Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And after these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power: and the earth was enlightened with his glory.
1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ne u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi lahi; pea naʻe māmangia ʻa māmani ʻi hono nāunau,
2And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird:
2Pea naʻa ne kalanga mālohi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko Papilone ko e lahi kuo hinga, kuo hinga ia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe kau tēvolo, pea ko e ʻananga ʻoe laumālie ʻuli kotoa pē, pea ko e kātoanga ʻoe manupuna kotoa pē ʻoku ʻuli mo fakalielia.
3Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies.
3He kuo inu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he uaine ʻoe houhau ʻo ʻene feʻauaki, pea kuo feʻauaki mo ia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea ko e kau fakatau ʻo māmani kuo nau koloaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa lelei.”
4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Go out from her, my people; that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.
4Pea ne u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻe taha mei he langi, ʻoku pehē mai, “ʻE hoku kakai, haʻu meiate ia, ke ʻoua te mou kau ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahala, pea ke ʻoua naʻa mou moʻua ʻi heʻene ngaahi malaʻia.
5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and the Lord hath remembered her iniquities.
5He kuo aʻu hake ki he langi ʻa ʻene ngaahi angahala, pea kuo manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ngaahi hia.
6Render to her as she also hath rendered to you; and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup wherein she hath mingled, mingle ye double unto her.
6Totongi kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene totongi kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻatu kiate ia ke tuʻo ua ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue: ʻi he ipu ʻaia naʻa ne fakafonu, ke fakafonu ai kiate ia ke liunga ua.
7As much as she hath glorified herself, and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her; because she saith in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow; and sorrow I shall not see.
7Tuku kiate ia ʻae tautea mo e mamahi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene fakahikihikiʻi ia, mo ʻene moʻui fakapelepeleʻi ia: he kuo pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, ‘ʻOku ou nofo ko e tuʻi fefine, pea ʻoku ʻikai mate hoku husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki ha mamahi.’
8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine, and she shall be burnt with the fire; because God is strong, who shall judge her.
8Ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻa hono ngaahi malaʻia, ko e mate, mo e tangi, mo e honge; pea ʻe fakaʻauha mālie ia ʻaki ʻae afi: he ʻoku māfimafi ʻae ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne fakamaauʻi ia.
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication, and lived in delicacies with her, shall weep, and bewail themselves over her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning:
9“Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, naʻa nau feʻauaki mo moʻui fakapelepele mo ia, te nau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻoka nau ka mamata ki he kohu ʻo ʻene vela,
10Standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying: Alas! alas! that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for in one hour is thy judgment come.
10ʻO tuʻu mamaʻo atu, ʻi he manavahē ki heʻene mamahi, mo nau pehē, ‘ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia ko Papilone, ʻae kolo mālohi ko ia! He kuo hoko ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe taha ʻa hoʻo fakamaau.’
11And the merchants of the earth shall weep, and mourn over her: for no man shall buy their merchandise any more.
11“Pea ʻe tangi mo tangilāulau ʻae kau fakatau ʻo māmani koeʻuhi ko ia; he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke toe fakatau ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatau:
12Merchandise of gold and silver, and precious stones; and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner of vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble,
12Ko e meʻa fakatau ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, mo e maka koloa, mo e mataʻitofe, mo e tupenu mahuʻinga, mo e kulokula, mo e silika, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e ʻakau melie kotoa pē, mo e ipu lei kotoa pē, mo e ipu ʻoe ʻakau mahuʻinga lahi kotoa pē, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e maka lelei,
13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
13Mo e sinamoni, mo e ngaahi meʻa nanamu mo e meʻa tākai, mo e laipeno, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e mahoaʻa lelei, mo e uite, mo e fanga manu, mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi sino, mo e ngaahi laumālie ʻoe kakai.
14And the fruits of the desire of thy soul are departed from thee, and all fat and goodly things are perished from thee, and they shall find them no more at all.
14Pea ko e ngaahi fua naʻe holi ki ai ʻa ho laumālie, kuo mole ʻiate koe, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ifoifo lelei mo matamatalelei, kuo mole ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke kei ʻilo ia.
15The merchants of these things, who were made rich, shall stand afar off from her, for fear of her torments, weeping and mourning.
15Ko e kau fakatau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau koloaʻia meiate ia, ʻe tutuʻu ʻi he mamaʻo atu, ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ki heʻene mamahi, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau,
16And saying: Alas! alas! that great city, which was clothed with fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and was gilt with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.
16‘Mo nau pehē, ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu mahuʻinga, mo e kulokula, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, pea teunga ʻaki ʻae koula, mo e maka koloa, mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe!
17For in one hour are so great riches come to nought; and every shipmaster, and all that sail into the lake, and mariners, and as many as work in the sea, stood afar off.
17Koeʻuhi ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo mole ai ʻae koloa lahi pehē ni.’ Pea ko e ʻeiki vaka kotoa pē, mo e kakai folau kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi vaka, mo e kau toutai, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai fakatau ʻi he tahi, naʻa nau tutuʻu mamaʻo atu,
18And cried, seeing the place of her burning, saying: What city is like to this great city?
18ʻo tangi, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he kohu ʻo ʻene vela, mo pehē, ‘Ko fē hano tatau ʻoe kolo lahi ni!’
19And they cast dust upon their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying: Alas! alas! that great city, wherein all were made rich, that had ships at sea, by reason of her prices: for in one hour she is made desolate.
19“Pea naʻa nau lī ʻae efu ki honau ʻulu, ʻo tangi, pea tangilāulau mo ʻOiauē, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, ʻaia naʻe maʻu koloa mei ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi he tahi, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakatau lahi; he ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo fakamasiva ia.’
20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath judged your judgment on her.
20“ʻE langi, ke ke fiefia kiate ia, fakataha mo e kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni; he kuo totongi ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.”
21And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
21Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ha ʻāngelo mālohi ʻae maka ʻo hangē ha fuʻu maka momosi, ʻo ne lī ia ki he tahi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE pehē ʻa hono lī mālohi hifo ʻae kolo lahi ko ia ko Papilone, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei ʻiloʻi ia.
22And the voice of harpers, and of musicians, and of them that play on the pipe, and on the trumpet, shall no more be heard at all in thee; and no craftsman of any art whatsoever shall be found any more at all in thee; and the sound of the mill shall be heard no more at all in thee;
22Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei fanongo ʻiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe kau tā haʻape, mo e kau tā meʻa faiva, mo e kau ifi fangufangu, mo e kau ifi meʻa lea, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻilo ʻiate koe ha tufunga ʻe taha, ʻi ha faiva ʻe taha; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ongoʻi ʻiate koe ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe maka momosi;
23And the light of the lamp shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth, for all nations have been deceived by thy enchantments.
23Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei malama ʻiate koe ʻae ulo ʻo ha maama; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei ongoʻi ʻiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane mo e taʻahine: he ko e houʻeiki ʻo māmani ko hoʻo kau fakatau; he naʻe kākaaʻi ʻe hoʻo fie mana ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.”
24And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
24Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia ʻae toto ʻoe kau palōfita, mo e kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
