Tongan Revised West VersionBerean Standard Bible

1. 1RWVNaʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae langi mo māmani.BSBBSB: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2. 2RWVPea naʻe fuofuonoa ʻa māmani mo lala; pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae funga ʻoe loloto. Pea naʻe ʻōʻōfaki ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fukahi vai.BSBBSB: Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
3. 3RWVPea folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke maama pea naʻe maama ai.”BSBBSB: And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4. 4RWVPea ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki he maama, kuo lelei ia: pea naʻe vaheʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama mei he poʻuli.BSBBSB: And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
5. 5RWVPea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama ko e “ʻAho,” pea ne ui ʻae poʻuli ko e “Pō.” Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko e ʻuluaki ʻaho ia.BSBBSB: God called the light “day,” and the darkness He called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
6. 6RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke ai ʻae ʻatā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ngaahi vai, ke vaheʻi ʻae ngaahi vai mei he ngaahi vai.”BSBBSB: And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.”
7. 7RWVPea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻae ʻatā, pea vaheʻi ʻae ngaahi vai naʻe ʻi he lalo ʻatā, mei he ngaahi vai naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻatā: pea naʻe hoko ia.BSBBSB: So God made the expanse and separated the waters beneath it from the waters above. And it was so.
8. 8RWVPea naʻe ui ʻae ʻatā ʻe he ʻOtua ko e “Langi.” Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho ua ia.BSBBSB: God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
9. 9RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke fakataha ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he lalo langi ki he potu pe taha, pea ke hā mai ʻae mōmoa: pea naʻe hoko ia.”BSBBSB: And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.
10. 10RWVPea naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mōmoa ko e Fonua; pea ko e ngaahi vai naʻe tānaki fakataha, naʻa ne ui ko e Tahi; pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.BSBBSB: God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11. 11RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu ʻae mohuku mei he kelekele, mo e ʻakau iiki ʻoku ai hono tenga, mo e ʻakau ʻoku fua, pea ʻi ai hono tenga, ʻo tatau mo hono faʻahinga:” pea naʻe hoko ia.BSBBSB: Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees, each bearing fruit with seed according to its kind.” And it was so.
12. 12RWVPea naʻe tupu mei he kelekele ʻae mohuku, mo e ʻakau iiki naʻe tupu ai ʻae tenga ʻo hono faʻahinga, mo e ʻakau ʻoku fua, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tenga ʻo hono faʻahinga: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.BSBBSB: The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13. 13RWVPea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho tolu ia.BSBBSB: And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
14. 14RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke ai ʻae ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi, ke vaheʻi ʻae ʻaho mei he pō; pea ke fakaʻilonga ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi faʻahitaʻu, mo e ngaahi ʻaho, mo e ngaahi taʻu:BSBBSB: And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.
15. 15RWVpea ke hoko ia ko e ngaahi maama ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi ke fakamaama ki māmani:” pea naʻe hoko ia.BSBBSB: And let them serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
16. 16RWVPea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae maama lahi ʻe ua; ko e maama lahi hake ke pule ki he ʻaho, mo e maama siʻi ke pule ki he pō: pea mo e ngaahi fetuʻu foki.BSBBSB: God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.
17. 17RWVPea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi, ke fakamaama ki māmani,BSBBSB: God set these lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,
18. 18RWVPea ke pule ki he ʻaho mo e pō, pea ke vaheʻi ʻae maama mei he poʻuli: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.BSBBSB: to preside over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19. 19RWVPea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho fā ia.BSBBSB: And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
20. 20RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito mei he ngaahi vai ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻoku totolo, mo e fanga manupuna ke puna ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, ʻi he ʻatā ʻoe langi.”BSBBSB: And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”
21. 21RWVPea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi tofuaʻa lalahi, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē naʻe ngaolo, ʻaia ne tupu lahi ʻaupito mei he ngaahi vai ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻi honau faʻahinga pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei.BSBBSB: So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed according to their kinds, and every winged bird after its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22. 22RWVPea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Mou fanafanau, mo tupu ke lahi, pea fakafonu ʻae ngaahi vai ʻoe tahi, pea ke tupu ke lahi ʻae fanga manupuna ʻi māmani.BSBBSB: Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
23. 23RWVPea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho nima ia.BSBBSB: And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24. 24RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tupu mei he fonua ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻae fanga manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga:” pea naʻe hoko ia.BSBBSB: And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, land crawlers, and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.
25. 25RWVPea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae manu ʻoe vao ʻi hono faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu lalahi ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he funga fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga: pea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lelei ia.BSBBSB: God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26. 26RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Ke tau ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi hotau tatau, mo e tau anga: pea kenau pule ki he ika ʻoe tahi, mo e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e fanga manu, mo māmani kotoa pē, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he kelekele.”BSBBSB: Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”
27. 27RWVKo ia naʻe ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono tatau, naʻa ne ngaohi ia ʻi he tatau ʻoe ʻOtua; naʻa ne ngaohi ʻakinaua ko e tangata mo e fefine.BSBBSB: So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28. 28RWVPea naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻakinaua ʻe he ʻOtua, pea folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinaua, “Fanafanau, mo fakatokolahi, mo fakakakai ʻa māmani, pea pule ki ai: pea pule ki he ika ʻoe tahi, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku ngaue ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.”BSBBSB: God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”
29. 29RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo u foaki kiate kimoua ʻae ʻakau iiki kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai hono tenga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻoe fonua kotoa, mo e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku fua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai hono tenga; ko ia ia ke mo kai.BSBBSB: Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food.
30. 30RWVPea ko e fanga manu kotoa pē ʻi he fonua, mo e fanga manupuna kotoa pē ʻoe ʻatā, mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua, ʻe kai ʻi he ʻakaulaumata kotoa pē:” pea naʻe hoko ia.BSBBSB: And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31. 31RWVPea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne ngaohi, pea vakai, naʻe lelei ʻaupito. Pea ko e efiafi mo e pongipongi ko hono ʻaho ono ia.BSBBSB: And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
