Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voyce and my prayers.
ʻOku ou ʻofa kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
2 For he hath inclined his eare vnto me, whe I did call vpon him in my dayes.
Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakatokangaʻi hono fofonga kiate au, ko ia te u ui ai ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
3 When the snares of death copassed me, and the griefes of the graue caught me: when I founde trouble and sorowe. (Sheol h7585)
Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, pea naʻe puke au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻo heli: naʻaku ʻilo ai ʻae tuʻutāmaki mo e mamahi. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called vpon the Name of the Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, deliuer my soule.
Pea naʻaku toki ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie.”
5 The Lord is mercifull and righteous, and our God is full of compassion.
ʻOku manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova, mo māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻOtua.
6 The Lord preserueth the simple: I was in miserie and he saued me.
ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae taʻekākā: naʻaku vaivai pea naʻa ne tokoniʻi au.
7 Returne vnto thy rest, O my soule: for the Lord hath bene beneficiall vnto thee,
ʻE hoku laumālie, ke ke foki ki ho mālōlōʻanga; he kuo lahi ʻae foaki ʻa Sihova kiate koe.
8 Because thou hast deliuered my soule from death, mine eyes from teares, and my feete from falling.
He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate, mo hoku mata mei he loʻimata, mo hoku vaʻe ke ʻoua naʻa hinga.
9 I shall walke before the Lord in the lande of the liuing.
Te u ʻeveʻeva, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
10 I beleeued, therefore did I speake: for I was sore troubled.
Naʻaku tui, ko ia kuo u lea ai: “Naʻaku mahaki lahi:”
11 I said in my feare, All men are lyers.
Naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “ʻOku loi ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
12 What shall I render vnto the Lord for all his benefites toward me?
Ko e hā te u ʻatu kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē kiate au?
13 I will take the cup of saluation, and call vpon the Name of the Lord.
Te u toʻo ʻae ipu ʻoe fakamoʻui, pea te u ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
14 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people.
Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saintes.
ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae pekia ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
16 Beholde, Lord: for I am thy seruant, I am thy seruant, and the sonne of thine handmaide: thou hast broken my bondes.
ʻE Sihova, ko e moʻoni ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au, mo e tama ʻa hoʻo kaunanga: kuo ke vete hoku ngaahi haʻi.
17 I will offer to thee a sacrifice of prayse, and will call vpon the Name of the Lord.
Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
18 I will pay my vowes vnto the Lord, euen nowe in the presence of all his people,
Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē,
19 In the courtes of ye Lords house, euen in the middes of thee, O Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
ʻI he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻE Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
