Saame 79
1 Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ʻE ʻOtua, kuo hoko ʻae hiteni ki ho tofiʻa; kuo nau fakaʻuliʻi ho faletapu māʻoniʻoni; kuo nau fakalala ʻa Selūsalema ke tafungofunga ia.
A Psalme committed to Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance: thine holy Temple haue they defiled, and made Ierusalem heapes of stones.
2 Kuo nau ʻange ʻae sino mate ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko e meʻakai ki he manupuna ʻoe langi, mo e kakano ʻo hoʻo kakai māʻoniʻoni ki he fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
The dead bodies of thy seruats haue they giuen to be meat vnto foules of ye heauen: and the flesh of thy Saintes vnto the beastes of the earth.
3 Kuo nau lilingi honau toto ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻo takatakai ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe ʻikai ha niʻihi ke tanu ʻakinautolu.
Their blood haue they shead like waters rounde about Ierusalem, and there was none to burie them.
4 Kuo mau hoko ko e manukiʻanga ʻo homau ngaahi kaungāʻapi, ko e meʻa manuki mo e taukaeʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimautolu.
Wee are a reproche to our neighbours, euen a scorne and derision vnto them that are round about vs.
5 ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Te ke houhau ʻo taʻengata? pea vela ho fuaʻa ʻo hangē ko e afi?
Lord, howe long wilt thou be angrie, for euer? shall thy gelousie burne like fire?
6 Ke ke lilingi ho houhau ki he hiteni ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻilo koe, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku teʻeki ai ui ki ho huafa.
Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen that haue not knowen thee, and vpon the kingdomes that haue not called vpon thy Name.
7 He kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa Sēkope, ʻo maumauʻi ke lala hono nofoʻanga.
For they haue deuoured Iaakob and made his dwelling place desolate.
8 ʻoua naʻa ke fakamanatu kiate kimautolu ʻemau ngaahi muʻaki hia: tuku ke tokoni vave ʻakimautolu ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua: he kuo ʻohifo ki lalo ʻaupito ʻakimautolu.
Remember not against vs the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy tender mercies preuent vs: for we are in great miserie.
9 ʻE ʻOtua ko homau fakamoʻui, ke ke tokoni ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko e ongoongolelei ʻo ho huafa: pea fakahaofi ʻakimautolu, ʻo fakamaʻa ke ʻosi ʻemau ngaahi angahala, koeʻuhi ko ho huafa.
Helpe vs, O God of our saluation, for the glorie of thy Name, and deliuer vs, and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy Names sake.
10 Koeʻumaʻā ʻae lea pehē mai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?” Tuku ke ʻilo ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni ʻi homau ʻao ʻi he totongi ʻoe toto ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia kuo huaʻi.
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be knowen among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy seruants that is shed.
11 Tuku ke aʻu ki ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi mafulu ʻae kau nofo pōpula; ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi.
Let the sighing of the prisoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preserue the children of death,
12 ʻE ʻEiki, ke ke ʻange ke liunga fitu ki he fatafata ʻo homau kaungāʻapi ʻenau lauʻikovi, ʻaia naʻa nau lauʻikoviʻi ʻaki koe.
And render to our neighbours seuen folde into their bosome their reproche, wherewith they haue reproched thee, O Lord.
13 Pea ko kimautolu ko ho kakai mo e fanga sipi ʻo hoʻo ngoue, temau ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻo taʻengata: temau fakahā atu ho ongoongolelei ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
So wee thy people, and sheepe of thy pasture shall praise thee for euer: and from generation to generation we will set foorth thy praise.
