Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
1ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻeku fakamālō, ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;
2for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
2He kuo mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻoe angahala mo e ngutu ʻoe kākā kiate au: kuo nau lea kovi kiate au ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo loi.
3They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
3Naʻa nau kāpui foki au ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe taufehiʻa; mo nau tauʻi au taʻehanoʻuhinga.
4In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
4Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kuo hoko ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili: ka te u hangahanga lotu pe au.
5They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
5Pea kuo nau totongi ʻaki kiate au ʻae kovi ki he lelei, mo e fehiʻa ki heʻeku ʻofa.
6Set a wicked man over him. Let an adversary stand at his right hand.
6Ke ke fakanofo ʻae tangata angakovi ke pule kiate ia: pea tuku ke tuʻu ʻa Sētane ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu.
7When he is judged, let him come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
7ʻOka fakamaau ia, tuku ke halaia ia pea tuku ke hoko ʻene lotu ko e angahala.
8Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
8Tuku ke siʻi pē hono ngaahi ʻaho; pea ke maʻu ʻe ha taha kehe ʻene ngāue.
9Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
9Tuku ke tamai mate ʻene fānau, pea hoko ʻa hono uaifi ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti.
10Let his children be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from their ruins.
10Tuku ke ne maʻuaipē ʻene fānau, mo kole: pea tuku kenau kumi foki ʻenau mā mei honau ngaahi potu ʻoku lala.
11Let the creditor seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labor.
11Tuku ke maʻu ʻe he fakamālohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; pea maumauʻi ʻe he kau muli ʻene ngāue.
12Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on his fatherless children.
12ʻOua naʻa tuku ha taha ke manavaʻofa kiate ia: pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ha taha ke ʻofa ki heʻene fānau ʻoku tamai mate.
13Let his posterity be cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
13Tuku ke tuʻusi hono hako; pea ʻi he toʻutangata ʻe haʻu tuku ke tāmateʻi honau hingoa.
14Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
14Ke manatuʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻa ʻene ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoua naʻa tāmateʻi ʻae angahala ʻa ʻene faʻē.
15Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
15Tuku maʻuaipē ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne tuʻusi honau fakamanatuʻi mei māmani.
16because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
16Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai manatuʻi ʻe ia ke fakahā ʻae ʻofa, ka naʻa ne fakatanga ʻae tangata masiva mo paea, koeʻuhi ke ne tāmateʻi ʻaia ʻoku mafesi hono loto.
17Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
17Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa ki he kapekape, ko ia ke hoko ia kiate ia: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻefiefia ʻi he tāpuaki, ko ia ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate ia.
18He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
18Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakakofuʻaki ia ʻae kape ʻo hangē ko e kofu, ko ia ke hoko ia ki hono kete ʻo hangē ko e vai, pea hangē ko e lolo ki hono ngaahi hui.
19Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
19Ke tatau ia kiate ia mo e kofu ʻaia ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ia, pea mo e noʻo ʻaia ʻoku nonoʻo ʻaki maʻuaipē ia.
20This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.
20Tuku eni ko e totongi ki hoku ngaahi fili meia Sihova, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau lea ʻaki ʻae kovi ki hoku laumālie.
21But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
21Ka ke fai ʻe koe maʻaku, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ko ho huafa: koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei hoʻo ʻaloʻofa, ke ke fakamoʻui au.
22for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
22He ʻoku ou masiva mo paea, pea kuo lavea hoku loto ʻiate au.
23I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
23Kuo u mole atu ʻo hangē ko e ʻata ʻoka fakaʻaʻau ke ʻosi ia: kuo feʻaveʻaki au ʻo hangē ko e fanga heʻe.
24My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
24ʻOku vaivai hoku tui ʻi he ʻaukai: pea kuo mole ʻae sino ʻo hoku kakano.
25I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
25Ne u hoko foki ko e manukiʻanga kiate kinautolu: ʻi heʻenau sio mai kiate au, naʻa nau kalokalo honau ʻulu.
26Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
26Tokoniʻi au, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua: ke ke fakamoʻui au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻaloʻofa:
27that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have done it.
27Koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ko ho nima eni; pea ko koe, ʻE Sihova, kuo ke fai ia.
28They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your servant shall rejoice.
28Tuku kenau kape, ka ke fakamonūʻia ʻe koe: ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake, tuku ke nau mā; kae tuku ke fiefia ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
29Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
29Tuku ke kofu ʻa hoku ngaahi fili ʻaki ʻae mā, pea tuku kenau ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻa ʻenau puputuʻu, ʻo hangē ko e pulupulu.
30I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him among the multitude.
30Te u fakamālō lahi kia Sihova ʻaki hoku ngutu; ʻio, te u fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe tokolahi.
31For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
31Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe masiva, ke fakamoʻui ia meiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahalaia hono laumālie.
