Amahubo 88
1 Nkosi Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwami, emini, ebusuku ngakhala phambi kwakho.
Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola, ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Mahalati Leanoti, ko e akonaki ʻa Hemani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Esela. ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
2 Umkhuleko wami kawuze phambi kwakho; beka indlebe yakho ekukhaleni kwami.
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
4 Ngibalwa lalabo abehlela emgodini; nginjengomuntu ongelamandla.
ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
5 Ngikhululwe phakathi kwabafileyo, nginjengababuleweyo abalele engcwabeni, ongasabakhumbuliyo; ngoba bequnyiwe basuswa esandleni sakho.
ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
6 Ungifakile emgodini ongaphansi kakhulu, emnyameni, ekujuleni.
Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
7 Intukuthelo yakho iyangeleka, langawo wonke amagagasi akho ungihluphile. (Sela)
ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. (Sila)
8 Ususele khatshana lami abejwayelene lami; wangenza ngibe yisinengiso kubo; ngivalelwe, ngingephume.
Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
9 Ilihlo lami liyaphela ngenxa yosizi. Ngikubizile lonke usuku, Nkosi, ngelulele izandla zami kuwe.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
10 Abafileyo uyabenzela izimangaliso yini? Imimoya efileyo izavuka yini ikudumise? (Sela)
Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? (Sila)
11 Uthando lwakho luzalandiswa yini engcwabeni? Ukuthembeka kwakho encithakalweni yini?
ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
12 Izimangaliso zakho zizakwaziwa yini emnyameni? Lokulunga kwakho elizweni lokukhohlwa yini?
ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
13 Kodwa mina, Nkosi, ngikhalile kuwe, lekuseni umkhuleko wami uzakuza phambi kwakho.
Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
14 Nkosi, ulahlelani umphefumulo wami? Ubufihlelani ubuso bakho kimi?
ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
15 Ngihluphekile ngingofayo kusukela ebutsheni, ngithwele ukwesabeka kwakho, ngikhathazekile.
ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
16 Ulaka lwakho olutshisayo ludlulile phezu kwami, okwesabekayo kwakho kungiqedile.
Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
17 Kungizingelezile njengamanzi usuku lonke, kungihanqile kanyekanye.
Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
18 Ususele khatshana lami othandayo lomngane, abejwayelene lami basemnyameni.
Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
