Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Ko e Lotu ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua. ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko homau hūfanga ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
ʻI he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea teʻeki ai te ke ngaohi ʻae fonua mo māmani, ʻio, talu mei muʻa ʻo aʻu ʻo taʻengata, ko koe pe ko e ʻOtua.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
ʻOku ke liliu ʻae tangata ke ʻauha; pea ke pehē, “Tafoki, ʻakimoutolu ʻae fānau ʻae tangata.”
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
He ʻoku tatau ʻi ho ʻao ʻae taʻu ʻe afe mo e ʻaneafi ʻi hono hili ange ia, pea mo e leʻo ʻi he pō.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
ʻOku ke ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻave ʻe he vaitafe; ʻoku nau hangē ko e mohe: ʻi he pongipongi ʻoku nau tatau mo e mohuku ʻoku tupu hake.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
ʻI he pongipongi ʻoku lau maʻuiʻui ia, pea tupu hake: ʻi he efiafi ʻoku tuʻusi hifo ia, pea mae.
7 For we are consumed in thine anger, and in thy wrath are we troubled.
He ʻoku mau ʻauha ʻi ho houhau, pea ʻoku mau mamahi ʻi ho tuputāmaki.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
Kuo ke tuku ʻemau ngaahi hia ʻi ho ʻao, pea mo ʻemau ngaahi angahala fufū ʻi he maama ʻo ho fofonga.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we bring our years to an end as a tale [that is told].
He ʻoku ʻosi atu homau ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi ho houhau: ʻoku mau fakaʻosi homau ngaahi taʻu ʻo hangē ko e talanoa ʻoku lau.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but labour and sorrow; for it is soon gone, and we fly away.
Ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo homau taʻu ko e taʻu ʻe fitungofulu; pea kapau ʻe hoko ia ʻi hono mālohi ke valungofulu, ko hono mālohi ko e ngāue mo e mamahi; he ʻoku tuʻusi vave ia, pea ʻoku mau puna atu.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger, and thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto thee?
Ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae mālohi ʻo ho houhau? ʻO hangē ko ho manavahēʻia, ʻoku pehē ho houhau.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may get us an heart of wisdom.
Ke pehē hoʻo akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke mau lau homau ngaahi ʻaho, koeʻuhi ke mau fakatokangaʻi homau loto ki he poto.
13 Return, O LORD; how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
Tafoki, ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa? Pea ke lolou koeʻuhi ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.
14 O satisfy us in the morning with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Ke ke fakamākona vave ʻakimautolu ʻaki hoʻo ʻaloʻofa; koeʻuhi ke mau fiefia mo nekeneka ʻi homau ʻaho fulipē.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
Ke ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi ʻaho ne ke fakamamahiʻi ai ʻakimautolu, pea mo e ngaahi taʻu kuo mau mamata ai ki he kovi.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory upon their children.
Pea ke tuku ke hā ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea mo ho nāunau ki heʻenau fānau.
17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Pea ke ʻiate kimautolu ʻae lelei ʻo Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: pea ke fokotuʻu ke maʻu ʻae ngāue ʻa homau nima kiate kimautolu; ʻio, ko e ngāue ʻa homau nima ke fakamaau ia.
