Saame 76
1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻOku ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi Siuta: ʻOku lahi hono huafa ʻi ʻIsileli.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 ʻOku ʻi Selemi foki hono fale fehikitaki, mo hono ʻafioʻanga ʻi Saione.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Naʻe fesifesi ʻe ia ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngahau ʻoe kaufana, ʻae fakaū, mo e heletā, mo e tau. (Sila)
There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
4 ʻOku ke nāunauʻia mo lelei lahi hake ʻa koe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe fakamālohi.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Kuo ikuna ʻae kau loto mālohi, kuo nau mohe ʻi heʻenau mohe: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau tangata mālohi ʻoku ʻilo honau nima.
Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
6 ʻE ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope, ʻi hoʻo tautea kuo ke lī fakatouʻosi pē ʻae saliote mo e hoosi ki he mohe ʻoe mate.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Ko koe, ʻio, ko koe, ko e manavahēʻia: pea ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi ho ʻao ʻoka ke ka houhau?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Naʻa ke fakaongoʻi ʻae fakamaau mei he langi; naʻe manavahē ai ʻa māmani, ʻo tuʻu taʻengaue,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 ʻI he tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua ki he fakamaau, ke fakamoʻui ʻae kau angavaivai kotoa pē ʻo māmani. (Sila)
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 Ko e moʻoni ʻe fakaongolelei koe ʻe he ʻita ʻae tangata: pea ko hono toe ʻoe ʻita te ke lolomi.
When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
11 Mou fuakava, ʻo fai ia kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: tuku ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia ʻoku totonu ke manavahē ki ai, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻo takatakai ia.
[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
12 ʻE motuhi ʻe ia ʻae loto lahi ʻoe houʻeiki: ʻoku fakailifia ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
