1ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo manavaʻofa: ke ke tāmateʻi ʻeku ngaahi angahala ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
1Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
2Ke ke fufulu ʻaupito au mei heʻeku hia, mo fakamaʻa au mei heʻeku angahala:
2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.
3He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi talangataʻa: pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu aipē ʻi hoku ʻao ʻeku angahala.
3For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.
4Naʻaku fai angahala kiate koe, ʻio, kiate koe pē kuo u fai ʻae kovi ni ʻi ho ʻao; koeʻuhi ke tonuhia pe ʻa koe ʻoka ke ka folofola, pea māʻoniʻoni ʻoka ke ka fai ʻae fakamaau.
4Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.
5Vakai, naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he angakovi pea naʻe tuʻituʻia ʻeku faʻē ʻiate au ko e angahala.
5Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.
6Vakai, ʻoku ke finangalo ki he moʻoni ʻi loto: pea ʻi he fufū te ke ngaohi ai au ke u ʻilo ʻae poto.
6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
7Ke ke fakamaʻa au ʻaki ʻae ʻisope, pea te u maʻa ai: fufulu au, pea te u hinehina lahi ʻi he ʻuha hinehina.
7Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8Tuku ke u fanongo ki he fiefia mo e nekeneka; ke fiemālie ai ʻae ngaahi hui kuo ke fesiʻi.
8Let me hear joy and gladness, that the bones which you have broken may rejoice.
9Ke ke fufū ho fofonga mei heʻeku angahala, mo ke tāmateʻi ʻeku ngaahi hia kotoa pē.
9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.
10ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakatupu ʻiate au ʻae loto maʻa; mo ke fakafoʻou ʻiate au ha laumālie tuʻumaʻu.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.
11ʻOua naʻa ke liʻaki au mei ho ʻao pea ʻoua naʻa ke toʻo ʻiate au ho laumālie māʻoniʻoni.
11Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.
12Toe ʻomi kiate au ʻae fiefia ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui; mo ke poupou ʻaki au ho laumālie tauʻatāina.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.
13Pea te u akonaki ʻaki ʻae kau talangataʻa ʻa ho ngaahi hala; pea ʻe liliu kiate koe ʻae kau angahala.
13Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners will be converted to you.
14ʻE ʻOtua, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ke ke fakamoʻui au mei he hia ʻoe toto: pea ʻe hiva kalanga ʻa hoku ʻelelo ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
14Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.
15ʻE ʻEiki ke ke faʻai hoku loungutu, pea ʻe fakahā atu ʻe hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo fakamālō.
15Lord, open my lips. My mouth will declare your praise.
16He ʻoku ʻikai te ke finangalo ki he feilaulau, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ke fiemālie ʻi he feilaulau tutu.
16For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.
17Ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe ʻOtua ko e laumālie mafesi: ko e loto mafesi mo māfofoa, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te ke manukiʻi.
17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. O God, you will not despise a broken and contrite heart.
18Fai lelei ʻi ho finangalo lelei ki Saione: ke ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻā ʻo Selūsalema.
18Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.
19Pea te ke fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, mo e feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu kotoa: pea te nau toki ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu ki hoʻo feilaulauʻanga.
19Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.
