1Te u hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata: te u fakaʻilo ʻaki hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo moʻoni ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
1A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.
2He naʻaku pehē, “ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu pē ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻo taʻengata: ko hoʻo moʻoni te ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he ngaahi langi.”
2Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3Kuo u fai ʻae fuakava mo ʻeku fili, kuo u fuakava ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.
3Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
4“Te u fakatuʻumaʻu ho hako ʻo taʻengata, te u fokotuʻu ho puleʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.” Sila.
4For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past. And as a watch in the night,
5Pea ʻe fakamālō ʻe he ngaahi langi ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo, ʻE Sihova: mo hoʻo moʻoni foki ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
5Things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6He ko hai ʻi he langi ʻe fakatatau ia kia Sihova? Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe mālohi ʻe faʻa fakatatau kia Sihova?
6In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7ʻOku totonu ke manavahē lahi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai kiate ia.
7For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
8ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hai ʻoku tatau mo koe ko Sihova māfimafi? Pea ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku kāpui koe.
8Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
9ʻOku ke puleʻi ʻae ngaue mālohi ʻoe tahi: ʻoka hou hono ngaahi peau, ʻoku ke fakatofukī ia.
9For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away. Our years shall be considered as a spider:
10Kuo ke fesiʻi ʻa Lehapi ke lailai, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tāmateʻi; kuo fakahēʻi ho ngaahi fili ʻaki ho nima mālohi.
10The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years. But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow. For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
11ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e fonua: ko māmani mo hono fonu ʻo ia kuo ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
11Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear
12Kuo ke ngaohi ʻae potu tokelau mo e potu tonga: ko Tepoa mo Heamoni ʻe fiefia ʻi ho huafa.
12Can number thy wrath? So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
13ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae nima māfimafi ʻoku mālohi ho nima, pea māʻolunga ho nima toʻomataʻu.
13Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
14Ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo ho ʻafioʻanga: ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
14We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
15ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻae ongoongo fakafiefia: tenau ʻaʻeva, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
15We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
16Te nau fiefia ʻi ho huafa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: pea ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻe hakeakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
16Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
17He ko koe ko e vikivikiʻanga ʻo honau mālohi: pea ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻe hiki ai ki ʻolunga honau nifo.
17And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
18He ko homau hūfanga ʻa Sihova; pea ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli ko homau tuʻi.
