Tongan Bible, Revised West VersionTranslation
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko e hā ʻoku ke fakamamaʻo ai, ʻE Sihova? Ko e hā ʻoku ke fakafufū ai koe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe mamahi?
1Why standest thou afar off, O LORD ? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2ʻI he fielahi ʻae angakovi ʻoku ne fakatangaʻi ʻae masiva: tuku ke moʻua ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi filioʻi ʻaia kuo nau fakakaukau ki ai.
2The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3He ʻoku polepole ʻae angahala ʻi he holi ʻa hono loto, ʻo ne fakamālō ki he manumanu ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sihova.
3For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4Ko e angahala, ʻi he fielahi ʻa hono mata, ʻe ʻikai te ne kumi ki he ʻOtua : ʻoku ʻikai kau ki he ʻOtua ʻene ngaahi mahalo kotoa pē.
4The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5ʻOku fakamamahi maʻuaipē hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga; ʻoku māʻolunga lahi hake hoʻo ngaahi fakamaau ʻo ʻulia ʻiate ia: pea ʻoku ne ifi atu ki hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
5His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6Kuo pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, “ʻE ʻikai te u ngaue: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u ʻi he mamahi mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.”
6He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7ʻOku fonu hono ngutu ʻi he kape, mo e kākā, mo e loi: ʻoku ʻi hono lalo ʻelelo ʻae pauʻu, mo e kovi.
7His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8ʻOku nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi toitoiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai: ʻoku fakapoongi ʻe ia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalilolilo: ʻoku siosio pau hono mata ʻi he fufū ki he masiva.
8He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9ʻOku tokoto tatali pe ia ʻi he potu lilo, ʻo hangē ko e laione ʻi hono ʻana: ʻoku tali tokoto ia ke ne pō ʻae masiva: ʻoku ne pō ʻae masiva, ʻi heʻene fakatauveleʻi ia ki heʻene hele.
9He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10ʻOku ne tulolo ʻo fakavaivai ia, koeʻuhi ke hinga ai ʻae masiva ʻi heʻene mālohi.
10He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11Naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, “Kuo ngalo ʻi he ʻOtua: ʻoku fufū ʻe ia hono fofonga ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne mamata ki ai.”
11He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it .
12Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova; ʻE ʻOtua, hiki hake ho nima: ʻoua naʻa fakangalongaloʻi ʻae angavaivai.
12Arise, O LORD ; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13Ko e hā ʻoku manuki ai ʻe he angakovi ki he ʻOtua? Naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻeke ki ai.”
13Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it .
14Kuo ke ʻafioʻi ia; he ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻae pauʻu mo e fakafāsifasi, ke totongi ia ʻaki ho nima: ʻoku tuku ia kiate koe ʻe he masiva; ko koe ko e tokoni ʻoe tamai mate.
14Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15Fesiʻi ʻe koe ʻae nima ʻoe tangata angahala mo angakovi: kumi ʻene ngaahi kovi kotoa pē ke ʻoua ke ʻosi.
15Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16Ko e Tuʻi ʻa Sihova, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata: kuo ʻauha ʻae hiteni mei hono fonua.
16The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17ʻE Sihova, kuo ke ongoʻi ʻae holi ʻae angavaivai: pea te ke teuʻi honau loto, te ke ʻange ho fofonga ke ʻafioʻi:
17LORD , thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18Ke fakamaau ʻae ngaahi tamai mate mo e kakai kuo taʻomia, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe fakailifiaʻi ʻe he tangata ʻoe fonua.
18To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
