Psalms 68

1 For the end, a Psalm of a Song by David. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame pe ko e Hiva ʻa Tevita. Ke tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua, tuku ke veteki hono ngaahi fili: tuku ke puna foki mei hono ʻao ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.

2 As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.

Hangē ko e vilingia ʻo mole ʻae kohu, ke pehē pe hono vilingia ʻakinautolu: hangē ko e pulu ʻoku vela ʻo vai ʻi he afi, ke ʻauha pehē pe ʻae kau angahala ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.

3 But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.

Ka ʻe tuku ke fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni; ke nekeneka ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻIo, ke fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu.

4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,

Hiva ki he ʻOtua, hiva fakamālō ki hono huafa: fakaongoongolelei ia ʻoku hāʻele ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻi hono huafa ko SIHOVA, pea fiefia ʻi hono ʻao.

5 [who is] the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: [such is] God in his holy place.

Ko e tamai ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamai mate, mo e fakamaau ia ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ki he kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.

6 God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, [even] them that dwell in tombs.

‌ʻOku ʻai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae kau paea ʻi he ngaahi fale: ʻoku ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi: ka ʻoku nofo ʻae kau angatuʻu ʻi he fonua mōmoa.

7 O God, when you went forth before your people, when you went through the wilderness; (Pause)

‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻo muʻomuʻa atu ki ho kakai, ʻi hoʻo hāʻele ʻi he toafa; (Sila)

8 the earth quaked, yes, the heavens dropped [water] at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.

Naʻe ngalulu ʻa māmani, pea ngangana mo e ngaahi langi foki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻio, naʻe ngaueue ʻa Sainai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

9 O God, you will grant to your inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but you did refresh it.

‌ʻE ʻOtua, naʻa ke tuku hifo ʻae ʻuha lahi, ʻaia naʻa ke fakamālohi ʻaki ho tofiʻa, ʻi heʻene vaivai.

10 Your creatures dwell in it: you have in your goodness prepared for the poor.

Naʻe nofo ki ai ʻa ho kakai: ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke tokonaki ʻi hoʻo angalelei ki he masiva.

11 The Lord God will give a word to them that preach [it] in a great company.

Naʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae folofola pea naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe fakahā ia.

12 The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, [will] even [grant them] for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.

“Naʻe hola vave ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kautau:” pea naʻe tufa ʻae vete ʻe he fefine naʻe nofo ʻo leʻo.

13 Even if you should lie among the lots, [you shall have] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.

Neongo hoʻomou nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi kulo, ka temou hangē ko e kapakau ʻoe lupe ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva, mo hono fulufulu ko e koula melomelo.

14 When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon.

‌ʻI he veteki ʻi ai ʻe he Māfimafi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe hinehina ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina ʻi Salimoni.

15 The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.

Ko e moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani; ko e moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani,

16 Therefore do you conceive [evil], you swelling mountains? [this is] the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yes, the Lord will dwell [in it] for ever.

Ko e hā ʻoku mou hopohopo ai, ʻakimoutolu ko e ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga? Ko e moʻunga eni ʻoku fili ʻe he ʻOtua ke nofo ki ai; ʻio, ʻe nofo ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata.

17 The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place.

Ko e ngaahi saliote ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ua mano, ʻio, ko e ngaahi toko afe ʻoe ʻāngelo: ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻEiki, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi Sainai, ʻi he potu māʻoniʻoni.

18 You are gone up on high, you have led captivity captive, you have received gifts for man, yes, for [they were] rebellious, that you might dwell among them.

Kuo ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga, kuo u angatuʻu foki, koeʻuhi ke nofo kiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.

19 Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. (Pause)

Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia ʻoku ne hili kiate kitautolu ʻae kavenga ʻoe meʻa lelei ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hotau fakamoʻui. (Sila)

20 Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death.

Ko ia, ko hotau ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamoʻui; pea ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻae moʻui mei he mate.

21 But God shall crust the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.

Ka ʻe taaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻulu ʻo hono ngaahi fili, mo e tumuʻaki fulufulu ʻo ia ʻoku ʻalu pē ʻi heʻene ngaahi talangataʻa.

22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring [my people] again through the depths of the sea.

Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u toe ʻomi mei Pesani, te u toe ʻomi hoku kakai mei he loloto ʻo e ngaahi tahi.

23 That your foot may be dipped in blood, [and] the tongue of your dogs [be stained] with that of [your] enemies.

Koeʻuhi ke kulokula ho vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻo ho ngaahi fili, pea mo e ʻelelo ʻo hoʻo fanga kulī ʻi ai.”

24 Your goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary.

Kuo nau mamata ki ho ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga, ʻE ʻOtua; ʻio, ko e ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga ʻo hoku ʻOtua, mo hoku Tuʻi, ʻi he faletapu.

25 The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.

‌ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻae kau hiva, pea hoko mo e kau pulotu tā mālie ʻoe ngaahi meʻa faiva; pea ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau taʻahine ʻoku tā ʻae lali iiki.

26 Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel.

“Mou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi fakataha, ʻio, ki he ʻEiki, ʻakimoutolu mei he matavai ʻo ʻIsileli.”

27 There is Benjamin the younger [one] in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.

‌ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa Penisimani siʻi mo honau pule, ʻae houʻeiki ʻo Siuta mo ʻenau fakataha, mo e houʻeiki ʻo Sepuloni, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻo Nafitali.

28 O God, command you your strength: strengthen, O God, this which you have wrought in us.

Ko ho ʻOtua kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ho mālohi: ke ke fakamālohi, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kiate kimautolu.

29 Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to you.

Ko e meʻa ʻi ho faletapu ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe ʻomi ai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate koe.

30 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations [be rebuked], so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter you the nations that wish for wars.

Ke ke tautea ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao kaho, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoe fanga pulu tangata, mo e ngaahi ʻuhikiʻi pulu ʻoe kakai, ke ʻoua kenau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi konga siliva: ke ke veteki ʻae kakai ʻoku manako ki he tau.

31 Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten [to stretch out] her hand readily to God.

‌ʻE haʻu ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki mei ʻIsipite; ʻe mafao vave atu ʻae nima ʻo ʻItiopea ki he ʻOtua.

32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. (Pause)

‌ʻAe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani, mou hiva ki he ʻOtua; hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻEiki: (Sila)

33 Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: behold, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice.

Kiate ia ʻoku heka ki he langi ʻoe ngaahi langi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa pe; vakai, ʻoku ne fakaongo atu hono leʻo, pea ko e leʻo māfimafi ia.

34 Give you glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.

Mou tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae mālohi: ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ʻIsileli ʻa hono nāunau, mo ʻene māfimafi ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi.

35 God is wonderful in his holy [places], the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.

‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku fakamanavahē ko e ʻituʻa ʻi ho ngaahi faletapu: ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae mālohi mo e faʻa fai ki hono kakai. Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.
