Psalms 69
1 To the chief Musician. Upon Shoshannim. [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Sosanimi, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; he kuo hū ki loto ʻae ngaahi vai ki hoku laumālie.
2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of waters, and the flood overfloweth me.
ʻOku ou ngalo hifo ʻi he pela loloto, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke tuʻu ai: kuo u hoko ki he vai loloto, pea ʻoku lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi.
3 I am weary with my crying, my throat is parched; mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku tangi: kuo mōmoa hoku kia: ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi hoku mata ʻi heʻeku tatali ki hoku ʻOtua.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻoku nau tokolahi hake ʻi he tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko kinautolu ʻoku loto ke fakaʻauha au, ʻaia ko hoku ngaahi fili taʻetotonu, ʻoku nau mālohi; pea ne u toki ʻange ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻave.
5 Thou, O God, knowest my foolishness, and my trespasses are not hidden from thee.
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku vale; pea ʻoku ʻikai lilo ʻiate koe ʻeku ngaahi angahala.
6 Let not them that wait on thee, Lord, Jehovah of hosts, be ashamed through me; let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.
ʻE ʻEiki Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatali kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au: ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au.
7 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u kātaki ai ʻae lauʻikovi; kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hoku mata ʻae mā.
8 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's sons;
Kuo u hoko ko e muli ki hoku ngaahi kāinga, mo e ʻāuhe ki he fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē.
9 For the zeal of thy house hath devoured me, and the reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
He kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi he fai feinga ki ho fale; pea ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe kuo tō kiate au.
10 And I wept, my soul was fasting: that also was to my reproach; —
ʻI heʻeku tangi, ʻo tautea hoku laumālie ʻaki ʻae ʻaukai, naʻe manukiʻi ai au.
11 And I made sackcloth my garment: then I became a proverb to them.
Naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa; pea ne u hoko ko honau lumaʻanga.
12 They that sit in the gate talk of me, and [I am] the song of the drunkards.
ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā; pea ʻoku hiva ʻaki au ʻe he kau konā ʻi he kava.
13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, Jehovah, in an acceptable time: O God, in the abundance of thy loving-kindness answer me, according to the truth of thy salvation:
Ka ko au, ʻE Sihova, ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu ʻi he ʻaho tuʻumālie: ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo kiate au ʻi hono lahi fau ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻi hono moʻoni ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui.
14 Deliver me out of the mire, let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the depths of waters.
Fakamoʻui au mei he pela, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u ngalo hifo: tuku ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi vai loloto.
15 Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.
ʻOua naʻa tuku ke lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi, pea ʻoua naʻa folo hifo au ʻe he loloto, pea ʻoua naʻa tāpuni ʻe he luo hono ngutu kiate au.
16 Answer me, O Jehovah; for thy loving-kindness is good: according to the abundance of thy tender mercies, turn toward me;
Fanongo kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku lelei hoʻo manavaʻofa: ke ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant, for I am in trouble: answer me speedily.
Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ou mamahi: fanongo vave kiate au:
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, be its redeemer; ransom me because of mine enemies.
Ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki hoku laumālie, pea huhuʻi ia: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
19 Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
Kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku lauʻikovi, mo ʻeku mā, mo hoku manukia: ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am overwhelmed: and I looked for sympathy, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Kuo fesiʻi hoku loto ʻe he lauʻikovi pea kuo u fonu ʻi he mamahi: pea naʻaku kumi ki ha niʻihi ke ʻofa mai, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha; mo e kau fakafiemālie, tā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha taha.
21 Yea, they gave me gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Naʻa nau foaki foki kiate au ʻae ʻahu ko ʻeku meʻakai; pea ʻi heʻeku fieinu naʻa nau tuku mai ʻae vaimahi ke u inu.
22 Let their table become a snare before them, and their very welfare a trap;
Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele ʻi honau ʻao: mo ia naʻe totonu kenau lelei ai, ke hoko ia ko e tauhele.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not, and make their loins continually to shake.
Ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata; pea ke tetetete maʻuaipē honau kongaloto.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of thine anger take hold of them.
Te ke lilingi ho houhau kiate kinautolu, pea puke ʻakinautolu ʻe ho houhau vela.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; let there be no dweller in their tents.
Tuku ke lala honau nofoʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ha tokotaha ʻi honau fale fehikitaki.
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten, and they talk for the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
He ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi ia ʻaia kuo ke taaʻi; pea ʻoku nau talanoa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo ke tautea.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity, and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Fakalahi ʻaki ʻae nunuʻa ʻoe hia ki heʻenau hia: pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.
Tuku ke tāmateʻi mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi fakataha ʻakinautolu mo e kau māʻoniʻoni.
29 But I am afflicted and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me secure on high.
Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi: ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ke hiki ki ʻolunga au ʻe hoʻo fakamoʻui.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving;
Teu fakamālō ki he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae hiva, pea te u hiki hake ia ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
31 And it shall please Jehovah more than an ox, — a bullock with horns and cloven hoofs.
Pea ʻe fiemālie lahi hake ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni, ʻi he pulu tangata pe ko e pulu ʻoku ai hono nifo mo e ngeʻesi vaʻe.
32 The meek shall see it, they shall be glad; ye that seek God, your heart shall live.
ʻE mamata ki he meʻa ni ʻae angavaivai, pea fiefia ai: pea ʻe moʻui homou loto ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
33 For Jehovah heareth the needy, and despiseth not his prisoners.
He ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ʻene kau pōpula.
34 Let heavens and earth praise him; the seas, and everything that moveth therein.
Tuku ke fakamālō kiate ia ʻae langi mo māmani, ʻae ngaahi tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi ai.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah; and they shall dwell there, and possess it:
Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Saione, pea langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: koeʻuhi ke nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻo maʻu ia ko honau tofiʻa.
36 And the seed of his servants shall inherit it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
ʻE maʻu foki ia ʻe he hako ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hono huafa.
