< Psalmorum 129 >

1 Canticum graduum. Sæpe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea, dicat nunc Israel.
Ko e Hiva ʻae ʻalu hake. ‌ʻOku totonu ke lea ni ʻa ʻIsileli, Kuo liunga lahi ʻenau fakamamahiʻi au talu ʻeku kei talavou:
2 Sæpe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea: etenim non potuerunt mihi.
“Kuo liunga lahi ʻenau fakamamahiʻi au talu ʻeku talavou: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau mālohi kiate au.
3 Supra dorsum meum fabricaverunt peccatores: prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam.
Naʻe keli ʻae kau tangata keli ʻi hoku tuʻa: naʻa nau ngaohi ke lōloa ʻenau ngaahi keli.
4 Dominus iustus concidit cervices peccatorum:
‌ʻOku angatonu ʻa Sihova: kuo tuʻusi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi afo ʻae kakai angahala.”
5 confundantur et convertantur retrorsum omnes, qui oderunt Sion.
Tuku ke puputuʻu pea foki kimui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa ki Saione.
6 Fiant sicut fœnum tectorum: quod priusquam evellatur, exaruit:
Tuku kenau tatau mo e mohuku ʻi he tatā ʻoe fale, ʻaia ʻoku mae ʻi he teʻeki ai ke lahi ia:
7 De quo non implevit manum suam qui metit, et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit.
‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai fakapito ʻaki ʻe he tangata tuʻusi ʻa hono nima; pe ko e fatafata ʻo ia ʻoku ne nonoʻo ʻae ngaahi ʻū mohuku.
8 Et non dixerunt qui præteribant: Benedictio Domini super vos: benediximus vobis in nomine Domini.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai lea ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻalu ʻi ai, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae monūʻia meia Sihova: ʻoku mau tāpuaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
