World English Bible
1Hiva kalanga ki he ʻOtua ko hotau mālohi, kalanga fakafiefia ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
1Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob!
2Toʻo mai ʻae saame, pea ʻomi ʻae kihiʻi lali, mo e haʻape mālie mo e saliteli.
2Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
3Ifi mālohi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi he māhina foʻou, ʻi he ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi hotau ʻaho kātoanga mamalu.
3Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.
4He ko e fekau eni ki ʻIsileli, mo e fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
4For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni eni ʻia Siosefa ko e fakamoʻoni, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ai ki he lea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
5He appointed it in Joseph for a covenant, when he went out over the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn’t know.
6“Naʻaku hiki ʻae kavenga mei hono uma: naʻe hao hono nima mei he ngaahi kato.
6“I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7Naʻa ke ui ʻi he mamahi, pea ne u fakamoʻui koe: naʻaku talia koe ʻi he potu lilo ʻoe mana: ne u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa. Sila.
7You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.” Selah.
8Fanongo, ʻE hoku kakai, pea te u fakapapau kiate koe: ʻE ʻIsileli, kapau te ke tokanga mai kiate au;
8“Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you would listen to me!
9ʻOua naʻa fokotuʻu ha ʻotua foʻou kiate koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hū ki ha ʻotua foʻou.
9There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship any foreign god.
10Ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: fakamanga ho ngutu ke lahi, pea te u fakafonu ia.
10I am the LORD, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11“Ka naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ʻa hoku kakai ki hoku leʻo; pea naʻe ʻikai manako ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au.
11But my people didn’t listen to my voice. Israel desired none of me.
12Ko ia ne u fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ki he holi kovi ʻa honau loto: pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
12So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tokanga ʻa hoku kakai kiate au, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala!
13Oh that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14Pehē, kuo u fakavaivaiʻi leva honau ngaahi fili, ʻo mafao atu hoku nima ki honau kau fakamamahi.
14I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15Pea ko e kau fehiʻa kia Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate ia: ka ʻe tolonga ʻo taʻengata honau ngaahi ʻaho.
15The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.
16Kuo ne fafanga foki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae uite mātuʻaki lelei: pea u fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae hone mei he maka.”
16But he would have also fed them with the finest of the wheat. I will satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
