Psalms 55
1 Unto the end, in verses, understanding for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication:
Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. Fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE ʻotua; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū koe mei heʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
2 Be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled,
ʻAfio mai kiate au, mo ke ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou lāunga ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea tangi kalanga;
3 At the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻoe fili, koeʻuhi ko e taʻomia ʻe he kau angakovi: he kuo nau tuku ʻae hia kiate au, pea ʻi he ʻita ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.
4 My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
ʻOku mamahi lahi hoku loto ʻiate au: pea kuo tō kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻoe mate.
5 Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.
Kuo hoko kiate au ʻae manavahē mo e tetetete, pea kuo lōmakiʻi au ʻe he lilika.
6 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I will fly and be at rest?
Pea naʻaku pehē, Taumaiā ke u maʻu ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e lupe! Koeʻuhi ke u puna atu, pea fiemālie ai.
7 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in the wilderness.
Vakai, te u ʻalu ʻo hē ki he mamaʻo, pea u nofo ʻi he toafa. (Sila)
8 I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
Te u ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo hao mei he matangi lahi mo e afā.
9 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
Fakaʻauha, ʻE Sihova, pea vahevahe honau ʻelelo: he naʻaku mamata ki he fakamālohi mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he kolo.
10 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
ʻOku nau ʻalu fano ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻo ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: ʻoku ʻi loto ʻi ai ʻae pauʻu mo e mamahi.
11 And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae kovi: ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻi mei hono ngaahi hala ʻae fakamālohi mo e kākā.
12 For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
He naʻe ʻikai ko ha fili ʻaia naʻa ne lauʻikoviʻi au; ka ne pehē, te u faʻa kātaki ia: pea naʻe ʻikai ko ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate au ʻaia kuo hiki hake ia kiate au ka ne pehē, te u faʻa fufū au meiate ia.
13 But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
Ka ko koe ia, ko e tangata ʻoku ta tatau, ko hoku fakahinohino, mo hoku kaumeʻa.
14 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
Naʻa ta alea lelei mo au, pea ʻalu fakataha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻe he mate, pea tuku ke ʻalu vave hifo ʻakinautolu ki hētesi: he ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kovi. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
Ka ko au te u ui ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻe fakamoʻui au ʻe Sihova.
17 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu, mo tangi leʻo lahi: pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
18 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
Kuo ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie ʻi he melino mei he tau naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au: he naʻe ʻiate au ʻae tokolahi.
19 God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
ʻE ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio talu mei muʻa, pea te ne tautea ʻakinautolu. (Sila) Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau feliliuʻaki, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē ai ki he ʻOtua.
20 He hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have defiled his covenant,
Naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻe nonofo ʻi he melino mo ia: kuo maumauʻi ʻe ia ʻene fuakava.
21 They are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.
Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu naʻe molemole lahi hake ʻi he pota, ka naʻe ʻi hono loto ʻae tau: naʻe molū lahi ʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he lolo, ka ko e moʻoni ko e ngaahi heletā ia kuo unuhi.
22 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
Ke ke tuku hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, pea te ne poupou koe: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tuku ke ngaue ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee, O Lord.
Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻOtua te ke ʻohifo ʻakinautolu ki he luo ʻoe fakaʻauha: ko e kau tangata pani toto mo ngāue kākā ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻusia hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi ʻaho; ka te u falala kiate koe.
