Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In that day shall this canticle be sung the land of Juda. Sion the city of our strength a saviour, a wall and a bulwark shall be set therein.
1ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva ni ʻi he fonua ki Siuta; “ʻOku tau maʻu ʻae kolo mālohi; ʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fakamoʻui ki hono ngaahi ʻā mo hono ngaahi puke.
2Open ye the gates, and let the just nation, that keepeth the truth, enter in.
2Mou toʻo ʻae ngaahi matapā, koeʻuhi ke hū ai ʻae puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae moʻoni.
3The old error is passed away: thou wilt keep peace: peace, because we have hoped in thee.
3Te ke tauhi ia ʻi he melino haohaoa, ʻaia ʻoku faʻaki hono loto kiate koe: koeʻuhi ʻoku ne falala kiate koe.
4You have hoped in the Lord for evermore, in the Lord God mighty for ever.
4Mou falala kia Sihova ʻo lauikuonga: he ʻoku ʻi he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae māfimafi taʻengata.
5For he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust.
5He ʻoku ne ʻomi ki lalo ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he māʻolunga; ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kolo māʻolunga, ʻoku ne fakamoʻulaloa ia, ʻio, ki he kelekele ʻoku ne ʻomi ia ki he efu.
6The foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.
6ʻE malaki hifo ia ʻaki ʻae vaʻe, ʻio, ʻae vaʻe ʻoe paea, pea mo e laka ʻae masiva.”
7The way of the just is right, the path of the just is right to walk in.
7Ko e hala ʻoe angatonu ko e māʻoniʻoni ia: ʻa koe, ko e fungani māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ke fakamamafa ʻae hala ʻoe angatonu.
8And in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, we have patiently waited for thee: thy name, and thy remembrance are the desire of the soul.
8ʻIo, kuo mau tatali kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he hala ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau; ʻoku holi ʻa homau laumālie ki ho huafa, pea ʻi he fakamanatu kiate koe.
9My soul hath desired thee in the night: yea, and with my spirit within me in the morning early I will watch to thee. When thou shalt do thy judgments on the earth, the inhabitants of the world shall learn justice.
9Kuo u holi ʻi hoku laumālie kiate koe ʻi he pō; ʻio, te u kumi vave kiate koe ʻaki ʻa hoku laumālie ʻi loto ʻiate au: he ka ʻi he fonua ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau, ʻe toki ako ʻae kakai ʻo māmani ki he māʻoniʻoni.
10Let us have pity on the wicked, but he will not learn justice: in the land of the saints he hath done wicked things, and he shall not see the glory of the Lord.
10Ke hā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he angakovi, ka e ʻikai te ne ako ki he māʻoniʻoni: ʻi he fonua ʻoe angatonu te ne fai kākā, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ki he māfimafi ʻa Sihova.
11Lord, let thy hand be exalted, and let them not see: let the envious people see, and be confounded: and let fire devour thy enemies.
11ʻE Sihova, ʻoka hiki hake ho nima, ʻe ʻikai te nau mamata: ka te nau mamata, pea te nau mā koeʻuhi ko e meheka ki hoʻo kakai; ʻio, ʻe ʻauha ʻi he afi ʻa ho ngaahi fili.
12Lord, thou wilt give us peace: for thou hast wrought all our works for us.
12¶ ʻE Sihova te ke tuʻutuʻuni ʻae fiemālie maʻanautolu: he kuo ke fai ʻe koe ʻa ʻemau ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻiate kimautolu.
13O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, only in thee let us remember thy name.
13ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, kuo puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi ʻeiki kehe: ka e talu mei heni te mau takua ho huafa ʻoʻou.
14Let not the dead live, let not the giants rise again: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and best destroyed all their memory.
14Kuo nau mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau moʻui; kuo nau pekia, ʻe ʻikai te nau toetuʻu: ko ia kuo ke ʻaʻahi mo fakaʻauhaʻi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo ke fakangata honau fakamanatu kotoa pē.
15Thou hast been favourable to the nation, O Lord, thou hast been favourable to the nation: art thou glorified? thou hast removed all the ends of the earth far off.
15Kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻae puleʻanga, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fakatokolahi ʻae puleʻanga: kuo fakaongoleleiʻi koe: kuo ke fakamanatu ʻae ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
16Lord, they have sought after thee in distress, in the tribulation of murmuring thy instruction was with them.
16ʻE Sihova, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki kuo mau ʻaʻahi kiate koe, naʻa mau lilingi ʻae lotu ʻi he hoko hoʻo tautea kiate kimautolu.
17As a woman with child, when she draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs: so are we become in thy presence, O Lord.
17Hangē ʻoku mamahi ha fefine feitama, ʻoka fakaʻaʻau ke ofi ʻene fāʻele, pea ʻoku tangi ʻi heʻene langā: kuo pehē ʻakimautolu ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE Sihova.
18We have conceived, and been as it were in labour, and have brought forth wind: we have not wrought salvation on the earth, therefore the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
18Naʻa mau tuituʻia, naʻa mau mamahi, ʻo hangē kuo mau fanauʻi ʻae matangi; naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ha fakamoʻui ʻi he fonua; pea ʻoku teʻeki ke hinga ʻae kakai ʻo māmani.
19Thy dead men shall live, my slain shall rise again: awake, and give praise, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is the dew of the light: and the land of the giants thou shalt pull down into ruin.
19ʻE moʻui ʻa hoʻo kakai mate, te nau toetuʻu fakataha mo hoku sino mate ni. Mou ʻa ʻo hiva, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he efu: he ʻoku tatau hoʻo hahau mo e hahau ʻoe mohuku mata, pea ʻe puʻaki ʻe he kelekele ʻae mate.
20Go, my people, enter into thy chambers, shut thy doors upon thee, hide thyself a little for a moment, until the indignation pass away.
20¶ Haʻu, ʻa hoku kakai, pea hū ki homou ngaahi loki, pea tāpuni ho matapā kiate koe: fufū koe ʻo fuoloa siʻi, kaeʻoua ke mole atu ʻae houhau.
21For behold the Lord will come out of his place, to visit the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth against him: and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall cover her slain no more.
21He vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ʻa Sihova mei hono potu ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻo māmani koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia: pea ʻe fakahā ʻe he fonua hono toto, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻufiʻufi hono kakai kuo tāmateʻi.
