Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the earth was of one tongue, and of the same speech.
1Pea naʻe ngutu taha pe ʻa māmani kotoa, mo lea taha pe.
2And when they removed from the east, they found a plain in the land of Sennaar, and dwelt in it.
2Pea naʻe hoko, ʻi heʻenau fononga mei hahake, naʻa nau ʻilo ai ʻae toafa ʻi he fonua ko Saina; pea nau nofo ai.
3And each one said to his neighbour: Come, let us make brick, and bake them with fire. And they had brick instead of stones, and slime instead of mortar.
3Pea naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Vakai, ke tau ngaohi ʻae makaʻumea, pea taʻo ia ke vela ʻaupito. Pea naʻa nau maka ʻaki ʻae makaʻumea, mo nau lahe ʻaki ʻae kelepulu.”
4And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, the top whereof may reach to heaven: and let us make our name famous before we be scattered abroad into all lands.
4Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ke tau langa moʻotautolu ha kolo mo e fale māʻolunga, kae aʻu hono tuʻa fale ki langi; pea tau fakaongoongoa ʻa hotau hingoa, telia naʻa fakamovetevete ʻakitautolu ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa.”
5And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of Adam were building.
5Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova, ke ʻafio ki he kolo mo e fale māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻe he fānau ʻae tangata.
6And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed.
6Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, “Vakai, ʻoku taha pe ʻae kakai, pea ʻoku nau lea taha pe; pea kuo nau kamata fai eni: pea ko eni, ʻe ʻikai taʻofia ʻakinautolu, ʻi ha meʻa kuo nau fakakaukau ke fai.
7Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
7Vakai, ke tau ʻalu hifo, pea veuveuki ʻenau lea, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau feʻiloaki lea.”
8And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city.
8Ko ia naʻe fakamovetevete ai ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau tuku ʻae langa kolo.
9And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
9Ko ia ʻoku ui ai hono hingoa ko Pepeli; koeʻuhi naʻe veuveuki ʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lea ʻa māmani kotoa pē: pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu mei ai, ʻe Sihova, ki he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē.
10These are the generations of Sem: Sem was a hundred years old when he begot Arphaxad, two years after the flood.
10Ko eni ʻae ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo Semi naʻe teau taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Semi, pea fānau kiate ia ʻa ʻAfakisati ʻi hono ua taʻu hili ʻae lōmaki:
11And Sem lived after he begot Arphaxad, five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.
11Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Semi hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa ʻAfakisati ʻi he taʻu ʻe nimangeau, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
12And Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Sale.
12Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻAfakisati ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma nima, pea fānau kiate ia ʻa Sela:
13And Arphaxad lived after he begot Sale, three hundred and three years; and begot sons and daughters.
13Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻAfakisati, hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa Sela, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolu, pea fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.

15Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Sela hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa ʻIpela ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
16And Heber lived thirty-four years, and begot Phaleg.
16Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻIpela ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma fā, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Peleki:
17And Heber lived after he begot Phaleg, four hundred and thirty years: and begot sons and daughters.
17Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa ʻIpela hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻo Peleki, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau ma tolungofulu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
18Phaleg also lived thirty years, and begot Reu.
18Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Peleki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Liu:
19And Phaleg lived after he begot Reu, two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.
19Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Peleki hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa Liu, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uangeau ma hiva, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
20And Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Sarug.
20Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Liu ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma ua, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Seluke:
21And Reu lived after he begot Sarug, two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.
21Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Liu hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa Seluke, ʻi he taʻu ʻe uangeau ma fitu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
22And Sarug lived thirty years, and begot Nachor.
22Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Seluke ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Nehoa;
23And Sarug lived after he begot Nachor, two hundred years: and begot sons and daughters.
23Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Seluke hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa Nehoa ʻi he taʻu ʻe uangeau, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
24And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begot Thare.
24Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Nehoa ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu ma hiva, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa Tela:
25And Nachor lived after he begot Thare, a hundred and nineteen years: and begot sons and daughters.
25Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Nehoa hili ʻae fanauʻi ʻa Tela ʻi he taʻu ʻe teau ma hongofulu ma hiva, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
26And Thare lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Aran.
26Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Tela ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitungofulu, pea naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻa ʻEpalame, mo Nehoa, mo Halani.
27And these are the generations of Thare: Thare begot Abram, Nachor, and Aran. And Aran begot Lot.
27¶ Pea ko eni ʻae hako ʻo Tela: naʻe fānau kia Tela ʻa ʻEpalame, mo Nehoa, mo Halani; pea naʻe fānau kia Halani ʻa Lote.
28And Aran died before Thare his father, in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees.
28Pea naʻe tomuʻa pekia ʻa Halani ʻi heʻene tamai ko Tela, ʻi he fonua naʻe fanauʻi ai ia, ko Ua ʻi Kalitia.
29And Abram and Nachor married wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai: and the name of Nachor’s wife, Melcha, the daughter of Aran, father of Melcha, and father of Jescha.
29Pea naʻe maʻu uaifi ʻa ʻEpalame mo Nehoa: ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo ʻEpalame ko Selai, pea ko e hingoa ʻoe uaifi ʻo Nehoa ko Milika, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Halani, ko e tamai ʻa Milika, mo e tamai ʻa Isika.
30And Sarai was barren, and had no children.
30Ka naʻe paʻa ʻa Selai; naʻe ʻikai haʻa ne tama.
31And Thare took Abram, his son, and Lot the son of Aran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, the wife of Abram his son, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Chanaan: and they came as far as Haran, and dwelt there.
31Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Tela ʻa hono foha ko ʻEpalame, mo Lote ko e foha ʻo hono foha ko Halani, mo Selai ko hono ʻofefine ʻi he fono, ko e uaifi ʻo hono foha ko ʻEpalame; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu mei Ua ʻi Kalitia, ke fononga ki he fonua ko Kēnani; pea naʻa nau hoko ki Halani, ʻo nofo ai.
32And the days of Thare were two hundred and five years, and he died in Haran.
32Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Tela ko e taʻu ʻe uangeau ma nima; pea naʻe pekia ʻa Tela ʻi Halani.
