Psalms 16

World English Bible
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
1‌ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
2My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
2‌ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe: ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”
3As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
3Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani, pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
4‌ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu, pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.
5The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
5Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
6Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei; ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.
7I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
7Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au: ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.
8I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
9Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo: ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.
10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
10Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
11You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
11Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui: ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao; ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
