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 Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A Psalm of Asaph. — A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy wonders.
2 “ʻO kau ka maʻu ʻae fakataha te u fakamaau māʻoniʻoni.
When I receive an appointment, I — I do judge uprightly.
3 Kuo movetevete ʻae fonua mo hono kakai: ʻoku ou poupou hake hono ngaahi pou. (Sila)
Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I — I have pondered its pillars. (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 boastful, 'Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, 'Raise not up a horn.'
5 ʻOua naʻa hiki ki ʻolunga homou nifo: ʻoua te mou lea ʻi he kia kekeva.”
Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)
6 He ʻoku ʻikai haʻu mei he potu hahake, pe mei he potu lulunga, pe mei he potu tonga ʻae hakeakiʻi.
For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the wilderness — [is] elevation.
7 He ko e fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ʻohifo ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha, kae fokotuʻu hake ʻae tokotaha.
But God [is] judge, This He maketh low — and this He lifteth 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 Jehovah, And the wine hath foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth,
9 Ka ko au te u fakahā ʻo taʻengata; te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
And I — I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to 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.
And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the horns of the righteous!
