Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And after that men began to be multiplied upon the earth, and daughters were born to them,
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, naʻe fanauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kinautolu,
2The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose.
2Pea mamata ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata ʻoku nau hoihoifua; pea naʻa nau fili mei ai ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻo maʻu kiate kinautolu.
3And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
3Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “E ʻikai ʻahiʻahi maʻuaipē ʻa hoku Laumālie mo e tangata, he ko e kakano foki ia: ka ʻe hoko hono ngaahi ʻaho ki he taʻu ʻe teau ma uofulu.”
4Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown.
4ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ai ʻae kakai lalahi ʻi māmani; pea hili ia foki, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata, pea nau fānau kiate kinautolu, naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae kau tangata ko ia, ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻoe muʻaki kuonga.
5And God seeing that the wickedness of men was great on the earth, and that all the thought of their heart was bent upon evil at all times,
5¶ Pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lahi ʻae angahala ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea kuo kovi maʻuaipē ʻae filioʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi mahalo ʻa hono loto.
6It repented him that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with sorrow of heart,
6Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono finangalo.
7He said: I will destroy man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man even to beasts, from the creeping thing even to the fowls of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them.
7Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae tangata ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; ko e tangata, mo e manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā; he ʻoku ou fakatomala ʻi heʻeku ngaohi ʻakinautolu.”
8But Noe found grace before the Lord.
8Ka naʻe ʻofeina ʻa Noa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
9These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God.
9¶ Ko eni ʻae tala hohoko kia Noa ko e tangata angatonu mo haohaoa ʻa Noa ʻi hono toʻutangata, pea naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻa Noa mo e ʻOtua.
10And he begot three sons, Sem, Cham, and Japheth.
10Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Noa ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti.
11And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.
11Naʻe fakalielia foki ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi.
12And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,)
12Pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki māmani, pea vakai kuo kovi ia; he naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻe he kakano kotoa pē hono hala ʻi māmani.
13He said to Noe: The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth.
13Pea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Kuo hoko ki hoku ʻao ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; he kuo fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi ʻiate kinautolu; pea vakai, te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani.
14Make thee an ark of timber planks: thou shalt make little rooms in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without.
14¶ Ngaohi kiate koe hā vaka mei he ʻakau ko e kofa; te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻana ʻi he vaka, pea te ke vali ʻaki ia ʻae pulu ʻi loto mo tuʻa.
15And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits: the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
15Pea ko eni ʻae anga ʻo hono ngaohi, Ko hono lōloa ʻoe vaka ko e hanga ʻe onongeau, ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu.
16Thou shalt make a window in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish the top of it: and the door of the ark thou shalt set in the side: with lower, middle chambers, and third stories shalt thou make it.
16Te ke ngaohi ha kātupa ʻi he vaka pea te ke fakaʻosi ia ʻi he hanga ʻe ua ki ʻolunga; pea te ke ʻai ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻi hono kaokao; pea te ke ngaohi ʻae fata ʻi lalo, mo hono ua, mo hono tolu, ki ʻolunga .
17Behold I will bring the waters of a great flood upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, under heaven. All things that are in the earth shall be consumed.
17Pea vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē mei he lalo langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea ʻe mate ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.
18And I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt enter into the ark, thou and thy sons, and thy wife, and the wives of thy sons with thee.
18Ka te u fokotuʻumaʻu mo koe ʻeku fuakava; pea te ke haʻu ki he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.
19And of every living creature of all flesh, thou shalt bring two of a sort into the ark, that they may live with thee: of the male sex, and the female.
19Pea te ke ʻomi ki he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua mei he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mo koe; ko e fefine mo e tangata.
20Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of every thing that creepeth on the earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live.
20Ko e fanga manupuna ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae toko ua ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui.
21Thou shalt take unto thee of all food that may be eaten, and thou shalt lay it up with thee: and it shall be food for thee and them.
21Pea ke toʻo kiate koe ʻi he meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoku kai, pea te ke tānaki ia kiate koe; pea ko e meʻakai ia kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu.”
22And Noe did all things which God commanded him.
22Naʻe fai pehē ʻe Noa; ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fai.
