Psalms 73
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
1Ko e moʻoni ʻoku angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli, ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
2Ka ko au naʻe meimei mole hoku vaʻe: naʻaku meimei hekea ʻi heʻeku ngaahi laka.
3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3He naʻaku meheka ʻi he kau vale, ʻi heʻeku mamata ki he fiemālie ʻae angakovi.
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
4He ʻoku ʻikai hanau mamahi ʻi heʻenau mate: ka ʻoku maʻu pe honau mālohi.
5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
5ʻOku ʻikai moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai kehe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kakai niʻihi.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
6Ko ia ʻoku takatakai ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he laukau ʻo hangē ko e ukamea fihifihi; ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻakinautolu ʻe he angamālohi ʻo hangē ko e kofu.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
7ʻOku hohopo honau mata ʻi heʻenau sino: ʻoku nau maʻu meʻa ʻo lahi hake ʻi he holi ʻoe loto.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
8Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea lea kovi ʻi he fakamālohi: ʻoku nau lea fakafiefielahi.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
9ʻOku nau hangatonu atu honau ngutu ʻo angatuʻu ki he ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ʻeveʻeva honau ʻelelo ʻi māmani.
10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
10Ko ia ʻoku liu mai ai ki heni hono kakai: pea ʻoku tatau ʻae vai kiate kinautolu ke pito ʻae ipu.
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
11Pea ʻoku nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻilo fēfē ʻe he ʻOtua? Pea ʻoku ai ha ʻilo ʻi he Fungani Māʻolunga?”
12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
12Vakai, ko eni ʻae kau angakovi ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he māmani; ʻoku tupu pē ʻenau koloa.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
13Ko e moʻoni ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻeku fakamaʻa hoku loto, mo ʻeku fanofano hoku nima ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
14He kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea kuo tautea au ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē,
15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
15Kapau te u tala, te u lea pehē; vakai, ko ʻeku fai hala ki he toʻutangata ʻo hoʻo fānau.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
16Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻahiʻahi ke ʻilo ʻae meʻa ni, naʻe faingataʻa ia kiate au;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
17Ka ʻi heʻeku hū ki he faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua; naʻaku toki ʻilo ai honau ikuʻanga.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
18Ko e moʻoni naʻa ke tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi potu hekeheke: kuo ke laku hifo ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fakaʻauha.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
19Kuo ʻomi vave ʻakinautolu ki he malaʻia, ʻo hangē ko e kemo pe taha ʻoe mata! Kuo fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ilifia.
20As a dream when one awaketh; so , O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
20Hangē ko e misi ʻoka ʻā hake ha taha; ke pehē pe, ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoka ke ka ʻā hake, te ke manukiʻi honau tatau.
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
21Naʻe mamahi pehē pe hoku laumālie, pea naʻe mahuhuhuhu ai hoku loto.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
22Naʻe pehē ʻeku vale, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo: naʻaku hangē ko e manu ʻi ho ʻao.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
23Ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻiate koe maʻuaipē: pea kuo ke puke au ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu.
24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
24Te ke tataki au ʻi hoʻo poto, pea hili ia te ke maʻu au ki ho nāunau.
25Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
25He ko hai mo koe ʻoku ou maʻu ʻi he loto langi? Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ʻoku ou holi ki ai, ka ko koe pē.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
26ʻOku vaivai hoku kakano mo hoku loto: ka ko e makatuʻu ʻo hoku loto ʻae ʻOtua, mo hoku ʻinasi ʻo taʻengata.
27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
27Vakai, ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamaʻo ʻiate koe: kuo ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu meiate koe ʻo fai kovi.
28But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD , that I may declare all thy works.
28Ka ʻoku lelei kiate au ʻeku ʻunuʻunu ke ofi ki he ʻOtua: kuo u falala ki he ʻEiki ko Sihova, koeʻuhi ke u fakahā ai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē.
