1ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamaʻo ai mei he tokoni kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi lea ʻo ʻeku tangi?
1My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou tangi ʻi he ʻaho, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ongoʻi; pea ʻi he pō, ʻoku ʻikai te u longo pē.
2I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3Ka ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4Naʻe falala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe: naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
4In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
5Naʻa nau tangi kiate koe, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: naʻa nau falala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mā.
5They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
6Ka ko e kelemutu au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata: ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe tangata, ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai.
6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
7Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate au ʻoku nau kata manuki kiate au: ʻoku nau fakalili honau ngutu, mo kalokalo ʻae ʻulu, mo nau pehē,
7All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8“Naʻa ne falala kia Sihova ke ne fakamoʻui ia: tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, he naʻa ne fiemālie ʻiate ia.”
8“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
9Ka ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē: naʻa ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he huhu ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
9Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10Naʻe lī au kiate koe mei he manāva: ko hoku ʻOtua Koe talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
10From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
11ʻOua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: he ʻoku ofi ʻae mamahi; he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
11Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12Kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata lahi: kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata mālohi mei Pesani.
12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13Naʻa nau fakamanga honau ngutu kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e laione fekai mo ngungulu.
13They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
14Kuo lilingi au ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea kuo homo hoku ngaahi hui kotoa pē: kuo tatau hoku loto mo e pulu: kuo fakamolū ia ʻi hoku loto fatu.
14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
15Kuo mōmoa ʻo ʻosi hoku mālohi ʻo hangē ko e ipu kuo maumau; pea ʻoku piki maʻu hoku ʻelelo ki hoku ʻaoʻi ngutu; pea kuo ke ʻohifo au ki he efu ʻoe mate.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
16He kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga kulī: kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fakataha ʻoe ngaahi angakovi: naʻa nau hokaʻi hoku nima mo hoku vaʻe.
16For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
17ʻOku ou faʻa lau hoku hui kotoa pē: ʻoku nau mamata mo siosio pau kiate au.
17I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
18ʻOku nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻiate kinautolu, mo fai ʻae talotalo ki hoku pulupulu.
18They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
19Kaeʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au, ʻE Sihova: ʻE hoku mālohi, ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke tokoni au.
19But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he heletā; mo ʻeku moʻui mei he mālohi ʻoe kulī.
20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
21Fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione: he kuo ke ongoʻi au mei he ngaahi nifo ʻoe fanga liimi.
21Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
22Te u fakahā ho huafa ki hoku ngaahi kāinga: ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fakataha te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe.
22I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
23“ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, fakafetaʻi kiate ia; fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻakimoutolu ko e hako ʻo Sēkope; pea manavahē kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ko e hako ʻo ʻIsileli.
23You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
24He naʻe ʻikai te ne manuki pe fehiʻa ki he mamahi ʻoe mamahiʻia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fufū hono fofonga ʻiate ia; ka ʻi heʻene tangi kiate ia naʻa ne ongoʻi.”
24For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
25ʻE ʻiate koe pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi ʻi he fakataha lahi: te u fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.
25My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
26ʻE kai ʻe he angamalū ke mākona; ʻe fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia: ʻe moʻui taʻengata homou laumālie.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
27ʻE manatu mo tafoki kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: pea ʻe lotu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
28He ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻae puleʻanga; pea ko e pule ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
28For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
29Ko kinautolu ʻoku sino ʻi māmani te nau kai mo lotu: ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he efu: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamoʻui hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
30ʻE tauhi ia ʻe ha hako; pea ʻe lau ia ko e toʻutangata kia Sihova,
30Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
31Te nau haʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki ha kakai ʻe fanauʻi, “Kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni.”
31They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.
