< Psalms 31 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be ashamed for all time, In Your righteousness deliver me.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻOku ou falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā: fakamoʻui au ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
2 Incline Your ear to me quickly, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
Fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au; ke vave hoʻo fakamoʻui au: ke ke ʻiate au ko e maka mālohi, ko e fale hūfanga ke fakamoʻui au.
3 For You [are] my rock and my bulwark, For Your Name’s sake lead me and tend me.
He ko koe ko hoku makatuʻu mo ʻeku kolo: ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi ho huafa ke ke tataki au, ʻo fakahinohino au.
4 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For You [are] my strength.
Toho au mei he kupenga kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū kiate au: he ko koe ko hoku mālohi.
5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit, You have redeemed me, YHWH God of truth.
ʻOku ou tuku atu hoku laumālie ki ho nima: kuo ke huhuʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻoni.
6 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I have been confident toward YHWH.
Naʻaku fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa vaʻinga loi pē: ka ʻoku ou falala kia Sihova.
7 I rejoice, and am glad in Your kindness, In that You have seen my affliction, You have known my soul in adversities.
Te u fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa: he kuo ke tokanga ki heʻeku mamahi; kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku laumālie ʻi he ngaahi mamahi;
8 And You have not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, You have caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te ke tāpuni au ʻi he nima ʻoe fili: kuo ke fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ʻi he potu ʻataʻatā lahi.
9 Favor me, O YHWH, for distress [is] to me, My eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku ou moʻua ʻi he mamahi: kuo ʻauha hoku mata ʻi he tangi, ʻio, ko hoku laumālie mo hoku kete.
10 For my life has been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. My strength has been feeble because of my iniquity, And my bones have become old.
He kuo ʻosi ʻeku moʻui ʻi he tangi, mo hoku ngaahi taʻu ʻi he mafulu: kuo fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi hoku mālohi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku hia, pea kuo ʻauha hoku ngaahi hui.
11 I have been a reproach among all my adversaries, And to my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to my acquaintances, Those seeing me without—fled from me.
Ko e manukiʻanga au ʻo hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē, kae ʻāsili pe ki hoku ngaahi kaungāʻapi, pea ko e ilifiaʻanga ʻo hoku kaumeʻa: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata kiate au ʻi tuaʻā naʻa nau hola ʻiate au.
12 I have been forgotten as dead, out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
Kuo fakangalongaloʻi au mei he loto ʻo hangē ko e tangata kuo mate: kuo u tatau mo e ipu kuo maumau.
13 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] all around. In their being united against me, They have devised to take my life,
He naʻaku fanongo ki he lauʻikovi ʻe he tokolahi: naʻe ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: lolotonga ʻenau fakakaukau fakataha kiate au, naʻa nau loto ke toʻo ʻeku moʻui.
14 And I have trusted on You, O YHWH, I have said, “You [are] my God.”
Ka naʻaku falala kiate koe, ʻE Sihova: naʻaku pehē, Ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua.
15 In Your hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
Ko hoku ngaahi kuonga ʻoku ʻi ho nima: ke ke fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au.
16 Cause Your face to shine on Your servant, Save me in Your kindness.
Tuku ke ulo mai ho fofonga ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa.
17 O YHWH, do not let me be ashamed, For I have called You, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (Sheol )
ʻOua naʻa ke tuku au ke u mā, ʻe Sihova; he naʻaku ui kiate koe: tuku ke mā ʻae kau angahala, tuku ke nau longo pē ʻi he faʻitoka. (Sheol )
18 Let lips of falsehood become mute, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
Tuku ke fakalongo pē ʻae ngaahi loungutu loi; ʻaia ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamamahi ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fielahi mo e manuki.
19 How abundant is Your goodness, That You have laid up for those fearing You, You have worked for those trusting in You, Before sons of men.
ʻOku fēfē hono lahi ʻo hoʻo angalelei, ʻaia kuo ke hilifaki maʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate koe; ʻaia kuo ke ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata!
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence, From schemes of man, You conceal them in a dwelling place, From the strife of tongues.
Te ke fufū ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu lilo ʻo ho fofonga mei he fielahi ʻae tangata: te ke tauhi fakafufū pe ʻakinautolu ʻi ha ʻafioʻanga mei he fakakikihi ʻoe ngaahi ʻelelo.
21 Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has made His kindness marvelous To me in a city of bulwarks.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: he kuo ne fakahā kiate au ʻene angalelei fakaofo ʻi he kolo mālohi.
22 And I have said in my haste, “I have been cut off from before Your eyes,” But You have heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You.
He naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “kuo motuhi au mei he ʻao ʻo ho fofonga:” ka naʻa ke ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu ʻi heʻeku tangi kiate koe.
23 Love YHWH, all you His saints, YHWH is keeping the faithful, And repaying a proud doer abundantly.
Mou ʻofa kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu ko ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē: he ʻoku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻae kau angatonu, pea ʻoku ne totongi lahi ki he kau fai fakafielahi.
24 Be strong, and He strengthens your heart, All you who are waiting for YHWH!
Ke mou lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi homou loto, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
