Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au; he kuo hū ki loto ʻae ngaahi vai ki hoku laumālie.
1Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2ʻOku ou ngalo hifo ʻi he pela loloto, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ha potu ke tuʻu ai: kuo u hoko ki he vai loloto, pea ʻoku lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi.
2I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3Kuo u vaivai ʻi heʻeku tangi: kuo mōmoa hoku kia: ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻosi hoku mata ʻi heʻeku tatali ki hoku ʻOtua.
3I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4Ko kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au taʻehanoʻuhinga ʻoku nau tokolahi hake ʻi he tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo hoku ʻulu: ko kinautolu ʻoku loto ke fakaʻauha au, ʻaia ko hoku ngaahi fili taʻetotonu, ʻoku nau mālohi; pea ne u toki ʻange ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻave.
4They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku vale; pea ʻoku ʻikai lilo ʻiate koe ʻeku ngaahi angahala.
5O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
6ʻE ʻEiki Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke mā ʻakinautolu ʻoku tatali kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au: ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa puputuʻu ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe koeʻuhi ko au.
6Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u kātaki ai ʻae lauʻikovi; kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hoku mata ʻae mā.
7Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
8Kuo u hoko ko e muli ki hoku ngaahi kāinga, mo e ʻāuhe ki he fānau ʻa ʻeku faʻē.
8I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.
9He kuo u ʻosiʻosiloto ʻi he fai feinga ki ho fale; pea ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe kuo tō kiate au.
9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10ʻI heʻeku tangi, ʻo tautea hoku laumālie ʻaki ʻae ʻaukai, naʻe manukiʻi ai au.
10When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11Naʻaku kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa; pea ne u hoko ko honau lumaʻanga.
11I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12ʻOku lauʻikoviʻi au ʻekinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā; pea ʻoku hiva ʻaki au ʻe he kau konā ʻi he kava.
12They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13Ka ko au, ʻE Sihova, ʻe aʻu atu kiate koe ʻeku lotu ʻi he ʻaho tuʻumālie: ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fanongo kiate au ʻi hono lahi fau ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ʻi hono moʻoni ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui.
13But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD , in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
14Fakamoʻui au mei he pela, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku au ke u ngalo hifo: tuku ke fakamoʻui au meiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au, pea mei he ngaahi vai loloto.
14Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15ʻOua naʻa tuku ke lōmakiʻi au ʻe he vai lahi, pea ʻoua naʻa folo hifo au ʻe he loloto, pea ʻoua naʻa tāpuni ʻe he luo hono ngutu kiate au.
15Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16Fanongo kiate au, ʻE Sihova, he ʻoku lelei hoʻo manavaʻofa: ke ke tafoki mai kiate au ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo hoʻo ʻaloʻofa ongongofua.
16Hear me, O LORD ; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17Pea ʻoua naʻa ke fufū ho fofonga mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki; he ʻoku ou mamahi: fanongo vave kiate au:
17And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18Ke ke ʻunuʻunu mai ke ofi ki hoku laumālie, pea huhuʻi ia: fakamoʻui au koeʻuhi ko hoku ngaahi fili.
18Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19Kuo ke ʻiloʻi hoku lauʻikovi, mo ʻeku mā, mo hoku manukia: ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao ʻa hoku ngaahi fili kotoa pē.
19Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
20Kuo fesiʻi hoku loto ʻe he lauʻikovi pea kuo u fonu ʻi he mamahi: pea naʻaku kumi ki ha niʻihi ke ʻofa mai, ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha; mo e kau fakafiemālie, tā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha taha.
20Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21Naʻa nau foaki foki kiate au ʻae ʻahu ko ʻeku meʻakai; pea ʻi heʻeku fieinu naʻa nau tuku mai ʻae vaimahi ke u inu.
21They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele ʻi honau ʻao: mo ia naʻe totonu kenau lelei ai, ke hoko ia ko e tauhele.
22Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23Ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata; pea ke tetetete maʻuaipē honau kongaloto.
23Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24Te ke lilingi ho houhau kiate kinautolu, pea puke ʻakinautolu ʻe ho houhau vela.
24Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25Tuku ke lala honau nofoʻanga; ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ha tokotaha ʻi honau fale fehikitaki.
25Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26He ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi ia ʻaia kuo ke taaʻi; pea ʻoku nau talanoa fakamamahi kiate kinautolu kuo ke tautea.
26For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27Fakalahi ʻaki ʻae nunuʻa ʻoe hia ki heʻenau hia: pea ke ʻoua naʻa nau hoko ki hoʻo māʻoniʻoni.
27Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28Tuku ke tāmateʻi mei he tohi ʻoe moʻui, pea ʻoua naʻa tohi fakataha ʻakinautolu mo e kau māʻoniʻoni.
28Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29Ka ko au ʻoku ou masiva mo mamahi: ʻE ʻOtua, tuku ke hiki ki ʻolunga au ʻe hoʻo fakamoʻui.
29But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30Teu fakamālō ki he huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae hiva, pea te u hiki hake ia ʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi.
30I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31Pea ʻe fiemālie lahi hake ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he meʻa ni, ʻi he pulu tangata pe ko e pulu ʻoku ai hono nifo mo e ngeʻesi vaʻe.
31This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32ʻE mamata ki he meʻa ni ʻae angavaivai, pea fiefia ai: pea ʻe moʻui homou loto ʻaia ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtua.
32The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33He ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ʻene kau pōpula.
33For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34Tuku ke fakamālō kiate ia ʻae langi mo māmani, ʻae ngaahi tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi ai.
34Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Saione, pea langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta: koeʻuhi ke nau nofo ʻi ai, ʻo maʻu ia ko honau tofiʻa.
35For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36ʻE maʻu foki ia ʻe he hako ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki: pea ʻe nofo ki ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki hono huafa.
36The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
