1ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou falala pe kiate koe: ke ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakatangaʻi au, mo ke fakahaofi au.
1The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16]
2Telia naʻa ne haehae hoku laumālie ʻo hangē ko e laione, ʻo haehae ia ke fakaikiiki, ʻoka ʻikai ha fakahaofi.
2O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
3ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, kapau naʻaku fai eni; kapau ʻoku ai ha angahala ʻi hoku nima;
3Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
4Kapau ne u totongi kovi kiate ia naʻe nofo ʻi he melino mo au; ʻio, naʻaku fakamoʻui ia ʻaia kuo hoko ko hoku fili taʻehanoʻuhinga:
4O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
5Tuku ke tuli hoku laumālie ʻe he fili, pea maʻu ia; ʻio, tuku ke ne molomoloki hifo ʻeku moʻui ʻi he kelekele, pea fakatokoto hoku ongoongolelei ʻi he efu. Sila.
5If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
6Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ʻi ho houhau, ke ke hiki hake koe, ko e meʻa ʻi he lili ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: pea ke ʻā hake koeʻuhi ko au ki he fakamaau ʻaia naʻa ke fekau.
6Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
7Pehē ʻe kāpui koe ʻe he fakataha ʻoe kakai: ko ia ko e meʻa ʻiate kinautolu ke ke hāʻele hake ki ʻolunga.
7Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
8ʻE fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai: ke ke fakamaau au, ʻE Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pea hangē ko ʻeku angatonu ʻoku ʻiate au.
8And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
9Tuku ke ngata ʻae kovi ʻoe angakovi, ka ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae angatonu: he ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi loto mo e ngaahi konga loto.
9The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
10ʻOku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻa hoku fakaū, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamoʻui ʻae kakai angatonu ʻi loto.
10The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
11ʻOku fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku houhau ʻae ʻOtua ki he angakovi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
11Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
12Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tafoki, te ne fakamata ʻa ʻene heletā; kuo ne teteke ʻene kaufana, ʻo teuteu ia.
12God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
13Kuo ne teuteu foki kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakapō; ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻene ngaahi ngahau ki he kau fakatanga.
13Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
14Vakai, ʻoku langā ia ʻi he angakovi, pea kuo ne tuʻituʻia ʻae angapauʻu, pea fanauʻi ʻe ia ʻae kākā.
14And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
15Naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae luo, ʻo keli ia, pea kuo tō ia ki he luo naʻa ne ngaohi.
15Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
16ʻE foki ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene angapauʻu, pea ʻe tō hifo ki hono tumuʻaki ʻoʻona ʻa ʻene ngāue fakamālohi.
16He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
17Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene māʻoniʻoni: pea te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ʻoku māʻolunga taha pe.
17His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
