Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻOku mapuna hake ʻi hoku loto ʻae meʻa lelei: te u lea ki he meʻa kuo u ngaohi ki he tuʻi: ko hoku ʻelelo ko e peni ki he tohi vave.
1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2ʻOku ke fakaʻofoʻofa lahi ʻi he ngaahi fānau ʻae tangata: kuo lilingi ʻae ʻofa ki ho loungutu: ko ia kuo fakamonūʻia ai koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo lauikuonga.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3ʻE Fungani Māfimafi ke ke nonoʻo hoʻo heletā ki ho tuʻatenga, ʻi ho nāunau mo ho mālohi.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4Pea ʻi hoʻo māfimafi ke ke hāʻele monūʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he moʻoni mo e angavaivai mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe ako kiate koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakailifia.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5ʻOku māsila hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi he loto ʻoe ngaahi fili ʻoe tuʻi; ʻoku tō ki lalo ʻae kakai ʻiate koe.
5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7ʻOku ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala: ko ia ko e ʻOtua ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8ʻOku namu mula, mo ʻalosi, mo kāsia, ʻa ho ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, mei he ngaahi fale lei, ʻaia kuo nau fakafiefiaʻi koe.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9Naʻe ʻi hoʻo kau fefine ongolelei ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: naʻe tuʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he koula mei Ofeli.
9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10Fakafanongo, ʻE ʻofefine, pea tokanga, ʻo fakatokangaʻi ho telinga; fakangaloʻi foki hoʻo kakai ʻaʻau, mo e fale ʻo hoʻo tamai;
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11Ko ia ʻe manako lahi ai ʻae tuʻi ki ho hoihoifua: he ko ho ʻEiki ia; pea ke hū kiate ia.
11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Taia mo e meʻaʻofa; ko e kau koloaʻia ʻi he kakai te nau kumi lahi ki hoʻo ʻofa.
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
13Ko e ʻofefine ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku lelei lahi ʻi loto; ko hono ngaahi kofu kuo lalanga ʻaki ʻae koula.
13The king’s daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14ʻE ʻomi ia ki he tuʻi ʻi he kofu ʻoku matamatalelei hono tuitui: ko e kau tāupoʻou ko hono kaumeʻa ʻaia ʻoku muimui kiate ia ʻe omi ʻakinautolu kiate koe.
14She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15ʻE omi ʻakinautolu ʻi he fiefia mo e nekeneka: te nau hū ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi.
15With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king’s palace.
16ʻE fetongi hoʻo ngaahi tamai ʻe hoʻo fānau, ʻaia te ke fakanofo ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
16Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
17Te u fai ke manatuʻi ʻa ho huafa ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē: ko ia ʻe fakafetaʻi ʻae kakai kiate koe ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.
17I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.
