Psalms 22

1 To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

Ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he ʻAilete-Sahala, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au? Ko e hā ʻoku ke mamaʻo ai mei he tokoni kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi lea ʻo ʻeku tangi?

2 O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

‌ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou tangi ʻi he ʻaho, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ongoʻi; pea ʻi he pō, ʻoku ʻikai te u longo pē.

3 But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

Ka ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae ngaahi fakafetaʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.

4 Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

Naʻe falala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe: naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.

5 They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

Naʻa nau tangi kiate koe, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: naʻa nau falala kiate koe, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mā.

6 But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

Ka ko e kelemutu au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata: ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe tangata, ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai.

7 I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamata kiate au ʻoku nau kata manuki kiate au: ʻoku nau fakalili honau ngutu, mo kalokalo ʻae ʻulu, mo nau pehē,

8 He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

“Naʻa ne falala kia Sihova ke ne fakamoʻui ia: tuku ke ne fakamoʻui ia, he naʻa ne fiemālie ʻiate ia.”

9 But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

Ka ko koe ia naʻe toʻo au mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē: naʻa ke fakaʻamanakiʻi au ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi he huhu ʻo ʻeku faʻē.

10 I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

Naʻe lī au kiate koe mei he manāva: ko hoku ʻOtua Koe talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

‌ʻOua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au: he ʻoku ofi ʻae mamahi; he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke tokoni.

12 A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

Kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata lahi: kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fanga pulu tangata mālohi mei Pesani.

13 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

Naʻa nau fakamanga honau ngutu kiate au, ʻo hangē ko e laione fekai mo ngungulu.

14 I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

Kuo lilingi au ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea kuo homo hoku ngaahi hui kotoa pē: kuo tatau hoku loto mo e pulu: kuo fakamolū ia ʻi hoku loto fatu.

15 My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

Kuo mōmoa ʻo ʻosi hoku mālohi ʻo hangē ko e ipu kuo maumau; pea ʻoku piki maʻu hoku ʻelelo ki hoku ʻaoʻi ngutu; pea kuo ke ʻohifo au ki he efu ʻoe mate.

16 Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

He kuo kāpui au ʻe he fanga kulī: kuo ʻāʻi au ʻe he fakataha ʻoe ngaahi angakovi: naʻa nau hokaʻi hoku nima mo hoku vaʻe.

17 I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

‌ʻOku ou faʻa lau hoku hui kotoa pē: ʻoku nau mamata mo siosio pau kiate au.

18 They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

‌ʻOku nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻiate kinautolu, mo fai ʻae talotalo ki hoku pulupulu.

19 Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

Kaeʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au, ʻE Sihova: ʻE hoku mālohi, ke ke fakatoʻotoʻo ke tokoni au.

20 Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he heletā; mo ʻeku moʻui mei he mālohi ʻoe kulī.

21 Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

Fakamoʻui au mei he ngutu ʻoe laione: he kuo ke ongoʻi au mei he ngaahi nifo ʻoe fanga liimi.

22 I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

Te u fakahā ho huafa ki hoku ngaahi kāinga: ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fakataha te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe.

23 You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

“ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, fakafetaʻi kiate ia; fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻakimoutolu ko e hako ʻo Sēkope; pea manavahē kiate ia, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ko e hako ʻo ʻIsileli.

24 For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

He naʻe ʻikai te ne manuki pe fehiʻa ki he mamahi ʻoe mamahiʻia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fufū hono fofonga ʻiate ia; ka ʻi heʻene tangi kiate ia naʻa ne ongoʻi.”

25 My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

‌ʻE ʻiate koe pe ʻeku fakafetaʻi ʻi he fakataha lahi: te u fakamoʻoni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia.

26 The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

‌ʻE kai ʻe he angamalū ke mākona; ʻe fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate ia: ʻe moʻui taʻengata homou laumālie.

27 All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

‌ʻE manatu mo tafoki kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani: pea ʻe lotu ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

He ʻoku ʻo Sihova ʻae puleʻanga; pea ko e pule ia ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga.

29 All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

Ko kinautolu ʻoku sino ʻi māmani te nau kai mo lotu: ʻe punou ʻi hono ʻao ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he efu: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa fakamoʻui hono laumālie ʻoʻona.

30 A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

‌ʻE tauhi ia ʻe ha hako; pea ʻe lau ia ko e toʻutangata kia Sihova,

31 They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.

Te nau haʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻene māʻoniʻoni ki ha kakai ʻe fanauʻi, “Kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni.”
