Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻE Sihova, ke ke manatu ki he meʻa kuo hoko kiate kimautolu: tokanga pea ke ʻafio ki homau taukae.
1Remember, O LORD , what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
2Kuo liliu homau tofiʻa ki he kau muli, ʻa homau ngaahi fale ki he ʻāuhē.
2Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3Ko e kau faʻē mate mo tamai mate ʻakimautolu, ko ʻemau ngaahi faʻē kuo hangē kuo mate ʻa honau ngaahi husepāniti.
3We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4Kuo mau inu vai ʻi he totongi paʻanga, ko ʻemau fefie ʻoku fakatau kiate kimautolu.
4We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5ʻOku māʻulalo ʻa homau kia ki he fakatanga: ʻoku mau ngāue pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mālōlō.
5Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
6Kuo mau fekuku nima mo e kau ʻIsipite, pea mo e kau ʻAsilia, ke mau mākona ʻi he mā.
6We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7Naʻe fai angahala ʻa ʻemau ngaahi tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai, pea kuo mau fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
7Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8Kuo pule ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kiate kimautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha niʻihi ʻoku fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei honau nima.
8Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
9Naʻa mau maʻu meʻakai ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻo ʻemau moʻui, koeʻuhi ko e heletā ʻi he toafa.
9We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10Naʻe ʻuliʻuli ʻa homau kili ʻo hangē ko e ngotoʻumu, ko e meʻa ʻi he honge fakamanavahē.
10Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11Naʻa nau tohotoho ʻae kau fefine ʻi Saione, ʻae kau tāupoʻou ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta.
11They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12ʻOku tautau ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki mei honau nima, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻae mata ʻoe kau mātuʻa.
12Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13Naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau talavou ke momosi, pea naʻe tō hifo ʻae tamaiki ʻi he lalo ʻakau.
13They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14Kuo ʻosi ʻae kau mātuʻa mei he matapā, ʻae kau talavou mei he fasi hiva.
14The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
15Kuo ʻosi ʻae fiefia ʻa homau loto; kuo liliu ʻa ʻemau meʻe ko e mamahi.
15The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16Kuo tō ʻae tatā fakatuʻi mei homau ʻulu. ʻOiauē ʻakimautolu! He kuo mau fai angahala.
16The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni ʻoku vaivai homau loto; koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku nenefu homau mata.
17For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18Koeʻuhi ko e moʻunga ʻo Saione, ʻaia ʻoku lala pē, ʻoku ʻaʻeva ai ʻae fanga fokisi.
18Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻo taʻengata, ko ho ʻafioʻanga ʻoku mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.
19Thou, O LORD , remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
20Ko e hā ʻoku ke fakangaloʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo taʻengata, pea mahuʻi meiate kimautolu ʻo fuoloa?
20Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21Fakatafokiʻi ʻakimautolu kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, pea te mau liliu moʻoni; fakafoʻou homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi muʻa.
21Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD , and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22Ka kuo ke mātuʻaki liʻaki ʻakimautolu; ʻoku ke houhau ʻaupito kiate kimautolu.
22But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
