Psalms 89
1 The understanding of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing the mercies of the Lord in eternity. I will announce your truth with my mouth, from generation to generation.
Ko e Saame akonaki ʻa Itani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Esela. Te u hiva ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻo taʻengata: te u fakaʻilo ʻaki hoku ngutu ʻa hoʻo moʻoni ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
2 For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. Your truth will be prepared there.
He naʻaku pehē, “ʻE fokotuʻumaʻu pē ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻo taʻengata: ko hoʻo moʻoni te ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he ngaahi langi.”
3 I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant:
Kuo u fai ʻae fuakava mo ʻeku fili, kuo u fuakava ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.
4 I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity. And I will build up your throne, from generation to generation.
“Te u fakatuʻumaʻu ho hako ʻo taʻengata, te u fokotuʻu ho puleʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē.” (Sila)
5 The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, and also your truth, in the Church of the saints.
Pea ʻe fakamālō ʻe he ngaahi langi ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo, ʻE Sihova: mo hoʻo moʻoni foki ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni.
6 For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? Who among the sons of God is like God?
He ko hai ʻi he langi ʻe fakatatau ia kia Sihova? Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻoe mālohi ʻe faʻa fakatatau kia Sihova?
7 God is glorified by the counsel of the saints. He is great and terrible above all those who are around him.
ʻOku totonu ke manavahē lahi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni, pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻu takatakai kiate ia.
8 O Lord, God of hosts, who is like you? You are powerful, Lord, and your truth is all around you.
ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko hai ʻoku tatau mo koe ko Sihova māfimafi? Pea ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻoku kāpui koe.
9 You rule over the power of the sea, and you even mitigate the movement of its waves.
ʻOku ke puleʻi ʻae ngaue mālohi ʻoe tahi: ʻoka hou hono ngaahi peau, ʻoku ke fakatofukī ia.
10 You have humbled the arrogant one, like one who has been wounded. You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength.
Kuo ke fesiʻi ʻa Lehapi ke lailai, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tāmateʻi; kuo fakahēʻi ho ngaahi fili ʻaki ho nima mālohi.
11 Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness.
ʻOku ʻoʻou ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou foki mo e fonua: ko māmani mo hono fonu ʻo ia kuo ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
12 You created the north and the sea. Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name.
Kuo ke ngaohi ʻae potu tokelau mo e potu tonga: ko Tepoa mo Heamoni ʻe fiefia ʻi ho huafa.
13 Your arm acts with power. Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted.
ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae nima māfimafi ʻoku mālohi ho nima, pea māʻolunga ho nima toʻomataʻu.
14 Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne. Mercy and truth will precede your face.
Ko e angatonu mo e fakamaau ko e tuʻunga ia ʻo ho ʻafioʻanga: ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e moʻoni.
15 Blessed is the people that knows jubilation. They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord,
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻae ongoongo fakafiefia: tenau ʻaʻeva, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
16 and they will exult in your name all day long, and they will be exalted in your justice.
Te nau fiefia ʻi ho huafa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē: pea ʻi hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻe hakeakiʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
17 For you are the glory of their virtue, and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.
He ko koe ko e vikivikiʻanga ʻo honau mālohi: pea ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ʻe hiki ai ki ʻolunga honau nifo.
18 For our assumption is of the Lord, and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel.
He ko homau hūfanga ʻa Sihova; pea ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli ko homau tuʻi.
19 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people.
Pea naʻa ke toki folofola ʻi he meʻa ha mai ki hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u hilifaki ʻae tokoni ki ha tokotaha ʻoku mālohi; kuo u fakahikihiki ʻae tokotaha kuo fili mei he kakai.
20 I have found my servant David. I have anointed him with my holy oil.
Kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻa Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pea kuo u tākai ʻaki ia ʻa ʻeku lolo māʻoniʻoni:
21 For my hand will assist him, and my arm will fortify him.
ʻE tuʻumaʻu hoku nima mo ia: ko hoku nima foki ʻe fakamālohiʻi ia.
22 The enemy will have no advantage over him, nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him.
ʻE ʻikai fai fakamālohi kiate ia ʻe he fili; pe fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he foha ʻoe angakovi.
23 And I will cut down his enemies before his face. And those who hate him, I will turn to flight.
Pea te u taaʻi hifo hono ngaahi fili ʻi hono ʻao, pea tautea ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate ia.
24 And my truth and my mercy will be with him. And his horn will be exalted in my name.
Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻa ʻeku moʻoni mo ʻeku ʻaloʻofa: pea ʻi hoku huafa ʻe hiki ki ʻolunga ai ʻa hono nifo.
25 And I will place his hand on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.
Te u ʻai foki hono nima ki he tahi, mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ngaahi vaitafe.
26 He will invoke me: “You are my father, my God, and the support of my salvation.”
ʻE tangi ia kiate au, ‘Ko koe ko ʻeku Tamai, ko hoku ʻOtua, mo e maka ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.’
27 And I will make him the first-born, preeminent before the kings of the earth.
Pea te u ngaohi foki ia ko hoku ʻuluaki foha, ʻe māʻolunga lahi ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.
28 I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, and my covenant for him faithfully.
Te u tuku ʻeku ʻaloʻofa maʻana ʻo taʻengata, pea ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻeku fuakava mo ia.
29 And I will set his offspring from generation to generation, and his throne like the days of heaven.
Te u ngaohi foki hono hako kenau tolonga ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe langi.
30 But if his sons abandon my law, and if they do not walk in my judgments,
“Kapau ʻe liʻaki ʻeku akonaki ʻe heʻene fānau, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fakamaau;
31 if they profane my justices, and if they do not keep my commandments:
Kapau tenau maumauʻi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ʻikai tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau;
32 I will visit their iniquities with a rod, and their sins with a beating.
Pea te u toki ʻaʻahi ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaki ʻae meʻa kini, mo ʻenau hia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi tā.
33 But I will not scatter my mercy from him, and I will not do harm to my truth.
Ka ʻe ʻikai te u hiki ʻaupito ʻeku manavaʻofa ʻiate ia, pe tuku taʻehoko ʻa ʻeku moʻoni.
34 And I will not profane my covenant, and I will not make void that which proceeds from my lips.
ʻE ʻikai te u liʻaki ʻeku fuakava, pe fakakehe ʻae meʻa kuo ʻalu atu ʻi hoku loungutu.
35 I have sworn by my holiness one time: I will not lie to David,
“Kuo u fuakava tuʻo taha ʻi heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻe ʻikai te u loi kia Tevita.
36 his offspring will remain for eternity. And his throne will be like the sun in my sight,
ʻE tolonga ʻene fānau ʻo taʻengata, mo hono nofoʻa ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi hoku ʻao.
37 and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven.
ʻE fakatuʻumaʻu ia ke taʻengata ʻo hangē ko e māhina, pea hangē ko e fakamoʻoni ʻi he langi.” (Sila)
38 Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, you have pushed away, my Christ.
Ka kuo liʻaki mo fākaliliʻa, mo ke houhau kiate ia naʻa ke pani.
39 You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. You have profaned his sanctuary on earth.
Kuo ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fuakava ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki: kuo ke fakakoviʻi hono tatā ʻi hoʻo lī ia ki he kelekele.
40 You have destroyed all his fences. You have made his territory dreadful.
Kuo ke maumauʻi hifo hono ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē; kuo ke fakaʻauha hono ngaahi potu mālohi.
41 All who pass by the way have plundered him. He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.
Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoku nau kaihaʻa ʻiate ia: ko e manukiʻanga ia ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapi.
42 You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. You have brought joy to all his enemies.
Kuo ke hiki hake ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hono ngaahi fili; kuo ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
43 You have diverted the help of his sword, and you have not assisted him in battle.
Kuo ke liliu foki ʻae mata ʻo ʻene heletā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke ngaohi ia ke tuʻu ʻi he tau.
44 You have torn him away from cleansing, and you have smashed his throne down to the ground.
Kuo ke fakaʻosi hono nāunau, pea lī hono nofoʻa ki he kelekele.
45 You have reduced the days of his time. You have flooded him with confusion.
Kuo ke fakafuonounou ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻene talavou: kuo ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia ʻae mā. (Sila)
46 How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? Will your wrath flare up like a fire?
ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Te ke fakafufū koe ʻo taʻengata? ʻE vela ho houhau ʻo hangē ko e afi?
47 Remember what my substance is. For could you really have appointed all the sons of men in vain?
Manatu ki hono fuonounou ʻo ʻeku moʻui: ko e hā kuo ke ngaohi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke taʻeʻaonga?
48 Who is the man that will live, and yet not see death? Who will rescue his own soul from the hand of the underworld? (Sheol h7585)
Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he mate? ʻE fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻa hono laumālie mei he nima ʻoe faʻitoka? (Sila) (Sheol h7585)
49 O Lord, where are your mercies of antiquity, just as you swore to David in your truth?
ʻE ʻEiki, ko e fē hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ʻi muʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke fuakava ʻaki kia Tevita ʻi hoʻo moʻoni?
50 Be mindful, O Lord, of the disgrace of your servants (which I have sustained in my sinews) among many nations.
Manatu, ʻE ʻEiki, ki he manukiʻi ʻo hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki; mo ʻeku fua ʻi hoku fatafata ʻae manuki ʻae kakai mālohi kotoa pē;
51 With these, your enemies have reproached you, O Lord; with these, they have reproached the commutation of your Christ.
ʻAia kuo manuki ʻaki ʻe ho ngaahi fili, ʻE Sihova; ʻaia kuo nau manuki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻo ia kuo ke pani.
52 Blessed is the Lord for all eternity. Amen. Amen.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni, mo ʻEmeni.
