Psalms 44
1 Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, toward understanding. We have heard, O God, with our own ears. Our fathers have announced to us the work that you wrought in their days and in the days of antiquity.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e akonaki ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola. ʻE ʻOtua, naʻa mau fanongo ʻaki homau telinga, pea kuo tala kiate kimautolu ʻe heʻemau ngaahi tamai, ʻae ngāue naʻa ke fai ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaho, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa.
2 Your hand dispersed the Gentiles, and you transplanted them. You afflicted a people, and you expelled them.
Naʻa ke kapusi kituʻa ʻae hiteni ʻaki ho nima, mo ke tō ʻakinautolu: naʻa ke tautea ʻae kakai, pea mafola atu ʻakinautolu.
3 For they did not take possession of the land by their sword, and their own arm did not save them. But your right hand and your arm, and the light of your countenance did so, because you were pleased with them.
He naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻae fonua ʻi he heletā ʻanautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻe honau nima: ka ko ho ʻaofi nima, mo ho nima toʻomataʻu, mo e maama ʻo ho fofonga, koeʻuhi naʻa ke ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
4 You yourself are my king and my God, who commands the salvation of Jacob.
He ko koe ko hoku Tuʻi, ʻE ʻOtua ke ke fekau ʻae fakamoʻui kia Sēkope.
5 With you, we will brandish a horn before our enemies; and in your name, we will spurn those rising up against us.
Ko e meʻa ʻiate koe temau tulaki homau ngaahi fili: ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa temau malamalaki ki lalo ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate kimautolu.
6 For I will not hope in my bow, and my sword will not save me.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u falala ki heʻeku kaufana, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui au ʻe heʻeku heletā.
7 For you have saved us from those who afflict us, and you have bewildered those who hate us.
Ka ko koe kuo ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei homau ngaahi fili, pea kuo ke tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kimautolu.
8 In God, we will give praise all day long; and in your name, we will confess forever.
ʻOku mau vikiviki ʻi he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, ʻo fakamālō ki ho huafa ʻo taʻengata. (Sila)
9 But now, you have rejected and bewildered us, and you will not go forth with our armies, O God.
Ka kuo ke liʻaki, pea tuku ke mā ʻakimautolu; pea ʻikai te ke ʻalu atu mo ʻemau ngaahi kongakau.
10 You have turned our back to our enemies, and those who hated us have plundered for themselves.
ʻOku ke pule ke mau foki mai mei he fili: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimautolu ʻoku nau maumau maʻanautolu.
11 You have given us over like sheep for food. You have scattered us among the Gentiles.
Kuo ke foaki ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi kuo fili ki he kai; pea kuo ke fakahēʻi ʻakimautolu ki he hiteni.
12 You have sold your people without a price, and no great number was exchanged for them.
ʻOku ke fakatau hoʻo kakai taʻehatotongi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fakalahi hoʻo koloa ʻaki honau totongi.
13 You have set us as a disgrace to our neighbors, a scoff and a derision to those who are around us.
ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻakimautolu ko e manukiʻanga ʻo homau ngaahi kaungāʻapi, ko e meʻa manuki mo e taukaeʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate kimautolu.
14 You have set us as a parable among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
ʻOku ke ngaohi ʻakimautolu ko e lumaʻanga ʻoe hiteni, ko e kalokaloʻanga ʻoe ʻulu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
15 All day long my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
ʻOku ʻi hoku ʻao maʻuaipē ʻeku kovi, pea kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki au ʻae mā ʻo hoku mata,
16 before the voice of the reproacher and the commentator, before the face of the adversary and the pursuer.
Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ia ʻoku ne taukae mo kape; ko e meʻa ʻi he fili mo e fakafāsifasi.
17 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you, and we have not acted unjustly in your covenant.
Kuo hoko ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai te mau fakangalongaloʻi koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau fai kākā ʻi hoʻo fuakava.
18 And our heart has not turned back. And you have not diverted our steps from your way.
ʻOku ʻikai foki kimui homau loto, pe afe mei ho hala homau ʻaluʻanga;
19 For you humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
Kuo ke fesifesi ʻakimautolu ʻi he potu ʻoe fanga talākoni, mo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻae ʻata ʻoe mate.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have extended our hands to a foreign god,
Kapau kuo mau fakangaloʻi ʻae huafa ʻo homau ʻOtua, pe mafao atu homau nima ki ha ʻotua kehe;
21 will not God find this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
ʻIkai ʻe ʻeke ia ʻe he ʻOtua? He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻoe loto.
22 For, because of you, we are being killed all day long. We are considered as sheep for the slaughter.
ʻIo, koeʻuhi ko koe ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; ʻoku lau ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ke tāmateʻi.
23 Rise up. Why do you fall asleep, O Lord? Rise up, and do not reject us in the end.
Ke ke ʻā, ko e hā ʻoku ke mohe ai, ʻE Sihova? Tuʻu hake, ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata.
24 Why do you turn your face away, and why do you forget our needfulness and our tribulation?
Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga, ʻo fakangaloʻi homau tautea mo homau taʻomia?
25 For our soul has been humbled into the dust. Our belly has been bound to the earth.
He kuo lolohifo homau laumālie ki he efu: kuo hiki homau kete ki he kelekele.
26 Rise up, O Lord. Help us and redeem us, because of your name.
Tuʻu hake ko homau tokoni, pea huhuʻi ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
