Saame 83

Tongan Bible, Revised West Version

JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)

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

1(83-1) A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. (83-2) O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and 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.

2(83-3) For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.

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

3(83-4) They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.

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.”

4(83-5) They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'

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

5(83-6) For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;

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

6(83-7) The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;

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

7(83-8) Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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

8(83-9) Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children 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:

9(83-10) Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;

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

10(83-11) Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.

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

11(83-12) Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;

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

12(83-13) Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'

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

13(83-14) O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble 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.

14(83-15) As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;

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

15(83-16) So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.

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

16(83-17) Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.

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

17(83-18) Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;

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

18(83-19) That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
