Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese mo ʻElone, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua,
2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
2Lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ko eni ʻae ngaahi manu ʻaia temou kai ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.
3Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
3ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻi he fanga manu ʻoku mavaeua hono pesipesi, pea vaʻe mafahi, pea ʻoku toe lamulamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, temou kai ia.
4“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
4Ka ko e niʻihi ʻi ai ʻoku lamu ʻangaua ʻene kai, mo vaeua ʻae vaʻe ʻe ʻikai temou kai: ʻo hangē ko e kāmeli, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavahevahe ʻae vaʻe: ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
5The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
5Pea mo e koni, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene maʻanga, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavaeua ʻae vaʻe; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
6The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
6Pea ko e hea, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne toe lamu ʻene kai, ka ʻoku ʻikai mavaeua hono pesipesi: ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
7The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.
7Pea ko e puaka, ʻoku mavahevahe hono pesipesi, pea vaʻe mafahi, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakahake ʻene kai ʻo toe lamu ia; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
8You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
8ʻOua naʻa mou kai honau sino, pe ala ki honau kakano; ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
9“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
9Ko eni ia temou kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi vai: ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he vai ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae kaponga, mo e ʻuno, ʻi he tahi mo e ngaahi vaitafe, ko ia te mou kai.
10All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
10Pea ko e meʻa ʻi tahi, pea ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe, ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻae kaponga mo e ʻuno, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he vai, pe ko ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku moʻui ʻi he ngaahi vai, ko e meʻa kovi ia kiate kimoutolu.
11and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
11ʻIo, ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e meʻa fakalielia: ʻoua naʻa mou kai honau sino, pea ko honau kakano ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
12Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
12ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻi he ngaahi vai ʻoku ʻikai hano kaponga pe ʻuno, ke ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko e meʻa fakalielia.
13“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
13¶ Pea ko eni ia ʻi he ngaahi manu kapakau ʻe tapu kiate kimoutolu; ʻe ʻikai temou kai ia, he ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu: ko e ʻikale, mo e ʻosifalesi, mo e ʻosipale,
14the red kite, any kind of black kite,
14Mo e volita, mo e kaite ʻi hona faʻahinga.
15any kind of raven,
15ʻAe leveni kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga,
16the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
16Mo e ʻositalesi, mo e taiseni ʻoe poʻuli, mo e koku, mo e taiseni ʻi hono faʻahinga,
17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
17Mo e lulu iiki, mo e komolaniti, mo e lulu lahi,
18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
18Mo e suani, mo e lofa, mo e Lahami,
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19Mo e sitoaka, mo e motuku ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e lapiuingi, mo e peka.
20“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
20Ko e ngaahi manu kapakau ʻoku totolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻi honau vaʻe, ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.
21Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ni temou kai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa puna ʻoku totolo, ʻo ʻalu ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻaia ʻoku maʻu ʻae vaʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi honau vaʻe, ke hopo ʻaki ʻi he kelekele;
22Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
22ʻIo, ko eni ia ʻi ai temou kai; ko e heʻe lalahi ʻi honau faʻahinga, ko e solami ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e kakoli ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e kakapi ʻi honau faʻahinga:
23But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.
23Ka ko e ngaahi manupuna kotoa pē ʻoku totolo, ʻaia ʻoku veʻe fā: ko e meʻa fakalielia ia kiate kimoutolu.
24“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
24Pea temou taʻemaʻa koeʻuhi ko ia he ko ia ʻe ala ki honau ʻangaʻanga ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
25Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
25Pea ko ia ʻe toʻo ha potu ʻo honau sino ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
26“‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
26Ko e sino ʻoe manu kotoa pē ʻoku vahe ua hono pesipesi ka ʻoku ʻikai vaʻe mafahifahi, pe toe lamu ʻene kai, ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ala ki ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
27Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
27Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻi he ngaahi manu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi hono ʻaofivaʻe ʻo fakaveʻe fā; ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu: ko ia ʻoku ala ki honau sino ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
28He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
28Pea ko ia ʻoku ne fua honau sino ʻe fō ʻe ia hono ngaahi kofu, pea taʻemaʻa ia ke ʻoua ke efiafi: ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu.
29“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,
29¶ Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku totolo ʻi he kelekele ʻoku taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu; ko e uiseli, mo e kumā, mo e fonu papālangi ʻi hono faʻahinga.
30the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
30Mo e felite, mo e fokai, mo e moko, mo e sineli, mo e mole.
31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
31Ko eni ia ʻoku taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa ʻoku totolo; ko ia ʻe ala ki ai ka kuo mate, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
32Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
32Pea ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻe tō ki ai ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ka kuo mate, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pe ko e ipu ʻakau ia, pe ko e kofu, pe ko e kili, pe ko e kato, ha ipu, pe ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku fai ʻaki ha ngāue, ʻoku tonu ke tuku ia ki he vai, pea tuku ke taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi; pea ʻe fakamaʻa ai ia.
33Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
33Pea ʻilonga ha ipu ʻumea ʻaia ʻe tō hanau taha ki ai, ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pea temou foaʻi ia.
34All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
34ʻIlonga ʻae meʻakai ʻoku ngofua ke kai, pea kuo tō ki ai ʻae vai ko ia ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pea ko e meʻainu kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ngofua ke inu ʻi he ngaahi ipu pehē, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
35Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
35Pea ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻe tō ki ai ha konga ʻo honau sino, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia; pe ko e ngotoʻumu, pe ko e hiliʻanga kulo, ʻe maumauʻi ia; he ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa, pea tenau taʻemaʻa kiate kimoutolu.
36Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
36Ka koeʻuhi ko e vai moʻui, pe ha luo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae vai lahi, ʻe maʻa ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ala ki honau sino ʻe taʻemaʻa ia.
37If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
37Pea kapau ʻe tō ha potu ʻo honau sino ki he tengaʻi ʻakau ʻaia ʻoku tuku ki he tō taʻu, ʻe maʻa ia.
38But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
38Pea kapau kuo lingi ha vai ki he ngaahi tenga, pea tō ki ai ha potu ʻo honau sino ki ai, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
39“‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
39Pea kapau ʻoku mate mahaki ha manu, ʻaia ʻoku ngofua ke kai: ko ia ʻoku ala ki hono sino, ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
40He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
40Pea ko ia ʻoku ne kai mei hono sino, ʻe fō hono kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi; mo ia foki ʻoku ne fua hono sino ʻo ia, ʻe fō ʻe ia hono kofu, pea ʻe taʻemaʻa ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi.
41“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
41Pea ko e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ki he kelekele ko e meʻa taʻemaʻa ia; ʻe ʻikai kai ia.
42Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
42ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku ngaolo ki hono kete, mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu veʻe fā, mo ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa totolo ʻi he kelekele ʻoku lahi hono vaʻe, ʻe ʻikai temou kai ia he ʻoku nau taʻemaʻa.
43You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
43ʻOua naʻa mou fakalieliaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku totolo; pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻuliʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ke mou taʻemaʻa ai.
44For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
44He ko au ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua: ko ia temou fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea temou māʻoniʻoni; he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni: pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻuliʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ha meʻa totolo ʻe taha ʻoku totolo ʻi he funga kelekele.
45For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
45He ko au Sihova ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ke hoko ko homou ʻOtua: ko ia temou māʻoniʻoni ai, he ʻoku ou māʻoniʻoni.
46“‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,
46Ko eni ʻae fono ki he ngaahi manu lahi, pea ki he fanga manu kapakau, pea ki he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he ngaahi vai, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻi he funga kelekele.
47to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
47Ke fai kehekehe ki he meʻa taʻemaʻa mo e meʻa maʻa, pea ki he manu ʻoku ngofua ke kai mo e manu ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke kai.
