Saame 143
1Hear my prayer, O LORD; give ear to my pleas for mercy! In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
1ʻE SIHOVA, fanongo ki heʻeku lotu, fakafanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu: pea ʻi hoʻo moʻoni mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni, ke ke talia au.
2Enter not into judgment with your servant, for no one living is righteous before you.
2Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakamaauʻi hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ʻi ho ʻao ha tangata moʻui ʻe tokotaha.
3For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
3He kuo fakatanga hoku laumālie ʻe he fili; kuo ne taaʻi hifo ʻeku moʻui ki he kelekele; kuo ne pule ke u nofo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu kuo fuoloa ʻenau mate.
4Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.
4Ko ia kuo taʻomia ai ʻa hoku laumālie; kuo lala hoku loto ʻiate au.
5I remember the days of old; I meditate on all that you have done; I ponder the work of your hands.
5ʻOku ou manatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa; ʻoku ou fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē; ʻoku ou fifili ki he ngāue ʻa ho nima.
6I stretch out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.Selah
6ʻOku ou mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe: ʻoku holi ʻa hoku laumālie kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko e fonua fieinua. Sila.
7Answer me quickly, O LORD! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit.
7ʻE Sihova, ʻafio vave kiate au: kuo vaivai ʻa hoku laumālie: ʻoua naʻa fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au, telia naʻaku tatau mo kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻalu hifo ki he luo.
8Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
8Ke ke fakatokangaʻi au ke u fanongo ki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he pongipongi; he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe: fakaʻilo mai kiate au ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke u ʻalu ai; he ʻoku ou hiki hake hoku laumālie kiate koe.
9Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD! I have fled to you for refuge!
9Fakamoʻui au, ʻE Sihova, mei hoku ngaahi fili: ʻoku ou hola kiate koe ke fakafufū au,
10Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground!
10Akonakiʻi au ke u fai ki ho finangalo; he ko koe ko hoku ʻOtua; tuku ke tataki au ʻe ho Laumālie lelei, ki he fonua ʻoe angatonu.
11For your name’s sake, O LORD, preserve my life! In your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble!
11ʻE Sihova, fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ke ke ʻomi hoku laumālie mei he mamahi.
12And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies, and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul, for I am your servant.
12Pea ʻi hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ke ke motuhi hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fakamamahi ki hoku laumālie: he ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au.
