Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord.
1Te u hiva ʻaki ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamaau: ʻE Sihova, te u hiva kiate koe.
2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
2Te u fai fakapotopoto ʻi he hala haohaoa. Te ke hāʻele mai ʻafē kiate au? Te u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku fale ʻi he loto haohaoa.
3Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
3ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ha meʻa kovi ʻi hoku ʻao: ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he ngāue ʻanautolu kuo nau afe; ʻE ʻikai pipiki ia kiate au.
4For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
4ʻE ʻalu ʻiate au ʻaia ʻoku loto kovi: ʻE ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ha taha ʻoku kovi.
5I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
5Ko ia ʻoku fakakovi fakafufū hono kaungāʻapi, te u tuʻusi ia: ko ia ʻoku fiematamuʻa mo loto laukau ʻe ʻikai te u kātakiʻi.
6Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
6ʻE sio maʻu hoku mata ki he kakai angatonu ʻi he fonua, koeʻuhi ke mau nonofo mo au: ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he hala haohaoa, ko ia ia ʻe tauhi au.
7I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
7Ko ia ʻoku ne fai kākā ʻe ʻikai nofo ia ʻi hoku fale: ko ia ʻoku faʻa loi ʻe ʻikai te ne nofo ʻi hoku ʻao.
8I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
8ʻE vave ʻeku fakaʻauha ʻae kau angahala kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; koeʻuhi ke u tuʻusi ʻae kakai fai kovi kotoa pē mei he kolo ʻa Sihova.
9All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
