Psalms 88
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “SICKNESS TO AFFLICT.” AN INSTRUCTION OF HEMAN THE EZRAHITE. O YHWH, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before You,
He waiata, he himene ma nga tama a Koraha. Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Maharata Reanoto. He Makiri na Hemana Eterahi. E Ihowa, e te Atua o toku whakaoranga, he tangi taku ki tou aroaro i te ao, i te po.
2 My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
Kia tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro: whakatitahatia mai tou taringa ki taku tangi.
Kua ki hoki toku wairua i te pouri, a e whakatata ana toku ora ki te reinga. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
Kua taua tahitia ahau me te hunga e heke ana ki te rua; e rite ana ahau ki te tangata kahore ona awhina!
5 Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom You have not remembered anymore, Indeed, they have been cut off by Your hand.
I maka ki waenga i nga tupapaku, me he tangata i patua e takoto ana i te urupa, kahore nei e maharatia e koe i muri; he mea momotu ke ratou na tou ringa.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
Kua whakatakotoria ahau e koe ki te rua i raro riro, ki te pouri, ki nga rire.
7 Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)
E pehia ana ahau e tou riri, e pakia ana hoki e koe ki au ngaru katoa. (Hera)
8 You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go forth.
Kua whakamataratia atu e koe oku hoa kia tawhiti i ahau: kua meinga ahau e koe hei mea whakarihariha ki a ratou: kua uakina mai ahau, a kahore e puta ki waho.
9 My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
Kua he toku kanohi i te tangihanga: e karanga ana ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa, i nga ra katoa, kua totoro hoki oku ringa ki a koe.
10 Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
Tera ranei koe e mahi merekara ki nga tupapaku? E ara koia te hunga kua mate ki te whakamoemiti ki a koe? (Hera)
11 Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction?
Ka kauwhautia ranei tou aroha i roto i te urupa? tou pono i roto i te ngaromanga?
12 Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
E matauria koia au mea whakamiharo i roto i te pouri? tou tika i te whenua o te warewaretanga?
13 And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Ko ahau ia kua karanga ki a koe, e Ihowa: a i te ata ka tae atu taku inoi ki tou aroaro.
14 Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide Your face from me.
He aha, e Ihowa, i panga ai toku wairua e koe? He aha i huna ai tou mata ki ahau?
15 I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
No toku tamarikitanga ake ano i pakia ai ahau, i whakahemohemo ai: i ahau e pehia ana e au whakawehi, ka pororaru noa iho.
16 Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
I tika tou riri nui ma runga i ahau; kua haukotia ahau e au mea whakawehi.
17 They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
Ano he wai ratou ki te karapoti i ahau i te ra roa nei; hui tahi ratou ki te taiawhio i ahau.
18 You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
Kua wehea e koe kia tawhiti atu i ahau te hoa hei aroha mai, me oku hoa ki roto ki te pouri.
