Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻE Sihova, ke ke fanongo ki he meʻa totonu, tokanga ki heʻeku tangi fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai mei he loungutu kākā.
1Hear the right, O LORD , attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2Ke haʻu mei ho ʻao ʻa hoku fakamaau; ke ʻafioʻi ʻe ho fofonga ʻaia ʻoku totonu.
2Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3Naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi hoku loto; naʻa ke ʻaʻahi kiate au ʻi he poʻuli; kuo ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ha meʻa; kuopau pe hoku loto ʻe ʻikai hala hoku ngutu.
3Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻae tangata, ʻi he folofola ʻo ho loungutu kuo u taʻofi ʻaki au mei he ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻoe fakaʻauha.
4Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5Ke ke tokoni ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi ho ngaahi hala, ke ʻoua naʻa hekea hoku vaʻe.
5Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6ʻE ʻOtua naʻaku ui kiate koe, he te ke ongoʻi au: ke ke fakatokangaʻi ho telinga kiate au, pea fanongo ki heʻeku lea.
6I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7Fakahā hoʻo ʻaloʻofa fakamanavahē, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamoʻui ʻaki ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate koe meiate kinautolu ʻoku tuʻu hake kiate kinautolu.
7Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them .
8Ke ke tauhi au ʻo hangē ko e tamaʻimata, fakafufū au ʻi he malu ʻo ho kapakau,
8Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9Mei he kau angakovi ʻaia ʻoku nau taʻomia au, mei hoku ngaahi fili fakapō, ʻoku nau kāpui au.
9From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10Kuo ʻāʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki honau fuʻu sino: ʻoku nau lea fakafielahi ʻaki honau ngutu.
10They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11Ko eni kuo nau kāpui ʻakimautolu ʻi homau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga: kuo nau fakamamaʻu honau mata ʻo sio hifo ki he kelekele;
11They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12ʻO hangē ko e laione ʻoku holi ki he kai, pea hangē ko e laione mui ʻoku toitoi ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo.
12Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13Tuʻu hake, ʻE Sihova, ʻo taʻofi ia, lī ia ki lalo: fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he tangata angakovi, ʻaia ko hoʻo heletā:
13Arise, O LORD , disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14ʻE Sihova, mei he kau tangata ʻoku ʻi ho nima, mei he kau tangata ʻo māmani, ʻoku nau maʻu honau ʻinasi ʻi he moʻui ni, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ke fakapito honau kete ʻaki hoʻo koloa fufū: ʻoku nau fonu ʻi he ngaahi fānau, pea ʻoku nau tuku hono toe ʻo ʻenau koloa ki heʻenau kau valevale.
14From men which are thy hand, O LORD , from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15Ka ko au, te u mamata ki ho fofonga ʻi he māʻoniʻoni: te u fiemālie au, ʻo kau ka ʻā hake, ʻi ho tatau.
15As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
