Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.
1ʻE ʻIsileli, tafoki kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua; he kuo ke tō ki lalo ʻi hoʻo hia.
2Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to Him: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.
2Toʻo kiate kimoutolu ʻae lea, pea tafoki kia Sihova: lea pehē kiate ia, “Toʻo atu ʻae hia kotoa pē, pea maʻu fakafiemālie ʻakimautolu: ko ia te mau ʻatu ai kiate koe ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo homau loungutu.
3Assyria will not save us, nor will we ride on horses. We will never again say, ‘Our gods!’ to the work of our own hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”
3ʻE ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻAsilia, ʻe ʻikai te mau heka ʻi he hoosi: pea ʻe ʻikai te mau toe pehē ki he ngāue ʻa homau nima, ‘Ko homau ʻotua ʻakimoutolu:’ he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he tamai mate ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻiate koe.”
4I will heal their apostasy; I will freely love them, for My anger has turned away from them.
4“Te u fakamoʻui ʻenau fakaholomui, te u ʻofa mataʻataʻatā kiate kinautolu: he kuo afe meiate ia ʻa hoku houhau.
5I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily and take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
5Te u hangē ko e hahau ki ʻIsileli: te ne tupu ʻo hangē ko e lile, pea totolo hono aka ʻo hangē ko Lepanoni.
6His shoots will sprout, and his splendor will be like the olive tree, his fragrance like the cedars of Lebanon.
6ʻE hoko ʻo lau lahi hono ngaahi vaʻa, pea ko hono lelei ʻe hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ʻolive, pea ko hono nanamu ʻe hangē ko Lepanoni.
7They will return and dwell in his shade; they will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.
7Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he malu ʻo ia, te nau toe haʻu; te nau toe moʻui hangē ko e koane, pea tupu ʻo hangē ko e vaine: ko hono nanamu, ʻe hangē ko e uaine ʻo Lepanoni.
8O Ephraim, what have I to do anymore with idols? It is I who answer and watch over him. I am like a flourishing cypress; your fruit comes from Me.
8ʻE pehē ʻe ʻIfalemi, Ko e hā te u toe kau ai mo e ngaahi tamapua? Kuo u fanongo, pea mamata kiate ia: ʻoku ou hangē ko e ʻakau mata ko e fea. ʻOku maʻu meiate au hoʻo fua.”
9Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.
9Ko hai ʻae poto, pea te ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? ʻAe fakapotopoto, pea te ne ʻiloʻi ia? He ko e ngaahi hala ʻo Sihova ʻoku totonu, pea ʻe ʻaʻeva ai ʻae angatonu: ka ʻe hinga hifo ai ʻae kau talangataʻa.
