Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh.
Ko e Lotu ʻae mamahi ʻi hono lōmekina, pea ne lilingi ʻene mamahi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova. ʻE Sihova, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, pea tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku tangi kiate koe.
2 Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.
ʻOua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou mamahi ai; fakatokangaʻi ho fofonga kiate au: ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku ou ui ai ke vave hoʻo talia au.
3 For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.
He kuo fakaʻosi hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko e kohu, pea kuo vela hoku ngaahi hui ʻo hangē ko e veʻe tofunanga.
4 Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.
Kuo taaʻi hoku loto, pea kuo mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku; ko ia kuo ngalo ai ʻiate au ke kai ʻeku mā.
5 From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my flesh.
Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻo ʻeku toʻe, ko ia ʻoku piki ai hoku ngaahi hui ki hoku kili.
6 I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have been as an owl of the dry places.
ʻOku ou tatau mo e pelikani ʻoe toafa: ʻoku ou hangē ko e lulu ʻoe potu lala.
7 I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
ʻOku ou leʻo, pea u tatau mo e kihiʻi manupuna ʻoku tokotaha pē ʻi he tuʻahivi ʻoe fale.
8 All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
ʻOku manuki kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku mata lili kiate au kuo nau fuakava ke angatuʻu kiate au.
9 Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,
He kuo u kai ʻae efuefu ʻo hangē ko e mā, mo huʻi ʻaki hoku inu ʻae loʻimata,
10 From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
Koeʻuhi ko ho tuputāmaki mo ho houhau: he kuo ke hiki hake au, pea lī au ki lalo.
11 My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I — as the herb I am withered.
ʻOku tatau hoku ngaahi ʻaho mo e ʻata ʻoku mole atu; pea kuo u mae ʻo hangē ko e mohuku.
12 And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial to all generations.
Ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, te ke tolonga ʻo taʻengata; mo hoʻo fakaʻilonga ki he ngaahi toʻutangata kotoa pē.
13 Thou — Thou risest — Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to favour her, For the appointed time hath come.
Te ke tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻaloʻofa ki Saione: he ko e ʻaho ke tokoni ia, ʻio, ko e ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni kuo hoko mai.
14 For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And her dust they favour.
He ʻoku fiemālie ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono ngaahi maka, pea ʻoku nau ʻofa ki hono efu ʻoʻona.
15 And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of the earth Thine honour,
Ko ia ʻe manavahē ai ʻae hiteni ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho nāunau.
16 For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,
ʻOka toe langa hake ʻe Sihova ʻa Saione, ʻe fakahā ia ʻi hono nāunau.
17 He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.
Te ne tokanga ki he lotu ʻae masiva, pea ʻe ʻikai manukiʻi ʻenau hū.
18 This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.
ʻE tohi eni maʻae toʻutangata ʻe haʻu: pea ko e kakai ʻe fakatupu te nau fakamālō kia Sihova.
19 For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,
He kuo ʻafio hifo ia mei he māʻolunga ʻo hono faletapu; naʻe ʻafio ʻa Sihova mei he langi ki māmani;
20 To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of death,
Ke ne fanongo ki he toʻe ʻoe pōpula; ke vete ʻakinautolu kuo tuʻutuʻuni ke mate;
21 To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
Ke fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova ʻi Saione, mo ʻene fakamālō ʻi Selūsalema;
22 In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms — to serve Jehovah.
ʻOka fakataha ʻae kakai, pea mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, ke tauhi ʻa Sihova.
23 He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my days.
Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi hoku mālohi ʻi he hala; naʻa ne fakanounou hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
24 I say, 'My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,' Through all generations [are] Thine years.
Naʻaku pehē, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ʻave au ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi ʻaho: ko ho ngaahi taʻu ʻoku tolonga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
25 Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of Thy hands [are] the heavens.
Naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi koe ngaue ia ʻa ho nima.
26 They — They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
ʻE ʻauha ia, ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, ʻio, ʻe fakaʻaʻau kotoa pē ia ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu; pea hangē ko e pulupulu te ke fatufatu ia, pea ʻe fakakehe ia:
27 And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not finished.
Ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ʻo ho ngaahi taʻu.
28 The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed before Thee is established!
ʻE tolonga ʻae fānau ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea ʻe fokotuʻumaʻu honau hako ʻi ho ʻao.
