1 ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu ki he meʻa kuo hoko kiate kimautolu: tokanga pea ke ʻafio ki homau taukae.
Remember, O Lord, what is come vpon vs: consider, and behold our reproche.
2 Kuo liliu homau tofiʻa ki he kau muli, ʻa homau ngaahi fale ki he ʻāuhē.
Our inheritance is turned to the strangers, our houses to the aliants.
3 Ko e kau faʻē mate mo tamai mate ʻakimautolu, ko ʻemau ngaahi faʻē kuo hangē kuo mate ʻa honau ngaahi husepāniti.
We are fatherles, euen without father, and our mothers are as widowes.
4 Kuo mau inu vai ʻi he totongi paʻanga, ko ʻemau fefie ʻoku fakatau kiate kimautolu.
Wee haue drunke our water for money, and our wood is solde vnto vs.
5 ʻOku māʻulalo ʻa homau kia ki he fakatanga: ʻoku mau ngāue pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mālōlō.
Our neckes are vnder persecution: we are wearie, and haue no rest.
6 Kuo mau fekuku nima mo e kau ʻIsipite, pea mo e kau ʻAsilia, ke mau mākona ʻi he mā.
We haue giuen our handes to the Egyptians, and to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Naʻe fai angahala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai, pea kuo mau fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
Our fathers haue sinned, and are not, and we haue borne their iniquities.
8 Kuo pule ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kiate kimautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻoku fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei honau nima.
Seruants haue ruled ouer vs, none would deliuer vs out of their hands.
9 Naʻa mau maʻu meʻakai ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻemau moʻui, koeʻuhi ko e heletā ʻi he toafa.
Wee gate our bread with the perill of our liues, because of the sword of the wildernesse.
10 Naʻe ʻuliʻuli ʻa homau kili ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ko e meʻa ʻi he honge fakamanavahē.
Our skinne was blacke like as an ouen because of the terrible famine.
11 Naʻa nau tohotoho ʻae kau fefine ʻi Saione, ʻae kau tāupoʻou ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.
They defiled the women in Zion, and the maydes in the cities of Iudah.
12 ʻOku tautau ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki mei honau nima, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻae mata ʻoe kau mātuʻa.
The princes are hanged vp by their hande: the faces of the elders were not had in honour.
13 Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau talavou ke momosi, pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae tamaiki ʻi he lalo ʻakau.
They tooke the yong men to grinde, and the children fell vnder the wood.
14 Kuo ʻosi ʻae kau mātuʻa mei he matapā, ʻae kau talavou mei he fasi hiva.
The Elders haue ceased from the gate and the yong men from their songs.
15 Kuo ʻosi ʻae fiefia ʻa homau loto; kuo liliu ʻa ʻemau meʻe ko e mamahi.
The ioy of our heart is gone, our daunce is turned into mourning.
16 Kuo tō ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei homau ʻulu. ʻOiauē ʻakimautolu! He kuo mau fai angahala.
The crowne of our head is fallen: wo nowe vnto vs, that we haue sinned.
17 Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni ʻoku vaivai homau loto; koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku nenefu homau mata.
Therefore our heart is heauy for these things, our eyes are dimme,
18 Koeʻuhi ko e moʻunga ʻo Saione, ʻaia ʻoku lala pē, ʻoku ʻaʻeva ai ʻae fanga fokisi.
Because of the mountaine of Zion which is desolate: the foxes runne vpon it.
19 ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻo taʻengata, ko ho ʻafioʻanga ʻoku mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
But thou, O Lord, remainest for euer: thy throne is from generation to generation.
20 Ko e hā ʻoku ke fakangaloʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata, pea mahuʻi meiate kimautolu ʻo fuoloa?
Wherefore doest thou forget vs for euer, and forsake vs so long time?
21 Fakatafokiʻi ʻakimautolu kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, pea te mau liliu moʻoni; fakafoʻou homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.
Turne thou vs vnto thee, O Lord, and we shalbe turned: renue our dayes as of olde.
22 Ka kuo ke mātuʻaki liʻaki ʻakimautolu; ʻoku ke houhau ʻaupito kiate kimautolu.
But thou hast vtterly reiected vs: thou art exceedingly angry against vs.
