Berean Standard Bible
1Kuo pehē ʻe he vale ʻi hono loto, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻOtua.” Kuo kovi ʻakinautolu, pea kuo nau fai ʻae kovi fakalielia: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei.
1The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.
2Naʻe ʻafio hifo ʻae ʻOtua mei he langi ki he fānau ʻae tangata, ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻilo, mo kumi ki he ʻOtua.
2God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
3Kuo foki kotoa pē kimui ʻakinautolu: kuo nau hoko ʻo fakalielia kotoa pē: ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku fai lelei, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha taha.
3All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
4“ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻilo ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fai kovi? ʻAkinautolu ʻoku kai ʻo ʻosi hoku kakai ʻo hangē ko ʻenau kai mā: naʻe ʻikai te nau ui ki he ʻOtua.”
4Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.
5Pea naʻe manavahē lahi ai ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ke manavahē ai: he kuo laku kehekehe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi hui ʻo ia naʻa ne tauʻi koe: Kuo ke fakamaaʻi ʻakinautolu, he kuo fehiʻa ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
5There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.
6Ko hai te ne foaki mei Saione ʻae fakamoʻui ki ʻIsileli? ʻOka toe ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai kuo pōpula, ʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sēkope, pea nekeneka ʻa ʻIsileli.
6Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
