Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Fakafanongo ki heʻeku lotu, ʻE ʻotua; pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū koe mei heʻeku lotu tāumaʻu.
1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2ʻAfio mai kiate au, mo ke ongoʻi au: ʻoku ou lāunga ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea tangi kalanga;
2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3Koeʻuhi ko e leʻo ʻoe fili, koeʻuhi ko e taʻomia ʻe he kau angakovi: he kuo nau tuku ʻae hia kiate au, pea ʻi he ʻita ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate au.
3Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4ʻOku mamahi lahi hoku loto ʻiate au: pea kuo tō kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻoe mate.
4My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5Kuo hoko kiate au ʻae manavahē mo e tetetete, pea kuo lōmakiʻi au ʻe he lilika.
5Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6Pea naʻaku pehē, Taumaiā ke u maʻu ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e lupe! Koeʻuhi ke u puna atu, pea fiemālie ai.
6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7Vakai, te u ʻalu ʻo hē ki he mamaʻo, pea u nofo ʻi he toafa. Sila.
7Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
8Te u ʻalu fakatoʻotoʻo, ʻo hao mei he matangi lahi mo e afā.
8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9Fakaʻauha, ʻE Sihova, pea vahevahe honau ʻelelo: he naʻaku mamata ki he fakamālohi mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he kolo.
9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10ʻOku nau ʻalu fano ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻā ʻo ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō: ʻoku ʻi loto ʻi ai ʻae pauʻu mo e mamahi.
10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11ʻOku ʻi ai ʻae kovi: ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻi mei hono ngaahi hala ʻae fakamālohi mo e kākā.
11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12He naʻe ʻikai ko ha fili ʻaia naʻa ne lauʻikoviʻi au; ka ne pehē, te u faʻa kātaki ia: pea naʻe ʻikai ko ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa kiate au ʻaia kuo hiki hake ia kiate au ka ne pehē, te u faʻa fufū au meiate ia.
12For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13Ka ko koe ia, ko e tangata ʻoku ta tatau, ko hoku fakahinohino, mo hoku kaumeʻa.
13But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14Naʻa ta alea lelei mo au, pea ʻalu fakataha ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
14We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
15Ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻe he mate, pea tuku ke ʻalu vave hifo ʻakinautolu ki hētesi: he ʻoku ʻi honau ngaahi nofoʻanga, pea ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kovi.
15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16Ka ko au te u ui ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻe fakamoʻui au ʻe Sihova.
16As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu, mo tangi leʻo lahi: pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18Kuo ne fakamoʻui hoku laumālie ʻi he melino mei he tau naʻe tuʻu hake kiate au: he naʻe ʻiate au ʻae tokolahi.
18He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19ʻE ongoʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio talu mei muʻa, pea te ne tautea ʻakinautolu. Sila. Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau feliliuʻaki, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē ai ki he ʻOtua.
19God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20Naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima kiate kinautolu ʻaia naʻe nonofo ʻi he melino mo ia: kuo maumauʻi ʻe ia ʻene fuakava.
20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa hono ngutu naʻe molemole lahi hake ʻi he pota, ka naʻe ʻi hono loto ʻae tau: naʻe molū lahi ʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he lolo, ka ko e moʻoni ko e ngaahi heletā ia kuo unuhi.
21The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22Ke ke tuku hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, pea te ne poupou koe: ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tuku ke ngaue ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
22Cast thy burden upon the LORD , and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻOtua te ke ʻohifo ʻakinautolu ki he luo ʻoe fakaʻauha: ko e kau tangata pani toto mo ngāue kākā ʻe ʻikai tenau aʻusia hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo honau ngaahi ʻaho; ka te u falala kiate koe.
23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
