1ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
1LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
2Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
2Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
3He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka.
3For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol.
4ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
4I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
5ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
5set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
6Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
6You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
7ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. Sila.
7Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. Selah.
8Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
8You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can’t escape.
9ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
9My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, LORD. I have spread out my hands to you.
10Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? Sila.
10Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the departed spirits rise up and praise you? Selah.
11ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
11Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
12ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
12Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
13But to you, LORD, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
14ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
14LORD, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
15ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
16Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
16Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
17Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
17They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
18Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
18You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
