Psalms 88
1 A song or Psalme of Heman the Ezrahite to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah for him that excelleth upon Malath Leannoth. O Lord God of my saluation, I cry day and night before thee.
Ko e Hiva pe ko e Saame ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kola, ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he Mahalati Leanoti, ko e akonaki ʻa Hemani ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Esela. ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui, naʻaku tangi ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻi ho ʻao:
2 Let my prayer enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
Tuku ke aʻu atu ʻeku lotu ki ho ʻao ke ke fofonga mai ki heʻeku tangi;
He ʻoku fonu hoku laumālie ʻi he mamahi: pea ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻeku moʻui ki he faʻitoka. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted among them that go downe vnto the pit, and am as a man without strength:
ʻOku lau fakataha au mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he luo: ʻoku ou hangē ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai hano mālohi:
5 Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
ʻO tauʻatāina mo e kakai mate, ʻo hangē ko e kakai kuo tāmateʻi ʻoku tokoto ʻi he faʻitoka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei manatuʻi: pea kuo motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻe ho nima.
6 Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
Kuo ke tuku au ʻi he luo taumamaʻo, ʻi he fakapoʻuli, ʻi he ngaahi loloto.
7 Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. (Selah)
ʻOku tataʻo mamafa ho houhau ʻiate au, pea kuo ke fakamamahiʻi au ʻaki hoʻo ngaahi peau kotoa pē. (Sila)
8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.
Kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa; kuo ke ngaohi au ko e meʻa fakalielia kiate kinautolu: kuo ʻākilotoa au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu atu.
9 Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.
ʻOku vaivai hoku mata ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi: ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ui kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, kuo u mafao atu hoku nima kiate koe.
10 Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? (Selah)
Te ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ki he mate? ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae mate ʻo fakafetaʻi kiate koe? (Sila)
11 Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?
ʻE fakahā atu ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ʻi he faʻitoka? Pe ko hoʻo moʻoni ʻi he fakaʻauha?
12 Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
ʻE ʻiloʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻi he poʻuli? Mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fonua ʻoe fakangalo?
13 But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
Ka naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; pea ʻi he pongipongi ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu.
14 Lord, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?
ʻE Sihova, ko e hā ʻoku ke liʻaki ai ʻa hoku laumālie? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fufū ai ho fofonga ʻiate au?
15 I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
ʻOku ou mamahi, pea meimei mate talu ʻeku kei talavou: ʻi heʻeku kātaki hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakailifia ʻoku ou feinga ai ʻaupito.
16 Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
Kuo lōfia au ʻe ho houhau lahi; kuo motuhi au ʻe hoʻo ngaahi fakailifia.
17 They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me together.
Naʻa nau kāpui au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e vai; naʻa nau fakataha ʻo takatakai au.
18 My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.
Ko e kaumeʻaʻofa mo e kāinga kuo ke fakamamaʻo atu ʻiate au, mo hoku kaumeʻa ki he poʻuli.
