Psalms 83

1 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. God, do not keep silent. Do not keep silent, and do not be still, God.

Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻafioʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke nofo pē.

2 For, behold, your enemies are stirred up. Those who hate you have lifted up their heads.

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

3 They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

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

4 “Come,” they say, “let’s destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

Naʻa 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.”

5 For they have conspired together with one mind. They form an alliance against you.

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

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

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

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

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

8 Assyria also is joined with them. They have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)

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

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the river Kishon;

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

10 who perished at Endor, who became as dung for the earth.

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

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

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

12 who said, “Let’s take possession of God’s pasture lands.”

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

13 My God, make them like tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind.

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

14 As the fire that burns the forest, as the flame that sets the mountains on fire,

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

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

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

16 Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek your name, LORD.

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

17 Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;

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

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

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