Saame 83

1 Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke nofo pē.

A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2 Vakai, ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻe ho ngaahi fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe kuo nau hiki hake honau ʻulu.

For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

3 Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.

They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

4 Naʻa nau pehē, “Haʻu, ketau fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa toe ui ʻakinautolu ko e puleʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa kei manatu ki he hingoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”

They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

5 He kuo nau fakakaukau ʻi he loto taha: ʻoku nau fuakava ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe:

For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

6 Ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻItomi, mo e kau ʻIsimeʻeli; ʻa Moape, mo e hako ʻo Hekaʻā;

The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

7 ‌ʻA Kepale, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻAmaleki, ko e kau Filisitia mo e kakai ʻo Taia;

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 ‌ʻOku fakataha mo kinautolu foki ʻa ʻAsilia: kuo nau tokoni ki he fānau ʻa Lote. (Sila)

Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)

9 Fai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai ki he kau Mitiani; ʻo hangē ko Sisela, mo Sapini, ʻi he vaitafe ʻo Kisoni:

Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

10 ‌ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.

Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

11 Ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻeiki ke hangē ko Olipi, pea tatau mo Siipi: ʻio, ʻa ʻenau houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sipaa, mo Salimuna.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

12 ‌ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”

Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'

13 ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e teka; ke hangē ko e veve ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi.

O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.

14 ‌ʻO hangē ko e vela ʻoe vao ʻakau ʻi he afi, pea hangē kuo tutu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻe he ulo afi.

As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

15 Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.

So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

16 ‌ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

17 Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.

Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

18 Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ko koe, ko ho huafa ʻoʻou ko Sihova, ko e Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi māmani kotoa pē.

That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
