Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.
1Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻae ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, ʻo ne fafangu au, ʻo hangē ko e fafangu ha taha ʻoku mohe.
2“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.
2Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke sio ki ai?” Pea naʻaku pehē ʻeau, “Kuo u sio, pea vakai, ko e tuʻunga maama ko e koula haohaoa pe, mo e ʻaiʻanga lolo ʻi ʻolunga, mo hono tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu ʻi ai, mo e tafeʻanga lolo ʻe fitu ki he tuʻunga maama ʻe fitu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hono potu ki ʻolunga:
3There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”
3Pea ʻoku tuʻu vāofi mo ia ʻae ongo ʻakau ko e ʻolive, ko e taha ʻi he potu toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻaiʻanga lolo, pea ko e taha ʻi hono potu fakatoʻohema.”
4“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
4Ko ia ne u pehēange ai ki he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki ko e hā ʻena?”
5“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.
5Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo naʻa ma talanoa mo au, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae ngaahi meʻa na?” Pea naʻaku pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ʻoku ʻikai.”
6So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts.
6Pea toki tali mai ʻe ia ʻo ne pehē kiate au, “Ko eni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selupepeli, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻi ha kau tau pe ʻi ha mālohi, ka ʻi hoku Laumālie ʻoʻoku, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.’”
7What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
7Ko hai koe, ʻE moʻunga māʻolunga? ʻE fakalafalafa hifo koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selupepeli: pea ʻe ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae maka tauʻolunga ki ai ʻi he mavava mo e kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻi ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa, ke ʻi ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa.”
8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
8Naʻe hoko foki ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
9“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.
9“Kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻe he nima ʻo Selupepeli; pea ʻe fakaʻosi ia foki ʻe hono nima ʻoʻona, pea te mou ʻilo kuo fekau mai au ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”
10For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”
10He ko hai kuo ne manuki ki he ʻaho ʻoe meʻa siʻi? He te nau fiefia, mo mamata ki he fua fakatonutonu ʻi he nima ʻo Selupepeli. Pea ko e toko fitu na ko e foʻi fofonga ia ʻe fitu ʻo Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
11Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”
11¶ Pea naʻaku pehēange ai ʻeau kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻae ongo ʻakau ʻolive, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he toʻomataʻu ʻoe tuʻunga maama, pea mo hono toʻohema ʻo ia?”
12And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”
12Pea naʻaku toe pehēange ki ai, “Ko e hā ʻae ongo vaʻa ʻolive ʻena, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi atu mei ai ʻae lolo, ʻi hono tafeʻanga koula ʻe ua?”
13“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.
13Pea naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae ngaahi meʻa na?” Pea ne u pehē, “ʻA hoku ʻeiki ʻoku ʻikai.”
14So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
14Pea ne toki pehē mai ʻe ia, “Ko e toko ua ʻena kuo pani pea ʻoku na tutuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē.”
