Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:
1Mou fanongo ki he meʻa ni, ʻae kakai kotoa pē; fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani:
2Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
2ʻAe māʻulalo mo e māʻolunga, ʻae maʻumeʻa mo e masiva, fakataha.
3God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
3ʻE lea hoku ngutu ʻi he poto; pea ʻe kau ki he ʻilo ʻae fakakaukau ʻa hoku loto.
4He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.
4Te u fakatokangaʻi hoku telinga ki he lea fakatātā: te u fakahā ʻi he haʻape ʻeku lea ʻilongataʻa.
5Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.
5Ko e hā te u manavahē ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kovi, ʻoka takatakai au ʻe he hia ʻo hoku vaʻe?
6And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.
6Ko kinautolu ʻoku falala ki heʻenau mālohi, ʻo polepole ʻi hono lahi ʻo ʻenau koloa;
7Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.
7ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ʻe hanau tokotaha ke huhuʻi hono tokoua, pe ʻatu ki he ʻOtua hano totongi:
8I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
8He ko e huhuʻi ʻo honau laumālie ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi, pea ʻoku tuku ai pe ia ʻo taʻengata:
9I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.
9Koeʻuhi ke ne kei moʻui maʻuaipē, pea ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
10For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
10He ʻoku ne mamata ʻoku mate ʻae kau tangata poto, pea ʻoku ʻauha foki ʻae tangata vale pea mo e taʻeʻilo, ʻonau tuku ʻenau koloa ki he kakai kehe.
11I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.
11ʻOku mahalo ʻa honau loto, ʻe tuʻumaʻu pē honau fale ʻo taʻengata, mo honau ngaahi nofoʻanga ki he toʻutangata kotoa pē; ʻoku nau fakahingoa honau ʻapi ki honau hingoa ʻonautolu.
12If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
12Ka ko e moʻoni ko e tangata ʻoku māʻolunga ʻoku ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia: ʻoku tatau ia mo e fanga manu ʻoku ʻauha.
13Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?
13Pea ko honau hala ni ko ʻenau vale ia: ka ʻoku mālieʻia honau hako ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lea. Sila.
14Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.
14Kuo tuku ʻakinautolu ki he faʻitoka ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi; ʻe fafanga ʻaki ʻae mate ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe maʻu ʻae mālohi kiate kinautolu ʻe he kakai angatonu ʻi he pongipongi; pea ʻe ʻauha honau matamatalelei ʻi he faʻitoka mei honau nofoʻanga.
15And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
15Ka ʻe huhuʻi hoku laumālie ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mālohi ʻoe faʻitoka: he te ne maʻu au. Sila.
16But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
16ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē koe ʻoka hoko ʻo koloaʻia ha tokotaha, ʻi he tupu pē ʻae nāunau ʻo hono fale;
17Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.
17He ʻoka mate ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fua ʻo ʻave ha meʻa ʻe taha: ʻe ʻikai muimui hifo ʻiate ia hono nāunau.
18If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
18Ka ʻi heʻene moʻui naʻa ne tāpuaki hono laumālie: pea ʻe fakamālō ʻae kakai kiate koe, ʻoka ke ka fai lelei kiate koe.
19Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.
19ʻE ʻalu ia ki he toʻutangata ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai; ʻe ʻikai tenau mamata ki he maama.
20Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother’s son:
20Ko e tangata ʻoku māʻolunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai poto, ʻoku tatau ia mo e fanga manu ʻoku ʻauha.
21These things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
