Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
1Hiva kalanga ki he ʻOtua ko hotau mālohi, kalanga fakafiefia ki he ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
2Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
2Toʻo mai ʻae saame, pea ʻomi ʻae kihiʻi lali, mo e haʻape mālie mo e saliteli.
3Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
3Ifi mālohi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi he māhina foʻou, ʻi he ʻaho kuo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻi hotau ʻaho kātoanga mamalu.
4For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
4He ko e fekau eni ki ʻIsileli, mo e fono ʻae ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.
5He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
5Naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni eni ʻia Siosefa ko e fakamoʻoni, ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ai ki he lea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
6“I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
6“Naʻaku hiki ʻae kavenga mei hono uma: naʻe hao hono nima mei he ngaahi kato.
7You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah
7Naʻa ke ui ʻi he mamahi, pea ne u fakamoʻui koe: naʻaku talia koe ʻi he potu lilo ʻoe mana: ne u ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ʻi he vai ʻo Melipa. Sila.
8Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
8Fanongo, ʻE hoku kakai, pea te u fakapapau kiate koe: ʻE ʻIsileli, kapau te ke tokanga mai kiate au;
9There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
9ʻOua naʻa fokotuʻu ha ʻotua foʻou kiate koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke hū ki ha ʻotua foʻou.
10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
10Ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, naʻaku ʻomi koe mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: fakamanga ho ngutu ke lahi, pea te u fakafonu ia.
11But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
11“Ka naʻe ʻikai fie tokanga ʻa hoku kakai ki hoku leʻo; pea naʻe ʻikai manako ʻa ʻIsileli kiate au.
12So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
12Ko ia ne u fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ki he holi kovi ʻa honau loto: pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻenau ngaahi filioʻi.
13If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
13ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tokanga ʻa hoku kakai kiate au, pea ʻeveʻeva ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hoku ngaahi hala!
14how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
14Pehē, kuo u fakavaivaiʻi leva honau ngaahi fili, ʻo mafao atu hoku nima ki honau kau fakamamahi.
15Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
15Pea ko e kau fehiʻa kia Sihova kuo nau fakavaivai ʻakinautolu kiate ia: ka ʻe tolonga ʻo taʻengata honau ngaahi ʻaho.
16But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
16Kuo ne fafanga foki ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae uite mātuʻaki lelei: pea u fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae hone mei he maka.”
