Psalms 102
1 “A prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out before the Lord his complaint.” 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 on the day when I am distressed; incline unto me thy ear; on 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 vanish in smoke, and my bones are burning like 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 Struck [by heat] like the herb and dried up is my heart; 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 Because of the voice of my groaning 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 the pelican of the wilderness: I am become like the owl amid ruins.
ʻOku ou tatau mo e pelikani ʻoe toafa: ʻoku ou hangē ko e lulu ʻoe potu lala.
7 I watch, and I am become like a [night-]bird sitting alone upon the housetop.
ʻOku ou leʻo, pea u tatau mo e kihiʻi manupuna ʻoku tokotaha pē ʻi he tuʻahivi ʻoe fale.
8 All the day my enemies reproach me: they that mock me swear 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 ashes do I eat like bread, and my drink I mingle with weeping;
He kuo u kai ʻae efuefu ʻo hangē ko e mā, mo huʻi ʻaki hoku inu ʻae loʻimata,
10 Because of thy indignation and thy wrath; for thou hadst lifted me up, and hast cast me down.
Koeʻuhi ko ho tuputāmaki mo ho houhau: he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea lī au ki lalo.
11 My days are like a shadow that declineth; and like the herb I wither.
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, wilt sit enthroned for ever; and thy memorial 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 indeed arise; thou wilt have mercy upon Zion; for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time is coming.
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 hold dear her stones, and her very dust they cherish.
He ʻoku fiemālie ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono ngaahi maka, pea ʻoku nau ʻofa ki hono efu ʻoʻona.
15 Then shall nations 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 shalt have built up Zion, he appeareth 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 forsaken, and doth not despise their prayer.
Te ne tokanga ki he lotu ʻae masiva, pea ʻe ʻikai manukiʻi ʻenau hū.
18 This shall be written down for the latest generation; and the 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; the Lord hath cast from heaven his view to 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 sighing of the prisoner; to loosen those that are doomed to death:
Ke ne fanongo ki he toʻe ʻoe pōpula; ke vete ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate;
21 That men may proclaim in Zion the name of the Lord, and his praise in Jerusalem;
Ke fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi Saione, mo ʻene fakamālō ʻi Selūsalema;
22 When people are gathered together, and kingdoms, to serve the Lord.—
ʻOka fakataha ʻae kakai, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova.
23 He hath weakened on the way my strength; he hath shortened my days.
Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi hoku mālohi ʻi he hala; naʻa ne fakanounou hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
24 I will say, O my God! take me not away in the midst of my days: throughout all generations are thy years.
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 In olden times didst thou lay the foundations 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 These will indeed perish, but thou wilt ever exist: yea, all of them will wear out like a garment; as a vesture wilt thou change them, and they will be changed;
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 ever the same, and thy years will 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 will dwell [securely], and their seed will be firmly established before thee.
ʻE tolonga ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu honau hako ʻi ho ʻao.
