Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple.
1Pea hū atu ʻa Sisu mei he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga ke fakahā kiate ia hono ngaahi potu ʻoe falelotu lahi.
2And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed.
2Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai ʻoku mou mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē? ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ʻi heni ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka, ʻe taʻelaku ki lalo.”
3And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world?
3¶ Pea ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, naʻe haʻu fakafufū ʻae kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “Fakahā kiate kimautolu, ʻe hoko ʻafe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻo hoʻo haʻu, pea mo e ngataʻanga ʻo māmani?”
4And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you:
4Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Vakai telia naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tangata.
5For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.
5Koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ko e Kalaisi;’ pea ʻe kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi:
6And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not troubled. For these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
6Pea te mou fanongo ki he ngaahi tau mo e ongoongo ʻoe tau: kaeʻoua naʻa mou manavahē: koeʻuhi ʻe hoko eni kotoa pē, kae teʻeki hoko ʻae ngataʻanga.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places:
7Koeʻuhi ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ki he kakai, mo e puleʻanga ki he puleʻanga: pea ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi honge, mo e mahaki lahi, mo e mofuike, ʻi he potu kehekehe.
8Now all these are the beginnings of sorrows.
8Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ko e kamataʻanga pe ʻoe ngaahi mamahi.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall put you to death: and you shall be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.
9“Pea te nau toki tukuange ʻakimoutolu ke tautea, mo tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.
10And then shall many be scandalized: and shall betray one another: and shall hate one another.
10Pea ʻe toki hinga ai ʻae tokolahi, ʻo felavakiʻiʻaki ʻakinautolu, mo fetāufehiʻaʻaki.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many.
11Pea tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita loi ʻe tupu ai, ʻonau kākaaʻi ʻae tokolahi.
12And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.
12Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻaupito ʻoe angahala, ʻe momoko ai ʻae ʻofa ʻae tokolahi.
13But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved.
13Ka ko ia ʻe faʻa kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ko ia ia ʻe moʻui.
14And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come.
14Pea ko e ongoongolelei ni ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe malangaʻaki ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe toki hoko mai ʻae ikuʻanga.
15When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand.
15“Ko ia ʻoka mou ka mamata ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu tapu, ʻae meʻa ‘fakalielia ʻoe fakaʻauha,’ naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko Taniela,” (pea ko ia ʻoku ne lau ia, ke tokanga ia ki ai :)
16Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains:
16“Pea ke toki feholaki ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Siutea:
17And he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house:
17Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tuʻa fale, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ia, ke toʻo ha meʻa ʻe taha mei hono fale:
18And he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his coat.
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua naʻa liu mai ia, ke toʻo hono ngaahi kofu.
19And woe to them that are with child, and that give suck in those days.
19Ka ʻe malaʻia ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama, mo kinautolu ʻoku toutama, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia!
20But pray that your flight be not in the winter, or on the sabbath.
20Ka mou kole ke ʻoua naʻa hoko hoʻomou feholaki ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko, pe ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate:
21For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be.
21Ka koeʻuhi ʻe toki hoko ʻae mamahi lahi, naʻe ʻikai hano tatau talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻo lauikuonga.
22And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days shall be shortened.
22Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai fakasiʻisiʻi ki he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ʻikai moʻui ha tokotaha: ka koeʻuhi ko e kakai kuo fili ʻe fakasiʻisiʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia.
23Then if any man shall say to you: Lo here is Christ, or there, do not believe him.
23“Pea kapau ʻe toki pehē ai ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻa Kalaisi,’ pe ‘ʻi hena;’ ʻoua naʻa tui ki ai .
24For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.
24Koeʻuhi ʻe ai ʻae ngaahi Kalaisi loi, mo e kau palōfita loi, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga lahi, mo e meʻa fakaofo: ke nau kākā ʻaki ʻae kakai kuo fili, ʻoka ne faingofua.
25Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.
25Vakai, kuo u tomuʻa tala ia kiate kimoutolu.
26If therefore they shall say to you: Behold he is in the desert, go ye not out: Behold he is in the closets, believe it not.
26“Ko ia kapau te nau pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he toafa ia;’ ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu: ‘Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi potu lilo:’ ʻoua naʻa tui ki ai .
27For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be.
27He ʻoku hangē ko e ʻasi mai ʻoe ʻuhila mei he potu hahake, pea ulo ʻo aʻu ki he potu lulunga; ʻe pehē foki ʻae haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
28Wheresoever the body shall be, there shall the eagles also be gathered together.
28“He ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻangaʻanga, ʻe kātoa ki ai ʻae fanga ʻikale foki.
29And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven shall be moved:
29¶ “Pea hili ʻae mamahi ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻe fakapoʻuli leva ʻae laʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai ulo mai ʻae māhina, pea ʻe ngangana ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu mei he langi, pea ʻe ngalulu ʻae ngaahi mālohi ʻoe langi:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn: and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty.
30Pea ʻe toki hā mai ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he langi: pea ʻe toki tangi ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, pea te nau mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi, ʻi he mālohi mo e nāunau lahi.
31And he shall send his angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them.
31Pea ʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngelo mo e meʻa lea leʻo lahi, pea te nau tānaki fakataha ʻene kakai kuo fili mei hono feituʻu langi ʻe fā, mei he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻoe langi ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha.
32And from the fig tree learn a parable: When the branch thereof is now tender, and the leaves come forth, you know that summer is nigh.
32“Pea mou tokanga ki he fakatātā ʻoe ʻakau ko e fiki: ʻOka kei litolito hono vaʻa, pea tupu hono lau, ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ʻae faʻahitaʻu mafana:
33So you also, when you shall see all these things, know ye that it is nigh, even at the doors.
33Pea pehē foki, ʻoka mou ka mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, mou ʻilo ʻoku ofi ia, ʻio, ʻoku ʻi he matapā.
34Amen I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
34ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ʻosi ʻae toʻutangata ni, kaeʻoua ke fakamoʻoni ʻa eni kotoa pē.
35Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
35ʻE mole ʻae langi mo māmani, kae ʻikai mole ʻeku lea.
36But of that day and hour no one knoweth, not the angels of heaven, but the Father alone.
36¶ “Ka ko e ʻaho mo e feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ki ai ha taha, pe ʻilo ʻe he kau ʻāngelo ʻoe langi, ka ko ʻeku Tamai pe.
37And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
37Kae hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, ʻe pehē pe foki ʻae haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
38For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark,
38He koeʻuhi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi he lōmaki naʻa nau kai mo inu, mo mali, mo foaki ke fakamaʻu, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe hū ai ʻa Noa ki he vaka,
39And they knew not till the flood came, and took them all away; so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
39Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻamanaki, mo ʻene hoko mai ʻae vai lahi, ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu kotoa pē; ʻe pehē pe ʻae haʻu foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
40Then two shall be in the field: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
40ʻE ʻi he ngoue ʻae toko ua; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill: one shall be taken, and one shall be left.
41ʻE ai ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ʻoku ngāue ʻi he meʻa momosi; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
42Watch ye therefore, because ye know not what hour your Lord will come.
42¶ “Ko ia leʻo: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ko ia ʻe haʻu ai homou ʻEiki.
43But know this ye, that if the goodman of the house knew at what hour the thief would come, he would certainly watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.
43Kae ʻilo eni, ka ne ʻilo ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe fale ʻae lakanga leʻo ko ia ʻe haʻu ai ʻae kaihaʻa, pehē , kuo ne leʻo, kae ʻikai tuku ke haea hono fale.
44Wherefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
44Ko ia ke tali teu pe ʻakimoutolu foki: koeʻuhi ʻe haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻamanaki ki ai.
45Who, thinkest thou, is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath appointed over his family, to give them meat in season.
45“Pea ko hai ʻae tamaioʻeiki angatonu mo poto, kuo fakanofo ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ke pule ki hono kaungāʻapi, mo tufaki kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻakai ʻi hono taimi totonu?
46Blessed is that servant, whom when his lord shall come he shall find so doing.
46ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻa ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ʻilo ia ʻoku ne fai pehē.
47Amen I say to you, he shall place him over all his goods.
47Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, te ne fakanofo ia ke ne puleʻi ʻene meʻa kotoa pē.
48But if that evil servant shall say in his heart: My lord is long a coming:
48Pea kapau ʻe pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki angakovi ʻi hono loto, ‘ʻOku fakatuai ne haʻu ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki;’
49And shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and shall eat and drink with drunkards:
49pea ne kamata teʻia ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki, pea kai ia mo inu fakataha mo e kau konā;
50The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he hopeth not, and at an hour that he knoweth not:
50ʻE haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻi ha ʻaho ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻamanekina, pea ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo,
51And shall separate him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51Pea ʻe tuʻuua ia, ʻo tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻinasi fakataha ia mo e kau mālualoi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
