King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Thus saith the LORD , Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
1ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Kofaʻā ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fakamavae ʻo hoʻo faʻē, ʻaia kuo u tukuange? Pea ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu naʻe totonu ke u totongi ki ai kuo u fakatau ʻakimoutolu ki ai? Vakai, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi hia kuo mou fakatau ʻakimoutolu, pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala ko ia kuo tukuange ai hoʻomou faʻē.
2Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
2Ko e hā, ʻi heʻeku haʻu, naʻe ʻikai ai ha tangata? ʻI heʻeku ui, naʻe ʻikai ha taha ke lea mai? He kuo fakanounou hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa faʻa huhuʻi ia? Pe ʻoku ʻikai haku mālohi ke fakamoʻui? Vakai, ʻi heʻeku valoki ʻoku ou fakamōmoa ʻae tahi, ʻoku ou liliu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ko e toafa: kuo namuaʻa ʻenau ngaahi ika, pea mate ʻi he fieinu koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha vai.
3I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
3ʻOku ou fakakofuʻaki ʻae langi ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ʻoku ou ngaohi ʻae tauangaʻa ko honau kofu.”
4The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
4Kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe poto, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo ke lea ʻaki ha lea ʻi he kuonga totonu kiate ia ʻoku vaivai: ʻoku ne ʻa ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ke ne fafangu hoku telinga ke ongoʻi ʻo hangē ko e poto.
5¶ The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
5Kuo fakaava ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻa hoku telinga, pea naʻe ʻikai te u angatuʻu, pe foki kimui.
6I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
6Ne u ʻatu hoku tuʻa ki he kau taaʻi, pea mo hoku kouʻahe kiate kinautolu naʻe fusi ʻae kava: naʻe ʻikai te u fufū hoku mata mei he mā mo e ʻaʻanu.
7¶ For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
7He ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ko hoku tokoni; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ai te u puputuʻu: ko ia kuo u ngaohi hoku mata ke hangē ko e maka afi, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te u mā.
8He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
8ʻOku ofi mai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi au; ko hai te ne fai mo au? Ke ma tutuʻu fakataha: ko hai ʻoku fakafili kiate au? Tuku ke ne ʻunuʻunu mai.
9Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
9Vakai, ʻe tokoniʻi au ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova; ko hai ia te ne fakahalaia au? Vakai, te nau hoko ʻo motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu; ʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ane.
10¶ Who is among you that feareth the LORD , that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD , and stay upon his God.
10Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, pea talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ha maama? Tuku ke ne falala ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, pea faʻaki ki hono ʻOtua.
11Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
11Vakai, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku tutu ʻae afi, pea kāpui ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kalofiama: mou ʻeveʻeva ʻi he maama ʻo hoʻomou afi, pea ʻi he ngaahi kalofiama kuo mou tutu, ka te mou maʻu eni ʻi hoku nima; te mou tokoto hifo ʻi he mamahi.
