Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
1Naʻe pehē ʻa hono ngaohi ʻo ʻosi ʻae langi mo e fonua, mo hona nāunau kotoa pē.
2And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.
2Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho kuo fakaʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ngāue ʻaia naʻa ne fai; pea naʻe tutuku ia ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa ne fai.
3Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day He rested from all the work of creation that He had accomplished.
3Pea naʻe tāpuaki ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, mo ne fakatapui ia: koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻa ne tutuku ai mei heʻene ngāue kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu mo ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua.
4This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made them.
4¶ Ko e tala fakahohoko eni ki he ngaohi ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi he ʻaho ʻaia naʻe fakatupu ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻa māmani pea mo e langi,
5Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted; for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
5Mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi he teʻeki ke tuʻu ia ʻi he kelekele, mo e ʻakau iiki kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke tupu: he naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ha ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ke ngoueʻi ʻae kelekele.
6But springs welled up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
6Ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae vaivao mei he fonua, ke fakaviviku ʻae funga kelekele kotoa pē.
7Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
7Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata mei he efu ʻoe kelekele, pea ne mānava ki hono avaʻi ihu ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea hoko ʻae tangata ko e laumālie moʻui.
8And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed.
8¶ Pea naʻe tō ʻae ngoue ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he potu hahake ʻi ʻIteni; pea ne tuku ki ai ʻae tangata ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi.
9Out of the ground the LORD God gave growth to every tree that is pleasing to the eye and good for food. And in the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
9Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he kelekele ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku matamatalelei, pea lelei ki he kai; mo e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui foki ʻi he loto ngoue, pea mo e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi.
10Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it branched into four headwaters:
10Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae vaitafe ʻi ʻIteni ke fakaviviku ʻae ngoue; pea ne mavahevahe ia mei ai ʻi he mangaʻivai ʻe fā.
11The name of the first river is Pishon; it winds through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.
11Ko e hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki ko Pisoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Havila, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae koula;
12And the gold of that land is pure, and bdellium and onyx are found there.
12Pea ʻoku lelei ʻae koula ʻoe fonua ko ia pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mataʻitofe, mo e maka ko e onike.
13The name of the second river is Gihon; it winds through the whole land of Cush.
13Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ua ʻoe vaitafe ko Kihoni: ko ia ia ʻoku takatakai ʻae fonua kotoa ko Kusi.
14The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it runs along the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
14Pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono tolu ʻoe vaitafe ko Hitikeli: ko ia ia ʻoku tafe atu ki he hahake ʻo ʻAsilia. Pea ko hono fā ʻoe vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.
15Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it.
15Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻae tangata ʻone tuku ia ki he ngoue ko ʻIteni, ke tauhi mo leʻo ki ai.
16And the LORD God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden,
16Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ki he tangata, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo kai mei he ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue,
17but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”
17Ka ko e ʻakau ʻoe ʻilo ʻoe lelei mo e kovi, ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai: he ko e ʻaho ko ia te ke kai ai, ko e moʻoni te ke mate.”
18The LORD God also said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”
18¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke tokotaha pe ʻae tangata: te u ngaohi kiate ia ha tokoni ʻoku taau mo ia.”
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
19Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, mei he kelekele ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo e manu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā; pea ne ʻomi ia kia ʻAtama, ke vakai pe ko e hā te ne ui ʻakinautolu: pea ʻilonga ʻae hingoa naʻe ai ʻe ʻAtama ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē, ko hono hingoa ia.
20The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
20Pea naʻe fakahingoa ʻe ʻAtama ʻae fanga manu lalahi kotoa pē, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe vao; ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo kia ʻAtama ha tokoni naʻe taau mo ia.
21So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he slept, He took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the area with flesh.
21Pea naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻae mohe maʻu kia ʻAtama, pea naʻa ne mohe: pea naʻa ne toʻo hono hui vakavaka ʻe taha, pea naʻe toe fakamaʻopoʻopo ʻa hono kakano.
22And from the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man, He made a woman and brought her to him.
22Pea ko e hui vakavaka ʻaia naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua mei he tangata, naʻa ne ngaohi mei ai ʻae fefine, pea ʻomi ia ki he tangata.
23And the man said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of man she was taken.”
23Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAtama, “Ko e hui eni ʻo hoku ngaahi hui, mo e kakano ʻo hoku kakano: ʻe ui ia ‘ko e Fefine,’ koeʻuhi naʻe toʻo ia mei he Tangata.”
24For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
24Ko ia ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea te na kakano taha pe.
25And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed.
25Pea naʻa na fakatou telefua, ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, pea naʻe ʻikai te na mā ai.
