Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Naʻa ku tatali faʻa kātaki pe kia Sihova; pea ne tokanga kiate au, ʻone ongoʻi ʻeku tangi.
1I waited patiently for the LORD ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
2Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake au mei he luo fakailifia, mei he ʻumea pelepela, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hoku vaʻe ki he maka, ʻo fakamaʻu hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
2He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
3Pea kuo ne ʻai ʻae hiva foʻou ki hoku ngutu, ʻio, ʻae fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua: ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae tokolahi, pea manavahē, pea tenau falala kia Sihova.
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it , and fear, and shall trust in the LORD .
4ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻoku falala kia Sihova, pea ʻikai tokanga ia ki he kakai laukau, mo kinautolu ʻoku afe ki he loi.
4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻaia kuo ke fai, mo ho finangalo lelei kiate kimautolu: ʻe ʻikai faʻa lau fakaholo ia kiate koe: kapau te u fie fakahā ʻo lea ki ai, ʻoku lahi ʻaupito ia, ʻe ʻikai faʻa laua.
5Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them , they are more than can be numbered.
6Ko e feilaulau mo e meʻa foaki naʻe ʻikai te ke finangalo ki ai; ka ko hoku telinga kuo ke fakaava: ko e feilaulau tutu mo e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala naʻe ʻikai te ke fekau.
6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7Pea naʻaku toki pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu: kuo tohi ʻi he tohi tākai ʻiate au,
7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8ʻE hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fiefia ke fai ho finangalo: ʻio, ʻoku ʻi hoku loto hoʻo fono.”
8I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
9Naʻaku malangaʻaki ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi he fakataha lahi: vakai, naʻe ʻikai te u taʻofi hoku loungutu, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi.
9I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD , thou knowest.
10Naʻe ʻikai te u fakafufū hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ʻi hoku loto; naʻaku fakahā hoʻo angatonu mo hoʻo fakamoʻui: naʻe ʻikai te u fakalilolilo ʻa hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni mei he fakataha lahi.
10I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
11ʻE Sihova, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻofi hoʻo ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻiate au: tuku ke tauhi maʻuaipē au ʻe hoʻo ʻaloʻofa mo hoʻo moʻoni.
11Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD : let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
12He kuo kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi kovi taʻefaʻalaua: kuo puke au ʻe heʻeku ngaahi hia, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa hanga hake; ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko ia kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku loto.
12For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
13ʻE Sihova, ke ke finangalo lelei ke fakamoʻui au: ʻE Sihova, ke ke fai vave ke tokoniʻi au.
13Be pleased, O LORD , to deliver me: O LORD , make haste to help me.
14Tuku ke mā mo puputuʻu fakataha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau kumi hoku laumālie ke fakaʻauha ia; tuku ke fakafoki kimui mo mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau holi ke u kovi.
14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
15Tuku ke paea ʻakinautolu ko e totongi ʻo ʻenau kovi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē kiate au, “Ha ha.”
15Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
16Tuku ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻiate koe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kumi kiate koe: tuku ke lea pehē maʻuaipē ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hoʻo fakamoʻui, “Ke ongoongolelei ʻa Sihova.”
16Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
17Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo paea; ka ʻoku finangalo ʻae ʻEiki kiate au: ko koe ko hoku tokoni mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoua naʻa ke fakatuai, ʻE hoku ʻOtua.
17But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
