JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; he kuo hū ki loto ʻae ngaahi vai ki hoku laumālie.
1(69-1) For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A Psalm of David. (69-2) Save me, O God; for the waters are come in even unto the soul.
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.
2(69-3) I am sunk in deep mire, where there is no standing; I am come into deep waters, and the flood overwhelmeth me.
3Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku tangi: kuo mōmoa hoku kia: ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi hoku mata ʻi heʻeku tatali ki hoku ʻOtua.
3(69-4) I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; mine eyes fail while I wait 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.
4(69-5) They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are many; should I restore that which I took not away?
5ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku vale; pea ʻoku ʻikai lilo ʻiate koe ʻeku ngaahi angahala.
5(69-6) O God, Thou knowest my folly; and my trespasses are not hid from Thee.
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.
6(69-7) Let not them that wait for Thee be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; let not those that seek Thee be brought to confusion 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.
7(69-8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath covered my face.
8Kuo u hoko ko e muli ki hoku ngaahi kāinga, mo e ʻāuhe ki he fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē.
8(69-9) I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9He kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi he fai feinga ki ho fale; pea ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe kuo tō kiate au.
9(69-10) Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproach Thee are fallen upon me.
10ʻI heʻeku tangi, ʻo tautea hoku laumālie ʻaki ʻae ʻaukai, naʻe manukiʻi ai au.
10(69-11) And I wept with my soul fasting, and that became unto me a reproach.
11Naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa; pea ne u hoko ko honau lumaʻanga.
11(69-12) I made sackcloth also my garment, and I became a byword unto them.
12ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā; pea ʻoku hiva ʻaki au ʻe he kau konā ʻi he kava.
12(69-13) They that sit in the gate talk of me; and I am the song of the 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.
13(69-14) But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy 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.
14(69-15) Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink; let me be delivered from them that hate me, 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.
15(69-16) Let not the waterflood overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up; and let not the pit shut her mouth upon 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.
16(69-17) Answer me, O LORD, for Thy mercy is good; according to the multitude of Thy compassions turn Thou unto me.
17Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ou mamahi: fanongo vave kiate au:
17(69-18) And hide not Thy face from Thy servant; for I am in distress; answer me speedily.
18Ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki hoku laumālie, pea huhuʻi ia: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
18(69-19) Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it; ransom me because of mine enemies.
19Kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku lauʻikovi, mo ʻeku mā, mo hoku manukia: ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
19(69-20) Thou knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; mine adversaries are all before Thee.
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.
20(69-21) Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sore sick; and I looked for some to show compassion, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21Naʻa nau foaki foki kiate au ʻae ʻahu ko ʻeku meʻakai; pea ʻi heʻeku fieinu naʻa nau tuku mai ʻae vaimahi ke u inu.
21(69-22) Yea, they put poison into my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele ʻi honau ʻao: mo ia naʻe totonu kenau lelei ai, ke hoko ia ko e tauhele.
22(69-23) Let their table before them become a snare; and when they are in peace, let it become a trap.
23Ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata; pea ke tetetete maʻuaipē honau kongaloto.
23(69-24) Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to totter.
24Te ke lilingi ho houhau kiate kinautolu, pea puke ʻakinautolu ʻe ho houhau vela.
24(69-25) Pour out Thine indignation upon them, and let the fierceness of Thine anger overtake them.
25Tuku ke lala honau nofoʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ha tokotaha ʻi honau fale fehikitaki.
25(69-26) Let their encampment be desolate; let none dwell in their tents.
26He ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi ia ʻaia kuo ke taaʻi; pea ʻoku nau talanoa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo ke tautea.
26(69-27) For they persecute him whom Thou hast smitten; and they tell of the pain of those whom Thou hast wounded.
27Fakalahi ʻaki ʻae nunuʻa ʻoe hia ki heʻenau hia: pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
27(69-28) Add iniquity unto their iniquity; and let them not come into Thy righteousness.
28Tuku ke tāmateʻi mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi fakataha ʻakinautolu mo e kau māʻoniʻoni.
28(69-29) Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi: ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ke hiki ki ʻolunga au ʻe hoʻo fakamoʻui.
29(69-30) But I am afflicted and in pain; let Thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30Teu fakamālō ki he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae hiva, pea te u hiki hake ia ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
30(69-31) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify 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.
31(69-32) And it shall please the LORD better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32ʻE mamata ki he meʻa ni ʻae angavaivai, pea fiefia ai: pea ʻe moʻui homou loto ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
32(69-33) The humble shall see it, and be glad; ye that seek after God, let your heart revive.
33He ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ʻene kau pōpula.
33(69-34) For the LORD hearkeneth unto the needy, and despiseth not His prisoners.
34Tuku ke fakamālō kiate ia ʻae langi mo māmani, ʻae ngaahi tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi ai.
34(69-35) Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
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.
35(69-36) For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; and they shall abide there, and have it in possession.
36ʻE maʻu foki ia ʻe he hako ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hono huafa.
36(69-37) The seed also of His servants shall inherit it; and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
