Psalms 109
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Holde not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku fakamālō, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;
2 For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceite are opened vpon me: they haue spoken to me with a lying tongue.
He kuo mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe angahala mo e ngutu ʻoe kākā kiate au: kuo nau lea kovi kiate au ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo loi.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
Naʻa nau kāpui foki au ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taufehiʻa; mo nau tauʻi au taʻehanoʻuhinga.
4 For my friendship they were mine aduersaries, but I gaue my selfe to praier.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili: ka te u hangahanga lotu pe au.
5 And they haue rewarded me euil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
Pea kuo nau totongi ʻaki kiate au ʻae kovi ki he lelei, mo e fehiʻa ki heʻeku ʻofa.
6 Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.
Ke ke fakanofo ʻae tangata angakovi ke pule kiate ia: pea tuku ke tuʻu ʻa Sētane ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu.
7 Whe he shalbe iudged, let him be condemned, and let his praier be turned into sinne.
ʻOka fakamaau ia, tuku ke halaia ia pea tuku ke hoko ʻene lotu ko e angahala.
8 Let his daies be fewe, and let another take his charge.
Tuku ke siʻi pē hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea ke maʻu ʻe ha taha kehe ʻene ngāue.
9 Let his children be fatherlesse, and his wife a widowe.
Tuku ke tamai mate ʻene fānau, pea hoko ʻa hono uaifi ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
10 Let his children be vagabonds and beg and seeke bread, comming out of their places destroyed.
Tuku ke ne maʻuaipē ʻene fānau, mo kole: pea tuku kenau kumi foki ʻenau mā mei honau ngaahi potu ʻoku lala.
11 Let the extortioner catch al that he hath, and let the strangers spoile his labour.
Tuku ke maʻu ʻe he fakamālohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; pea maumauʻi ʻe he kau muli ʻene ngāue.
12 Let there be none to extend mercie vnto him: neither let there be any to shewe mercie vpon his fatherlesse children.
ʻOua naʻa tuku ha taha ke manavaʻofa kiate ia: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha taha ke ʻofa ki heʻene fānau ʻoku tamai mate.
13 Let his posteritie be destroied, and in the generation following let their name be put out.
Tuku ke tuʻusi hono hako; pea ʻi he toʻutangata ʻe haʻu tuku ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa.
14 Let the iniquitie of his fathers bee had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.
Ke manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ʻae angahala ʻa ʻene faʻē.
15 But let them alway be before the Lord, that he may cut off their memorial from ye earth.
Tuku maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne tuʻusi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
16 Because he remembred not to shew mercie, but persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and the sorowfull hearted to slay him.
Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻe ia ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa, ka naʻa ne fakatanga ʻae tangata masiva mo paea, koeʻuhi ke ne tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku mafesi hono loto.
17 As he loued cursing, so shall it come vnto him, and as he loued not blessing, so shall it be farre from him.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa ki he kapekape, ko ia ke hoko ia kiate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻefiefia ʻi he tāpuaki, ko ia ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate ia.
18 As he clothed himselfe with cursing like a rayment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kape ʻo hangē ko e kofu, ko ia ke hoko ia ki hono kete ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea hangē ko e lolo ki hono ngaahi hui.
19 Let it be vnto him as a garment to couer him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shalbe alway girded.
Ke tatau ia kiate ia mo e kofu ʻaia ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia, pea mo e noʻo ʻaia ʻoku nonoʻo ʻaki maʻuaipē ia.
20 Let this be the rewarde of mine aduersarie from the Lord, and of them, that speake euill against my soule.
Tuku eni ko e totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili meia Sihova, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ki hoku laumālie.
21 But thou, O Lord my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)
Ka ke fai ʻe koe maʻaku, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ke ke fakamoʻui au.
22 Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.
He ʻoku ou masiva mo paea, pea kuo lavea hoku loto ʻiate au.
23 I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.
Kuo u mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata ʻoka fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ia: kuo feʻaveʻaki au ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe.
24 My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.
ʻOku vaivai hoku tui ʻi he ʻaukai: pea kuo mole ʻae sino ʻo hoku kakano.
25 I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.
Ne u hoko foki ko e manukiʻanga kiate kinautolu: ʻi heʻenau sio mai kiate au, naʻa nau kalokalo honau ʻulu.
26 Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.
Tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa:
27 And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.
Koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko ho nima eni; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ia.
28 Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.
Tuku kenau kape, ka ke fakamonūʻia ʻe koe: ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake, tuku ke nau mā; kae tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
29 Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
Tuku ke kofu ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae mā, pea tuku kenau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau puputuʻu, ʻo hangē ko e pulupulu.
30 I will giue thankes vnto the Lord greatly with my mouth and praise him among ye multitude.
Te u fakamālō lahi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku ngutu; ʻio, te u fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tokolahi.
31 For he will stand at the right hand of the poore, to saue him from them that woulde condemne his soule.
Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe masiva, ke fakamoʻui ia meiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahalaia hono laumālie.
