Berean Standard Bible
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
1Taumaiā ke ke haeʻi ʻae ngaahi langi, koeʻuhi ke ke hāʻele hifo, koeʻuhi ke tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
2as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
2ʻO hangē ʻoku ulo ʻae afi vela, ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he afi ʻae vai ke lili, ke pehē hoʻo fakahā ho huafa ki ho ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke tetetete ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻi ho ʻao!
3When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
3ʻI hoʻo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamanavahē ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻamanaki ki ai, naʻa ke hāʻele hifo, naʻe tafe hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi ho ʻao ʻi hoʻo ʻafio mai.
4From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
4He talu ʻae kamataʻanga ʻo māmani ʻoku teʻeki fanongo, pe ongoʻi ʻe he telinga, pe mamata ʻe ha mata, ki ha ʻOtua mo koe, ʻaia kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē ni maʻanautolu ʻoku tatali kiate ia.
5You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
5ʻOku ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻoku fiefia pea fai māʻoniʻoni, kiate kinautolu ʻoku manatu kiate koe ʻi ho ngaahi hala: vakai, ʻoku ke houhau; he kuo mau fai angahala: ka ʻoku tuʻumaʻu ʻena , pea te mau moʻui.
6Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
6ʻOku mau tatau kotoa pē mo e taʻemaʻa, pea ʻoku tatau ʻemau māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē mo e ngaahi konga holoholo fakalielia; pea ʻoku mau mae kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e louʻakau; pea ko ʻemau ngaahi hia, ʻo hangē ko e matangi, kuo ne ʻāvea ʻakimautolu.
7No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
7Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku ui ki ho huafa, pe ueʻi ʻe ia ia ke puke kiate koe: he kuo ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate kimautolu, pea kuo fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻemau ngaahi hia.
8But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
8Ka ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko ʻemau tamai; ko e ʻumea ʻakimautolu, pea ko homau ngaohi koe: pea ko e ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
9Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
9ʻOua naʻa ke houhau lahi, ʻE Sihova, pe manatu maʻuaipē ki he hia: vakai, pea ʻafioʻi, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, he ko hoʻo kakai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
10Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
10Kuo hoko ko e toafa ʻa hoʻo ngaahi kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko e potu liʻaki ʻa Saione, kuo ʻauha ʻa Selūsalema.
11Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
11Kuo vela ʻi he afi ʻa homau fale matamata ʻeiki mo māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia naʻe fakamālō ai kiate koe ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai: pea kuo maumau ʻemau ngaahi meʻa lelei kotoa pē.
12After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
12Te ke taʻofi koe, ʻE Sihova, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni? Te ke fakalongo pe, pea fakamamahi lahi ʻakimautolu?
