Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻOua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko e kau fai kovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kau ngāue ʻi he angahala.
1Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2Koeʻuhi ʻe vave ʻae tuʻusi hifo ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e mohuku, pea mae ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau mata.
2For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3Falala kia Sihova, pea ke fai lelei; ko ia te ke nofo ai ʻi he fonua, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe fafangaʻi koe.
3Trust in the LORD , and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4Fakafiemālieʻi foki koe ʻia Sihova; pea te ne foaki kiate koe ʻae ngaahi holi ʻo ho loto.
4Delight thyself also in the LORD ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Tuku ho hala kia Sihova; pea falala foki kiate ia; pea te ne fakahoko ia.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6Pea te ne fakahā atu hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e maama, mo hoʻo fakamaau ʻo hangē ko e hoʻatā ʻoe ʻaho.
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7Ke ke fakalongo pē kia Sihova, pea tatali faʻa kātaki pe kiate ia: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku monūʻia ʻi hono hala, koeʻuhi ko e tangata ʻoku fakahoko ʻae ngaahi filioʻi kovi.
7Rest in the LORD , and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8Tukuange ʻae ʻita, pea liʻaki ʻae lili: ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi foki koe ʻi ha meʻa ke fai kovi.
8Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9Koeʻuhi ʻe motuhi ʻae ngaahi fai kovi: ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova, te nau maʻu ʻae fonua.
9For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD , they shall inherit the earth.
10He ʻoku toetoe siʻi pē, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻae angakovi: ʻio, te ke tokanga lahi ki hono potu, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ia.
10For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be .
11Ka ko e angamalū tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono lahi ʻoe melino.
11But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12ʻOku fakakaukau kovi ʻe he angahala ki he angatonu, mo ngaiʻi kiate ia ʻaki hono nifo.
12The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13ʻE kata ʻa Sihova kiate ia: he ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku haʻu hono ʻaho.
13The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14Kuo unuhi ʻe he kau angakovi ʻae heletā, pea kuo nau teke ʻenau kaufana, ke lī ki lalo ʻae mamahi mo e paea, pea ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku angatotonu.
14The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15ʻE ʻasi ʻenau heletā ki honau loto ʻonautolu, pea ʻe mafesi ʻenau ngaahi kaufana.
15Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16ʻOku lelei lahi hake ʻae meʻa siʻi ʻoku ʻi he tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he koloa ʻoe tokolahi ʻoku angahala.
16A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17Koeʻuhi ʻe fesiʻi ʻae nima ʻoe kau angahala: ka ʻoku poupou ʻe Sihova ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe kakai angatonu: pea ko honau tofiʻa ʻe tolonga taʻengata.
18The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19ʻE ʻikai te nau mā ʻi he kuonga kovi, pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe honge tenau mākona.
19They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20Ka ʻe ʻauha ʻae angakovi, pea ʻe tatau ʻae ngaahi fili ʻo Sihova mo e ngako ʻoe fanga lami: ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu; ʻi he kohu tenau mole ʻo ʻosi.
20But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21ʻOku nō ʻae angakovi, pea ʻikai toe totongi: ka ʻoku fakahā ʻae ʻofa ʻe he māʻoniʻoni, ʻo foaki.
21The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22He ko kinautolu kuo tāpuekina ʻiate ia tenau maʻu ʻae fonua; pea ko kinautolu kuo malaʻia ʻiate ia ʻe motuhi.
22For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23ʻOku fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laka ʻae tangata lelei: pea ʻoku fiemālie ia ʻi hono hala.
23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD : and he delighteth in his way.
24Neongo ʻene tō ki lalo, ʻe ʻikai ʻauha ia: he ʻoku poupou hake ia ʻe he nima ʻo Sihova.
24Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25Naʻaku talavou, pea kuo u motuʻa; ka ʻoku teʻeki te u ʻilo ʻae māʻoniʻoni kuo liʻaki, pe ko hono hako ʻoku kole mā.
25I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26ʻOku angaʻofa maʻuaipē ia, pea faʻa ʻatu; pea ʻoku monūʻia hono hako.
26He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27Afe mei he kovi, pea ke fai lelei, pea nofomaʻu pē ʻo taʻengata.
27Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28He ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he fakamaau, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne liʻaki hono kakai māʻoniʻoni; kuo fakamoʻui maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu: ka ʻe motuhi ʻae hako ʻoe angakovi.
28For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29ʻE maʻu ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻa e fonua, pea tenau nofo ai ʻo taʻengata.
29The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30Ko e ngutu ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻae poto, pea talanoa ʻaki hono ʻelelo ʻae fakamaau.
30The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31ʻOku ʻi hono loto ʻae fono ʻa hono ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai hekea ia ʻi haʻane laka ʻe taha.
31The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32ʻOku lamasi ʻe he angakovi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻo kumi ke fakapoongi ia.
32The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33ʻE ʻikai tukuange ia ʻe Sihova ʻi hono nima, pe tukuakiʻi ia ʻi hono fakamaauʻi.
33The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34Tatali kia Sihova, pea tauhi hono hala, pea te ne hakeakiʻi koe ke maʻu ʻae fonua: pea ka ʻosi hono motuhi ʻae kakai angakovi, te ke mamata ki ai.
34Wait on the LORD , and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it .
35Naʻaku mamata ki he angakovi kuo mālohi lahi, pea mafola ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau maʻuiʻui ʻoku tupu ʻi hono potu ʻoʻona.
35I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36Ka naʻe mole atu ia, pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ia: ʻio, ne u kumi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ia.
36Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37Vakai ki he tangata haohaoa, mo tokanga ki he angatonu: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe tangata ko ia ko e melino.
37Mark the perfect man , and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38Ka ʻe fakaʻauha fakataha ʻae kau angahala: ko e ikuʻanga ʻoe angakovi ʻe motuhi ia.
38But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39Ka ko hono fakamoʻui ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻia Sihova: ko honau mālohi ia ʻi he kuonga ʻoe mamahi.
39But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD : he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40Pea ʻe tokoni ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu: te ne fakahaofi ʻakinautolu mei he kakai angakovi, mo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau falala kiate ia.
40And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
