Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals.
1Pea ne u mamata ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ia naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae tohi kuo tohi ʻi loto mo tuʻa, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe fitu.
2And I saw a strong angel, proclaiming with a loud voice: Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
2Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo mālohi, ʻoku kalanga ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Ko hai ʻoku taau ke toʻo ʻae tohi, mo vete hono ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻu ʻo ia?”
3And no man was able, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, to open the book, nor to look on it.
3Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he langi, pe ʻi māmani, pe ʻi lalo ʻi māmani, ʻoku faʻa fai ke toʻo ʻae tohi, pe ke mamata ki ai.
4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open the book, nor to see it.
4Pea ne u tangi lahi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ha taha ʻoku taau ke ne toʻo mo lau ʻae tohi, pe ke mamata ki ai.
5And one of the ancients said to me: Weep not; behold the lion of the tribe of Juda, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
5Pea pehē ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoe kau mātuʻa kiate au, “ʻOua ʻe tangi: vakai, ko e Laione ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, ko e Aka ʻo Tevita, kuo ne lavaʻi ke ne toʻo ʻae tohi, pea ke vete ʻa hono meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe fitu.”
6And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the ancients, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes: which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
6Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki mo e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, pea ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe kau mātuʻa, naʻe tuaʻā e Lami ʻo hangē kuo tāmateʻi, kuo fitu ʻae nifo ʻi hono ʻulu, mo e mata ʻe fitu, ʻaia ko e Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku fekau atu ki māmani kotoa pē.
7And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne.
7Pea naʻe haʻu ia, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae tohi mei he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ia naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
8And when he had opened the book, the four living creatures, and the four and twenty ancients fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints:
8Pea ʻi heʻene toʻo ʻae tohi, naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Lami ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻe fā mo e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, naʻa nau taki taha ʻae haʻape, mo e hina koula kuo pito ʻi he meʻa namu kakala, ʻaia ko e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9And they sung a new canticle, saying: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, in thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.
9Pea naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku taau mo koe ke toʻo ʻae tohi, Pea ke vete hono ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻu ʻo ia: He naʻe tāmateʻi koe, Pea kuo ke huhuʻi ʻae kakai ʻaki ho taʻataʻa ki he ʻOtua, Mei he faʻahinga, mo e lea, mo e kakai, mo e puleʻanga kotoa pē.
10And hast made us to our God a kingdom and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.
10Pea kuo ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeiki ki homau ʻOtua: Pea te nau pule ʻi he maama.”
11And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the living creatures, and the ancients; and the number of them was thousands of thousands,
11Pea ne u vakai, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe kau ʻāngelo tokolahi naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui mo e kau mātuʻa: pea ko honau lau ko e ngaahi toko mano lauʻi ngaahi mano, mo e ngaahi toko afe lauʻi ngaahi toko afe;
12Saying with a loud voice: The Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, and divinity, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and benediction.
12ʻOku nau pehē, ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “ʻOku taau mo e Lami naʻe tāmateʻi Ke tuku kiate ia ʻae māfimafi, mo e koloa, mo e poto, Mo e mālohi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e fakafetaʻi.”
13And every creature, which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them: I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, benediction, and honour, and glory, and power, for ever and ever.
13Pea ne u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi, pea ʻi he māmani, pea ʻi lalo ʻi māmani, pea mo ia ʻoku ʻi he tahi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻiate ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ki he Lami, ʻae fakafetaʻi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e māfimafi, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.”
14And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces, and adored him that liveth for ever and ever.
14Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, “ʻEmeni.” Pea naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻae mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, ʻo hū kiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
