Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.
Ko e Lotu ʻae mamahi ʻi hono lōmekina, pea ne lilingi ʻene mamahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. ʻE Sihova, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, pea tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi kiate koe.
2 Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.
ʻOua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou mamahi ai; fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au: ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou ui ai ke vave hoʻo talia au.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.
He kuo fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko e kohu, pea kuo vela hoku ngaahi hui ʻo hangē ko e veʻe tofunanga.
4 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.
Kuo taaʻi hoku loto, pea kuo mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku; ko ia kuo ngalo ai ʻiate au ke kai ʻeku mā.
5 By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.
Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ʻeku toʻe, ko ia ʻoku piki ai hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili.
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
ʻOku ou tatau mo e pelikani ʻoe toafa: ʻoku ou hangē ko e lulu ʻoe potu lala.
7 I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.
ʻOku ou leʻo, pea u tatau mo e kihiʻi manupuna ʻoku tokotaha pē ʻi he tuʻahivi ʻoe fale.
8 Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.
ʻOku manuki kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku mata lili kiate au kuo nau fuakava ke angatuʻu kiate au.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
He kuo u kai ʻae efuefu ʻo hangē ko e mā, mo huʻi ʻaki hoku inu ʻae loʻimata,
10 Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
Koeʻuhi ko ho tuputāmaki mo ho houhau: he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea lī au ki lalo.
11 My days are like a lengthening shadow; and I am withered like grass.
ʻOku tatau hoku ngaahi ʻaho mo e ʻata ʻoku mole atu; pea kuo u mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku.
12 But Thou, O LORD, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tolonga ʻo taʻengata; mo hoʻo fakaʻilonga ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
13 Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.
Te ke tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻaloʻofa ki Saione: he ko e ʻaho ke tokoni ia, ʻio, ko e ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni kuo hoko mai.
14 For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.
He ʻoku fiemālie ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono ngaahi maka, pea ʻoku nau ʻofa ki hono efu ʻoʻona.
15 So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;
Ko ia ʻe manavahē ai ʻae hiteni ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho nāunau.
16 When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;
ʻOka toe langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, ʻe fakahā ia ʻi hono nāunau.
17 When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer.
Te ne tokanga ki he lotu ʻae masiva, pea ʻe ʻikai manukiʻi ʻenau hū.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
ʻE tohi eni maʻae toʻutangata ʻe haʻu: pea ko e kakai ʻe fakatupu te nau fakamālō kia Sihova.
19 For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
He kuo ʻafio hifo ia mei he māʻolunga ʻo hono faletapu; naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi ki māmani;
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
Ke ne fanongo ki he toʻe ʻoe pōpula; ke vete ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate;
21 That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;
Ke fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi Saione, mo ʻene fakamālō ʻi Selūsalema;
22 When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
ʻOka fakataha ʻae kakai, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova.
23 He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi hoku mālohi ʻi he hala; naʻa ne fakanounou hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
24 I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.
Naʻaku pehē, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ʻave au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho: ko ho ngaahi taʻu ʻoku tolonga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
25 Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
Naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi koe ngaue ia ʻa ho nima.
26 They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall pass away;
ʻE ʻauha ia, ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, ʻio, ʻe fakaʻaʻau kotoa pē ia ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu; pea hangē ko e pulupulu te ke fatufatu ia, pea ʻe fakakehe ia:
27 But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.
Ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi taʻu.
28 The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'
ʻE tolonga ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu honau hako ʻi ho ʻao.
