Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Ko e moʻoni ʻoku angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa.
1Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2Ka ko au naʻe meimei mole hoku vaʻe: naʻaku meimei hekea ʻi heʻeku ngaahi laka.
2Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
3He naʻaku meheka ʻi he kau vale, ʻi heʻeku mamata ki he fiemālie ʻae angakovi.
3Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4He ʻoku ʻikai hanau mamahi ʻi heʻenau mate: ka ʻoku maʻu pe honau mālohi.
4And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,
5ʻOku ʻikai moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai kehe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai niʻihi.
5And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,
6Ko ia ʻoku takatakai ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he laukau ʻo hangē ko e ukamea fihifihi; ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he angamālohi ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
6They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
7ʻOku hohopo honau mata ʻi heʻenau sino: ʻoku nau maʻu meʻa ʻo lahi hake ʻi he holi ʻoe loto.
7They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
8Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea lea kovi ʻi he fakamālohi: ʻoku nau lea fakafiefielahi.
8They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
9ʻOku nau hangatonu atu honau ngutu ʻo angatuʻu ki he ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻeveʻeva honau ʻelelo ʻi māmani.
9Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.
10Ko ia ʻoku liu mai ai ki heni hono kakai: pea ʻoku tatau ʻae vai kiate kinautolu ke pito ʻae ipu.
10How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
11Pea ʻoku nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻilo fēfē ʻe he ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ai ha ʻilo ʻi he Fungani Māʻolunga?”
11Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
12Vakai, ko eni ʻae kau angakovi ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he māmani; ʻoku tupu pē ʻenau koloa.
12But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Ko e moʻoni ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻeku fakamaʻa hoku loto, mo ʻeku fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
13Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14He kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea kuo tautea au ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē,
14Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
15Kapau te u tala, te u lea pehē; vakai, ko ʻeku fai hala ki he toʻutangata ʻo hoʻo fānau.
15Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
16Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻahiʻahi ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, naʻe faingataʻa ia kiate au;
16Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
17Ka ʻi heʻeku hū ki he faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua; naʻaku toki ʻilo ai honau ikuʻanga.
17Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
18Ko e moʻoni naʻa ke tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi potu hekeheke: kuo ke laku hifo ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fakaʻauha.
18Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
19Kuo ʻomi vave ʻakinautolu ki he malaʻia, ʻo hangē ko e kemo pe taha ʻoe mata! Kuo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ilifia.
19Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
20Hangē ko e misi ʻoka ʻā hake ha taha; ke pehē pe, ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoka ke ka ʻā hake, te ke manukiʻi honau tatau.
20Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
21Naʻe mamahi pehē pe hoku laumālie, pea naʻe mahuhuhuhu ai hoku loto.
21Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
22Naʻe pehē ʻeku vale, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: naʻaku hangē ko e manu ʻi ho ʻao.
22Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
23Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻiate koe maʻuaipē: pea kuo ke puke au ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu.
23Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
24Te ke tataki au ʻi hoʻo poto, pea hili ia te ke maʻu au ki ho nāunau.
