King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
1ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, mou fanongo ki he lea ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu!
2Thus saith the LORD , Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
2ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua te mou ako ki he hala ʻoe hiteni, pea ʻoua te mou ilifia ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he langi, he ʻoku ilifia ki ai ʻae hiteni.
3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
3He ko e vaʻinga ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai: he ʻoku tā ʻaki ha toki ʻe ha taha ʻae ʻakau ʻi he vao, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga.
4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
4ʻOku nau teuteu ia ʻaki ʻae siliva mo e koula; pea ʻoku nau fakamaʻu ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi faʻo pea mo e ngaahi hamala, ke ʻoua naʻa ngaueue ia.
5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
5ʻOku nau tuʻu tonu ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ponga, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea: ʻoku fua ʻakinautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻeveʻeva. Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ha kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha fai lelei.”
6Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD ; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
6He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku hangē ko koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoku ke lahi koe, pea ʻoku lahi ho huafa ʻi he māfimafi.
7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
7Ko hai ʻe taʻemanavahē kiate koe, ʻA koe, ko e Tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga? He ʻoku ʻaʻau ia. He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku tatau mo koe, ʻi he kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kakai, pe ʻi honau ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
8But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
8Ka ʻoku nau anga fakamanu pea vale ʻaupito: ko e meʻa akonaki ki he vale ʻae tamapua.
9Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men .
9ʻOku ʻomi ʻae siliva lafalafa mei Tasisi, pea mo e koula mei ʻUfase, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga, mo e nima ʻoe tangata ngaohi ukamea; ko honau kofu ʻoku ʻuliʻuli mo kulokula: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻae kau tangata poto.
10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
10Ka ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻoni, ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ko e Tuʻi taʻengata: pea ʻe ngaueue ʻa māmani ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa kātaki ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa ʻene tuputāmaki.
11Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
11“Pea te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae ngaahi langi, mo māmani, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi māmani, pea mei he lalo langi.’”
12He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
12Kuo ne ngaohi ʻae kelekele ʻaki hono mālohi, kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻene ʻilo, pea kuo ne folahi ʻae ngaahi langi ʻi heʻene poto.
13When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
13ʻOku folofola ia ʻaki hono leʻo, ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he langi, pea ʻoku ne fakatupu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻao mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila mo e ʻuha, pea ne ʻomi ʻae matangi mei hono ngaahi tukuʻanga koloa.
14Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
14ʻOku vale ʻi he ʻilo ʻae tangata kotoa pē: ʻoku puputuʻu ʻae tufunga kotoa pē ʻi he tamapua kuo tā: he ko e loi ʻene tamapua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi ai.
15They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
15Ko e vaʻinga ʻakinautolu, ko e ngāue ʻae vale: pea ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tautea ai ʻakinautolu.
16The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
16ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo kinautolu ʻae ʻinasi ʻo Sēkope: he ko e tupuʻanga ia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; pea ko e fuofua ʻo hono tofiʻa ko ʻIsileli: Ko hono huafa ko Sihova.
17¶ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
17ʻA koe ko e nofo kolo, ke ke tānaki ho ngaʻotoʻota ʻo ke hola ʻi he fonua.
18For thus saith the LORD , Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so .
18He ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, “Vakai, te u lī ʻae kakai ni ʻi he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e maka tā, pea te u fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ongoʻi ia.”
19¶ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
19Kuo u malaʻia ʻi hoku lavea! ʻOku lahi hoku kafu: ka naʻaku pehē, “Ko e mamahi moʻoni eni, ka te u kātaki pe ia.”
20My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
20Kuo hae hoku fale fehikitaki, pea kuo motuhi ʻeku maea kotoa pē: kuo ʻalu ʻiate au ʻeku fānau, pea kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ke toe folahi ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki, pea ke tautau hoku puipui.
21For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD : therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
21He kuo liliu ʻo anga fakakakano ʻae kau tauhi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau kumi kia Sihova: ko ia ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia, pea ʻe fakamovetevete honau kakai.
22Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
22Vakai, ʻoku ongo mai ʻae ongoongo ʻoe longoaʻa, pea mo e maveuveu lahi mei he fonua tokelau, ke fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ke ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni.”
23¶ O LORD , I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
23ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata pe hono hala: ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ke fakahinohino hono ʻaluʻanga.
24O LORD , correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
24ʻE Sihova, ke ke taaʻi au, pea ke fai ʻi he ʻofa; ʻoua naʻa ʻi ho houhau, telia naʻa ke fakaʻauha au.
25Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
25Lilingi ho houhau ki he hiteni ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe, pea ki he ngaahi kaunga fale ʻoku ʻikai ui ki ho huafa: he kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa Sēkope, pea kuo folo hifo ia, pea kuo nau fakaʻauha ia, pea fakalala hono nofoʻanga.
