Saame 94
1 ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻae totongi; ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻaʻau ʻae totongi: ke ke ulo mai.
O YHWH El, to whom vengeance belongeth; O El, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Ke ke hiki hake koe, ʻa koe ko e fakamaau ʻo māmani; ʻange ʻae totongi ki he laukau.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe fielahi ʻae angahala, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe polepole ʻae angahala?
YHWH, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻenau fakahā mo lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa? Pea vikiviki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku nau fesiʻi ʻo lailaiki ho kakai, mo fakamamahiʻi ho tofiʻa.
They break in pieces thy people, O YHWH, and afflict thine heritage.
6 ʻOku nau tāmateʻi ʻae muli mo e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea fakapoongi ʻae tamai mate.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Ka ʻoku nau pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.”
Yet they say, YAH shall not see, neither shall the Elohim of Jacob regard it.
8 Mou ʻilo ʻekimoutolu ʻoku anga fakamanu ʻi he kakai: pea ko kimoutolu ʻae kau vale, te mou poto ʻafē?
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae telinga, ʻikai te ne fanongo? Ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae mata, ʻikai te ne ʻafioʻi?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Ko ia ʻoku ne tautea ʻae hiteni, ʻikai te ne tautea? Ko ia ʻoku ne akonakiʻi ʻae tangata ke poto, ʻikai te ne ʻiloʻi?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻae tangata, ʻoku nau vaʻinga pē.
YHWH knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ke tautea, mo ke ako kiate ia ʻaki hoʻo fono;
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O YAH, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 Koeʻuhi te ke foaki kiate ia ʻae mālōlō mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, kaeʻoua ke keli ʻae luo ki he kau angahala.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai liʻaki ʻe Sihova hono kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakatukutukuʻi hono tofiʻa.
For YHWH will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Ka ʻe foki ʻae fakamaau ki he māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻe angimui ki ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angatonu ʻi loto.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Ko hai ʻe tuʻu hake maʻaku ʻo taʻofi ʻae kau fai kovi? Pe ko hai ʻe tuʻu hake maʻaku ʻo taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he angahala?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Ka ne ʻikai tokoni au ʻe Sihova, pehē, kuo vave ʻae nofo ʻa hoku laumālie ʻi he fakalongo pē.
Unless YHWH had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 ʻI heʻeku pehē, “ʻOku hekea hoku vaʻe;” ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, naʻe poupou hake au.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O YHWH, held me up.
19 ʻI hono lahi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi mahalo ʻiate au, ʻoku fakafiefiaʻi au ʻi hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakafiemālie.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 ʻE feohi koā mo koe ʻae nofoʻa ʻoe angahala, ʻaia ʻoku fakatupu ʻae pauʻu ʻaki ʻae fono?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 ʻOku nau fakataha ʻo angatuʻu ki he laumālie ʻoe angatonu, mo fakahalaia ʻae toto tonuhia.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Ka ko hoku ungakiʻi ʻa Sihova pea ko hoku ʻOtua ko e maka ia ʻo hoku hūfanga.
But YHWH is my defence; and my Elohim is the rock of my refuge.
23 Pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻenau hia, pea te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau angahala; ʻio, ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua te ne fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, YHWH our Elohim shall cut them off
