Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻE malaʻia ʻae fānau talangataʻa, ʻaia ʻoku fakakaukau kae ʻikai ʻiate au; pea ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻufiʻufi; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoku laumālie, koeʻuhi ke nau fakalahi ʻae angahala ki he angahala
1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD , that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2ʻOku nau fononga ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite ke fakamālohi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi ʻo Felo, pea ke faʻaki ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fehuʻi ki hoku fofonga!
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻae mālohi ʻo Felo ko homou manga, pea ko e falala ki he malu ʻo ʻIsipite ko homou maveuveu.
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4He ko hono ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻi Soani, pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau talafekau ki Hanesi.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5Naʻa nau mā kotoa pē ʻi he kakai naʻe taʻeʻaonga kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokoni pe ko e ʻaonga, ka ko e fakamā pea mo e ongokovi.
5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
6Ko e kavenga ʻoe ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻave ki he potu tonga: ki he fonua ʻoe mamahi mo e ongosia, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae laione mui mo e laione motuʻa, ʻae ngata fekai pea mo e ngata afi ʻoku puna, te nau fua ʻenau koloa ʻi he uma ʻoe fanga ʻasi mui, mo ʻenau ngaahi meʻa ʻi he hula ʻoe fanga kāmeli, ki ha kakai ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu.
6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them .
7He ko e meʻa vaʻinga pea taʻeʻaonga, ʻae tokoni mei he kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, ko ia kuo u kalanga ʻi he meʻa ni, Ko honau mālohi ke nofo pe.
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8¶ Te ke ʻalu ni ʻo tohi ia ʻi honau ʻao ʻi he palepale, pea tohi ia ʻi ha tohi koeʻuhi ko e kuonga ki mui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
8¶ Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9ʻO pehē, ko e kakai angatuʻu eni, ko e fānau loi, ko e fānau ʻoku ʻikai fie fanongo ki he fono ʻa Sihova:
9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD :
10ʻOku nau pehē ki he kau kikite, ʻoua naʻa mamata, pea ki he kau palōfita, ʻoua ʻe fakahā kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa totonu; lea ʻaki kiate kimautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa mālie, kikite ʻaki ʻae ngaahi kākā:
10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11Tuʻu ki he ʻatā mei he hala, afe atu mei he hala, tuku ke mole ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli, Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fehiʻa ki he folofola ni, pea falala ki he fakamālohi mo e mioʻi, mo faʻaki ki ai:
12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13Ko ia ʻe hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae hia ni ʻo hangē ʻae foaʻi ha ʻā maka ʻoku teitei hinga, ʻo hangē ko ha mafahi ʻi ha ʻā māʻolunga ʻoku hoko hono maumau fakafokifā ʻi ha kemo pe taha.
13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14Pea te ne maumau ia ʻo hangē ko e maumau ʻae ipu ʻoe tufunga ngaohi ipu ʻaia kuo foaʻi ʻo lailai; ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi: ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi hono pā ʻo ia ha konga ke vela ʻi he veʻe afi, pe ʻutu ʻaki ha vai mei he luo.
14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
15He ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sihova, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻI he tafoki mo e nofo pe te mou moʻui ai; ʻi he angavaivai mo e tui ʻe ai homou mālohi: ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki ai.
15For thus saith the Lord GOD , the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16Ka naʻa mou pehē, “ʻE ʻikai; ka te mau hola ʻi he fanga hoosi; ko ia te mou hola:” pea, “Te mau heka ʻi he veʻe vave; ko ia ʻe veʻe vave foki mo kinautolu ʻoku tuli ʻakimoutolu.”
16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17ʻE hola ʻae toko taha afe ʻi he valoki ʻo ha tokotaha; ʻi he valoki ʻoe toko nima te mou hola ai: kaeʻoua ke tuku ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko ha ʻakau fakaʻilonga ʻi he tumutumu ʻo ha moʻunga, pea hangē ko ha fuka ʻi he tafungofunga.
17One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
18¶ Pea ko ia ʻe tatali ai ʻa Sihova, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, pea ko ia ʻe fakahikihikiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu: he ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe fakamaau: ʻoku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tatali kiate ia.
18¶ And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Saione ʻi Selūsalema: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe tangi: te ne fai lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo tangi; ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, te ne talia koe.
19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
20Pea neongo ʻae ʻatu kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻae mā ʻoe ongosia, pea mo e vai ʻoe mamahi, ka e ʻikai toe ʻave hoʻo kau akonaki ki ha tuliki, ka e mamata ʻe ho mata ki hoʻo kau akonaki.
20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21Pea ka ke ka afe ki he toʻomataʻu, pea ʻi hoʻo afe ki he toʻohema, ʻe fanongo ʻe ho telinga ki ha lea mei ho tuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻae hala, ke ke ʻalu ʻi ai.”
21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
22Te mou fakalieliaʻi foki ʻae ʻufiʻufi ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua siliva kuo tongitongi, pea mo e teunga ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamapua koula kuo haka: te ke liʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko ha kofu fakalielia; te ke pehē ki ai, “ʻAlu koe ʻi heni.”
22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
23Pea te ne toki foaki ʻae ʻuha ki hoʻo ngaahi tenga, koeʻuhi ke ke tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele; mo e mā ko e fua ʻoe kelekele, pea ʻe lahi ia pea mahu: pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻe kai ʻe ho fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻataʻatā.
23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24Pea ko e fanga pulu mo e fanga ʻasi mui ʻoku fakamolū ʻae kelekele, te nau kai ʻae meʻakai lelei, ʻaia kuo fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻae fohe mo e lī.
24The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he ngaahi tafungofunga māʻolunga kotoa pē, ʻae ngaahi vai mo e vaitafe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tāmateʻi lahi, ʻoka hinga ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga.
25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26Pea ʻe tatau ʻae maama ʻoe māhina mo e maama ʻoe laʻā, pea ʻe liunga fitu hono lahi hake ʻoe maama ʻoe laʻā, ʻo hangē ko e maama ʻoe ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoku nonoʻo ai ʻe Sihova ʻae lavea ʻo hono kakai, pea fakamoʻui ʻae volu ʻo honau teʻia.
26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27¶ Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae huafa ʻo Sihova mei he mamaʻo, ʻoku vela ʻi hono houhau, pea ʻoku mamafa ʻae kavenga ʻo ia: ʻoku fonu hono muʻa fofonga ʻi he houhau, pea hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha hono ʻelelo.
27¶ Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
28Pea ko ʻene mānava, ʻoku hangē ko e vaitafe ʻoku lōfia, ʻe hake ia ʻo aʻu ki he kia, ke lī ki ʻolunga ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻaki ʻae fohe ʻoe malaʻia: pea ʻe ai ha meʻa taʻofi ʻi he ngao ʻoe kakai, ke fakahalaʻi ʻakinautolu.
28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
29Te mou fai ha hiva, ʻo hangē ko e pō ʻoka fai ai ʻae fakataha māʻoniʻoni; pea maʻu mo e fiefia ʻoe loto, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku ʻalu mo e meʻa ifi ke haʻu ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova, ki he Toko Taha Māfimafi ʻo ʻIsileli.
29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD , to the mighty One of Israel.
30Pea ʻe fakaongo atu ʻe Sihova hono leʻo mālohi, pea ʻe fakahā ʻae tuku hifo ʻa hono nima, ʻaki ʻae māsila ʻo hono houhau, pea mo e ulo ʻoe afi fakaʻauha, ʻaki ʻae veteki, mo e afā, mo e ʻuha maka.
30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31Ko e leʻo ʻo Sihova ʻe tā hifo ai ʻae kakai ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻaia naʻe tā ʻaki honau tokotoko.
31For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻe ʻi ai ʻae meʻa tā ʻoe tautea, ʻaia ʻe ai mamafa ʻe Sihova kiate ia: ʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi lali iiki mo e haʻape: pea ʻi he ngaahi tau fakamanavahē te ne tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
33He kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ʻa Tofeti; ʻio, kuo teuteu ia maʻa e tuʻi; kuo ne ngaohi ia ke loloto pea laulahi: ko e fokotuʻunga ia ʻoe afi mo e fefie lahi: ʻoku tutu ia ʻe he mānava ʻa Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e sulifa ʻoku tafe.
33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD , like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
