Tongan Revised West VersionBerean Standard Bible

1. 1RWVPea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ke tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, naʻe fanauʻi ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine kiate kinautolu,BSBBSB: Now when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them,
2. 2RWVPea mamata ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata ʻoku nau hoihoifua; pea naʻa nau fili mei ai ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻo maʻu kiate kinautolu.BSBBSB: the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.
3. 3RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “E ʻikai ʻahiʻahi maʻuaipē ʻa hoku Laumālie mo e tangata, he ko e kakano foki ia: ka ʻe hoko hono ngaahi ʻaho ki he taʻu ʻe teau ma uofulu.”BSBBSB: So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”
4. 4RWVʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ai ʻae kakai lalahi ʻi māmani; pea hili ia foki, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻoe tangata, pea nau fānau kiate kinautolu, naʻe mālohi lahi ʻae kau tangata ko ia, ʻae kau tangata ongoongo ʻoe muʻaki kuonga.BSBBSB: The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and afterward as well—when the sons of God had relations with the daughters of men. And they bore them children who became the mighty men of old, men of renown.
5. 5RWVPea naʻe ʻafio ʻe he ʻOtua kuo lahi ʻae angahala ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea kuo kovi maʻuaipē ʻae filioʻi kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi mahalo ʻa hono loto.BSBBSB: Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.
6. 6RWVPea naʻe fakatomala ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi kuo ne ngaohi ʻae tangata ʻi māmani, pea naʻe mamahi ai ʻa hono finangalo.BSBBSB: And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
7. 7RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova, “Te u fakaʻauha mei he funga ʻo māmani ʻae tangata ʻaia kuo u ngaohi; ko e tangata, mo e manu, mo e meʻa totolo, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā; he ʻoku ou fakatomala ʻi heʻeku ngaohi ʻakinautolu.”BSBBSB: So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”
8. 8RWVKa naʻe ʻofeina ʻa Noa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.BSBBSB: Noah, however, found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9. 9RWVKo eni ʻae tala hohoko kia Noa ko e tangata angatonu mo haohaoa ʻa Noa ʻi hono toʻutangata, pea naʻe ʻaʻeva ʻa Noa mo e ʻOtua.BSBBSB: This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation; Noah walked with God.
10. 10RWVPea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Noa ʻae foha ʻe toko tolu, ko Semi, mo Hami, mo Sefeti.BSBBSB: And Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11. 11RWVNaʻe fakalielia foki ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi.BSBBSB: Now the earth was corrupt in the sight of God, and full of violence.
12. 12RWVPea naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki māmani, pea vakai kuo kovi ia; he naʻe fakalieliaʻi ʻe he kakano kotoa pē hono hala ʻi māmani.BSBBSB: And God looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt; for all living creatures on the earth had corrupted their ways.
13. 13RWVPea naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻOtua kia Noa, “Kuo hoko ki hoku ʻao ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe kakano kotoa pē; he kuo fonu ʻa māmani ʻi he fakamālohi ʻiate kinautolu; pea vakai, te u fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu mei he māmani.BSBBSB: Then God said to Noah, “The end of all living creatures has come before Me, because through them the earth is full of violence. Now behold, I will destroy both them and the earth.
14. 14RWVNgaohi kiate koe hā vaka mei he ʻakau ko e kofa; te ke ngaohi ʻae ngaahi ʻana ʻi he vaka, pea te ke vali ʻaki ia ʻae pulu ʻi loto mo tuʻa.BSBBSB: Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out.
15. 15RWVPea ko eni ʻae anga ʻo hono ngaohi, Ko hono lōloa ʻoe vaka ko e hanga ʻe onongeau, ko hono māukupu ko e hanga ʻe teau pea ko hono māʻolunga ko e hanga ʻe onongofulu.BSBBSB: And this is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high.
16. 16RWVTe ke ngaohi ha kātupa ʻi he vaka pea te ke fakaʻosi ia ʻi he hanga ʻe ua ki ʻolunga; pea te ke ʻai ʻae matapā ʻoe vaka ʻi hono kaokao; pea te ke ngaohi ʻae fata ʻi lalo, mo hono ua, mo hono tolu, ki ʻolunga.BSBBSB: You are to make a roof for the ark, finish its walls a cubit from the top, place a door in the side of the ark, and build lower, middle, and upper decks.
17. 17RWVPea vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku ou ʻomi ʻae lōmaki ʻoe ngaahi vai ki māmani, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kakano kotoa pē mei he lalo langi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mānava ʻoe moʻui; pea ʻe mate ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi māmani.BSBBSB: And behold, I will bring floodwaters upon the earth to destroy every creature under the heavens that has the breath of life. Everything on the earth will perish.
18. 18RWVKa te u fokotuʻumaʻu mo koe ʻeku fuakava; pea te ke haʻu ki he vaka, ʻa koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, mo ho uaifi, mo e ngaahi uaifi ʻo ho ngaahi foha mo koe.BSBBSB: But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
19. 19RWVPea te ke ʻomi ki he vaka ʻo tautau toko ua mei he meʻa moʻui kotoa pē ʻoe kakano kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mo koe; ko e fefine mo e tangata.BSBBSB: And you are to bring two of every living creature into the ark—male and female—to keep them alive with you.
20. 20RWVKo e fanga manupuna ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e fanga manu ʻi honau faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻi hono faʻahinga, ʻe haʻu kiate koe ʻae toko ua ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻui.BSBBSB: Two of every kind of bird and animal and crawling creature will come to you to be kept alive.
21. 21RWVPea ke toʻo kiate koe ʻi he meʻakai kotoa pē ʻoku kai, pea te ke tānaki ia kiate koe; pea ko e meʻakai ia kiate koe, pea mo kinautolu.”BSBBSB: You are also to take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten and gather it as food for yourselves and for the animals.”
22. 22RWVNaʻe fai pehē ʻe Noa; ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fekau kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ko ia naʻa ne fai.BSBBSB: So Noah did everything precisely as God had commanded him.
