Berean Standard Bible
1ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; he kuo hū ki loto ʻae ngaahi vai ki hoku laumālie.
1Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.
2ʻOku ou ngalo hifo ʻi he pela loloto, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke tuʻu ai: kuo u hoko ki he vai loloto, pea ʻoku lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi.
2I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.
3Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku tangi: kuo mōmoa hoku kia: ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi hoku mata ʻi heʻeku tatali ki hoku ʻOtua.
3I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4Ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻoku nau tokolahi hake ʻi he tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko kinautolu ʻoku loto ke fakaʻauha au, ʻaia ko hoku ngaahi fili taʻetotonu, ʻoku nau mālohi; pea ne u toki ʻange ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻave.
4Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
5ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku vale; pea ʻoku ʻikai lilo ʻiate koe ʻeku ngaahi angahala.
5You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
6ʻE ʻEiki Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatali kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au: ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au.
6May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
7He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u kātaki ai ʻae lauʻikovi; kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hoku mata ʻae mā.
7For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.
8Kuo u hoko ko e muli ki hoku ngaahi kāinga, mo e ʻāuhe ki he fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē.
8I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,
9He kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi he fai feinga ki ho fale; pea ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe kuo tō kiate au.
9because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
10ʻI heʻeku tangi, ʻo tautea hoku laumālie ʻaki ʻae ʻaukai, naʻe manukiʻi ai au.
10I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.
11Naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa; pea ne u hoko ko honau lumaʻanga.
11I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.
12ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā; pea ʻoku hiva ʻaki au ʻe he kau konā ʻi he kava.
12Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
13Ka ko au, ʻE Sihova, ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu ʻi he ʻaho tuʻumālie: ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo kiate au ʻi hono lahi fau ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻi hono moʻoni ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui.
13But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.
14Fakamoʻui au mei he pela, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u ngalo hifo: tuku ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi vai loloto.
14Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.
15ʻOua naʻa tuku ke lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi, pea ʻoua naʻa folo hifo au ʻe he loloto, pea ʻoua naʻa tāpuni ʻe he luo hono ngutu kiate au.
15Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
16Fanongo kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku lelei hoʻo manavaʻofa: ke ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
16Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
17Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ou mamahi: fanongo vave kiate au:
17Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!
18Ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki hoku laumālie, pea huhuʻi ia: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
18Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
19Kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku lauʻikovi, mo ʻeku mā, mo hoku manukia: ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
19You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
20Kuo fesiʻi hoku loto ʻe he lauʻikovi pea kuo u fonu ʻi he mamahi: pea naʻaku kumi ki ha niʻihi ke ʻofa mai, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha; mo e kau fakafiemālie, tā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha taha.
20Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.
21Naʻa nau foaki foki kiate au ʻae ʻahu ko ʻeku meʻakai; pea ʻi heʻeku fieinu naʻa nau tuku mai ʻae vaimahi ke u inu.
21They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
22Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele ʻi honau ʻao: mo ia naʻe totonu kenau lelei ai, ke hoko ia ko e tauhele.
22May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.
23Ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata; pea ke tetetete maʻuaipē honau kongaloto.
23May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24Te ke lilingi ho houhau kiate kinautolu, pea puke ʻakinautolu ʻe ho houhau vela.
24Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
25Tuku ke lala honau nofoʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ha tokotaha ʻi honau fale fehikitaki.
25May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26He ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi ia ʻaia kuo ke taaʻi; pea ʻoku nau talanoa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo ke tautea.
26For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.
27Fakalahi ʻaki ʻae nunuʻa ʻoe hia ki heʻenau hia: pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
27Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
28Tuku ke tāmateʻi mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi fakataha ʻakinautolu mo e kau māʻoniʻoni.
28May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
29Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi: ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ke hiki ki ʻolunga au ʻe hoʻo fakamoʻui.
29But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
30Teu fakamālō ki he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae hiva, pea te u hiki hake ia ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
30I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31Pea ʻe fiemālie lahi hake ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni, ʻi he pulu tangata pe ko e pulu ʻoku ai hono nifo mo e ngeʻesi vaʻe.
31And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.
32ʻE mamata ki he meʻa ni ʻae angavaivai, pea fiefia ai: pea ʻe moʻui homou loto ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
32The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!
33He ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ʻene kau pōpula.
33For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.
34Tuku ke fakamālō kiate ia ʻae langi mo māmani, ʻae ngaahi tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi ai.
34Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
35Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Saione, pea langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: koeʻuhi ke nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻo maʻu ia ko honau tofiʻa.
35For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.
36ʻE maʻu foki ia ʻe he hako ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hono huafa.
36The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.
