Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And there came one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters,
1Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hina ʻe fitu, ʻo ne lea kiate au, ʻo pehē mai kiate au, “Haʻu ki heni; pea te u fakahā kiate koe hono fakamaau ʻoe fuʻu feʻauaki, ʻoku heka ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi:
2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; and they who inhabit the earth, have been made drunk with the whine of her whoredom.
2ʻAia kuo fai feʻauaki mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻa māmani, pea ko e kakai ʻo māmani naʻe fakakona ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.”
3And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
3Pea naʻe ʻāvea au ʻi he laumālie ki he toafa: pea ne u mamata ʻoku heka ʻae fefine ʻi he manu fekai ʻoku kulaʻahoʻaho, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi hingoa fakataukae ki he ʻOtua, kuo fitu hono ʻulu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
4And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
4Pea naʻe teunga ʻaki ʻae fefine ʻae kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, pea teunga ʻaki foki ʻae koula mo e ngaahi maka koloa mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe, kuo ʻi hono nima ʻae ipu koula, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.
5And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery; Babylon the great, the mother of the fornications, and the abominations of the earth.
5Pea naʻe tohi ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻae hingoa ni , KO E MEʻA FAKALILOLILO, KO PAPILONE KO E LAHI, KO E FAʻĒ ʻAE KAU FEʻAUAKI MO E NGAAHI FAKALIELIA ʻOE MĀMANI.
6And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her, with great admiration.
6Pea ne u mamata ʻoku konā ʻae fefine ʻi he toto ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo e toto ʻoe kakai naʻe mate koeʻuhi ko Sisu: pea ne u ofo ʻi heʻeku mamata ki ai, ʻo ofo lahi ʻaupito.
7And the angel said to me: Why dost thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast which carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
7Pea pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ofo ai? Te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoku kau ki he fefine, mo e manu fekai ʻoku ne fua ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻulu ʻe fitu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
8The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction: and the inhabitants on the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not.
8Ko e manu fekai ne ke mamata ai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he luo taʻehanotakele, pea ʻe ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui talu hono ngaohi ʻo māmani, te nau ofo ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai eni, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ni.
9And here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are seven kings:
9“Ko eni ʻae loto ʻoku poto. Ko e ʻulu ʻe fitu, ko e moʻunga ia ʻe fitu, ʻaia ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine.
10Five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he is come, he must remain a short time.
10Pea ʻoku fitu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: kuo hinga ʻae toko nima, pea ʻoku ai ni ʻae tokotaha, pea ʻoku teʻeki hoko hono toe; pea ka haʻu ia, kuo pau ke nofo pe ia ʻi he kuonga siʻi.
11And the beast which was, and is not: the same also is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into destruction.
11Pea ko e manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni, ko hono valu ia, pea ʻoku ʻoe toko fitu, pea ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia.
12And the ten horns which thou sawest, are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast.
12“Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e tuʻi ʻe hongofulu ia, ʻoku teʻeki kenau maʻu ha puleʻanga; ka ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mālohi ʻo hangē ha ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻe taha fakataha mo e manu fekai.
13These have one design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
13ʻOku loto taha ʻakinautolu ni, pea te nau foaki ʻenau pule mo e mālohi ki he manu fekai.
14These shall fight with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him are called, and elect, and faithful.
14ʻE tauʻi ʻekinautolu ni ʻae Lami, pea ʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu ʻe he Lami: he ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia kuo ui, mo fili, mo angatonu.”
15And he said to me: The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and nations, and tongues.
15Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi vai ne ke mamata ai, ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine feʻauaki, ko e ngaahi kakai mo e fuʻu tokolahi, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea.
16And the ten horns which thou sawest in the beast: these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her with fire.
16Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu ne ke mamata ai ʻi he manu fekai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻakinautolu ni ki he fefine feʻauaki, pea te nau fakamasivaʻi mo fakatelefuaʻi ia, pea te nau kai ʻa hono kakano, pea tutu ia ʻi he afi.
17For God hath given into their hearts to do that which pleaseth him: that they give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God be fulfilled.
17He kuo fakalotoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ke nau fai ki hono finangalo, pea ke nau loto taha, ʻo foaki honau puleʻanga ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
18And the woman which thou sawest, is the great city, which hath kingdom over the kings of the earth.
18Pea ko e fefine naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e kolo lahi ko ia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne puleʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.”
