JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ʻOua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa tuku kiate kimautolu, ka ki ho huafa ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, pea mo hoʻo moʻoni.
1Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
2Ko e hā ʻe pehē ai ʻe he hiteni, “Ko e fē honau ʻOtua?”
2Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
3Ka ko hotau ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi langi: kuo ne fai ʻaia kuo ne finangalo ki ai.
3But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
4Ko honau ngaahi tamapua ko e siliva mo e koula, ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata.
4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5ʻOku ai honau ngutu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea: ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mata, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau mamata:
5They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
6ʻOku nau telinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ongoʻi: ʻoku ai honau ihu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau nanamu:
6They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
7ʻOku nau maʻu ʻae nima, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ala ki ha meʻa: ʻoku ai honau vaʻe, ka ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻaʻeva: pea ʻoku ʻikai tenau lea ʻaki honau kia.
7They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
8Ko kinautolu ʻoku ngaohi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tatau mo kinautolu: pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala ki ai.
8They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
9ʻE ʻIsileli, ke ke falala kia Sihova ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
9O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
10ʻE fale ʻo ʻElone, ke ke falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
10O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
11ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku manavahē kia Sihova, mou falala kia Sihova: ko honau tokoni ia mo honau fakaū.
11Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
12Kuo manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻakitautolu: te ne tāpuaki ʻakitautolu; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli; te ne tāpuaki ʻae fale ʻo ʻElone.
12The LORD hath been mindful of us, He will bless — He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13Te ne tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kia Sihova, ʻae iiki mo e lalahi.
13He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14ʻE fakatokolahi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Sihova, pea te mou tupu pe, ʻakimoutolu mo hoʻomou fānau.
14The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
15ʻOku mou monūʻia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
15Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
16ʻOku ʻo Sihova ʻae langi, ʻio, ko e ngaahi langi: pea kuo ne foaki ʻa māmani ki he fānau ʻae tangata.
16The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.
17ʻOku ʻikai fakamālō kia Sihova ʻae mate, pe ha taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo ki he fakalongo pē.
17The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
18Ka te tau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova mei he ʻaho ni ʻo taʻengata. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
18But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
