< Psalms 139 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH, You have searched me, and know.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, pea kuo ke ʻiloʻi au.
2 You have known my sitting down, And my rising up, You have attended to my thoughts from afar.
‌ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku nofo hifo mo ʻeku tuʻu hake, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
3 You have fanned my path and my lying down, And have been acquainted [with] all my ways.
‌ʻOku ke ʻāʻi hoku hala mo hoku tokotoʻanga, pea ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi hoku hala kotoa pē.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, Behold, O YHWH, You have known it all!
He ʻoku ʻikai ha lea ʻi hoku ʻelelo, ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi kotoa pē.
5 You have besieged me behind and before, And You place Your hand on me.
Naʻa ke kāpui au ʻi hoku tuʻa mo hoku ʻao, ʻo ke hilifaki ho nima kiate au.
6 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It has been set on high, I am not able for it.
Ko e ʻilo pehē ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au; ʻoku māʻolunga ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lavaʻi ia.
7 To where do I go from Your Spirit? And to where do I flee from Your face?
Te u ʻalu ki fē mei ho Laumālie? Pe te u hola ki fē mei ho ʻao?
8 If I ascend the heavens—You [are] there, And spread out a bed in Sheol, behold, You! (Sheol h7585)
Kapau te u ʻalu hake ki he loto langi, ʻoku ke ʻi ai: kapau te u ngaohi hoku mohenga ʻi heli, vakai, ʻoku ke ʻi ai. (Sheol h7585)
9 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part of the sea,
Kapau te u toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe tahi;
10 Also there Your hand leads me, And Your right hand holds me.
‌ʻE tataki foki au ʻe ho nima ʻi ai, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne puke au.
11 And I say, “Surely darkness bruises me,” Then night [is] light to me.
Kapau te u pehē, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻufiʻufi au ʻe he poʻuli; ʻe hoko ʻae pō foki ko e maama ʻo takatakai ʻiate au.
12 Also darkness does not hide from You, And night shines as day, As [is] darkness so [is] light.
‌ʻIo, ʻoku ʻikai fakafufū meiate koe ʻe he poʻuli, ka ʻoku malama ʻae pō ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho: ko e poʻuli mo e maama ʻoku na tatau pe kiate koe.
13 For You have possessed my reins, You cover me in my mother’s belly.
He kuo ke maʻu hoku kongaloto: naʻa ke ʻufiʻufi au ʻi he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
14 I confess You, because I have been fearfully distinguished. Your works [are] wonderful, And my soul is knowing [it] well.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe; he ʻoku fakamanavahē mo fakaofo hoku ngaohi: ʻoku fakaofo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue; pea ʻoku ʻilo pau ki ai ʻe hoku laumālie.
15 My substance was not hid from You, When I was made in secret, Curiously worked in the lower part of earth.
Naʻe ʻikai fufū ʻa hoku sino meiate koe, ʻi he ngaohi au ʻi he lilo, mo teuteu lelei au ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻoe fonua.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, And all of them are written on Your scroll, The days they were formed—And not one among them.
Naʻe ʻafio ho fofonga ki hoku sino ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻosi; pea naʻe tohi ʻi hoʻo tohi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu fakaholo, ʻi he teʻeki ai ha kupu ʻe taha.
17 And how precious Your thoughts have been to me, O God, how great has been their sum!
‌ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau kiate au! ʻOku fēfē nai hono lahi ʻo ia!
18 I recount them! They are more than the sand, I have awoken, and I am still with You.
Kapau te u lau ia, ʻoku lahi hake hono lau ʻi he ʻoneʻone: ʻo kau ka ʻā hake ʻoku ou kei ʻiate koe.
19 Do You slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ko e moʻoni te ke tāmateʻi ʻae angahala: ko ia mou ʻalu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata pani toto.
20 Who exchange You for wickedness, Your enemies [are] lifted up to vanity.
He ʻoku nau lea kovi ʻi he angatuʻu kiate koe, pea ko ho ngaahi fili ʻoku nau takuanoa [ho huafa].
21 Do I not hate, YHWH, those hating You? And grieve myself with Your withstanders?
‌ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate koe? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ou mamahi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe?
22 I have hated them [with] perfect hatred, They have become enemies to me.
‌ʻOku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae fehiʻa ʻaupito: ʻoku ou lau ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,
‌ʻE ʻOtua, ʻafioʻi au, pea ke ʻiloʻi hoku loto: ʻahiʻahiʻi au, mo ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo:
24 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a perpetual way!
Pea ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha hala kovi ʻiate au, pea ke tataki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.
