Psalms 36
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova. ʻOku lea ʻae talangataʻa ʻae angakovi ki hoku loto, “ʻoku ʻikai ha manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻao.”
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.
He ʻoku ne fakaholoholoʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi hono ʻao, ke ʻoua ke hoko ʻo hā mai ʻae kovi ʻo ʻene hia.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu ko e kovi mo e kākā: kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻene poto mo e fai lelei.
4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.
ʻOku ne fifili ki he pauʻu ʻi hono mohenga; ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ia ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei; ʻoku ʻikai te ne fehiʻa ki he kovi.
5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
Ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi; pea ʻoku aʻu hake hoʻo angatonu ki he ngaahi ʻao.
6 Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast.
Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua; ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ko e fuʻu moana; ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻae tangata mo e manu.
7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga fau ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa! Ko ia ʻoku falala ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
Te nau fonu lahi ʻi he mahu lelei ʻo ho fale; pea te ke fakainu ʻakinautolu ʻi he vaitafe ʻo hoʻo fiemālie.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
He ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae matavai ʻoe moʻui: temau mamata ʻi hoʻo maama ki he maama.
10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;
Ke tuʻumaʻu pe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo koe; mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he angatonu ʻi loto.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
ʻOua naʻa hoko kiate au ʻae vaʻe ʻoe laukau, pea ʻoua naʻa hiki au ʻe he nima ʻoe angakovi.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise.
Kuo hinga ʻi ai ʻae kau fai kovi: kuo lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tuʻu hake.
