Ka ko au te u fakahā ʻo taʻengata; te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

10 Te u tutuʻu ke motu ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau angahala; ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi nifo ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
