Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
1ʻE fale ʻo ʻIsileli, mou fanongo ki he lea ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu!
2The LORD says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
2ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻOua te mou ako ki he hala ʻoe hiteni, pea ʻoua te mou ilifia ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he langi, he ʻoku ilifia ki ai ʻae hiteni.
3For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
3He ko e vaʻinga ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kakai: he ʻoku tā ʻaki ha toki ʻe ha taha ʻae ʻakau ʻi he vao, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga.
4They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.
4ʻOku nau teuteu ia ʻaki ʻae siliva mo e koula; pea ʻoku nau fakamaʻu ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi faʻo pea mo e ngaahi hamala, ke ʻoua naʻa ngaueue ia.
5They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
5ʻOku nau tuʻu tonu ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau ko e ponga, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea: ʻoku fua ʻakinautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻeveʻeva. Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ha kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ha fai lelei.”
6There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
6He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku hangē ko koe, ʻE Sihova; ʻoku ke lahi koe, pea ʻoku lahi ho huafa ʻi he māfimafi.
7Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
7Ko hai ʻe taʻemanavahē kiate koe, ʻA koe, ko e Tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga? He ʻoku ʻaʻau ia. He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku tatau mo koe, ʻi he kau tangata poto kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kakai, pe ʻi honau ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
8But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
8Ka ʻoku nau anga fakamanu pea vale ʻaupito: ko e meʻa akonaki ki he vale ʻae tamapua.
9There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
9ʻOku ʻomi ʻae siliva lafalafa mei Tasisi, pea mo e koula mei ʻUfase, ko e ngāue ʻae tufunga, mo e nima ʻoe tangata ngaohi ukamea; ko honau kofu ʻoku ʻuliʻuli mo kulokula: ko e ngāue kotoa pē ʻae kau tangata poto.
10But the LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
10Ka ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua moʻoni, ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia, pea ko e Tuʻi taʻengata: pea ʻe ngaueue ʻa māmani ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa kātaki ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻa ʻene tuputāmaki.
11“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
11“Pea te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e ngaahi ʻotua naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae ngaahi langi, mo māmani, ʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi māmani, pea mei he lalo langi.’”
12God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
12Kuo ne ngaohi ʻae kelekele ʻaki hono mālohi, kuo ne fokotuʻumaʻu ʻa māmani ʻaki ʻene ʻilo, pea kuo ne folahi ʻae ngaahi langi ʻi heʻene poto.
13When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
13ʻOku folofola ia ʻaki hono leʻo, ʻoku lahi ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he langi, pea ʻoku ne fakatupu hake ʻae ngaahi ʻao mei he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani; ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila mo e ʻuha, pea ne ʻomi ʻae matangi mei hono ngaahi tukuʻanga koloa.
14Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
14ʻOku vale ʻi he ʻilo ʻae tangata kotoa pē: ʻoku puputuʻu ʻae tufunga kotoa pē ʻi he tamapua kuo tā: he ko e loi ʻene tamapua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mānava ʻi ai.
15They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
15Ko e vaʻinga ʻakinautolu, ko e ngāue ʻae vale: pea ʻe ʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tautea ai ʻakinautolu.
16The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Armies is his name.
16ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo kinautolu ʻae ʻinasi ʻo Sēkope: he ko e tupuʻanga ia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; pea ko e fuofua ʻo hono tofiʻa ko ʻIsileli: Ko hono huafa ko Sihova.
17Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
17ʻA koe ko e nofo kolo, ke ke tānaki ho ngaʻotoʻota ʻo ke hola ʻi he fonua.
18For the LORD says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
18He ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, “Vakai, te u lī ʻae kakai ni ʻi he fonua, ʻo hangē ko e maka tā, pea te u fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau ongoʻi ia.”
19Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
19Kuo u malaʻia ʻi hoku lavea! ʻOku lahi hoku kafu: ka naʻaku pehē, “Ko e mamahi moʻoni eni, ka te u kātaki pe ia.”
20My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
20Kuo hae hoku fale fehikitaki, pea kuo motuhi ʻeku maea kotoa pē: kuo ʻalu ʻiate au ʻeku fānau, pea kuo ʻikai ʻakinautolu: ʻoku ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ke toe folahi ʻa hoku fale fehikitaki, pea ke tautau hoku puipui.
21For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
21He kuo liliu ʻo anga fakakakano ʻae kau tauhi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau kumi kia Sihova: ko ia ʻe ʻikai te nau monūʻia, pea ʻe fakamovetevete honau kakai.
22The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
22Vakai, ʻoku ongo mai ʻae ongoongo ʻoe longoaʻa, pea mo e maveuveu lahi mei he fonua tokelau, ke fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, pea ke ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe fanga talākoni.”
23LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
23ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata pe hono hala: ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ke fakahinohino hono ʻaluʻanga.
24LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
24ʻE Sihova, ke ke taaʻi au, pea ke fai ʻi he ʻofa; ʻoua naʻa ʻi ho houhau, telia naʻa ke fakaʻauha au.
25Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
25Lilingi ho houhau ki he hiteni ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo koe, pea ki he ngaahi kaunga fale ʻoku ʻikai ui ki ho huafa: he kuo nau kai ʻo ʻosi ʻa Sēkope, pea kuo folo hifo ia, pea kuo nau fakaʻauha ia, pea fakalala hono nofoʻanga.
