Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻAe fakataha, ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻomou lea māʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu? ʻAe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku mou fakamaau totonu koā?
1Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2ʻIo, ʻoku mou fai kovi ʻi loto; ʻoku mou fakamamafa ʻae kovi ʻo homou nima ʻi māmani.
2Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3Talu ʻae māvae ʻae angakovi mo e manāva mo ʻenau hē: ʻoku nau ʻalu hē leva talu ʻenau fanauʻi, ʻi he lea loi.
3The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4Ko honau kona ʻoku hangē ko e kona ʻoe ngata: ʻoku nau tatau mo e ngata tuli ʻoku ne tāpuni hono telinga;
4Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5ʻAia ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe kau fakafiemālie, neongo ʻae poto lahi ʻoe tangata faiva.
5Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke sili honau kau nifo ʻi honau ngutu: ʻE Sihova, pakiʻi ʻo toʻo kituʻa ʻae kau nifo lahi ʻoe fanga laione mui.
6Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD .
7Tuku ke vela ʻo vai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻoku tafe maʻuaipē: ʻoka teteke ʻe ia ʻene kau fana ke fana ʻaki ʻene ngaahi ngahau, tuku ke tuʻutuʻu ʻakinautolu.
7Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8Ke mole ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e sineli: tuku ke nau hangē ko e tama taʻehoko ʻae fefine, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata ki he laʻā.
8As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9ʻI he teʻeki vela ki hoʻomou kulo ʻae okooko ʻakau talatala, ʻe ʻosi ʻene ʻave moʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi hono houhau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio.
9Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻene mamata ki he totongi: ʻe fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻoe angakovi.
10The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Ko ia ʻe pehē ai ʻe he tangata, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae totongi ki he māʻoniʻoni: ko e moʻoni ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku fakamaau ʻi māmani.”
11So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
