Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
1Ko e malaʻia ki ʻAliela, ki ʻAliela, ʻae kolo naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tevita! Fakalahi ʻae tau ki he tau; tuku ke nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau.
2And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
2Ka te u fakamamahiʻi ʻa ʻAliela, pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongosia mo e mamahi: pea ʻe pehē ia kiate au ʻo hangē ko e potu ʻoe feilaulauʻanga.
3And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
3Pea te u takatakai koe pea kāpui koe ʻaki ʻae moʻunga, pea te u langa ʻae ngaahi kolo kiate koe.
4Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
4Pea ʻe fakavaivaiʻi koe, pea te ke lea mei he kelekele, pea ʻe māʻulalo ho leʻo mei he efu, pea ʻe tatau ho leʻo mo ha taha ʻoku ʻiate ia ha laumālie kovi, mei he kelekele, pea ʻe fafana ho leʻo mei he efu.
5And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
5Pea ko e tokolahi ʻo hoʻo kau muli te nau hangē ko e efuefu momo iiki, pea mo e tokolahi ʻoe kakai fakamanavahē te nau hangē ko e kafukafu ʻoku mole atu: ʻio, ʻe hoko fakafokifā ia ʻi he kemo pe taha.
6And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
6ʻE ʻaʻahi kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau ʻaki ʻae mana, pea mo e mofuike, mo e longoaʻa lahi, ʻaki ʻae matangi lahi mo e afā, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha.
7And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
7¶ Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku tauʻi ʻa ʻAliela, ʻio, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tauʻi ia mo ʻene kolo, pea ʻoku fakamamahiʻi ia, te nau hangē ko ha misi, pe ko e meʻa hā mai ʻi he pō.
8And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.
8ʻO hangē ko e misi ʻae tangata fiekaia, pea vakai, ʻoku hangē ʻoku ne kai; pea ʻoka ʻā ia, ʻoku ngaongao hono laumālie: pe hangē ko e misi ʻa ha tangata fieinu, pea vakai, hangē ʻoku inu ia; ka ʻoku ne ʻaa, pea vakai, ʻoku vaivai ia, pea ʻoku ne holi: ʻe pehē pe ʻae tokolahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻoku tauʻi ʻae moʻunga ko Saione.
9Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
9¶ Mou tatali, pea ofo; mou kalanga, pea tangi: ʻoku nau konā, kae ʻikai ʻi he uaine; ʻoku nau tasipa, kae ʻikai ʻi he inu mālohi.
10For the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
10He kuo lilingi ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe mohe maʻu, pea kuo tāpuni homou mata: kuo ne fakapulou ʻae kau palōfita mo hoʻomou kau pule mo e kau kikite.
11And the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is sealed.
11Pea ko e meʻa hā mai kotoa pē kuo hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻo tatau mo e ngaahi lea ʻo ha tohi kuo tāpuni, ʻoku ʻange ʻe ha tangata ki ha tokotaha ʻoku poto, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lau ʻae meʻa ni,” pea ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa fai ia he kuo maʻu ia;”
12And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
12Pea ʻoku ʻatu ʻae tohi kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai poto, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke lau ʻae meʻa ni: pea ʻoku ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u poto.”
13And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines of men:
13¶ Ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau ngutu, pea fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu, ka kuo mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au, pea ko ʻenau manavahē kiate au ʻoku tupu ia mei he ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata pe:
14Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
14Ko ia, vakai, te u fai leva ha ngāue fakaofo ki he kakai ni, ʻio, ʻae ngāue fakaofo mo lahi: he ko e poto ʻo ʻenau kau tangata poto ʻe ʻauha ia, pea ko e ʻilo ʻo ʻenau kau tangata fakamākukanga ʻe fufū ia.
15Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
15ʻE malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻahiʻahi lahi ke fufūnaki honau loto meia Sihova, pea ʻoku fai ʻi he poʻuli ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, pea ʻoku nau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku mamata kiate kitautolu? Pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakitautolu?”
16This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
16Ko e moʻoni ko hoʻomou fulifulihi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe tatau mo e ʻumea ʻoe tangata ngaohi ipu: he ʻe lea pehē koā ʻae meʻa kuo ngaohi kiate ia naʻa ne fakatufungaʻi, naʻe ʻikai te ne ngaohi au? Pe, ʻe pehē ʻae meʻa kuo ngaohi kiate ia naʻe ngaohi ia, naʻe ʻikai haʻane ʻilo?
17Is it not yet a very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed as a forest?
17ʻIkai ʻoku toetoe siʻi pea ʻe liliu ʻa Lepanoni ke hoko ko e ngoue fua moʻui, pea ko e ngoue fua ʻe tatau ia mo e vao ʻakau?
18And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind shall see.
18¶ Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe fanongo ʻae tuli ki he ngaahi lea ʻoe tohi, pea ʻe mamata ʻae mata ʻoe kui mei he kakapu, pea mei he poʻuli.
19And the meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
19Pea ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae fiefia ʻae angavaivai ʻia Sihova, pea ko e masiva ʻi he kakai te nau fiefia ʻi he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
20For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
20He kuo mole ʻae tokotaha naʻe fakamālohi, pea kuo ʻauha mo e tangata manuki, pea kuo tuʻusi ke motu ʻakinautolu ʻoku lama ke fai kovi.
21That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
21ʻOku nau fakahalaia ha tangata ʻi he kupuʻi lea, pea ʻoku nau tau ʻae tauhele kiate ia ʻoku valoki ʻi he matapā, pea fakaafe ʻae angatonu ʻi he meʻa taʻeʻaonga.
22Therefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
22Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻEpalahame, ki he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻe ʻikai mā ʻa Sēkope, pea ʻe ʻikai liliu ʻo tea hono mata.
23But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify the God of Israel:
23Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ki heʻene fānau, ko e ngāue ʻa hoku nima, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia, te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku huafa, pea fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sēkope, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
24And they that erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
24Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe hala ʻi he laumālie te nau hoko ʻo ʻilo, pea ko kinautolu naʻe lāunga te nau maʻu ʻae akonaki.
