Psalms 102
1 A PRAYER OF THE AFFLICTED WHEN HE IS FEEBLE, AND POURS OUT HIS COMPLAINT BEFORE YHWH. O YHWH, hear my prayer, indeed, my cry comes to You.
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 Do not hide Your face from me, In a day of my adversity, Incline Your ear to me, In the day I call, hurry, answer me.
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 have been consumed in smoke, And my bones have burned as a firebrand.
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 as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten 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 From the voice of my sighing My bone has cleaved to my flesh.
Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ʻeku toʻe, ko ia ʻoku piki ai hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili.
6 I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
ʻOku ou tatau mo e pelikani ʻoe toafa: ʻoku ou hangē ko e lulu ʻoe potu lala.
7 I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
ʻOku ou leʻo, pea u tatau mo e kihiʻi manupuna ʻoku tokotaha pē ʻi he tuʻahivi ʻoe fale.
8 All the day my enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against 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 Because I have eaten ashes as bread, And have mingled my drink with weeping,
He kuo u kai ʻae efuefu ʻo hangē ko e mā, mo huʻi ʻaki hoku inu ʻae loʻimata,
10 From Your indignation and Your wrath, For You have lifted me up, And 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] stretched out as a shadow, And I am withered as the herb.
ʻOku tatau hoku ngaahi ʻaho mo e ʻata ʻoku mole atu; pea kuo u mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku.
12 And You, O YHWH, abide for all time, And Your memorial from generation to generation.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tolonga ʻo taʻengata; mo hoʻo fakaʻilonga ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
13 You rise—You pity Zion, For the time to favor her, For the appointed time has 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 Your servants have been pleased with her stones, And they favor her dust.
He ʻoku fiemālie ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono ngaahi maka, pea ʻoku nau ʻofa ki hono efu ʻoʻona.
15 And nations fear the Name of YHWH, And all kings of the earth Your 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 For YHWH has built Zion, He has been seen in His glory,
ʻOka toe langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, ʻe fakahā ia ʻi hono nāunau.
17 He turned to the prayer of the destitute, And He has not despised their prayer.
Te ne tokanga ki he lotu ʻae masiva, pea ʻe ʻikai manukiʻi ʻenau hū.
18 This is written for a later generation, And the people created praise YAH.
ʻE tohi eni maʻae toʻutangata ʻe haʻu: pea ko e kakai ʻe fakatupu te nau fakamālō kia Sihova.
19 For He has looked From the high place of His sanctuary. YHWH looked attentively from the heavens to 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 groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
Ke ne fanongo ki he toʻe ʻoe pōpula; ke vete ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate;
21 To declare in Zion the Name of YHWH, And His praise in Jerusalem,
Ke fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi Saione, mo ʻene fakamālō ʻi Selūsalema;
22 In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms—to serve YHWH.
ʻOka fakataha ʻae kakai, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova.
23 He has humbled my power in the way, He has shortened my days.
Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi hoku mālohi ʻi he hala; naʻa ne fakanounou hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
24 I say, “My God, do not take me up in the midst of my days,” Your years [are] through 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 You founded the earth before time, And the heavens [are] the work of Your hands.
Naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi koe ngaue ia ʻa ho nima.
26 They perish, and You remain, And all of them become old as a garment, You change them as clothing, And they are 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 And You [are] the same, and Your years are not finished.
Ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi taʻu.
28 The sons of Your servants continue, And their seed is established before You!
ʻE tolonga ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu honau hako ʻi ho ʻao.
