Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.
1ʻI hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻo ʻAhasi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻe kamata pule ki ʻIsileli ʻi Samēlia ʻa Hosea ko e foha ʻo Ela, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hiva.
2And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.
2Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia.
3Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.
3¶ Naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻa Salimanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono tauʻi; pea naʻe fakatokalalo kiate ia ʻa Hosea, pea naʻa ne foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa kiate ia.
4And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,
4Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae teu lapa ʻe Hosea: he kuo fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau talafekau kia So ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻomi ʻae meʻaʻofa ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa ne faʻa fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē; ko ia naʻe fakahū ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fale pōpula, mo ne haʻi ia ʻi he fale pōpula.
5And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.
5Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua, mo ne ʻalu hake ki Samēlia, mo ne kāpui ia ʻaki ʻae tau ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu.
6And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
6Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe taʻu ʻo Hosea naʻe lavaʻi ʻa Samēlia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻae kakai ʻIsileli ki ʻAsilia, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi Hala pea ʻi Hapoa ki he vaitafe ʻo Kosani, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻae kakai Mitia.
7For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.
7¶ He naʻe pehē, kuo fai angahala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, mei he lalo nima ʻo Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea kuo nau manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
8And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.
8Pea kuo nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi fekau ʻae kakai hiteni, ʻakinautolu naʻe kapusi atu ʻe Sihova mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakanofo.
9And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9Pea naʻe fai fakafufū ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai totonu kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau langa moʻonautolu ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, mei he foʻi fale māʻolunga ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo fai hake ki he kolo naʻe fakaʻā.
10And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:
10Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi tamapua, mo e ngaahi vao tapu ʻi he tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he lolo ʻakau mata kotoa pē:
11And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.
11Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae meʻa namu kakala ʻi he potu māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni ʻaia naʻe fakaʻauha atu mei honau ʻao ʻe Sihova; pea naʻa nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi ke fakatupu ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova:
12And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.
12He naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi tamapua, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou fai ʻae meʻa ni.
13And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.
13Ka naʻe valokiekina ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli pea ki Siuta ʻi heʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e kau kikite kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke tafoki ʻakimoutolu mei homou ngaahi hala kovi, pea tauhi ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau mo e fono kotoa pē ko ia ʻaia naʻaku fekau ki hoʻomou ngaahi tamai, peau fekauʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.”
14And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.
14Ka neongo ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fie ongoʻi, ka naʻa nau fakakekeva ʻa honau kia, ʻo hangē ko e kia ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tui kia Sihova ko honau ʻOtua.
15And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.
15Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea mo ʻene fuakava ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamoʻoni naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻaki kiate kinautolu; pea naʻa nau muimui ki he vaʻinga, pea naʻa nau hoko ʻo vaʻinga, mo nau muimui ki he kakai hiteni naʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻaia naʻe fekau ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fai ʻo hangē ko kinautolu.
16And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.
16Pea naʻa nau siʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau kotoa pē ʻo Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau ngaohi maʻanautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe haka, ʻio, ʻae ʻuhiki pulu ʻe ua, mo nau ngaohi ha vao tapu, mo nau lotu ki he nāunau kotoa pē ʻoe langi, mo nau tauhi kia Peali.
17And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.
17Pea naʻa nau pule ki honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi ʻofefine ke nau ʻalu atu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe afi, pea naʻa nau fai fakatēvolo mo nau fai ʻae sausau, pea naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻakinautolu ke fai ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke fakatupu ai ʻa hono houhau.
18And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.
18Ko ia naʻe houhau lahi ai ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, mo ne fetuku atu ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao: naʻe ʻikai tuku ha taha ka ko e faʻahinga pe taha ʻo Siuta.
19But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.
19Pea naʻa mo Siuta naʻe ʻikai tauhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihova ko honau ʻOtua, ka naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻekinautolu.
20And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:
20Pea naʻe siʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻae hako kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, mo ne fakamamahi ʻakinautolu, mo ne tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he nima ʻoe kau maumau, kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻa ʻene liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.
21Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.
21He naʻa ne haea mai ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fale ʻo Tevita; pea naʻa nau fakanofo ke tuʻi ʻa Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati: pea naʻe teketekeʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Selopoami mei he muimui kia Sihova, pea naʻa ne fakaangahalaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he angahala lahi.
22And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,
22He naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi angahala kotoa pē ʻa Selopoami ʻaia naʻa ne fai; naʻe ʻikai mahuʻi ʻakinautolu mei ai;
23Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day.
23Pea naʻe hiki atu ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe Sihova mei hono ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e folofola naʻa ne fai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻe fetuku atu ai ʻa ʻIsileli mei honau fonua ʻonautolu ki ʻAsilia ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
24And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
24¶ Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai mei Papilone, pea mei Kuta, pea mei ʻAva, pea mei Hemati, pea mei Sifaveimi, mo ne tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia, ko e fetongi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻa Samēlia, mo nofo ʻi hono ngaahi kolo ʻo ia.
25And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.
25Pea ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo ʻenau nofo ʻi ai, naʻe ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova: pea ko ia naʻe tuku atu ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe mate ai ʻa honau niʻihi.
26And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
26Ko ia naʻa nau lea ai ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ke hiki mo tuku ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samēlia: ko ia kuo ne fekau atu ʻae fanga laione kiate kinautolu, pea vakai, ʻoku nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻekinautolu ʻae anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.
27And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.
27Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAve ki ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa mou ʻomi mei ai; pea tuku ke nau ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi ai, pea tuku ke ne akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoe fonua.”
28So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.
28Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ha tokotaha ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻa nau ʻave mei Samēlia ʻo ne nofo ʻi Peteli, pea naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ke nau manavahē kia Sihova.
29And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.
29Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga taki taha ʻa hono ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, mo nau ʻai ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe he kakai Samēlia, ko e taki taha ʻae puleʻanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo naʻa nau nofo ki ai.
30For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.
30Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kakai ʻo Papilone ʻa Sukote-Pinoti, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Kuta naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nelikali, pea ʻe he kakai ʻo Hemati naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa ʻAsima,
31And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.
31Pea ʻe he kakai ʻAvi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻa Nipasi mo Talitaki, pea ʻe he kakai Sifaveimi naʻe tutu ʻenau fānau ʻi he afi kia ʻAtilameleki mo ʻAnameleki, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi.
32And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.
32Ko ia naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea naʻa nau ngaohi kiate kinautolu mei he kakai meʻavale ʻaupito ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, pea naʻa nau fai feilaulau ʻekinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga maʻanautolu.
33And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:
33Naʻa nau manavahē kia Sihova, kae tauhi pe ki honau ngaahi ʻotua ʻonautolu, ʻo hangē ko e anga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga naʻa nau ʻave pōpula mei ai.
34Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:
34ʻOku nau fai ki heʻenau anga ʻi muʻa ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni: ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻekinautolu ke tatau mo ʻenau ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ko ʻenau ngaahi fekau, pe hangē ko e fono mo e fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa Sēkope, ʻaia naʻa ne fakahingoa ko ʻIsileli;
35With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.
35ʻAia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ia ha fuakava, pea naʻa ne valoki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe, pe fakatōmapeʻe ʻakimoutolu kiate kinautolu, pe tauhi ki ai, pe feilaulau kiate kinautolu:
36But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.
36Ka ko Sihova ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite ʻi he mālohi lahi, mo e nima naʻe mafao atu, ko ia ia te mou manavahē ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou lotu ki ai, pea ko ia ia te mou fai ki ai ʻae feilaulau.
37And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.
37Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo e ngaahi fakamaau, pea mo e fono, mo e fekau, ʻaia naʻa ne tohi maʻamoutolu, te mou tokanga ke fai ia ʻo lauikuonga; pea ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
38And the covenant that he made with you, you shall not forget: neither shall ye worship strange gods,
38Pea ko e fuakava ʻaia kuo u fai mo kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai te mou fakangaloʻi; pea ʻe ʻikai foki te mou manavahē ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe.
39But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
39Ka te mou manavahē kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he nima ʻo homou ngaahi fili kotoa pē.”
40But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.
40Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo, pea naʻa nau fai pe ʻo hangē ko ʻenau muʻaki anga.
41So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.
41Ko ia, naʻe manavahē ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia kia Sihova, ka naʻa nau tauhi ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatātā naʻe tongi, ʻa ʻenau fānau mo e fānau ʻo ʻenau fānau: ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻenau ngaahi tamai, kuo pehē pe ʻenau fai ʻekinautolu ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
