Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ke ke langomakiʻi au, ʻE Sihova, telia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au: ke ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau tauʻi au.
1Plead my cause , O LORD , with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2Toʻo ʻae fakaū mo e pā, pea tuʻuhake ko hoku tokoni.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3Unuhi mai foki ʻae tao, ʻo tāpuni ʻae hala kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi au: pea tala ki hoku laumālie, “ko au ko ho fakamoʻui.”
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4Tuku ke puputuʻu mo mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ki hoku laumālie: tuku ke fakafoki ki mui mo ilifia ʻakinautolu ʻoku puleakiʻi au.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5Tuku ke nau hangē ko e kafukafuʻi ʻakau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe matangi: pea tuku ke tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them .
6Tuku ke fakapoʻuli honau hala pea hekeheke: pea ke fakatanga ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova.
6Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
7He kuo nau ʻaʻau fakafufū ʻi he luo honau kupenga kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga; kuo nau keli ʻae luo ki hoku laumālie taʻehanoʻuhinga.
7For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8Ke hoko ʻae malaʻia kiate ia fakafokifā pe; pea ko e kupenga ʻoʻona ʻaia kuo ne ʻaʻau fufū tuku ke moʻua ai ia: tuku ia ke tō ki he malaʻia totonu ko ia.
8Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9Pea ʻe fiefia hoku laumālie ʻia Sihova: ʻe nekeneka ia ʻi heʻene fakamoʻui.
9And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD : it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10ʻE pehē ʻe hoku ngaahi hui kotoa pē, “ʻE Sihova, ko hai ʻoku hangē ko koe, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakahaofi ʻae masiva meiate ia ʻoku mālohi lahi ʻiate ia, ʻio, ʻae masiva mo e paea meiate ia ʻoku ne fakamālohiʻi ia?”
10All my bones shall say, LORD , who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau fakamoʻoni loi; naʻa nau tuku kiate au ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo.
11False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12Naʻa nau totongi kovi ki heʻeku lelei ke fakamasivaʻi hoku laumālie.
12They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13Ka ko au, naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, ʻi honau mahaki: naʻaku fakavaivai hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻaukai; pea naʻe foki mai ʻeku lotu ki hoku fatafata.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14Naʻaku fai ʻo hangē ko hoku kāinga ia, pe ko hoku tokoua: naʻaku tulolo hifo fakamamahi pē, ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoku tangi koeʻuhi ko ʻene faʻē.
14I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15Ka ʻi heʻeku tuʻutāmaki naʻa nau fiefia, ʻonau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu: ʻio, naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻae kakai faʻa tā ʻo tuʻu kiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa; naʻa nau haehae, pea naʻe ʻikai longo pē:
15But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea , the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me , and ceased not:
16Naʻa nau fakalili honau nifo kiate au, mo e kau mālualoi ʻoku manuki ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga.
16With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻo ʻafio ki ai? Fakamoʻui hoku laumālie mei heʻenau ngaahi fakamalaʻia, mo ʻeku moʻui mei he fanga laione.
17Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18Te u ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe ʻi he fakataha lahi: te u fakaongoongolelei koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai lahi.
18I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19ʻOua naʻa tuku ke fiefia kiate au ʻakinautolu kuo hoko noa pē ko hoku fili: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke lalama honau mata ʻakinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga.
19Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20He ʻoku ʻikai te nau lea lelei: ka ʻoku nau fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kākā kiate kinautolu ʻoku nofo fiemālie ʻi he fonua.
20For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21ʻIo, kuo nau fakamanga honau ngutu ʻo lahi kiate au, ʻonau pehē, “Ha ha, kuo mamata ki ai homau mata.”
21Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it .
22Kuo ke ʻafioʻi eni, ʻE Sihova: ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē: ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke mamaʻo ʻiate au.
22This thou hast seen, O LORD : keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23ʻE hoku ʻOtua mo hoku ʻEiki, ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ke ʻā ki hoku fakamaau, ʻio, ki hoku langomakiʻi.
23Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ke ke fakamaau au ʻo hangē ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni; pea ke ʻoua te nau fiefia kiate au.
24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25ʻOua naʻa pehē ʻekinautolu ʻi honau loto, “Ha, ko homau loto ia:” ʻoua te nau pehē, “Kuo tau folo hifo ia.”
25Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26Tuku ke mā mo manavahē fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiefia ʻi hoku lavea: tuku ke kofuʻaki ʻae mā mo e taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai fakafiefielahi kiate au.
26Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27Tuku ke kalanga fakafiefia, mo nekeneka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku loto lelei ki heʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻio, tuku ke nau lea pehē maʻuaipē, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku fiemālie ʻi he monūʻia ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.”
27Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28Pea ʻe lea ʻa hoku ʻelelo ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni mo ho ongoongolelei ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
28And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
