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.
God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
2 Vakai, ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻe ho ngaahi fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe kuo nau hiki hake honau ʻulu.
because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
3 Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.
They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
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, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
5 He kuo nau fakakaukau ʻi he loto taha: ʻoku nau fuakava ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe:
They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
6 Ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻItomi, mo e kau ʻIsimeʻeli; ʻa Moape, mo e hako ʻo Hekaʻā;
[The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
7 ʻA Kepale, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻAmaleki, ko e kau Filisitia mo e kakai ʻo Taia;
Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
8 ʻOku fakataha mo kinautolu foki ʻa ʻAsilia: kuo nau tokoni ki he fānau ʻa Lote. (Sila)
[The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
9 Fai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai ki he kau Mitiani; ʻo hangē ko Sisela, mo Sapini, ʻi he vaitafe ʻo Kisoni:
[God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
10 ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.
You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
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.
Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”
who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to 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, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
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 completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
15 Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.
expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
16 ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.
Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
17 Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.
Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
18 Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ko koe, ko ho huafa ʻoʻou ko Sihova, ko e Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
