Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo; ne u kole tāumaʻu kia Sihova ʻaki hoku leʻo.
1Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
2Naʻaku lilingi ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi hono ʻao; ne u fakahā ʻi hono ʻao ʻeku mamahi.
2And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3ʻI he taʻomia ʻa hoku laumālie, ne ke ʻilo ai hoku ʻaluʻanga. ʻI he hala ne u ʻeveʻeva ai kuo nau ʻai fufū ʻae tauhele kiate au.
3For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
4Ne u sio, mo vakai ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne ʻiloʻi au: naʻe ʻikai haʻaku hūfanga; naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha tangata ki hoku laumālie.
4And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
5Naʻaku tangi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova; ne u pehē, Ko koe ko hoku hūfanga, mo hoku ʻinasi ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
5I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
6Ke ke tokanga ki heʻeku tangi; he ʻoku ou vaivai ʻaupito: fakamoʻui au mei hoku kau fakatanga; he ʻoku nau mālohi hake kiate au.
6I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
7ʻOmi hoku laumālie mei he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ke u fakamālō ai ki ho huafa: ʻe kāpui au ʻe he angatonu; he te ke fai lelei lahi kiate au.
7Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
