Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Ko e hā ʻoku matalili ai ʻae hiteni? Pea fakalaulauloto ʻae kakai ki he meʻa noa pē?
1Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
2ʻOku tuʻu hake fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea fakakaukau fakataha ʻae kau pule kia Sihova mo ia kuo ne pani, ʻo pehē,
2The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:
3“Ke tau motuhi ʻena ngaahi haʻi pea liʻaki ʻena ngaahi afo ʻiate kitautolu.”
3'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
4Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi langi ʻe kata ia: ʻe manuki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.
4He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
5Pea te ne toki folofola kiate kinautolu ʻi hono houhau, pea fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono tuputāmaki lahi.
5Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
6Ka kuo u fakanofo ʻeku tuʻi ki Saione, ko e moʻunga ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
6'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
7“Te u fakahā ʻae tuʻutuʻuni:” naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe kuo u fakatupu koe ʻi he ʻaho ni.
7I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
8Ke ke lea kiate au, pea te u foaki ʻae ngaahi hiteni ko ho tofiʻa, mo e ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani moʻou.
8Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
9Te ke maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea; pea te ke laiki ke lailai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻumea.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'
10Pea ko eni, ke poto ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: pea maʻu ʻae akonaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fakamaau ʻo māmani.
10Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
11Tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻi he manavahē, pea fiefia ʻi he tetetete.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12ʻUma ki he ʻAlo, telia naʻa houhau ia, pea te mou ʻauha mei he hala, ʻoka tupu siʻi pe hono houhau. ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
12Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
