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,
Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola, ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Mahalati Leanoti, ko e akonaki ʻa Hemani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Esela. ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
2 My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
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.
ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
6 You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
7 Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)
ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. (Sila)
8 You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go forth.
Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
9 My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
10 Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? (Sila)
11 Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? Your faithfulness in destruction?
ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
12 Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
13 And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
14 Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide Your face from me.
ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
15 I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
16 Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
17 They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
18 You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
