Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1He ʻoku ou pehē, Kuo siʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai? ʻIkai ʻaupito. He ko e ʻIsileli foki au, mei he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
2God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
2Kuo ʻikai siʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai naʻa ne muʻaki ʻilo. ʻIkai te mou ʻilo ʻae lea ʻae tohi kia ʻIlaisiā? ʻA ʻene hanu ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē,
3Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
3“ʻEiki, kuo nau tāmateʻi hoʻo kau palōfita, pea nau holoki hifo ʻa ho ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau; pea ʻoku ou toe tokotaha pē, pea ʻoku nau kumi ki heʻeku moʻui.”
4But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
4Ka ko e hā ʻae folofola naʻe tali ʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua? “Kuo u fakatoe kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu afe, kuo ʻikai te nau tuʻulutui kia Peali.”
5Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
5Pea ko eni, ʻoku pehē foki ʻi he kuonga ni, ʻoku ai ʻae toenga ʻo fakatatau ki he fili ʻi he ʻofa.
6And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
6Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he ʻofa, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻi he ngaahi ngāue: ka ʻikai, pea ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻofa ʻae ʻofa. Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ia, pehē, ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻi he ʻofa ia: ka ʻikai, tā ʻoku ʻikai kei ko e ngāue ʻae ngāue.
7What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
7Ka ko ia pea hā? Kuo ʻikai lavaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaia ne ne kumi ki ai; ka kuo lavaʻi ia ʻe he kakai kuo fili, pea ko hono toe kuo fakafefeka,
8As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
8(ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae laumālie tulemohe, ko e mata kae ʻikai te nau mamata, mo e telinga kae ʻikai te nau fanongo;) ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
9And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.
9Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele, mo e tauhele, mo e tūkiaʻanga, mo e totongi kiate kinautolu:
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
10Tuku ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata, pea mapelu maʻuaipē honau tuʻa.”
11I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
11Pea ʻoku ou pehē, Kuo nau tūkia ke nau mātuʻaki hinga? ʻIkai ʻaupito: ka ʻi heʻenau fai hala kuo hoko ʻae fakamoʻui ki he kakai Senitaile, ke ueʻi ʻakinautolu ki he fuaʻa.
12Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
12Pea ko eni, kapau ko ʻenau fai hala ko e fakakoloaʻia ia ʻo māmani, pea ko honau fakamasivaʻi ko e koloaʻia ʻoe kakai Senitaile; pea ʻe fēfeeʻi ai ʻoka nau ka mahu?
13For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
13He ʻoku ou lea kiate kimoutolu ʻae kakai Senitaile, he ko e ʻaposetolo au ʻoe kakai Senitaile, pea ʻoku ou fakaongolelei ʻa ʻeku ngāue:
14If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14ʻO kapau te u mafai ʻi ha meʻa ke ueʻi ke fuaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻo hoku kakano, pea u fakamoʻui honau niʻihi.
15For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
15He kapau ko honau siʻaki, ko e fakalelei ia ʻo māmani, pea ko e hā honau toe maʻu mai, ka ko e moʻui mei he mate?
16For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
16He kapau ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻuluaki fua, ʻoku pehē foki mo hono kotoa: pea kapau ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae tefito, ʻoku pehē mo e ngaahi vaʻa.
17And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
17Pea kapau ne motuhi ʻae vaʻa niʻihi, pea kuo fakahoko koe kiate kinautolu, ka ko e ʻolive vao pē koe, pea ke maʻu ʻe koe fakataha mo kinautolu hono tefito mo hono huhuʻa ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive;
18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18ʻOua naʻa ke polepole ki he ngaahi vaʻa. Pea neongo hoʻo polepole, ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻui ʻae tefito ʻiate koe, ka ko koe ʻi he tefito.
19Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
19Pea te ke pehē nai, “Ne motuhi ʻae ngaahi vaʻa, koeʻuhi kae fakahoko au.”
20Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
20Ko e moʻoni; ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui naʻe motuhi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku ke tuʻu koe ʻi he tui. ʻOua naʻa ke loto lahi, ka ke manavahē:
21For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
21He kapau naʻe ʻikai mamae ʻae ʻOtua ki he ngaahi vaʻa totonu, vakai naʻa ʻikai te ne mamae kiate koe.
22See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22Ko ia vakai ki he angalelei mo e houhau ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e houhau kiate kinautolu naʻe hinga; ka ko e angalelei kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi he angalelei: ka ʻikai, pea ʻe motuhi ai foki mo koe.
23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
23Pea ko kinautolu foki ʻe fakahoko, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau nofomaʻu ʻi he taʻetui, he ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke toe fakahoko ʻakinautolu.
24For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24He kapau naʻe tutuʻu koe mei he ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻaia ko hono anga ke tupu vao pē, pea fakahoko koe ki he ʻolive lelei kae ʻikai tatau mo hono anga: ʻe ʻikai faingofua hake ʻae fakahoko ʻoe ʻngaahi vaʻa moʻoni ki honau ʻolive ʻonautolu?
25For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
25He ʻoku ʻikai te u loto, ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo ʻae meʻa lilo ni, telia naʻa mou fielahi ʻiate kimoutolu; kuo fakakui ʻae niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke hokosia hono fakakātoa mai ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
26And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻE haʻu mei Saione ʻae Fakamoʻui, pea ʻe fakafoki ʻe ia ʻae angahala meia Sēkope:
27And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
27He ko ʻeku fuakava eni mo kinautolu, ʻo kau ka ʻave ʻenau ngaahi angahala.”
28As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
28Ko e ngaahi fili ʻakinautolu ki he ongoongolelei, kae ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he fili, kuo ʻofeina ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai.
29For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
29He ko e ngaahi foaki mo e ui ʻae ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakatomala ki ai.
30For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
30He ʻoku hangē ko kimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he ʻOtua, ka ko eni kuo mou maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau talangataʻa:
31So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
31ʻOku pehē foki, ʻoku ʻikai eni ke talangofua ʻakinautolu ni, ka, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, te nau lavaʻi foki ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
32For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
32He kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ke moʻua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki he talangataʻa, koeʻuhi ka ne ʻaloʻofa ki ai kotoa pē.
33O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
33ʻOiauē! Hono loloto ʻoe koloaʻia ʻae poto mo e ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua! ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻeke ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea taʻefaʻaʻiloa mo hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga!
34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
34“He ko hai kuo ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki? Pe ko hai kuo akonakiʻi kiate ia?
35Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
35Pea ko hai ne tomuʻa foaki kiate ia, pea ʻe toe totongi ia kiate ia?
36For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
36He ʻoku tupunga meiate ia, pea ʻoku maʻu pē ʻiate ia, pea ʻe iku kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: ʻaia ke ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
