Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1[Consolamini, consolamini, popule meus, dicit Deus vester.
1ʻOku pehē ʻe homou ʻOtua, “Mou fakafiemālieʻi, mou fakafiemālieʻi ʻa hoku kakai.
2Loquimini ad cor Jerusalem, et advocate eam, quoniam completa est malitia ejus, dimissa est iniquitas illius: suscepit de manu Domini duplicia pro omnibus peccatis suis.
2“Lea fakafiemālie ki Selūsalema, pea kalanga kiate ia, kuo ngata ʻene tau, kuo fakamolemole ʻene hia: he kuo fai ʻae totongi ke liunga ua kiate ia mei he nima ʻo Sihova ʻi heʻene hia kotoa pē.”
3Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini, rectas facite in solitudine semitas Dei nostri.
3¶ Ko e leʻo ʻo ia ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, “Teuteu ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, fakatonutonu ʻae hala lahi ʻi he toafa maʻa hotau ʻOtua.”
4Omnis vallis exaltabitur, et omnis mons et collis humiliabitur, et erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas:
4ʻE hakeakiʻi ʻae ngaahi luo kotoa pē, pea ʻe holoki ʻae ngaahi moʻunga meʻe tafungofunga kotoa pē: pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻae pikopiko, pea ʻe fakatokalelei ʻae ngaahi potu ʻoku tokakovi:
5et revelabitur gloria Domini, et videbit omnis caro pariter quod os Domini locutum est.
5Pea ʻe fakahā ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova, pea ʻe mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē: he kuo folofola pehē ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova.”
6Vox dicentis: Clama. Et dixi: Quid clamabo? Omnis caro fœnum, et omnis gloria ejus quasi flos agri.
6Naʻe pehē ʻe he leʻo, “Kalanga.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ko e hā te u kalanga ʻaki?” “Ko e mohuku ʻae kakano kotoa pē, pea ko e nāunau kotoa pē ʻo ia ʻoku tatau mo e fisi ʻoe ngoue.
7Exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos, quia spiritus Domini sufflavit in eo. Vere fœnum est populus:
7ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae mohuku, ʻoku mae ʻae fisiʻiʻakau: koeʻuhi ʻoku angi ki ai ʻae matangi ʻa Sihova: tā ko e moʻoni ko e mohuku ʻae kakai.
8exsiccatum est fœnum, et cecidit flos; verbum autem Domini nostri manet in æternum.
8ʻOku fakaʻaʻau ke mōmoa ʻae mohuku, ʻoku mae ʻae fisiʻiʻakau: ka e tolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻae folofola ʻa hotau ʻOtua.”
9Super montem excelsum ascende, tu qui evangelizas Sion; exalta in fortitudine vocem tuam, qui evangelizas Jerusalem: exalta, noli timere. Dic civitatibus Juda: Ecce Deus vester:
9¶ ʻA koe, ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei ki Saione, ʻalu hake koe ki he moʻunga māʻolunga; ʻa koe, ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei ki Selūsalema, hiki hake ho leʻo ʻi he mālohi; hiki hake ia ʻoua ʻe manavahē; ke ke pehē ki he ngaahi kolo ʻo Siuta, “Vakai ki homou ʻOtua!”
10ecce Dominus Deus in fortitudine veniet, et brachium ejus dominabitur: ecce merces ejus cum eo, et opus illius coram illo.
10Vakai, ʻe hāʻele mai ʻae ʻEiki ko Sihova ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻe pule hono nima moʻona: vakai, ʻoku ʻiate ia hono totongi, pea ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻa ʻene ngāue.
11Sicut pastor gregem suum pascet, in brachio suo congregabit agnos, et in sinu suo levabit; fœtas ipse portabit.
11Te ne fafanga ʻene fanga sipi ʻo hangē ko e tauhi: te ne tānaki ʻae fanga lami ʻaki hono nima, pea fua ʻakinautolu ʻi hono fatafata, pea tataki fakafiemālie ʻakinautolu ʻoku feitama.
12Quis mensus est pugillo aquas, et cælos palmo ponderavit? quis appendit tribus digitis molem terræ, et liberavit in pondere montes, et colles in statera?
12Ko hai kuo ne fua ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi hono ʻaofi nima, pea fuofua ʻae langi ʻaki ʻae hanga, pea fakakātoa ʻae efuefu ʻoe fonua ʻi he meʻa fuofua, pea kuo fakamamafa ʻae ngaahi moʻunga ʻi he meʻa fakamamafa, pea mo e ngaahi tafungofunga ʻi he meʻa fakatatau?
13Quis adjuvit spiritum Domini? aut quis consiliarius ejus fuit, et ostendit illi?
13Ko hai kuo ne fakahinohino ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, pea hoko ko ʻene akonaki ke fakahinohino ia?
14cum quo iniit consilium, et instruxit eum, et docuit eum semitam justitiæ, et erudivit eum scientiam, et viam prudentiæ ostendit illi?
14Ko hai naʻa na fakakaukau mo ia, koeʻuhi ke ne fakapotoʻi ia, pe ako kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoe fakamaau, pe ko hai naʻa ne akonakiʻi ia ʻi he ʻilo, pea fakahā kiate ia ʻae hala ʻoe ʻiloʻilo?
15Ecce gentes quasi stilla situlæ, et quasi momentum stateræ reputatæ sunt; ecce insulæ quasi pulvis exiguus.
15Vakai, ʻoku tatau ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mo e tulutā ʻoe ipu vai, pea ʻoku lau ia ʻo hangē ko e efuefu iiki ʻoe meʻa fakatatau: vakai, ʻoku ne toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi motu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa siʻi ʻaupito.
16Et Libanus non sufficiet ad succendendum, et animalia ejus non sufficient ad holocaustum.
16Pea ʻoku siʻi ʻa Lepanoni ke tutu, pea ʻoku siʻi ʻae fanga manu ʻi ai ki ha feilaulau tutu.
17Omnes gentes quasi non sint, sic sunt coram eo, et quasi nihilum et inane reputatæ sunt ei.]
17ʻOku hangē ko e meʻa noa pe ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi hono ʻao; pea ʻoku lau ia kiate ia ko e siʻi hifo ʻi he meʻa noa pe, mo e vaʻinga.
18[Cui ergo similem fecisti Deum? aut quam imaginem ponetis ei?
18Pea te mou fakatatau kia hai ʻae ʻOtua? Pe ko e hā ha fakatātā te mou fakatatau kiate ia?
19Numquid sculptile conflavit faber? aut aurifex auro figuravit illud, et laminis argenteis argentarius?
19ʻOku haka ʻe he tangata tufunga ha tamapua, pea ko e tufunga koula ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae kahoa fihifihi ʻaki ʻae siliva
20Forte lignum et imputribile elegit; artifex sapiens quærit quomodo statuat simulacrum, quod non moveatur.
20Ko ia ʻoku lahi ʻene masiva pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻane feilaulau, ʻoku ne fili ha ʻakau ʻe ʻikai popo; ʻoku ne kumi kiate ia ha tufunga poto ke fokotuʻu ha tamapua kuo tā ʻaia ʻe ʻikai ueʻi.
21Numquid non scitis? numquid non audistis? numquid non annuntiatum est vobis ab initio? numquid non intellexistis fundamenta terræ?
21Kuo taʻeʻilo ʻekimoutolu? Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo? ʻIkai kuo fakahā kiate kimoutolu mei he kamataʻanga? ʻIkai kuo mou ʻilo talu mei he ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani?
22Qui sedet super gyrum terræ, et habitatores ejus sunt quasi locustæ; qui extendit velut nihilum cælos, et expandit eos sicut tabernaculum ad inhabitandum;
22Ko ia ia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he takatakai ʻo māmani, pea ko e kakai ʻoku nofo ai ʻoku tatau kiate ia mo e fanga heʻe; ko ia ia ʻoku ne fofola ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo hangē ko e puipui, pea folahi ia ʻo hangē ko e fale fehikitaki ke nofo ai:
23qui dat secretorum scrutatores quasi non sint, judices terræ velut inane fecit.
23Ko ia ʻoku ne fakahifo ki lalo ʻae houʻeiki ke ʻikai; ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae kau fakamaau ʻoe fonua ko e vaʻinga.
24Et quidem neque plantatus, neque satus, neque radicatus in terra truncus eorum; repente flavit in eos, et aruerunt, et turbo quasi stipulam auferet eos.
24ʻIo, ʻe ʻikai tō ʻakinautolu; ʻio, ʻe ʻikai tūtuuʻi ʻakinautolu: ʻio, ʻe ʻikai aka ʻi he kelekele honau tefito: pea te ne ifi kiate kinautolu, pea te nau mae, pea ʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻahiohio ʻo hangē ko e veve.
25Et cui assimilastis me, et adæquastis? dicit Sanctus.
25“ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni, Pea te mou fakatatau au kia hai, pe te u tatau mo hai?
26Levate in excelsum oculos vestros, et videte quis creavit hæc: qui educit in numero militiam eorum, et omnes ex nomine vocat; præ multitudine fortitudinis et roboris, virtutisque ejus, neque unum reliquum fuit.
26Hiki hake homou mata ki ʻolunga, pea vakai pe ko hai kuo ne fakatupu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻaia ʻoku ne lau mo taki kituʻa honau tokolahi; ʻoku ne ui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi honau hingoa ʻi he lahi ʻo hono māfimafi, koeʻuhi ʻoku mālohi ia ʻi he māfimafi, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku taʻehāmai.
27Quare dicis, Jacob, et loqueris, Israël: Abscondita est via mea a Domino, et a Deo meo judicium meum transivit?
27Ko e hā ʻoku ke pehē, ʻe Sēkope, pea ke pehē, ʻE ʻIsileli, “Kuo fufū hoku hala meia Sihova, pea kuo taʻetokanga ʻa hoku ʻOtua ki hoku fakamaau?”
28Numquid nescis, aut non audisti? Deus sempiternus Dominus, qui creavit terminos terræ: non deficiet, neque laborabit, nec est investigatio sapientiæ ejus.
28¶ “ʻIkai naʻa ke ʻilo? ʻIkai naʻa ke fanongo, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua taʻengata ia, ko e Tupuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻikai pongia ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai vaivai? ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻiloʻi ʻa ʻene ʻilo.
29Qui dat lasso virtutem, et his qui non sunt, fortitudinem et robur multiplicat.
29ʻOku ne foaki ʻae mālohi ki he vaivai; pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau mālohi ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae mālohi.
30Deficient pueri, et laborabunt, et juvenes in infirmitate cadent;
30ʻIo ʻe pongia ʻae fānau tupu pea vaivai, pea ʻe hinga ʻaupito mo e kau talavou:
31qui autem sperant in Domino mutabunt fortitudinem, assument pennas sicut aquilæ: current et non laborabunt, ambulabunt et non deficient.]
31Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova ʻe fakafoʻou honau mālohi; te nau puna hake ʻaki ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻikale; te nau lele ka e ʻikai vaivai; pea te nau ʻeveʻeva, kā ʻe ʻikai pongia.”
