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 by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.
2 Vakai, ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻe ho ngaahi fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe kuo nau hiki hake honau ʻulu.
For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.
3 Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.
They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your 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 say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."
5 He kuo nau fakakaukau ʻi he loto taha: ʻoku nau fuakava ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe:
For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;
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, 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 too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants 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 to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,
10 ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.
who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.
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, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”
who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures 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.
My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by 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.
Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,
15 Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.
so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.
16 ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.
Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, LORD.
17 Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,
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 will know that you alone, whose name is the LORD, are the Most High over all the earth.
