Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha ʻoe ʻāngelo ʻe toko fitu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae hina ʻe fitu, ʻo ne lea kiate au, ʻo pehē mai kiate au, “Haʻu ki heni; pea te u fakahā kiate koe hono fakamaau ʻoe fuʻu feʻauaki, ʻoku heka ʻi he ngaahi vai lahi:
1And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2ʻAia kuo fai feʻauaki mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻa māmani, pea ko e kakai ʻo māmani naʻe fakakona ʻaki ʻae uaine ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.”
2With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3Pea naʻe ʻāvea au ʻi he laumālie ki he toafa: pea ne u mamata ʻoku heka ʻae fefine ʻi he manu fekai ʻoku kulaʻahoʻaho, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi hingoa fakataukae ki he ʻOtua, kuo fitu hono ʻulu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
3So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4Pea naʻe teunga ʻaki ʻae fefine ʻae kulokula mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, pea teunga ʻaki foki ʻae koula mo e ngaahi maka koloa mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe, kuo ʻi hono nima ʻae ipu koula, kuo pito ʻi he ngaahi fakalielia mo e ʻuli ʻo ʻene feʻauaki.
4And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5Pea naʻe tohi ʻi hono foʻi laʻē ʻae hingoa ni , KO E MEʻA FAKALILOLILO, KO PAPILONE KO E LAHI, KO E FAʻĒ ʻAE KAU FEʻAUAKI MO E NGAAHI FAKALIELIA ʻOE MĀMANI.
5And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6Pea ne u mamata ʻoku konā ʻae fefine ʻi he toto ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo e toto ʻoe kakai naʻe mate koeʻuhi ko Sisu: pea ne u ofo ʻi heʻeku mamata ki ai, ʻo ofo lahi ʻaupito.
6And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7Pea pehē mai ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate au, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ofo ai? Te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻoku kau ki he fefine, mo e manu fekai ʻoku ne fua ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ʻulu ʻe fitu, pea mo e nifo ʻe hongofulu.
7And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8Ko e manu fekai ne ke mamata ai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni; pea ʻe ʻalu hake mei he luo taʻehanotakele, pea ʻe ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi māmani, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻikai tohi honau hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻoe moʻui talu hono ngaohi ʻo māmani, te nau ofo ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai eni, ka ʻoku ʻi ai ni.
8The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9“Ko eni ʻae loto ʻoku poto. Ko e ʻulu ʻe fitu, ko e moʻunga ia ʻe fitu, ʻaia ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine.
9And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10Pea ʻoku fitu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: kuo hinga ʻae toko nima, pea ʻoku ai ni ʻae tokotaha, pea ʻoku teʻeki hoko hono toe; pea ka haʻu ia, kuo pau ke nofo pe ia ʻi he kuonga siʻi.
10And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11Pea ko e manu fekai, naʻe ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai eni, ko hono valu ia, pea ʻoku ʻoe toko fitu, pea ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he malaʻia.
11And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12“Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e tuʻi ʻe hongofulu ia, ʻoku teʻeki kenau maʻu ha puleʻanga; ka ʻoku nau maʻu ʻae mālohi ʻo hangē ha ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ʻe taha fakataha mo e manu fekai.
12And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13ʻOku loto taha ʻakinautolu ni, pea te nau foaki ʻenau pule mo e mālohi ki he manu fekai.
13These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14ʻE tauʻi ʻekinautolu ni ʻae Lami, pea ʻe ikuna ʻakinautolu ʻe he Lami: he ko e ʻeiki ia ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki, ko e tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia kuo ui, mo fili, mo angatonu.”
14These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15Pea naʻa ne pehē mai kiate au, “Ko e ngaahi vai ne ke mamata ai, ʻoku heka ai ʻae fefine feʻauaki, ko e ngaahi kakai mo e fuʻu tokolahi, mo e ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e ngaahi lea.
15And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16Pea ko e nifoʻi ʻulu ʻe hongofulu ne ke mamata ai ʻi he manu fekai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻakinautolu ni ki he fefine feʻauaki, pea te nau fakamasivaʻi mo fakatelefuaʻi ia, pea te nau kai ʻa hono kakano, pea tutu ia ʻi he afi.
16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17He kuo fakalotoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ke nau fai ki hono finangalo, pea ke nau loto taha, ʻo foaki honau puleʻanga ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
17For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18Pea ko e fefine naʻa ke mamata ki ai, ko e kolo lahi ko ia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne puleʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani.”
18And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
