King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ne u mamata ki he ʻāngelo ʻe taha ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he langi, kuo ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi lahi; pea naʻe māmangia ʻa māmani ʻi hono nāunau,
1And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2Pea naʻa ne kalanga mālohi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko Papilone ko e lahi kuo hinga, kuo hinga ia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe kau tēvolo, pea ko e ʻananga ʻoe laumālie ʻuli kotoa pē, pea ko e kātoanga ʻoe manupuna kotoa pē ʻoku ʻuli mo fakalielia.
2And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3He kuo inu ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi he uaine ʻoe houhau ʻo ʻene feʻauaki, pea kuo feʻauaki mo ia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea ko e kau fakatau ʻo māmani kuo nau koloaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa lelei.”
3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4Pea ne u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻe taha mei he langi, ʻoku pehē mai, “ʻE hoku kakai, haʻu meiate ia, ke ʻoua te mou kau ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahala, pea ke ʻoua naʻa mou moʻua ʻi heʻene ngaahi malaʻia.
4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5He kuo aʻu hake ki he langi ʻa ʻene ngaahi angahala, pea kuo manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene ngaahi hia.
5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
6Totongi kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene totongi kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻatu kiate ia ke tuʻo ua ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue: ʻi he ipu ʻaia naʻa ne fakafonu, ke fakafonu ai kiate ia ke liunga ua.
6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7Tuku kiate ia ʻae tautea mo e mamahi ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene fakahikihikiʻi ia, mo ʻene moʻui fakapelepeleʻi ia: he kuo pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, ‘ʻOku ou nofo ko e tuʻi fefine, pea ʻoku ʻikai mate hoku husepāniti, pea ʻe ʻikai te u mamata ki ha mamahi.’
7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8Ko ia, ʻe hoko ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻa hono ngaahi malaʻia, ko e mate, mo e tangi, mo e honge; pea ʻe fakaʻauha mālie ia ʻaki ʻae afi: he ʻoku māfimafi ʻae ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne fakamaauʻi ia.
8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9“Pea ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, naʻa nau feʻauaki mo moʻui fakapelepele mo ia, te nau tangi mo tangilāulau koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻoka nau ka mamata ki he kohu ʻo ʻene vela,
9And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10ʻO tuʻu mamaʻo atu, ʻi he manavahē ki heʻene mamahi, mo nau pehē, ‘ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia ko Papilone, ʻae kolo mālohi ko ia! He kuo hoko ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe taha ʻa hoʻo fakamaau.’
10Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11“Pea ʻe tangi mo tangilāulau ʻae kau fakatau ʻo māmani koeʻuhi ko ia; he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ke toe fakatau ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakatau:
11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12Ko e meʻa fakatau ʻoe koula, mo e siliva, mo e maka koloa, mo e mataʻitofe, mo e tupenu mahuʻinga, mo e kulokula, mo e silika, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, mo e ʻakau melie kotoa pē, mo e ipu lei kotoa pē, mo e ipu ʻoe ʻakau mahuʻinga lahi kotoa pē, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e maka lelei,
12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13Mo e sinamoni, mo e ngaahi meʻa nanamu mo e meʻa tākai, mo e laipeno, mo e uaine, mo e lolo, mo e mahoaʻa lelei, mo e uite, mo e fanga manu, mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e ngaahi saliote, mo e ngaahi sino, mo e ngaahi laumālie ʻoe kakai.
13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14Pea ko e ngaahi fua naʻe holi ki ai ʻa ho laumālie, kuo mole ʻiate koe, pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ifoifo lelei mo matamatalelei, kuo mole ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ke kei ʻilo ia.
14And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15Ko e kau fakatau ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau koloaʻia meiate ia, ʻe tutuʻu ʻi he mamaʻo atu, ko e meʻa ʻi he manavahē ki heʻene mamahi, ʻonau tangi mo tangilāulau,
15The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16‘Mo nau pehē, ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, naʻe kofuʻaki ʻae tupenu mahuʻinga, mo e kulokula, mo e kulaʻahoʻaho, pea teunga ʻaki ʻae koula, mo e maka koloa, mo e ngaahi mataʻitofe!
16And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17Koeʻuhi ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo mole ai ʻae koloa lahi pehē ni.’ Pea ko e ʻeiki vaka kotoa pē, mo e kakai folau kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi vaka, mo e kau toutai, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai fakatau ʻi he tahi, naʻa nau tutuʻu mamaʻo atu,
17For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18ʻo tangi, ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he kohu ʻo ʻene vela, mo pehē, ‘Ko fē hano tatau ʻoe kolo lahi ni!’
18And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19“Pea naʻa nau lī ʻae efu ki honau ʻulu, ʻo tangi, pea tangilāulau mo ʻOiauē, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOiauē, ʻoiauē, ʻae kolo lahi ko ia, ʻaia naʻe maʻu koloa mei ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi vaka ʻi he tahi, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fakatau lahi; he ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo fakamasiva ia.’
19And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
20“ʻE langi, ke ke fiefia kiate ia, fakataha mo e kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni; he kuo totongi ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.”
20Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
21Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ha ʻāngelo mālohi ʻae maka ʻo hangē ha fuʻu maka momosi, ʻo ne lī ia ki he tahi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE pehē ʻa hono lī mālohi hifo ʻae kolo lahi ko ia ko Papilone, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei ʻiloʻi ia.
21And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
22Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei fanongo ʻiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe kau tā haʻape, mo e kau tā meʻa faiva, mo e kau ifi fangufangu, mo e kau ifi meʻa lea, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ʻilo ʻiate koe ha tufunga ʻe taha, ʻi ha faiva ʻe taha; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ongoʻi ʻiate koe ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe maka momosi;
22And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be , shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23Pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei malama ʻiate koe ʻae ulo ʻo ha maama; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito kei ongoʻi ʻiate koe ʻae leʻo ʻoe tangata taʻane mo e taʻahine: he ko e houʻeiki ʻo māmani ko hoʻo kau fakatau; he naʻe kākaaʻi ʻe hoʻo fie mana ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.”
23And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia ʻae toto ʻoe kau palōfita, mo e kakai māʻoniʻoni, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”
24And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
