Psalms 41

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he masiva: ʻe fakamoʻui ia ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ʻoe kovi.

2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; He shall be happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will of his enemies!

‌ʻE tauhi ia ʻe Sihova, mo pule ke moʻui ia; pea te ne monūʻia ʻi māmani: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tukuange ia ki he loto ʻo hono ngaahi fili.

3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change in his sickness.

‌ʻE fakamālohi ia ʻe Sihova ʻi he tokotoʻanga fakamamahi: te ke ngaohi hono mohenga kotoa pē ʻi hono mahaki.

4 I said, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, for I have sinned against thee!

Naʻaku pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au: fakamoʻui hoku laumālie; he kuo u fai angahala kiate koe.”

5 My enemies speak evil of me: “When will he die, and his name perish?”

‌ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻe hoku ngaahi fili: ʻE mate ʻafē ia, pea ʻauha hono hingoa?

6 If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth it.

Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ia ke vakai au, ʻoku ne lea loi: ʻoku tānaki ʻe hono loto kiate ia ʻae kovi; ʻoku ʻalu ia kituaʻā, ʻo fakahā ia.

7 All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:

‌ʻOku fefanafanahi kiate au ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au: ʻoku nau fakakaukau kovi kiate au.

8 “A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”

‌ʻOku nau pehē, “ʻOku piki maʻu kiate ia ʻae mahaki kovi: pea ko ʻene tokoto ni ʻe ʻikai te ne toetuʻu hake mei ai.”

9 Yea, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He hath lifted up his heel against me.

‌ʻIo, ko hoku kaumeʻa moʻoni, ʻaia naʻaku falala ki ai, ʻaia naʻa ne kai ʻi heʻeku mā, kuo hiki hake ʻe ia hono mui vaʻe kiate au.

10 But do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!

Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate au, mo fokotuʻu hake au, pea te u totongi kiate kinautolu.

11 By this I know that thou favorest me, Because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

‌ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku ke finangalo lelei kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai kalanga ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoku fili kiate au.

12 As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!

Pea ko au, ʻoku ke poupou hake au ʻi heʻeku angatonu, pea te ke fokotuʻu au ʻi ho ʻao ʻo taʻengata.

13 [Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, talu mei muʻa, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni mo ʻEmeni.
