Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻAe tangata mālohi, ko e hā ʻoku ke polepole ai koe ʻi he fai pauʻu? ʻoku tolonga maʻuaipē ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2ʻOku langaʻi ʻe ho ʻelelo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi; ʻo ne fai kākā, ʻo hangē ko e tele māsila.
2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3ʻOku ke ʻofa lahi ki he kovi ʻi he lelei; pea ki he loi ʻi he lea māʻoniʻoni. Sila.
3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4ʻAe ʻelelo kākā, ʻoku ke manako ki he ngaahi lea fakaʻauha.
4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5Pea ʻe fakaʻauha foki koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata, te ne toʻo ʻo ʻave koe, pea taʻaki koe mei ho nofoʻanga, ʻo taʻaki fuʻu hake koe mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui. Sila.
5God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6ʻE mamata foki ki ai ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea manavahē, pea nau kata manuki kiate ia:
6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7“Vakai, ko eni ʻae tangata naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻae mālohi mei he ʻOtua; ka naʻe falala ki he lahi ʻo ʻene koloa, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia ʻi heʻene kovi.”
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8Ka ʻoku ou tatau mo e ʻolive laumaʻuiʻui ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ʻoku ou falala ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9Te u fakamālō kiate koe ʻo taʻengata, koeʻuhi kuo ke fai ia ʻe koe: pea te u tatali ki ho huafa; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
