Psalms 109
1 “To the chief musician, by David, a psalm.” O God of my praise, do not keep silence.
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 of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken with me with the tongue of falsehood.
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 Also with words of hatred have they encompassed me, and they fight against me without a cause.
Naʻa nau kāpui foki au ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taufehiʻa; mo nau tauʻi au taʻehanoʻuhinga.
4 In recompense for my love are they my accusers, while I have nothing but prayer.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili: ka te u hangahanga lotu pe au.
5 And they impose evil on me in recompense for good, and hatred in lieu of my love.
Pea kuo nau totongi ʻaki kiate au ʻae kovi ki he lelei, mo e fehiʻa ki heʻeku ʻofa.
6 Appoint thou a wicked man over him: and let an accuser 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 When he is to be judged, let him go forth guilty, and let his prayer become sin.
ʻOka fakamaau ia, tuku ke halaia ia pea tuku ke hoko ʻene lotu ko e angahala.
8 Let his days be few, and let another take his office.
Tuku ke siʻi pē hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea ke maʻu ʻe ha taha kehe ʻene ngāue.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
Tuku ke tamai mate ʻene fānau, pea hoko ʻa hono uaifi ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
10 Let his children be continually moving about, and beg, and let them seek [their bread] out of their ruined places.
Tuku ke ne maʻuaipē ʻene fānau, mo kole: pea tuku kenau kumi foki ʻenau mā mei honau ngaahi potu ʻoku lala.
11 Let the creditor lay snares after all that he hath, and let strangers plunder his labor.
Tuku ke maʻu ʻe he fakamālohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; pea maumauʻi ʻe he kau muli ʻene ngāue.
12 Let him have none that extendeth kindness, and let there be none that is gracious to his fatherless 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 posterity be cut off: in another generation let their name be blotted out.
Tuku ke tuʻusi hono hako; pea ʻi he toʻutangata ʻe haʻu tuku ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the Lord, and let the sin of his mother not be blotted out.
Ke manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ʻae angahala ʻa ʻene faʻē.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off from the earth their memory.
Tuku maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne tuʻusi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
16 For the reason that he remembered not to show kindness; but persecuted the poor and needy man, and the grieved in heart to put him to death.
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 loved cursing, so let it come over him: and as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far 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 And he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, and it cometh like water within him, and like oil 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 unto him as a garment in which he wrappeth himself, and for a girdle let him be continually girded with it.
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 reward of my accusers from the Lord, and of those that speak evil against my soul.
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 Eternal Lord, deal with me for the sake of thy name: because thy kindness is good, deliver thou me.
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 For poor and needy am I, and my heart is deeply wounded within me.
He ʻoku ou masiva mo paea, pea kuo lavea hoku loto ʻiate au.
23 Like the shadow when it declineth do I hasten away: I am driven suddenly off like the locusts.
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 stumble through fasting, and my flesh faileth of fatness.
ʻOku vaivai hoku tui ʻi he ʻaukai: pea kuo mole ʻae sino ʻo hoku kakano.
25 And I am become a reproach unto them: when they see me, they shake their head.
Ne u hoko foki ko e manukiʻanga kiate kinautolu: ʻi heʻenau sio mai kiate au, naʻa nau kalokalo honau ʻulu.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy kindness:
Tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand: that thou, Lord, hast truly done it.
Koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko ho nima eni; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ia.
28 Let them then curse, but do thou bless: when they arise, let them be made ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
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 my accusers be clothed with confusion, and let them wrap themselves, as with a mantle, in their own shame.
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 thank the Lord greatly with my mouth, and in the midst of many will I praise him.
Te u fakamālō lahi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku ngutu; ʻio, te u fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tokolahi.
31 For he ever standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe masiva, ke fakamoʻui ia meiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahalaia hono laumālie.
