Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1After these things I looked, and behold a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, as it were, of a trumpet speaking with me, said: Come up hither, and I will shew thee the things which must be done hereafter.
1Pea hili eni, ne u mamata, pea vakai, kuo fakaava ʻae matapā ʻi he langi: pea ko e ʻuluaki leʻo ʻaia ne u ongoʻi naʻe hangē ko e meʻa lea ʻoku lea kiate au; pea ne pehē mai, “Haʻu ki ʻolunga ni, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonu ke hoko ʻamui.”
2And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold there was a throne set in heaven, and upon the throne one sitting.
2Pea fakafokifā pe kuo u ʻi he Laumālie: pea vakai, ne tuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻi he langi, pea nofo ʻae tokotaha ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
3And he that sat, was to the sight like the jasper and the sardine stone; and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
3Pea ko ia naʻe nofo ai naʻe matamata lelei ʻo hangē ko e maka ko e sasipa mo e satino; pea naʻe takatakai ʻae nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻe he ʻumata, naʻe hā mai ʻo hangē ko e ʻemalata.
4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats, four and twenty ancients sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads were crowns of gold.
4Pea naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻoe nofoʻa ʻe uofulu ma fā: pea ne u mamata ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa ʻae mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu hinehina; pea naʻe ai ʻi honau ʻulu ʻae ngaahi pale koula.
5And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there were seven lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God.
5Pea naʻe hā mai mei he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae ʻuhila mo e mana mo e ngaahi leʻo: pea naʻe ulo ʻae maama afi ʻe fitu ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ko e Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua.
6And in the sight of the throne was, as it were, a sea of glass like to crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind.
6Pea naʻe ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae tahi sioʻata ʻo hangē ko e kalisitala: pea naʻe ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻae faʻahinga meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, kuo fonu ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata ʻi ʻao pea mo tuʻa.
7And the first living creature was like a lion: and the second living creature like a calf: and the third living creature, having the face, as it were, of a man: and the fourth living creature was like an eagle flying.
7Pea ko e ʻuluaki meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e laione, ko hono ua ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko e pulu, ko hono tolu ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe mata tatau mo e tangata, pea ko hono fā ʻoe meʻa moʻui naʻe hangē ko ha ʻikale ʻoku puna.
8And the four living creatures had each of them six wings; and round about and within they are full of eyes. And they rested not day and night, saying: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is to come.
8Pea ko e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā naʻa nau taki ono ʻae kapakau; pea naʻa nau pito ʻi loto ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mata: pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho pe ʻi he pō, kae pehē pe, “Māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, māʻoniʻoni, ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ʻAia naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ni, pea ʻe ʻi ai.”
9And when those living creatures gave glory, and honour, and benediction to him that sitteth on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever;
9Pea ʻi he ʻatu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa moʻui ko ia ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kiate ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻaia ʻoku moʻui lauikuonga pea taʻengata,
10The four and twenty ancients fell down before him that sitteth on the throne, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
10Naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻae mātuʻa e toko uofulu ma toko fā ʻi he ʻao ʻo ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻonau hū kiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata, pea naʻa nau lī honau ngaahi pale ʻi he muʻa nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, mo nau pehē,
11Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory, and honour, and power: because thou hast created all things; and for thy will they were, and have been created.
11“ʻOku taau mo koe, ʻE ʻEiki, Ke ke maʻu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ongoongolelei mo e māfimafi: He kuo ke fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, Pea naʻe ngaohi ia pea ʻoku kei ai ni, ʻi hoʻo finangalo pe koe ki ai.”
