Saame 55
1 Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Nekina, ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Tevita. Fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE ʻotua; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū koe mei heʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
2 ʻAfio mai kiate au, mo ke ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou lāunga ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea tangi kalanga;
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
3 Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻoe fili, koeʻuhi ko e taʻomia ʻe he kau angakovi: he kuo nau tuku ʻae hia kiate au, pea ʻi he ʻita ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.
From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
4 ʻOku mamahi lahi hoku loto ʻiate au: pea kuo tō kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻoe mate.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Kuo hoko kiate au ʻae manavahē mo e tetetete, pea kuo lōmakiʻi au ʻe he lilika.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 Pea naʻaku pehē, Taumaiā ke u maʻu ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e lupe! Koeʻuhi ke u puna atu, pea fiemālie ai.
And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
7 Vakai, te u ʻalu ʻo hē ki he mamaʻo, pea u nofo ʻi he toafa. (Sila)
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 Te u ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo hao mei he matangi lahi mo e afā.
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 Fakaʻauha, ʻE Sihova, pea vahevahe honau ʻelelo: he naʻaku mamata ki he fakamālohi mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he kolo.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 ʻOku nau ʻalu fano ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻo ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: ʻoku ʻi loto ʻi ai ʻae pauʻu mo e mamahi.
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae kovi: ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻi mei hono ngaahi hala ʻae fakamālohi mo e kākā.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
12 He naʻe ʻikai ko ha fili ʻaia naʻa ne lauʻikoviʻi au; ka ne pehē, te u faʻa kātaki ia: pea naʻe ʻikai ko ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate au ʻaia kuo hiki hake ia kiate au ka ne pehē, te u faʻa fufū au meiate ia.
For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
13 Ka ko koe ia, ko e tangata ʻoku ta tatau, ko hoku fakahinohino, mo hoku kaumeʻa.
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 Naʻa ta alea lelei mo au, pea ʻalu fakataha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
15 Ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻe he mate, pea tuku ke ʻalu vave hifo ʻakinautolu ki hētesi: he ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kovi. (Sheol h7585)
(May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ka ko au te u ui ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻe fakamoʻui au ʻe Sihova.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu, mo tangi leʻo lahi: pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
18 Kuo ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie ʻi he melino mei he tau naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au: he naʻe ʻiate au ʻae tokolahi.
He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
19 ʻE ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio talu mei muʻa, pea te ne tautea ʻakinautolu. (Sila) Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau feliliuʻaki, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē ai ki he ʻOtua.
He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
20 Naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻe nonofo ʻi he melino mo ia: kuo maumauʻi ʻe ia ʻene fuakava.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
21 Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu naʻe molemole lahi hake ʻi he pota, ka naʻe ʻi hono loto ʻae tau: naʻe molū lahi ʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he lolo, ka ko e moʻoni ko e ngaahi heletā ia kuo unuhi.
They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
22 Ke ke tuku hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, pea te ne poupou koe: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tuku ke ngaue ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
23 Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻOtua te ke ʻohifo ʻakinautolu ki he luo ʻoe fakaʻauha: ko e kau tangata pani toto mo ngāue kākā ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻusia hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi ʻaho; ka te u falala kiate koe.
And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
