Saame 83

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

Berean Standard Bible

1‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke nofo pē.

1O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.

2Vakai, ʻoku fakatupu maveuveu ʻe ho ngaahi fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate koe kuo nau hiki hake honau ʻulu.

2See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.

3Naʻa nau alea fakalilolilo ki hoʻo kakai, pea nau fakakaukau fakataha ki he kakai ʻoku ke maluʻi.

3With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,

4Naʻa 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.”

4saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

5He kuo nau fakakaukau ʻi he loto taha: ʻoku nau fuakava ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe:

5For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—

6Ko e ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo ʻItomi, mo e kau ʻIsimeʻeli; ʻa Moape, mo e hako ʻo Hekaʻā;

6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

7‌ʻA Kepale, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻAmaleki, ko e kau Filisitia mo e kakai ʻo Taia;

7of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.

8‌ʻOku fakataha mo kinautolu foki ʻa ʻAsilia: kuo nau tokoni ki he fānau ʻa Lote. Sila.

8Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah

9Fai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fai ki he kau Mitiani; ʻo hangē ko Sisela, mo Sapini, ʻi he vaitafe ʻo Kisoni:

9Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

10‌ʻAia naʻe ʻauha ʻi Enitoa: naʻa nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa ki he kelekele.

10who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.

11Ngaohi honau ngaahi ʻeiki ke hangē ko Olipi, pea tatau mo Siipi: ʻio, ʻa ʻenau houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko Sipaa, mo Salimuna.

11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12‌ʻAia naʻa nau pehē, “Ketau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe ʻOtua moʻotautolu.”

12who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”

13‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ke ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e teka; ke hangē ko e veve ʻoku vilingia ʻi he matangi.

13Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

14‌ʻO hangē ko e vela ʻoe vao ʻakau ʻi he afi, pea hangē kuo tutu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻe he ulo afi.

14As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,

15Ke fakatanga pehē ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo fuʻu taufa, pea fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki hoʻo afā.

15so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

16‌ʻE Sihova, fakafonu honau mata ʻi he mā; koeʻuhi kenau kumi ki ho huafa.

16Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.

17Tuku kenau puputuʻu mo mamahi ʻo taʻengata; ʻio, tuku ke mā mo ʻauha ʻakinautolu.

17May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.

18Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ko koe, ko ho huafa ʻoʻou ko Sihova, ko e Fungani Māʻolunga ʻi māmani kotoa pē.

18May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
