Psalms 66
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1For the Leader. A Song, a Psalm. Shout unto God, all the earth;
1Mou kalanga fiefia ki he ʻOtua, ʻae fonua kotoa pē:
2Sing praises unto the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.
2Hiva ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo hono huafa: fakaongoongolelei ʻae fakamālō kiate ia.
3Say unto God: 'How tremendous is Thy work! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thine enemies dwindle away before Thee.
3Mou pehē ki he ʻOtua, “ʻOku ke fakamanavahē koe ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue! Ko e meʻa ʻi hono lahi ʻo hoʻo māfimafi ʻe fakamoʻulaloa ai ʻekinautolu ʻe ho ngaahi fili kiate koe.
4All the earth shall worship Thee, and shall sing praises unto Thee; they shall sing praises to Thy name.' Selah
4ʻE hū ʻa māmani kotoa pē kiate koe, ʻonau hiva kiate koe; te nau hiva ki ho huafa.” Sila.
5Come, and see the works of God; He is terrible in His doing toward the children of men.
5Haʻu ʻo mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku fakamanavahē ia ʻi heʻene ngāue ki he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata.
6He turned the sea into dry land; they went through the river on foot; there let us rejoice in Him!
6Naʻa ne liliu ʻae tahi ko e fonua mōmoa: naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he fuʻu vaitafe ʻi honau vaʻe: naʻa tau fiefia ʻiate ia ʻi ai.
7Who ruleth by His might for ever; His eyes keep watch upon the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
7ʻOku pule ia ʻi heʻene māfimafi ʻo taʻengata; ʻoku vakai ʻe hono fofonga ki he ngaahi puleʻanga: ʻoua naʻa hiki hake ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau angatuʻu. Sila.
8Bless our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard;
8ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kakai, mou fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua, pea fai ke ongo ʻae leʻo ʻoe fakamālō kiate ia:
9Who hath set our soul in life, and suffered not our foot to be moved,
9ʻAia ʻoku ne poupou hotau laumālie ʻi he moʻui, pea ʻikai tuku hotau vaʻe ke ngaue.
10For Thou, O God, hast tried us; Thou hast refined us, as silver is refined.
10He kuo ke ʻiloʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻE ʻOtua: kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe siliva.
11Thou didst bring us into the hold; Thou didst lay constraint upon our loins.
11Naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he kupenga; naʻa ke ʻai ʻae mahaki ki homau kongaloto.
12Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but Thou didst bring us out unto abundance.
12Naʻa ke tuku ke laka ʻae kakai ʻi homau ʻulu; naʻa mau ʻalu pe ʻi he afi mo e vai: ka naʻa ke ʻomi ʻakimautolu ki he potu mahu.
13I will come into Thy house with burnt-offerings, I will perform unto Thee my vows,
13Te u hū ki ho fale mo e ngaahi feilaulau tutu: te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ngaahi fuakava,
14Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in distress.
14ʻAia kuo ongo atu mei hoku loungutu, pea lea ʻaki ʻe hoku ngutu, ʻi heʻeku ʻi he mamahi.
15I will offer unto Thee burnt-offerings of fatlings, with the sweet smoke of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah
15Te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻae fanga manu sino, mo e meʻa namu kakala ʻoe fanga sipitangata; te u ʻatu ʻae fanga pulu mo e fanga kosi. Sila.
16Come, and hearken, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul.
16Haʻu ʻo fanongo, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pea te u fakahā ʻaia kuo ne fai ki hoku laumālie.
17I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my tongue.
17Naʻaku tangi kiate ia ʻaki hoku ngutu, pea naʻe fakamālō ʻa hoku ʻelelo kiate ia.
18If I had regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear;
18Kapau te u tokanga ki he kovi ʻi hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au:
19But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.
19Ka ko e moʻoni kuo ongoʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua; naʻe tokanga ia ki he leʻo ʻo ʻeku lotu.
20Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me.
20Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻeku lotu, pe ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa ʻiate au.
