JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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?
1(22-1) For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. (22-2) My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
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.
2(22-3) O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
3Ka ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
3(22-4) Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4Naʻe falala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe: naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
4(22-5) In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
5Naʻa nau tangi kiate koe, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: naʻa nau falala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mā.
5(22-6) Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
6Ka ko e kelemutu au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata: ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe tangata, ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai.
6(22-7) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of 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,
7(22-8) All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
8“Naʻa ne falala kia Sihova ke ne fakamoʻui ia: tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, he naʻa ne fiemālie ʻiate ia.”
8(22-9) 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth 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.
9(22-10) For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10Naʻe lī au kiate koe mei he manāva: ko hoku ʻOtua Koe talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
10(22-11) Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
11ʻOua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: he ʻoku ofi ʻae mamahi; he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.
11(22-12) Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12Kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata lahi: kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata mālohi mei Pesani.
12(22-13) Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13Naʻa nau fakamanga honau ngutu kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e laione fekai mo ngungulu.
13(22-14) They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
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.
14(22-15) I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
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.
15(22-16) My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest 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.
16(22-17) For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
17ʻOku ou faʻa lau hoku hui kotoa pē: ʻoku nau mamata mo siosio pau kiate au.
17(22-18) I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
18ʻOku nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻiate kinautolu, mo fai ʻae talotalo ki hoku pulupulu.
18(22-19) They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
19Kaeʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au, ʻE Sihova: ʻE hoku mālohi, ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke tokoni au.
19(22-20) But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
20Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he heletā; mo ʻeku moʻui mei he mālohi ʻoe kulī.
20(22-21) Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
21Fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione: he kuo ke ongoʻi au mei he ngaahi nifo ʻoe fanga liimi.
21(22-22) Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
22Te u fakahā ho huafa ki hoku ngaahi kāinga: ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fakataha te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe.
22(22-23) I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
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.
23(22-24) 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
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.”
24(22-25) For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
25ʻE ʻiate koe pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi ʻi he fakataha lahi: te u fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.
25(22-26) From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
26ʻE kai ʻe he angamalū ke mākona; ʻe fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia: ʻe moʻui taʻengata homou laumālie.
26(22-27) Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!
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.
27(22-28) All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
28He ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻae puleʻanga; pea ko e pule ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.
28(22-29) For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler 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.
29(22-30) All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
30ʻE tauhi ia ʻe ha hako; pea ʻe lau ia ko e toʻutangata kia Sihova,
30(22-31) A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
31Te nau haʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki ha kakai ʻe fanauʻi, “Kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni.”
31(22-32) They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
