Fakahā 12
1 Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae meʻa fakaofo lahi ʻi he langi; ko e fefine kuo kofuʻaki ʻae laʻā, pea ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae māhina, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae pale ʻoe fetuʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua:
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 Pea naʻe feitama ia pea tangi, ʻo langā, pea mamahi ke fānau.
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
3 Pea naʻe hā mai mo e meʻa fakaofo ʻe taha ʻi he langi; pea vakai, ko e fuʻu ngata lahi naʻe kulokula, kuo fitu hono ʻulu, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae nifo ʻe hongofulu, pea fitu ʻae pale ʻi hono ngaahi ʻulu.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 Pea naʻe toho ʻaki ʻe hono iku hono tolu ʻoe vahe ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo e langi, ʻo ne lī hifo ʻakinautolu ki he fonua: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae fuʻu ngata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fefine naʻe teu ke fānau, koeʻuhi, ka fanauʻi leva ʻene tamasiʻi, ke ne kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 Pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tamasiʻi tangata, ʻaia te ne puleʻi ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea: pea naʻe toʻo hake ʻene tamasiʻi ki he ʻOtua, pea ki hono nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to] his throne.
6 Pea naʻe hola ʻae fefine ki he toafa, ʻaia ʻoku ai hono potu kuo teu ʻe he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke nau fafanga ia ʻi ai ko e ʻaho ʻe taha afe ma uangeau ma onongofulu.
And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days.
7 Pea naʻe fai ʻa ʻetau ʻi he langi: ko Maikeli mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo naʻa nau tauʻi ʻae fuʻu ngata; pea naʻe tau ʻae fuʻu ngata mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ikuna; pea naʻe ʻikai kei ʻilo hanau potu ʻi he langi.
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 Pea naʻe lī kituʻa ʻae fuʻu ngata lahi, ʻae ngata motuʻa ko ia, ʻoku ui ko Tēvolo, mo Sētane, ʻaia ʻoku ne kākaaʻi ʻa māmani kotoa pē: naʻe lī ia kituʻa ki he fonua, pea naʻe lī kituʻa mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ʻāngelo.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Pea ne u ongoʻi ʻae leʻo lahi ʻi he langi, naʻe pehē, “Ko eni kuo hoko mai ʻae fakamoʻui, mo e mālohi, mo e puleʻanga ʻo hotau ʻOtua, mo e mālohi ʻo hono Kalaisi: he kuo lī ki lalo ʻae fakakovi ʻo hotau kāinga, ʻaia naʻa ne fakakoviʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 Pea naʻa nau ikuna ia ʻaki ʻae taʻataʻa ʻoe Lami, mo e lea ʻo ʻenau fakamoʻoni; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mamae ki heʻenau moʻui ka nau mate.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Ko ia ke fiefia, ʻae ngaahi langi, mo kimoutolu ʻoku nofo ai. ʻE malaʻia ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he maama na mo e tahi! He kuo ʻalu hifo ʻae tēvolo kiate kimoutolu, kuo ʻita lahi, koeʻuhi ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻoku fuoloa siʻi pe hono kuonga.”
Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
13 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he fuʻu ngata kuo lī ia ki he māmani, naʻa ne fakatangaʻi ʻae fefine ne ne fanauʻi ʻae tamasiʻi tangata.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
14 Pea naʻe foaki ki he fefine ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe ʻikale lahi, ke ne puna ʻaki ia ki he toafa, ki hono potu, ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ai ia ʻi ha kuonga, mo e ngaahi kuonga, mo e vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe kuonga, mei he ʻao ʻoe ngata.
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 Pea naʻe puʻaki ʻe he ngata ki he fefine ʻae vai mei hono ngutu ʻo hangē ha vaitafe, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ke ʻauhia ia ʻi he vai.
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 Pea naʻe tokoniʻi ʻae fefine ʻe he fonua, pea matoʻo ʻe he fonua hono ngutu, ʻo ne folo hifo ʻae vai, ʻaia naʻe puʻaki ʻe he fuʻu ngata mei hono ngutu.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 Pea naʻe ʻita ʻae fuʻu ngata ki he fefine, ʻo ne ʻalu ke tauʻi hono toe ʻo hono hako, ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae ʻOtua, pea maʻu mo e fakamoʻoni ʻo Sisu Kalaisi.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
