Psalms 116
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
ʻOku ou ʻofa kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo mo ʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakatokangaʻi hono fofonga kiate au, ko ia te u ui ai ki heʻene ʻafio ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻaho.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, pea naʻe puke au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻo heli: naʻaku ʻilo ai ʻae tuʻutāmaki mo e mamahi. (Sheol h7585)
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
Pea naʻaku toki ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova; “ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie.”
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
ʻOku manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova, mo māʻoniʻoni; ʻio, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻOtua.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
ʻOku fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae taʻekākā: naʻaku vaivai pea naʻa ne tokoniʻi au.
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
ʻE hoku laumālie, ke ke foki ki ho mālōlōʻanga; he kuo lahi ʻae foaki ʻa Sihova kiate koe.
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
He kuo ke fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei he mate, mo hoku mata mei he loʻimata, mo hoku vaʻe ke ʻoua naʻa hinga.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
Te u ʻeveʻeva, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
Naʻaku tui, ko ia kuo u lea ai: “Naʻaku mahaki lahi:”
11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”
Naʻaku pehē ʻi heʻeku toʻotoʻo, “ʻOku loi ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
Ko e hā te u ʻatu kia Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi meʻaʻofa kotoa pē kiate au?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
Te u toʻo ʻae ipu ʻoe fakamoʻui, pea te u ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.
Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.
ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻae pekia ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni.
16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
ʻE Sihova, ko e moʻoni ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au; ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki au, mo e tama ʻa hoʻo kaunanga: kuo ke vete hoku ngaahi haʻi.
17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi, pea ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
Te u fai ni ʻeku ngaahi fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai kotoa pē,
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
ʻI he ngaahi lotoʻā ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻE Selūsalema. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
