Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
1ʻE Kāinga, ko e holi ʻa hoku loto, mo ʻeku lotu ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
2He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fai feinga ki he ʻOtua, ka ʻoku ʻikai taau mo e poto.
3For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
3He ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ki he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻa nau ʻalu fano ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻanautolu, kuo ʻikai ai ke fakavaivai ʻakinautolu ki he fakatonuhia mei he ʻOtua.
4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
4He ko e fakahaohaoa ʻoe fono ʻa Kalaisi ki he fakatonuhia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui.
5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
5He ʻoku fakahā ʻe Mōsese ʻae fakatonuhia ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fono, “Ko e tangata ʻoku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻe moʻui ai ia.”
6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above :)
6Ka ko e fakatonuhia ʻoku ʻi he tui ʻoku lea ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Ko hai te ne ʻalu hake ki he langi?” (Ko e pehē, ke ʻohifo ʻa Kalaisi:)
7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
7pe, “Ko hai te ne ʻalu hifo ki he loloto?” (Ko e pehē, ke ʻohake ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate.)
8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
8Ka ʻoku pehē ia ko e hā? “ʻOku ofi ʻae lea kiate koe, ʻi ho ngutu, pea ʻi ho loto:” ʻaia ko e lea ʻoe tui, ʻoku mau malangaʻaki;
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
9Koeʻuhi kapau te ke fakahā ʻaki ho ngutu ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu, pea ke tui ʻi ho loto kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate, ʻe fakamoʻui koe.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
10He ʻoku tui ʻae tangata ʻaki ʻae loto ki he fakatonuhia; pea ʻoku fakahā ʻaki ʻae ngutu ʻae fakamoʻui.
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
11He ʻoku pehē ʻae tohi, “Ko ia ia ʻe tui kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai mā ia.”
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
12He ʻoku ʻikai ha fai kehekehe ki he Siu mo e Kiliki: he ko e ʻEiki pe ko ia ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻoku mohu angalelei ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ui kiate ia.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
13“He ko ia ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
14Kae fēfē ʻenau ui kiate ia naʻe ʻikai te nau tui ki ai? Pea fēfē ʻenau tui kiate ia naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ki ai? Pea fēfē ʻenau fanongo taʻehataha ʻe malanga?
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
15Pea fēfē ʻenau malanga, ʻoka ʻikai fekau atu ʻakinautolu? ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Hono ʻikai fakaʻofoʻofa ʻae vaʻe ʻokinautolu ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe melino, pea ʻomi ʻae ongoongo fiefia ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lelei!”
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
16Ka kuo ʻikai te nau talangofua kotoa pē ki he ongoongolelei. He ʻoku pehē ʻe ʻIsaia, “ʻEiki, Ko hai kuo tui ki heʻemau ongoongoa?”
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
17Ko ia, ʻoku mei he fanongo ʻae tui, mo e fanongo mei he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
18Ka ʻoku ou pehē, “ʻIkai kuo nau fanongo? ʻIo ko e moʻoni kuo aʻu atu ʻenau fakaongo ki he fonua kotoa pē, pea mo e nau lea ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
19Ka ʻoku ou pehē, ʻIkai naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻIsileli? He ʻoku fuofua lea ʻa Mōsese, “Te u fakafuaʻa ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kakai, pea te u fakaʻitaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae puleʻanga vale.”
20But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
20Ka ʻoku lea mālohi lahi ʻa ʻIsaia ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻiloʻi au ʻekinautolu naʻe ʻikai kumi kiate au; kuo fakahā au kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fehuʻi kiate au.”
21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
21Ka ʻoku pehē ʻene lea ki ʻIsileli, “Ko e ʻaho kātoa kuo u mafao atu hoku nima ki he kakai talangataʻa mo angatuʻu.”
