Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
1ʻOku lea ʻae talangataʻa ʻae angakovi ki hoku loto, “ʻoku ʻikai ha manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻao.”
2For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
2He ʻoku ne fakaholoholoʻi ʻe ia ia ʻi hono ʻao, ke ʻoua ke hoko ʻo hā mai ʻae kovi ʻo ʻene hia.
3Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
3Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu ko e kovi mo e kākā: kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻene poto mo e fai lelei.
4Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
4ʻOku ne fifili ki he pauʻu ʻi hono mohenga; ʻoku ne fokotuʻu ʻe ia ia ʻi he hala ʻoku ʻikai lelei; ʻoku ʻikai te ne fehiʻa ki he kovi.
5Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
5Ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi; pea ʻoku aʻu hake hoʻo angatonu ki he ngaahi ʻao.
6And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
6Ko hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua; ko hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ko e fuʻu moana; ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻae tangata mo e manu.
7Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
7ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga fau ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa! Ko ia ʻoku falala ai ʻae fānau ʻae tangata ki he malu ʻo ho kapakau.
8Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
8Te nau fonu lahi ʻi he mahu lelei ʻo ho fale; pea te ke fakainu ʻakinautolu ʻi he vaitafe ʻo hoʻo fiemālie.
9For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
9He ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae matavai ʻoe moʻui: temau mamata ʻi hoʻo maama ki he maama.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
10Ke tuʻumaʻu pe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo koe; mo hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he angatonu ʻi loto.
11But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
11ʻOua naʻa hoko kiate au ʻae vaʻe ʻoe laukau, pea ʻoua naʻa hiki au ʻe he nima ʻoe angakovi.
12The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
12Kuo hinga ʻi ai ʻae kau fai kovi: kuo lī ki lalo ʻakinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tuʻu hake.
13But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
