Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven upon the earth, and there was given to him the key of the bottomless pit.
1Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono nima ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u mamata naʻe tō ʻae fetuʻu mei he langi ki he fonua; pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae kī ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele.
2And he opened the bottomless pit: and the smoke of the pit arose, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.
2Pea naʻe fakaava ʻe ia ʻae luo taʻehanotakele; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei he luo, ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻoe fuʻu luo afi; pea ko e meʻa ʻi he kohu ʻoe luo, naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā mo e ʻatā.
3And from the smoke of the pit there came out locusts upon the earth. And power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power:
3Pea naʻe haʻu mei he kohu ʻae fanga heʻe ki he fonua: pea naʻe ʻatu ki ai ʻae mālohi, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi ʻoe fanga sikopio ʻoe fonua.
4And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads.
4Pea naʻe fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau maumau ʻae mohuku ʻoe fonua, pe ha meʻa mata ʻe taha, pe ha ʻakau; ka ko e kau tangata pe ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi honau foʻi laʻē ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻae ʻOtua.
5And it was given unto them that they should not kill them; but that they should torment them five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
5Pea naʻe tuku kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, ka ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he māhina ʻe nima: pea ko ʻenau mamahi naʻe tatau mo e mamahi ʻoe tangata kuo taaʻi ʻe he sikopio.
6And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
6Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻe kumi ʻae kakai ki he mate, ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea te nau holi ke mate, ka ʻe puna ʻae mate meiate kinautolu.
7And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle: and on their heads were, as it were, crowns like gold: and their faces were as the faces of men.
7Pea ko e sino ʻoe fanga heʻe naʻe tatau mo e fanga hoosi kuo teuteu ki he tau; pea naʻe ʻi honau ʻulu ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi pale koula, pea ko honau mata naʻe tatau mo e mata ʻoe tangata.
8And they had hair as the hair of women; and their teeth were as lions:
8Pea naʻa nau louʻulu ʻo hangē ko e louʻulu ʻoe kau fefine, pea ko honau kau nifo naʻe hangē ko e nifo ʻoe fanga laione.
9And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was as the noise of chariots and many horses running to battle.
9Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi sifa fatafata, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi sifa fatafata ukamea; pea ko e patū ʻo honau kapakau naʻe tatau mo e longoaʻa. ʻOe ngaahi saliote, mo e fanga hoosi lahi ʻoku feleleʻi ki he tau.
10And they had tails like to scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had over them
10Pea naʻe ai honau ngaahi iku ʻo hangē ko e fanga sikopio, pea naʻe ʻi honau ngaahi iku ʻae ngaahi huhu: pea naʻa nau mālohi ke tautea ʻae kakai ʻi he māhina ʻe nima.
11A king, the angel of the bottomless pit; whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon; in Latin Exterminans,
11Pea naʻe ai ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe luo taʻehanotakele, ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko ʻApatoni, ka ko hono hingoa ʻi he lea fakaKiliki ko ʻApolione.
12One woe is past, and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.
12Kuo hili ange ʻae malaʻia ʻe taha; vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻamui ʻae malaʻia kehe ʻe ua,
13And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the great altar, which is before the eyes of God,
13Pea naʻe ifi ʻe hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo mei he nifo ʻe fā ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau koula ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua,
14Saying to the sixth angel, who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels, who are bound in the great river Euphrates.
14ʻOku pehē ki hono ono ʻoe ʻāngelo, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa lea, “Vevete ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻi he vaitafe lahi ko ʻIufaleti.”
15And the four angels were loosed, who were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year: for to kill the third part of men.
15Pea naʻe vete ange ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻe toko fā, ʻakinautolu naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ki ha feituʻulaʻā, pea ki ha ʻaho, pea ki ha māhina, pea ki ha taʻu, koeʻuhi ke tāmateʻi ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai.
16And the number of the army of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them.
16Pea ko hono lau ʻoe tau, ko e kau tangata heka hoosi ko e toko uangeau miliona: pea ne u fanongo ki honau lau.
17And thus I saw the horses in the vision: and they that sat on them, had breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone, and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions: and from their mouths proceeded fire, and smoke, and brimstone.
17Pea naʻe pehē pē ʻa ʻeku mamata ki he fanga hoosi, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, mo kinautolu naʻe heka ai, ko honau sifa fatafata naʻe lanu ki he afi, mo e lanu moana, mo e felofelo: pea ko e ʻulu ʻoe fanga hoosi naʻe tatau mo e ʻulu ʻoe fanga laione; pea naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa.
18And by these three plagues was slain the third part of men, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
18Ko e meʻa ko eni ʻe tolu naʻe tāmate ʻaki ʻa hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe kakai, ʻae afi, mo e ʻohuafi, mo e sulifa, ʻaia naʻe ʻoho mei honau ngutu.
19For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For, their tails are like to serpents, and have heads: and with them they hurt.
19He ko honau mālohi ʻoku ʻi honau ngutu, mo honau iku: he naʻe tatau honau iku mo e fanga ngata, pea naʻe fakaʻulu, pea ko ia ʻoku nau fai ʻaki ʻae maumau.
20And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
20Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakamamahi ni, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakatomala ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa honau nima, ke ʻoua te nau hū ki he kau tēvolo, mo e ngaahi tamapua koula, mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e maka, mo e ʻakau: ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mamata, pe fanongo, pe ʻaʻeva:
21Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
21Pea naʻe ʻikai tenau fakatomala ʻi he ʻenau ngaahi fakapō, mo ʻenau ngaahi fie mana, mo ʻenau feʻauaki, mo ʻenau faʻa kaihaʻa.
