Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In the seventh year thou shalt make a remission,
1“ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo hono fitu ʻoe taʻu kotoa pē ke ke fai ʻae vete ange.
2Which shall be celebrated in this order. He to whom any thing is owing from his friend or neighbour or brother, cannot demand it again, because it is the year of remission of the Lord,
2Pea ko hono anga ʻoe vete ange eni: Ko ia kotoa pē naʻe nō atu ha meʻa ki hono kaungāʻapi ke vete ʻe ia ia; ʻoua naʻa ʻeke ia ʻi hono kaungāʻapi, pe ki hono tokoua; koeʻuhi ʻoku ui ia ko e vete ange kia Sihova.
3Of the foreigner or stranger thou mayst exact it: of thy countryman and neighbour thou shalt not have power to demand it again.
3ʻE ngofua ʻa hoʻo ʻeke ia ki he muli ka ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻau mo ho tokoua ʻe tukuange ia ʻe ho nima;
4And there shall be no poor nor beggar among you: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in the land which he will give thee in possession.
4Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha kau masiva ʻiate kimoutolu; koeʻuhi ʻe tāpuaki lahi koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ke maʻu ko e tofiʻa:
5Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep all things that he hath ordained, and which I command thee this day, he will bless thee, as he hath promised.
5ʻO kapau te ke fanongo lelei ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ke tokanga ʻo fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni.
6Thou shalt lend to many nations, and thou shalt borrow of no man. Thou shalt have dominion over very many nations, and no one shall have dominion over thee.
6He ʻoku tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene talaʻofa kiate koe: pea te ke nō atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te ke nō mai; pea te ke pule koe ki he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai tenau pule kiate koe.
7If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within the gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand,
7¶ “Kapau ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ha tangata masiva ʻi ho kāinga ʻi he ngaahi matanikolo ʻo ho fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke fakafefeka ho loto, pe tāpuni ho nima ki ho tokoua masiva:
8But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of.
8Ka te ke mafola ke lahi ho nima kiate ia, pea ke nō atu moʻoni kiate ia ke tatau mo ʻene masiva, ʻaia ʻoku ne masiva ai.
9Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee.
9Vakai telia naʻa ai ha mahalo ʻi ho loto kovi, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ofi ʻa hono fitu ʻoe taʻu, ko e taʻu ʻoe vete ange: pea kovi ai ho mata ki ho tokoua masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tuku ha meʻa kiate ia; pea tangi lāunga ai ia kia Sihova ʻiate koe, pea hoko ia ko e angahala kiate koe.
10But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy hand.
10Ko e moʻoni te ke foaki kiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa mamahi ho loto ʻi hoʻo foaki kiate ia: he koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni ʻe tāpuaki ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mafao atu ho nima ki ai.
11There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation: therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother, that liveth in the land.
11Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ngata ʻae masiva mei ho fonua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke mafola ho nima ʻo lahi ki ho tokoua, ki he masiva, mo ia ʻoku tuʻutāmaki, ʻi ho fonua.
12When thy brother a Hebrew man, or Hebrew woman is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free:
12¶ “Pea kapau kuo fakatau kiate koe ho tokoua, ko e tangata Hepelū, pe ko e fefine Hepelū, ʻo ne tauhi koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono; ke ke toki tukuange ia ke ʻataʻatā meiate koe ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu.
13And when thou sendest him out free, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
13Pea ʻoka ke ka fekau ia ke ʻalu ʻo ʻataʻatā meiate koe, ʻoua naʻa ke tuku ia ke ʻalu masiva;
14But shalt give him for his way out of thy flocks, and out of thy barnfloor, and thy winepress, wherewith the Lord thy God shall bless thee.
14Ka te ke tuku ʻae meʻa lahi kiate ia mei hoʻo fanga manu, pea mei hoʻo hahaʻanga, pea mei hoʻo tataʻoʻanga uaine: ʻi he meʻa ʻaia kuo tāpuakiʻi ai koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua te ke ʻatu kiate ia.
15Remember that thou also wast a bondservant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord thy God made thee free, and therefore I now command thee this.
15Pea ke manatu ko e tangata pōpula koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea naʻe huhuʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ou fekau ai ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.
16But if he say: I will not depart: because he loveth thee, and thy house, and findeth that he is well with thee:
16Pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate koe, ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻiate koe; ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻofa kiate koe mo ho fale, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lelei ʻiate koe;
17Thou shalt take an awl, and bore through his ear in the door of thy house, and he shall serve thee for ever: thou shalt do in like manner to thy womanservant also.
17Te ke toki toʻo mai ha vili, pea tui ʻaki ia hono telinga ke maʻu ki he matapā, pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata. Pea ke fai pehē foki ki hoʻo kaunanga.
18Turn not away thy eyes from them when thou makest them tree: because he hath served thee six years according to the wages of a hireling: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works that thou dost.
18ʻOua naʻa matamata faingataʻa kiate koe, ʻoka ke ka tukuange ia ke ʻalu ʻo ʻataʻatā meiate koe; he naʻe tatau ia kiate koe mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko ua ʻoku ngāue ki he totongi, ʻi heʻene tauhi koe ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono: pea ʻe tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke fai.
19Of the firstlings, that come of thy herds and thy sheep, thou shalt sanctify to the Lord thy God whatsoever is of the male sex. Thou shalt not work with the firstling of a bullock, and thou shalt not shear the firstlings of thy sheep.
19¶ “Ko e ʻuluaki fānau tangata kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ʻi hoʻo fanga manu lalahi mo hoʻo fanga manu siʻi ke ke fakatapui kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ʻoua naʻa ke fai ha ngāue ʻe taha ʻaki ʻae ʻuluaki ʻo hoʻo fanga pulu, pea ʻoua naʻa kosi ʻae ʻuluaki fānau ʻa hoʻo sipi.
20In the sight of the Lord thy God shalt thou eat them every year, in the place that the Lord shall choose, thou and thy house.
20Ka ke kai ia, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻe koe mo ho fale kotoa, ʻi he taʻu tukufakaholo kotoa pē, ʻi he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova.
21But if it have a blemish, or be lame, or blind, or in any part disfigured or feeble, it shall not be sacrificed to the Lord thy God.
21Pea kapau ʻoku ai hano mele, kapau ʻoku ketu, pe kui, pe ʻi ai ha lavea kovi, ʻoua naʻa ke feilaulau ʻaki ia kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
22But thou shalt eat it within the gates of thy city: the clean and the unclean shall eat them alike, as the roe and as the hart.
22Ke ke kai ia ʻi ho lotoʻā: ʻe fakatou kai ʻi ai ʻae taʻemaʻa mo e maʻa, ʻo hangē ko e ʻanitelope, mo e haʻate.
23Only thou shalt take heed not to eat their blood, but pour it out on the earth as water.
23Kaeʻoua naʻa ke kai ʻa hono toto ka ke lilingi ia ki he kelekele ʻo hangē ko e vai.
