1ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, pea kuo ke ʻiloʻi au.
1LORD, you have searched me, and you know me.
2ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku nofo hifo mo ʻeku tuʻu hake, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
2You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.
3ʻOku ke ʻāʻi hoku hala mo hoku tokotoʻanga, pea ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi hoku hala kotoa pē.
3You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
4He ʻoku ʻikai ha lea ʻi hoku ʻelelo, ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi kotoa pē.
4For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, LORD, you know it altogether.
5Naʻa ke kāpui au ʻi hoku tuʻa mo hoku ʻao, ʻo ke hilifaki ho nima kiate au.
5You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.
6Ko e ʻilo pehē ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au; ʻoku māʻolunga ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lavaʻi ia.
6This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.
7Te u ʻalu ki fē mei ho Laumālie? Pe te u hola ki fē mei ho ʻao?
7Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?
8Kapau te u ʻalu hake ki he loto langi, ʻoku ke ʻi ai: kapau te u ngaohi hoku mohenga ʻi heli, vakai, ʻoku ke ʻi ai.
8If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there!
9Kapau te u toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe tahi;
9If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10ʻE tataki foki au ʻe ho nima ʻi ai, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne puke au.
10even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.
11Kapau te u pehē, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻufiʻufi au ʻe he poʻuli; ʻe hoko ʻae pō foki ko e maama ʻo takatakai ʻiate au.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night,”
12ʻIo, ʻoku ʻikai fakafufū meiate koe ʻe he poʻuli, ka ʻoku malama ʻae pō ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho: ko e poʻuli mo e maama ʻoku na tatau pe kiate koe.
12even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
13He kuo ke maʻu hoku kongaloto: naʻa ke ʻufiʻufi au ʻi he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
13For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14Te u fakamālō kiate koe; he ʻoku fakamanavahē mo fakaofo hoku ngaohi: ʻoku fakaofo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue; pea ʻoku ʻilo pau ki ai ʻe hoku laumālie.
14I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
15Naʻe ʻikai fufū ʻa hoku sino meiate koe, ʻi he ngaohi au ʻi he lilo, mo teuteu lelei au ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻoe fonua.
15My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.
16Naʻe ʻafio ho fofonga ki hoku sino ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻosi; pea naʻe tohi ʻi hoʻo tohi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu fakaholo, ʻi he teʻeki ai ha kupu ʻe taha.
16Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.
17ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau kiate au! ʻOku fēfē nai hono lahi ʻo ia!
17How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!
18Kapau te u lau ia, ʻoku lahi hake hono lau ʻi he ʻoneʻone: ʻo kau ka ʻā hake ʻoku ou kei ʻiate koe.
18If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.
19ʻE ʻOtua, ko e moʻoni te ke tāmateʻi ʻae angahala: ko ia mou ʻalu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata pani toto.
19If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20He ʻoku nau lea kovi ʻi he angatuʻu kiate koe, pea ko ho ngaahi fili ʻoku nau takuanoa ho huafa .
20For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.
21ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate koe? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ou mamahi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe?
21LORD, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?
22ʻOku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae fehiʻa ʻaupito: ʻoku ou lau ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili.
22I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.
23ʻE ʻOtua, ʻafioʻi au, pea ke ʻiloʻi hoku loto: ʻahiʻahiʻi au, mo ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo:
23Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.
24Pea ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha hala kovi ʻiate au, pea ke tataki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.
24See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.
