< Psalmorum 42 >

1 In finem. Intellectus filiis Core. Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.

2 Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum; quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Dei?
‌ʻOku holi hoku laumālie ki he ʻOtua, ki he ʻOtua moʻui: te u hoko ʻafē ʻo fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua?
3 Fuerunt mihi lacrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
Ko ʻeku meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻa hoku ngaahi loʻimata, lolotonga ʻoku nau pehē maʻuaipē kiate au, “Ko e fē ho ʻOtua?”
4 Hæc recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis, sonus epulantis.
‌ʻI heʻeku manatu ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻoku ou lilingi hoku laumālie ʻiate au: he naʻaku faʻa ʻalu mo e tokolahi, naʻaku ʻalu mo kinautolu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he leʻo ʻoe fiefia mo e fakafetaʻi, mo e tokolahi naʻe tauhi ʻae ʻaho tapu.
5 Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei,
Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? pea ko e hā kuo ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? Ke ke ʻamanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua? He ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻui ʻo hono fofonga.
6 et Deus meus. Ad meipsum anima mea conturbata est: propterea memor ero tui de terra Jordanis et Hermoniim a monte modico.
‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku mapelu ki lalo hoku laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate au: ko ia te u manatu ai kiate koe mei he fonua ʻo Sioatani, pea mo Heamoni, mo e moʻunga siʻi ko Maisa.
7 Abyssus abyssum invocat, in voce cataractarum tuarum; omnia excelsa tua, et fluctus tui super me transierunt.

8 In die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam, et nocte canticum ejus; apud me oratio Deo vitæ meæ.
Ka ko e moʻoni ʻe fekau mai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻi he ʻaho, pea ʻe ʻiate au ʻene hiva ʻi he poʻuli, mo ʻeku lotu ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
9 Dicam Deo: Susceptor meus es; quare oblitus es mei? et quare contristatus incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
Te u pehē ki he ʻOtua ko hoku makatuʻu, “Ko e hā kuo ke fakangaloʻi ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻalu mamahi pē ʻi he taʻomia ʻe he fili?”
10 Dum confringuntur ossa mea, exprobraverunt mihi qui tribulant me inimici mei, dum dicunt mihi per singulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus?
Ko e manuki ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, ʻoku hangē ko e heletā kuo uhu ki hoku ngaahi hui; ʻi heʻenau pehē mai kiate au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, “Ko e fē ho ʻOtua?”

Ko e hā ʻoku ke mapelu ai ki lalo, ʻE hoku laumālie? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke maveuveu ai ʻi loto ʻiate au? Ke ke ʻamanaki lelei ki he ʻOtua: he ko e moʻoni te u fakafetaʻi kiate ia, ʻaia ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoku mata, mo hoku ʻOtua.
