Psalms 39

1 TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have said, “I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep a curb for my mouth, While the wicked [is] before me.”

Ki he Takimuʻa ko Situtuni, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. Naʻa ku pehē, “Te u vakai ki hoku ngaahi hala, telia naʻaku angahala ʻi hoku ʻelelo: te u ʻai ʻae noʻo ki hoku ngutu, ʻi he kei ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae angakovi.”

2 I was mute [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my pain is excited.

Naʻaku noa, ʻi he fakalongo pē, naʻaku taʻofi au mei he lea, ʻio, mei he lelei; pea naʻe tupu ai ʻeku mamahi.

3 My heart [is] hot within me, In my meditating the fire burns, I have spoken with my tongue.

Naʻe vela hoku loto ʻiate au, pea lolotonga ʻeku fifili naʻe vela ʻae afi: pea u toki lea ʻaki hoku ʻelelo,

4 “Cause me to know, O YHWH, my end, And the measure of my days—what it [is],” I know how frail I [am].

“ʻE Sihova, ke ke fakaʻilo kiate au hoku ngataʻanga, mo hono fuofua ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho, pe ko e hā ia; koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ki hono lahi ʻo ʻeku vaivai.”

5 Behold, You have made my days handbreadths, And my age [is] as nothing before You, Only, every man set up [is] all vanity. (Selah)

Vakai, kuo ke ngaohi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ke tatau mo e ʻaofinima pe taha; pea ko ʻeku moʻui ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa noa pē ʻi ho ʻao: ko e moʻoni ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻi heʻene tuʻumaʻu ko e mātuʻaki vaʻinga ia. (Sila)

6 Only, each habitually walks in an image, Only, [in] vain, they are disquieted, He heaps up and does not know who gathers them.

Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻalu ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻata loi: ko e moʻoni kuo nau mamahi taʻeʻaonga: ʻoku ne tānaki ʻae koloa, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai te ne maʻu ia.

7 And now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope—it [is] of You.

Pea ko eni, “ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ou tatali ai? ʻOku ʻiate koe pē ʻeku ʻamanaki lelei.

8 Deliver me from all my transgressions, Do not make me a reproach of the fool.

Fakamoʻui au mei heʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa kotoa pē: ʻoua naʻa ke ngaohi au ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe vale.”

9 I have been mute, I do not open my mouth, Because You have done [it].

Naʻaku noa, naʻe ʻikai te u mafaʻa hoku ngutu; koeʻuhi ko koe naʻa ke fai ia.

10 Turn aside Your stroke from off me, From the striving of Your hand I have been consumed.

Toʻo atu hoʻo tā ʻiate au: kuo u ʻauha ʻi he tā ʻaho nima.

11 With reproofs against iniquity, You have corrected man, And dissolve his desirableness as a moth, Only, every man [is] vanity. (Selah)

‌ʻOka ke ka tautea ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae tākitala ʻi heʻene hia, ʻoku ke pule ke mole atu hono lelei ʻo hangē ko e ane: ko e moʻoni ko e vaʻinga ʻae tangata kotoa pē. (Sila)

12 Hear my prayer, O YHWH, And give ear [to] my cry, Do not be silent to my tear, For I [am] a sojourner with You, A settler like all my fathers.

Fanongo mai ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE Sihova, mo ke fakafanongo ki heʻeku tangi; ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē ʻi hoku ngaahi loʻimata: he ko e muli au ʻi ho ʻao, mo e ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi tamai kotoa pē.

13 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not!

Tuku siʻi ai pe au, koeʻuhi ke u toe maʻu ʻeku mālohi, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u ʻalu ʻi heni, pea te u ʻikai leva.
