1 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.
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 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.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Ka ʻe tuku ke fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni; ke nekeneka ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻIo, ke fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻakinautolu.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 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.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Yah, and rejoice before him.
5 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.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 ‌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.
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻo muʻomuʻa atu ki ho kakai, ʻi hoʻo hāʻele ʻi he toafa; (Sila)
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 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.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 ‌ʻE ʻOtua, naʻa ke tuku hifo ʻae ʻuha lahi, ʻaia naʻa ke fakamālohi ʻaki ho tofiʻa, ʻi heʻene vaivai.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Naʻe nofo ki ai ʻa ho kakai: ʻE ʻOtua, kuo ke tokonaki ʻi hoʻo angalelei ki he masiva.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Naʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae folofola pea naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe fakahā ia.
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 “Naʻe hola vave ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe kautau:” pea naʻe tufa ʻae vete ʻe he fefine naʻe nofo ʻo leʻo.
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 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.
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 ‌ʻI he veteki ʻi ai ʻe he Māfimafi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, naʻe hinehina ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina ʻi Salimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Ko e moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani; ko e moʻunga māʻolunga ʻo hangē ko e moʻunga ko Pesani,
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 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.
Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, Yhwh will dwell in it for ever.
17 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.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Kuo ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga, kuo u angatuʻu foki, koeʻuhi ke nofo kiate kinautolu ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that Yah God might dwell among them.
19 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)
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Ko ia, ko hotau ʻOtua ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamoʻui; pea ʻoku ʻia Sihova ko e ʻEiki ʻae moʻui mei he mate.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto Yhwh the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 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.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u toe ʻomi mei Pesani, te u toe ʻomi hoku kakai mei he loloto ʻo e ngaahi tahi.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 Koeʻuhi ke kulokula ho vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻo ho ngaahi fili, pea mo e ʻelelo ʻo hoʻo fanga kulī ʻi ai.”
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
24 Kuo nau mamata ki ho ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga, ʻE ʻOtua; ʻio, ko e ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga ʻo hoku ʻOtua, mo hoku Tuʻi, ʻi he faletapu.
They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 ‌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.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 “Mou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi fakataha, ʻio, ki he ʻEiki, ʻakimoutolu mei he matavai ʻo ʻIsileli.”
Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 ‌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.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Ko ho ʻOtua kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ho mālohi: ke ke fakamālohi, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ke fai kiate kimautolu.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Ko e meʻa ʻi ho faletapu ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe ʻomi ai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate koe.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
30 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.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 ‌ʻE haʻu ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki mei ʻIsipite; ʻe mafao vave atu ʻae nima ʻo ʻItiopea ki he ʻOtua.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 ‌ʻAe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani, mou hiva ki he ʻOtua; hiva ʻaki ʻae fakamālō ki he ʻEiki: (Sila)
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
33 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.
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Mou tuku ki he ʻOtua ʻae mālohi: ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ʻIsileli ʻa hono nāunau, mo ʻene māfimafi ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 ‌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.
O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
