Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
1Ko ia ketau manavahē, telia, ʻi he tuku mai ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, ʻe ai hamou tokotaha ʻe tomui ki ai.
2For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
2He kuo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kitautolu, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu: ka ko e fanongo ki he folofola naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu, ko e ʻikai ke felingiʻaki ia ʻae tui ʻekinautolu naʻe fanongo.
3For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
3He ko kitautolu ʻoku tui kuo tau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola, “Kuo u fuakava ʻi heʻeku houhau, E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga:” ka kuo fakaʻosi ʻae ngaahi ngaue talu ʻae fakatupu ʻo māmani.
4For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
4He naʻe lea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha ki hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, “Pea naʻe mālōlō ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho mei heʻene ngaue kotoa pē.”
5and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
5Pea mo eni foki, “E ʻikai te nau hū ki hoku mālōlōʻanga.”
6Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
6Ko ia koeʻuhi kuo pau ʻe hū ki ai ʻae niʻihi, pea naʻe ʻikai hū ʻakinautolu naʻe tomuʻa malanga ia ki ai, ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui:
7he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
7(Pea toe kotofa ʻe ia ʻae ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻo pehē mai ʻia Tevita, “Ko e ʻaho ni,” ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi taʻu lahi; ʻo hangē ko hono fakahā, “Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻo kapau te mou fanongo ki hono leʻo, ʻoua naʻa fakafefeka homou loto.”
8For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
8He ka ne foaki ʻe Siosiua, ʻae mālōlōʻanga kiate kinautolu, pehē, ʻe ʻikai folofola ia ki mui ki ha ʻaho kehe.
9There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
9Ko ia ʻoku kei toe ʻae mālōlōʻanga fakaSāpate ki he kakai ʻae ʻOtua.
10For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
10He ko ia kuo hū ki hono mālōlōʻanga, kuo mālōlō foki ʻe ia mei heʻene ngaue ʻaʻana, ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua mei heʻene ngaue .)
11Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
11Ko ia ke tau fai feinga ke hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ko ia, telia naʻa ai ha taha ʻe hinga ʻi he fai ʻo fakatatau ki he taʻetui ko ia.
12For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
12He ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku moʻui, mo mālohi, pea māsila lahi ʻi ha heletā ʻoku fakatoumata, ʻoku ʻasi ki hono vaheʻi ʻoe loto mo e laumālie, mo e ngaahi hokotanga hui mo e uho, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi mahalo mo e filioʻi ʻoe loto.
13There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
13Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku taʻehāmai ʻi hono ʻao: ka ʻoku telefua pea tokaimaʻananga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki he fofonga ʻo ia ʻaia te tau fakamaau ki ai.
14Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
14Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻaia kuo hū atu ʻi he langi, ko Sisu ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke tau puke maʻu ʻa ʻetau lotu.
15For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
15He ʻoku ʻikai ke tau maʻu ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki ʻoku taʻemanavaʻofa ki heʻetau ngaahi vaivai; ka naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi tatau pe ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala.
16Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
16Ko ia ke tau haʻu mālohi ai ki he ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻaloʻofa, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ʻilo mo e foaki ʻofa, ke tokoni mai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ʻaonga ai.
