Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ʻi he moʻunga ko Sainai, ʻo pehē,
1And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, mo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mou ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku ou foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻe toki fai ai ʻe he fonua ʻae Sāpate kia Sihova.
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD .
3Ko e taʻu ʻe ono ke ke tō ai hoʻo ngoue, mo e taʻu ʻe ono ke ke ʻauhani hoʻo ngoue vaine, ʻo tānaki hono fua;
3Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4Ka ko hono fitu ʻoe taʻu ko e Sāpate ia ke mālōlō ai ʻae fonua, ko e Sāpate ia kia Sihova: ʻoua naʻa ke tō ai hoʻo ngoue, pe ʻauhani hoʻo ngoue vaine.
4But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD : thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
5Ko ia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo hoʻo taʻu ʻoua naʻa ke tuʻusi, pe toli ʻae ngaahi kālepi ʻoe vaine taʻeʻauhani he ko e taʻu mālōlō ia ki ho fonua.
5That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
6Pea ko e Sāpate ʻoe fonua ko e meʻakai ia maʻamoutolu; kiate koe, pea ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki hoʻo kaunanga, pea ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki unga ngāue, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo kiate koe,
6And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
7Pea ki hoʻo fanga manu lahi, pea ki hoʻo fanga manu ʻi ho fonua kotoa pē, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tupu ko e meʻakai ia kiate kinautolu.
7And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
8¶ Pea ke lau kiate koe ʻae Sāpate ʻe fitu ʻoe ngaahi taʻu; ko e taʻu ʻe fitu lau ʻe fitu; pea ko hono lau ʻoe Sāpate ʻe fitu ʻoe ngaahi taʻu ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu ma hiva.
8¶ And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
9Pea te ke toki fekau ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻoe siupeli ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakalelei ke mou fakaongo atu ʻae meʻa lea ʻi homou fonua kotoa pē.
9Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10Pea ke mou fakatapui hono nimangofulu ʻoe taʻu, ʻo fakahā ʻae huhuʻi ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ki hono kakai kotoa pē; ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e siupeli: pea ʻe toe hoko ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono ʻapi, pea ʻe toe haʻu taki taha ʻae tangata ki hono fale.
10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11Ko e nimangofulu taʻu ko ia ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e siupeli: ʻoua naʻa mou tūtuuʻi, pe tuʻusi ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe, pe tānaki mei he vaine ʻoku taʻeʻauhani.
11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
12He ko e siupeli ia; ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate kimoutolu: te mou kai ʻa hono fua ʻo ia mei he ngoue pe.
12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13Pea ʻi he taʻu ʻoe siupeli ni ʻe toe haʻu ʻae tangata taki taha kotoa pē ki hono tofiʻa,
13In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
14Pea kapau ʻoku ke fakatau ha meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi, pe fakatau ha meʻa meiate ia, ʻoua naʻa mou fefakamamahiʻaki ʻakimoutolu:
14And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
15Ke ke fakatau mei ho kaungāʻapi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻi he hili ʻae siupeli, pea te ne fakatau kiate koe ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻo hono ngaahi fua:
15According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
16Te ke fakalahi ʻa hono totongi ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻoe taʻu, pea ke fakasiʻisiʻi hono totongi ʻo fakatatau ki hono siʻi ʻoe taʻu: he ʻoku ne fakatau ia kiate koe ʻo fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu ʻo hono fua ʻo ia.
16According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
17Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou fefakamamahiʻaki ʻakimoutolu; ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua; he ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
17Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
18¶ Ko ia ke mou fai ʻeku ngaahi fekau, pea tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo fai ki ai; pea te mou nofo malu pe ʻi he fonua.
18¶ Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
19Pea ʻe tupu ʻi he fonua hono fua, pea te mou kai ʻo mākona, ʻo nofo ʻi ai ʻi he fiemālie.
19And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20Pea kapau ʻoku mou pehē, Ko e hā te mau kai ʻi hono fitu ʻoe taʻu? Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te mau tūtuuʻi, pe tānaki ʻemau fua:
20And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21Teu toki fekau ʻeku tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi hono ono ʻoe taʻu, pea ʻe tupu ʻi ai ʻae fua ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe tolu.
21Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22Pea te mou tūtuuʻi ʻi hono valu ʻoe taʻu, kae kai ʻae fua motuʻa ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe taʻu: te mou kai ʻae meʻakai motuʻa kaeʻoua ke hoko ʻa hono toʻukai.
22And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store .
23¶ ʻE ʻikai fakatau ʻae fonua ʻo taʻengata: he ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻae fonua; he ko e kau muli mo e ʻāunofo ʻakimoutolu kiate au.
23¶ The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24Pea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻoku mou maʻu te mou tuku ke huhuʻi ʻae fonua.
24And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25¶ Kapau kuo fakaʻaʻau ʻo masiva ʻa ho kāinga, pea kuo ne fakatau ha potu ʻo hono ʻapi, pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha niʻihi ʻi hono kāinga ke huhuʻi ia, ke ne huhuʻi ai ʻaia naʻe fakatau ʻe hono kāinga.
25¶ If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ha tokotaha ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻoku faʻa huhuʻi ia ʻe ia pe;
26And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27Tuku ai ke ne lau ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi taʻu ʻo hono fakatau ʻo ia, pea ʻatu hono toe ʻo ia ki he tangata naʻa ne fakatau ia ki ai; koeʻuhi ke toe haʻu ia ki hono ʻapi.
27Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
28Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe ia ke toe ʻomi ia kiate ia, pea ko e meʻa naʻe fakatau ʻe tuku pe ia ʻi he nima ʻo ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli: pea ʻi he siupeli ʻe tukuange ia, pea ʻe haʻu ia ki hono ʻapi.
28But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
29Pea kapau ʻoku fakatau ʻe ha tangata ha fale nofoʻanga ʻi loto kolo ʻoku ai hano ʻā maka, ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene huhuʻi ia ʻi he ʻikai ʻosi ʻae taʻu kotoa hili hono fakatau: ʻi he taʻu kotoa ʻe ngofua ʻa ʻene huhuʻi ia.
29And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
30Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia ʻi he taʻu kātoa, pea ko e fale ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kolo ʻā maka ʻe ʻoʻona ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo taʻengata ʻi hono ngaahi toʻutangata; ʻe ʻikai toe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli.
30And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
31Ka ko e ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻā, ʻe lau ia fakataha mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻoe fonua: ʻe ngofua ke huhuʻi ia, pea ʻe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli.
31But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
32Ka ko e ngaahi potu nofoʻanga ʻoe kau Livai, mo e ngaahi fale ʻi he ngaahi potu nofoʻanga ʻo honau ʻapi, ʻe ngofua ki he kau Livai, ke huhuʻi ia ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē.
32Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33Pea kapau ʻoku fakatau ʻe ha tangata mei he kau Livai, pea ko e fale naʻe fakatau, mo e potu kakai ʻo hono ʻapi, ʻe tukuange ia ʻi he siupeli: he ko e ngaahi fale ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai ʻoe kau Livai, ko honau ʻapi ia ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
33And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
34Ka ko e ngoue ʻoku hoko ʻo ofi mo honau ngaahi potu kakai, ʻe ʻikai fakatau ia: he ko honau tofiʻa tuʻumaʻu ia.
34But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35¶ Pea kapau kuo hoko ʻo masiva ʻa ho kāinga, pea kuo vaivai ia; pea te ke tokoni ia; neongo pe ko e muli ia pe ko ha ʻāunofo kiate koe; koeʻuhi ke ne moʻui ai mo koe.
35¶ And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
36ʻOua naʻa ke toʻo ha totongi ʻiate ia, pe hano tupu; ka ke manavahē ki he ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ke moʻui ho kāinga mo koe.
36Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37ʻOua naʻa ke ʻatu hoʻo koloa kiate ia ke maʻu ai ʻae totongi, pe nō hoʻo meʻakai ke maʻu ai hono tupu.
37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, kuo u ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, pea ke u hoko ko homou ʻOtua.
38I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
39¶ Pea kapau kuo hoko ʻo masiva ho kāinga ʻoku nofo ofi kiate koe, pea fakatau ʻe ia ia kiate koe: ʻoua naʻa ke fakapōpulaʻi ia ke fai ʻo hangē ha hopoate;
39¶ And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40Ka ʻe ʻiate koe ia ʻo hangē ha tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ngāue ki ha totongi, mo e ʻāunofo, pea te ne ʻiate koe ko e tauhi ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli:
40But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41Pea ʻe toki ʻalu ia ʻiate koe, ʻaia mo ʻene fānau mo ia, pea ʻe toe hoko atu ia ki hono kāinga, pea ʻe hoko ki he ʻapi ʻo ʻene ngaahi tamai.
41And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42He ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu, ʻaia naʻaku ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: ʻoua naʻa fakatau ʻakinautolu ke fakapōpulaʻi.
42For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43ʻE ʻikai te ke puleʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he mālohi lahi; ka ke manavahē ki ho ʻOtua.
43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
44Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki mo hoʻo kau kaunanga ʻaia te ke maʻu, ʻe maʻu ia mei he kakai taʻelotu ʻoku nofo takatakai ʻiate koe; ke mou fakatau ʻiate kinautolu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki mo e kau kaunanga.
44Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45Pea koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻae kau muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kimoutolu, te mou fakatau ʻiate kinautolu, pea ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻa nau fakatupu ʻi homou fonua: pea ko homou kakai ʻakinautolu.
45Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
46Pea ke mou maʻu ʻakinautolu ko e kakai ki hoʻomou fānau ʻoku muimui ʻiate kimoutolu, kenau maʻu ʻakinautolu ko honau kakai; ko hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata; ka ʻe ʻikai te mou pule mālohi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ko homou kāinga, ko e taha ki he taha.
46And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
47¶ Pea kapau ʻe fakaʻaʻau ʻo koloaʻia ha ʻāunofo, pe ha muli ʻoku nofo ofi kiate koe, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo masiva ho kāinga ʻoku nofo ofi kiate ia, ʻo ne fakatau ia ki he muli pe ko e ʻāunofo ʻoku nofo ʻāunofo ofi kiate ia, pe ki ha tokotaha ʻi he hako ʻoe muli:
47¶ And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
48Hili hono fakatau ia ʻoku ngofua ke huhuʻi ia: ʻoku ngofua ke huhuʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi hono kāinga.
48After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
49ʻE ngofua ke huhuʻi ia ʻe he tokoua ʻo ʻene tamai, pe ko e foha ʻoʻona, pe huhuʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoku kāinga ofi kiate ia ʻi hono kāinga; pea kapau ʻoku ne mafai, ke huhuʻi ia ʻe ia pe.
49Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50Pea te ne lau kiate ia naʻa ne fakatau ia ʻo fai mei he taʻu naʻe fakatau ai ia kiate ia ʻo hoko ki he taʻu ʻoe siupeli: pea ko e totongi ʻoe fakatau ʻe fakatatau ki hono lau ʻoe taʻu, ʻe fakatatau ia kiate ia mo e ngāue ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻoku totongi.
50And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51Kapau ʻoku toe lahi ʻae taʻu kimui, ʻe toe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻo fakatatau ki ai ʻae koloa ʻo hono huhuʻi mei he koloa naʻe fakatauʻaki ia.
51If there be yet many years behind , according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52Pea kapau ʻoku toe siʻi pe ʻae taʻu ki he siupeli, pea ʻe lau ia ki ai mo ia, pea ʻe toe ʻatu kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono taʻu ʻae totongi ʻo hono huhuʻi.
52And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
53Pea ʻe ʻiate ia ia ʻo hangē ha tamaioʻeiki ngāue ʻoku totongi ʻi he taʻu taki taha; pea ʻe ʻikai puleʻi mālohi ia kiate ia ʻi ho ʻao.
53And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
54Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ko ia, pea ʻe toki tukuange ia ʻi he taʻu ʻoe siupeli, ʻa ia, mo ʻene fānau mo ia.
54And if he be not redeemed in these years , then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
55He ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate au ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; ko ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakinautolu, ʻaia kuo u ʻomi mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite: Ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
55For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
