Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
1Fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE ʻotua; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū koe mei heʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
2Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
2ʻAfio mai kiate au, mo ke ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou lāunga ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea tangi kalanga;
3at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
3Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻoe fili, koeʻuhi ko e taʻomia ʻe he kau angakovi: he kuo nau tuku ʻae hia kiate au, pea ʻi he ʻita ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.
4My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
4ʻOku mamahi lahi hoku loto ʻiate au: pea kuo tō kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻoe mate.
5Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
5Kuo hoko kiate au ʻae manavahē mo e tetetete, pea kuo lōmakiʻi au ʻe he lilika.
6I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
6Pea naʻaku pehē, Taumaiā ke u maʻu ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e lupe! Koeʻuhi ke u puna atu, pea fiemālie ai.
7How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah
7Vakai, te u ʻalu ʻo hē ki he mamaʻo, pea u nofo ʻi he toafa. Sila.
8I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
8Te u ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo hao mei he matangi lahi mo e afā.
9O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
9Fakaʻauha, ʻE Sihova, pea vahevahe honau ʻelelo: he naʻaku mamata ki he fakamālohi mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he kolo.
10Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
10ʻOku nau ʻalu fano ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻo ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: ʻoku ʻi loto ʻi ai ʻae pauʻu mo e mamahi.
11Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
11ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae kovi: ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻi mei hono ngaahi hala ʻae fakamālohi mo e kākā.
12For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
12He naʻe ʻikai ko ha fili ʻaia naʻa ne lauʻikoviʻi au; ka ne pehē, te u faʻa kātaki ia: pea naʻe ʻikai ko ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate au ʻaia kuo hiki hake ia kiate au ka ne pehē, te u faʻa fufū au meiate ia.
13But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
13Ka ko koe ia, ko e tangata ʻoku ta tatau, ko hoku fakahinohino, mo hoku kaumeʻa.
14We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
14Naʻa ta alea lelei mo au, pea ʻalu fakataha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
15Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.
15Ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻe he mate, pea tuku ke ʻalu vave hifo ʻakinautolu ki hētesi: he ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kovi.
16But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
16Ka ko au te u ui ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻe fakamoʻui au ʻe Sihova.
17Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
17ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu, mo tangi leʻo lahi: pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
18He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
18Kuo ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie ʻi he melino mei he tau naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au: he naʻe ʻiate au ʻae tokolahi.
19God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
19ʻE ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio talu mei muʻa, pea te ne tautea ʻakinautolu. Sila. Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau feliliuʻaki, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē ai ki he ʻOtua.
20My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
20Naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻe nonofo ʻi he melino mo ia: kuo maumauʻi ʻe ia ʻene fuakava.
21His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
21Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu naʻe molemole lahi hake ʻi he pota, ka naʻe ʻi hono loto ʻae tau: naʻe molū lahi ʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he lolo, ka ko e moʻoni ko e ngaahi heletā ia kuo unuhi.
22Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
22Ke ke tuku hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, pea te ne poupou koe: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tuku ke ngaue ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
23But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
23Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻOtua te ke ʻohifo ʻakinautolu ki he luo ʻoe fakaʻauha: ko e kau tangata pani toto mo ngāue kākā ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻusia hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi ʻaho; ka te u falala kiate koe.
