Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ʻeku maama mo hoku fakamoʻui ʻa Sihova; te u manavahē kia hai? Ko e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea te u manavahē kia hai?
1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2ʻI he haʻu kiate au ʻae kau angahala, ko hoku ngaahi fili mo e kau fakamamahi kiate au, ke kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakano, naʻa nau tūkia ʻo hinga.
2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3Kapau ʻe fakataha ʻae kautau ke tauʻi au, ʻe ʻikai manavahē hoku loto; neongo ʻae tuʻu mai ʻae tau kiate au, te u falala pe ʻi he meʻa ni.
3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4Ko e meʻa ʻe taha kuo u kole kia Sihova, ʻaia te u kumi ki ai; koeʻuhi ke u nofomaʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ke mamata ki he lelei ʻo Sihova, mo fehuʻi ʻi hono faletapu.
4One thing have I desired of the LORD , that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD , and to enquire in his temple.
5He te ne fufū au ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga: te ne fufū au ʻi he potu lilo ʻo hono fale fehikitaki; te ne fokotuʻu au ki he funga maka.
5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6Pea ko eni, ʻe hiki ke māʻolunga hake hoku ʻulu ki hoku ngaahi fili ʻoku takatakai au: ko ia te u ʻohake ʻi hono fale fehikitaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ʻae fiefia; te u hiva, ʻio, te u hiva ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
6And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD .
7Ke ke ongoʻi, ʻE Sihova, ʻo kau ka tangi ʻaki hoku leʻo: ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai foki kiate au, ʻo talia au.
7Hear, O LORD , when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8ʻI hoʻo folofola pehē , “Mou kumi ki hoku fofonga; naʻe pehē leva ʻe hoku loto kiate koe, Ko ho fofonga, ʻE Sihova, te u kumi.”
8When thou saidst , Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD , will I seek.
9ʻOua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga ʻiate au; ʻoua naʻa ke tukuange hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho houhau: naʻa ke tokoni au; ʻoua naʻa ke tuku au, pe siʻaki au, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku moʻui.
9Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10ʻOka liʻaki au ʻe heʻeku tamai mo ʻeku faʻē, ʻe toʻo hake au ʻe Sihova.
10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11ʻAko kiate au ho hala, ʻE Sihova, mo tataki au ʻi he hala ʻilongofua, koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD , and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12ʻOua naʻa ke tukuange au ki he loto ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: he kuo tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate au ʻae kau fakamoʻoni loi, mo ia ʻoku mānava ʻaki ʻae fai kovi.
12Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13Ka ne ʻikai te u tui ke u mamata ki he finangalo ʻofa ʻo Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui, pehē kuo u ilifia.
13I had fainted , unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14ʻAmanaki lelei kia Sihova: pea ke lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi ho loto: ʻoku ou pehē, ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
14Wait on the LORD : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD .
