< Zaburi 142 >
1 Kwa sauti yangu namlilia Yahwe anisaidie; kwa sauti yangu naomba kwa ajili ya neema ya Yahwe.
Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. Ko ʻene Lotu ʻi he ʻana. Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo; ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.
2 Namwaga malalamiko yangu mbele zake; ninamwambia shida zangu.
Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao; ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.
3 Roho yangu inapokuwa dhaifu ndani yangu, wewe unajua mapito yangu. Kwenye njia niipitayo wamenifichia mtego.
ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie, ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga. ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.
4 Natazama kulia kwangu na sioni yeyote anayenijali. Sina pa kukimbilia; hakuna anayejali kuhusu uhai wangu.
Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au: naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga; naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.
5 Nilikuita wewe, Yahwe; nikasema, “Wewe ni kimbilio langu, fungu langu katika nchi ya walio hai.
Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē, Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga, mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
6 Sikia kuita kwangu, maana nimeshushwa chini sana; uniokoe dhidi ya watesi wangu, maana wana nguvu kuliko mimi.
Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi; he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito: fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga; he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.
7 Uitoe nafsi yangu kifungoni ili niweze kulishukuru jina lako. Wenye haki watakusanyika karibu nami kwa sababu umekuwa mwema kwangu.”
ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa: ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu; he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
