Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.
1Naʻa ku tangi ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo; ʻio, ki he ʻOtua ʻaki hoku leʻo pea ne tokanga kiate au.
2In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.
2ʻI he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku mamahi naʻaku kumi ki he ʻEiki: naʻe aʻu pe ʻeku mamahi ʻi he poʻuli, pea ʻikai tuku: naʻe liʻaki ʻe hoku laumālie ʻae fakafiemālie.
3I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah.
3Naʻaku manatu ki he ʻOtua, pea u mamahi ai: naʻaku fakalaulauloto, pea naʻe lōmekina hoku laumālie. Sila.
4You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.
4ʻOku ke pule ke ʻā hoku mata: ʻoku lahi ʻeku mamahi, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te u faʻa lea.
5I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
5Naʻaku fakamanatu ki he ngaahi ʻaho ʻi muʻa, ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa.
6I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:
6ʻOku ou fakamanatu, ki heʻeku hiva ʻi he poʻuli: ʻoku ou fakakaukau mo hoku loto: pea naʻe ʻeke lahi ʻa hoku laumālie.
7“Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?
7“ʻE liʻaki maʻuaipē ʻe Sihova? Pea ʻe ʻikai te ne toe finangalo ʻofa mai?
8Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?
8Kuo mole ʻaupito ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofa? Pe kuo taʻehoko ʻene talaʻofa ki he toʻutangata mo e toʻutangata?
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
9Kuo ngalo ʻi he ʻOtua ke fai ʻofa? Kuo ne tāpuni ʻi he houhau ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua?” Sila.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
10Pea ne u pehē, “Ko ʻeku vaivai eni ka te u manatu ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻoe nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga.”
11I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
11Te u manatu ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova: ko e moʻoni te u manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi mana ʻi muʻa.
12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
12Te u fakalaulauloto foki ki hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē, ʻo talanoa ki hoʻo ngaahi faianga.
13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
13ʻE ʻOtua, ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he faletapu: ko hai ha ʻOtua ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko hotau ʻOtua!
14You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.
14Ko koe ko e ʻOtua ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo: kuo ke fakahā ho mālohi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai.
15You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
15Naʻa ke huhuʻi ʻaki ho nima ʻa ho kakai, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope mo Siosefa. Sila.
16The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.
16Naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai, ʻE ʻOtua, naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi vai; pea naʻa nau manavahē: naʻe ngaueue foki ʻae ngaahi loloto.
17The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.
17Naʻe lilingi ʻae vai ʻe he ngaahi ʻao: naʻe fakaʻuʻulu mei he langi ʻae longoaʻa: pea naʻe puna foki hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ki he mamaʻo.
18The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.
18Naʻe ʻi he langi ʻae leʻo ʻo hoʻo mana: naʻe fakamaama ʻaki ʻa māmani ʻae ngaahi ʻuhila: naʻe tetetete mo ngalulu ʻae fonua.
19Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.
19Ko ho hala ʻoku ʻi he tahi, mo ho hāʻeleʻanga ʻoku ʻi he vai lahi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilonga ʻa ho ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
20You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
20Naʻa ke tataki atu ho kakai ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese mo ʻElone.
