Psalms 90
1 A PRAYER OF MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD. Lord, You have been a habitation, To us—in generation and generation,
Ko e Lotu ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko homau hūfanga ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And You form the earth and the world, Even from age to age You [are] God.
ʻI he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea teʻeki ai te ke ngaohi ʻae fonua mo māmani, ʻio, talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata, ko koe pe ko e ʻOtua.
3 You turn man to a bruised thing, And say, Return, you sons of men.
ʻOku ke liliu ʻae tangata ke ʻauha; pea ke pehē, “Tafoki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻae tangata.”
4 For one thousand years in Your eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passes on, indeed, [as] a watch by night.
He ʻoku tatau ʻi ho ʻao ʻae taʻu ʻe afe mo e ʻaneafi ʻi hono hili ange ia, pea mo e leʻo ʻi he pō.
5 You have inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning he changes as grass.
ʻOku ke ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻave ʻe he vaitafe; ʻoku nau hangē ko e mohe: ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku nau tatau mo e mohuku ʻoku tupu hake.
6 In the morning it flourishes, and has changed, At evening it is cut down, and has withered.
ʻI he pongipongi ʻoku lau maʻuiʻui ia, pea tupu hake: ʻi he efiafi ʻoku tuʻusi hifo ia, pea mae.
7 For we were consumed in Your anger, And we have been troubled in Your fury.
He ʻoku mau ʻauha ʻi ho houhau, pea ʻoku mau mamahi ʻi ho tuputāmaki.
8 You have set our iniquities before You, Our hidden things at the light of Your face,
Kuo ke tuku ʻemau ngaahi hia ʻi ho ʻao, pea mo ʻemau ngaahi angahala fufū ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
9 For all our days pined away in Your wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
He ʻoku ʻosi atu homau ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi ho houhau: ʻoku mau fakaʻosi homau ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē ko e talanoa ʻoku lau.
10 The days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet their enlargement [is] labor and vanity, For it has been cut off quickly, and we fly away.
Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo homau taʻu ko e taʻu ʻe fitungofulu; pea kapau ʻe hoko ia ʻi hono mālohi ke valungofulu, ko hono mālohi ko e ngāue mo e mamahi; he ʻoku tuʻusi vave ia, pea ʻoku mau puna atu.
11 Who knows the power of Your anger? And according to Your fear—Your wrath?
Ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae mālohi ʻo ho houhau? ʻO hangē ko ho manavahēʻia, ʻoku pehē ho houhau.
12 Let [us] know to number our days correctly, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
Ke pehē hoʻo akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke mau lau homau ngaahi ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke mau fakatokangaʻi homau loto ki he poto.
13 Turn back, O YHWH, until when? And regret concerning Your servants.
Tafoki, ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Pea ke lolou koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.
14 Satisfy us at morning [with] Your kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
Ke ke fakamākona vave ʻakimautolu ʻaki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; koeʻuhi ke mau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi homau ʻaho fulipē.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Ke ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho ne ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimautolu, pea mo e ngaahi taʻu kuo mau mamata ai ki he kovi.
16 Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your honor on their sons.
Pea ke tuku ke hā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea mo ho nāunau ki heʻenau fānau.
17 And let the pleasantness of our God YHWH be on us, And establish on us the work of our hands, Indeed, establish the work of our hands!
Pea ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻae lelei ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: pea ke fokotuʻu ke maʻu ʻae ngāue ʻa homau nima kiate kimautolu; ʻio, ko e ngāue ʻa homau nima ke fakamaau ia.
