Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tā maʻau ʻae maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki maka: pea te u tohi ki he ongo maka ni, ʻae ngaahi lea naʻe ʻi he ʻuluaki maka, ʻaia naʻa ke maumauʻi.
2Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
2Pea ke teu ki he ʻapongipongi, pea ke ʻalu hake ʻapongipongi ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, pea ke fakahā koe kiate au ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga.
3No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
3Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake mo koe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pea ʻoua naʻa hā mai ha tangata ʻi he moʻunga kotoa pē, pea ʻoua naʻa kai ʻae fanga sipi, pe ko e fanga manu lalahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe moʻunga ko ia.”
4So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
4¶ Pea naʻa ne tā ʻae ongo maka lafalafa ʻo hangē ko e ʻuluaki; pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Mōsese, ʻo ne ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻi hono nima ʻae ongo maka lafalafa.
5And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
5Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻao, pea tutuʻu ʻi ai mo ia, ʻo ne fakahā ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova.
6Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
6Pea naʻe hāʻele ange ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne folofola, “Ko Sihova, Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻaloʻofa, mo ʻofa mataʻatā, ʻoku kātaki fuoloa, pea mohu ʻi he angalelei mo e moʻoni.
7maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
7ʻOku ne fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa ki he ngaahi toko afe, ʻi he fakamolemole ʻae hia, mo e talangataʻa, mo e angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae halaia; ʻoku ʻaʻahi ʻaki ki he fānau ʻae hia ʻae mātuʻa, pea ki he hako ʻo ʻenau fānau, ʻo aʻu ki hono tolu mo hono fā ʻoe toʻutangata.”
8Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
8Pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻe Mōsese, ke punou hifo hono ʻulu ki he kelekele, pea hū.
9“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
9Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, kapau kuo u maʻu ni ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ʻalu ʻa hoku ʻEiki, mo kimautolu: he ko e kakai kia kekeva; pea fakamolemole ʻe mau hia mo e mau angahala, mo ke fili ʻakimautolu ko e tofiʻa ʻoʻou.”
10And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
10¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fai ʻae fuakava: te u fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻi he ʻao ʻo ho kakai kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hano tatau, ʻi ha potu ʻe taha ʻo māmani, pe ʻi ha puleʻanga: pea ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ke nofo ki ai te nau mamata ki he ngāue ʻa Sihova: he ko e meʻa fakamanavahē ia ʻaia te u fai kiate koe.
11Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
11Ke ke tokanga koe ki he meʻa ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni: vakai, ʻoku ou kapusi mei ho ʻao ʻae kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Sepusi.
12Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
12Ke ke vakai kiate koe, telia naʻa mou fai ha fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai, telia naʻa hoko ia ko e tauhele ʻi loto ʻiate koe.
13Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
13Ka te mou maumauʻi honau ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea laiki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea tā ke hinga ʻenau ngaahi ʻakau tapu:
14For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
14ʻE ʻikai te ke lotu koe ki ha ʻotua kehe: he ko Sihova, ʻaia ko hono huafa ko Fuaʻa, ko e ʻOtua fuaʻa ia.
15Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
15Telia naʻa mou fai ʻae fuakava mo e kakai ʻoe fonua, pea nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea fai ʻae feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, pea ui koe ʻe ha tokotaha , pea ke kai ʻi heʻene feilaulau;
16And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
16pe ke fili ʻe koe ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ki ho ngaahi foha; pea ʻalu ʻa honau ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua, ʻonau fakakau ho ngaahi foha ke nau ʻalu ʻo tango ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.
17You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
17ʻOua naʻa ke ngaohi moʻou ha ʻotua ukamea kuo haka.
18You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
18¶ “Pea te ke tauhi ʻae kātoanga ʻoe mā taʻefakalēvani. Ke ke kai ʻae mā taʻefakalēvani ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate koe, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻApipi: he naʻa ke haʻu mei ʻIsipite ʻi he māhina ko ʻApipi.
19The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
19Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakaava ʻae manāva ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia; mo e ʻuluaki manu tangata ʻi hoʻo fanga manu, pe ko ha pulu ia, pe ko ha sipi.
20You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
20Ka ko e ʻuluaki ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi ke ke huhuʻi ʻaki ia ʻae lami; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fesiʻi hono kia. Ko e ʻuluaki fānau kotoa pē ʻi ho ngaahi foha te ke huhuʻi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fakahā mola pe ha tokotaha ʻi hoku ʻao.
21Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
21¶ “Te ke ngāue ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono, ka ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho te ke mālōlō: ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe tō taʻu, mo e ututaʻu ke ke mālōlō.
22And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
22¶ “Pea te ke tokanga ki he kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi uike, mo e ʻuluaki fua ʻoe tuʻusi ʻoe uite, mo e kātoanga ʻoe ututaʻu ʻi he fakaʻosi taʻu.
23Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
23¶ “ʻE liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ʻae fakahā ʻa hoʻomou fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
24He te u kapusi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mei ho ʻao, pea te u fakalahi atu ʻae ngataʻanga ʻo ho fonua: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne holi ki ho fonua, ʻoka ke ka ʻalu hake, ʻo liunga tolu ʻi he taʻu ke fakahā koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
25Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
25“ʻOua naʻa ke ʻatu ʻae toto ʻo ʻeku feilaulau mo e lēvani: pea ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ki he ʻapongipongi ʻae feilaulau ʻoe kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.
26Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
26“Ko e polopolo ʻoe ngaahi ʻuluaki fua ʻo ho fonua ke ke ʻomi ki he fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua. “ʻOua naʻa ke haka ʻae ʻuhiki sipi pe kosi ʻi he huʻahuhu ʻo ʻene faʻē.”
27The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
27Pea pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke tohi ʻae ngaahi lea ni: he kuo u fai ʻae fuakava kiate koe mo ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatatau ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi lea ni.
28So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
28Pea naʻe ʻi ai ia mo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne kai mā, pe inu ha vai. Pea naʻa ne tohi ki he ongo maka lafalafa ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe fuakava, ko e fekau ʻe hongofulu.
29And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
29¶ Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga ko Sainai, mo e maka lafalafa ʻe ua ʻoe fuakava ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe Mōsese ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata lolotonga ʻene talanoa mo ia.
30Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
30Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻElone, pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli kia Mōsese, vakai, naʻe ulo ʻae kili ʻo hono mata: pea naʻa nau manavahē ke haʻu ʻo ofi kiate ia.
31But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
31Pea naʻe ui ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu; pea ko ʻElone mo e kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai naʻa nau foki mai kiate ia: pea naʻe talanoa ʻa Mōsese mo kinautolu.
32And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
32Pea hili ia, naʻe ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa ne tala ʻo fekau kiate kinautolu ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate ia ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai.
33When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
33Pea naʻe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata, kaeʻoua ke hili ʻene talanoa mo kinautolu.
34But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
34Ka ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke lea kiate ia, naʻa ne toʻo ʻae pūlou, kaeʻoua ke hū kituʻa. Pea naʻe haʻu kituʻa ia, ʻo ne tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate ia ke fai.
35and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
35Pea naʻe mamata ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he mata ʻo Mōsese, ʻoku ulo ʻae kili ʻoe mata ʻo Mōsese: pea naʻe toe ʻai ʻe Mōsese ʻae pūlou ki hono mata kaeʻoua ke toe hū ia ke alea mo ia.
