Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko e tala mamafa ʻoku kau ki Papilone, ʻaia naʻe mamata ki ai ʻe ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
1The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2MOU fokotuʻu ʻae fuka ʻi he moʻunga māʻolunga, hiki hake ʻae leʻo kiate kinautolu, taʻalo ʻaki ʻae nima, ke nau hū ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻoe houʻeiki.
2Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3Kuo u fekau ki heʻeku kau māʻoniʻoni, kuo u ui foki ʻeku kau mālohi koeʻuhi ko hoku houhau, ʻio, ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiefia heʻeku māfimafi.
3I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
4Ko e longoaʻa ʻoe tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e kakai lahi; ko e longoaʻa lahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻio, ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kuo tānaki fakataha: he ʻoku fakataha ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi kautau ʻo ʻene kongakau ki he tau.
4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5ʻOku nau haʻu mei he fonua mamaʻo, mei he ngataʻanga ʻoe langi, ʻio, ko Sihova, mo e mahafu ʻo hono houhau, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fonua kotoa pē.
5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD , and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
6¶ Mou tangilāulau ʻakimoutolu; he ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova; ʻe haʻu ia ʻo hangē ko e fakaʻauha mei he Māfimafi.
6¶ Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7Ko ia ʻe vaivai ai ʻae nima kotoa pē, pea ʻe molū mo e loto ʻoe tangata kotoa pē:
7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
8Pea te nau manavahē: ʻe puke ʻakinautolu ʻe he mamahi mo e ongosia; te nau langa ʻo hangē ko e fefine ʻoku fāʻele: te nau feʻofaʻaki; ʻe tatau honau mata mo e ulo ʻoe afi.
8And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova, ʻoku mamafa ʻi he tuʻutāmaki pea mo e houhau lahi, ke fakaʻauha ʻae fonua: pea te ne tāmateʻi ʻae kakai angahala mei ai.
9Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10He ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻoe langi mo e ngaahi faʻahinga fetuʻu ʻi ai ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻomi ʻenau maama; ʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae laʻā ʻi heʻene hopo hake, pea ʻe ʻikai ulo atu ʻae maama ʻoe māhina.
10For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11Pea te u tautea ʻa māmani koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hia, pea mo e kakai angakovi koeʻuhi ko ʻenau angahala; pea te u pule ke ngata ʻae fielahi ʻoe laukau, pea te u lī ki lalo ʻae fieʻeiki ʻoe kakai fakamana.
11And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12Te u ngaohi ke mahuʻinga hake ʻae tangata ʻi he koula lelei; ʻio, ʻe mahuʻinga hake ʻae tangata ʻi he koula lelei ʻo ʻOfeli.
12I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13Ko ia te u lulululu ai ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻe hiki mo māmani mei hono potu, ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau vela.
13Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
14Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻanitelope kuo tulia, pea hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoka ʻikai ha tangata ke tānaki fakataha: ʻe tafoki taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono kakai, pea hola taki taha ki hono fonua.
14And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
15Ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku moʻua ʻe hokaʻi ke ʻasi; pea ʻe tō ʻi he heletā ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kau mo kinautolu.
15Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
16ʻE laiki ʻenau fānau ʻi honau ʻao; ʻe vete ʻa honau ngaahi fale, pea ʻe tohotoho ʻa honau ngaahi uaifi.
16Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17Vakai, te u hiki hake ʻae kakai ʻo Mitia ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻe ʻikai te nau tokanga ki he siliva; pea ko e koula, ʻe ʻikai te nau manako ki ai.
17Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18ʻE laikina ʻae kau talavou ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi kaufana; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau ʻofa ki he fua ʻoe manāva; pea ʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻe honau mata ʻae fānau tupu.
18Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19¶ Pea ko Papilone, ko e lelei lahi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, ko e toulekeleka ʻoe laukau ʻae kakai ʻo Kalitia, ʻe tatau ia mo e fakaʻauha ʻa Sotoma mo Komola ʻe he ʻOtua.
19¶ And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito toe kakai ia, ʻe ʻikai nofo ʻi ai ha kakai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata: pea ʻe ʻikai fokotuʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻAlepea ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻi ai; pea ʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻi ai ʻe he kau tauhi sipi hanau lotoʻā.
20It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21Ka e tokoto ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi manu kaivao ʻoe potu lala; pea ʻe fonu honau ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi manu fakalielia; pea ʻe nofo ai ʻae ngaahi lulu, pea ʻe meʻe ai ʻae faʻahi kehe ʻoe vao.
21But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22Pea ʻe tangi ʻi honau ngaahi fale liʻaki ʻae fanga manu kaivao ʻoe ʻotu motu, pea mo e ngaahi talākoni ʻi honau ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki: pea kuo ofi ʻae hokosia ʻa hono kuonga, pea ʻe ʻikai fakalōloa hono ngaahi ʻaho.
22And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
