Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
1Ko ia ko kitautolu ʻoku mālohi ʻoku totonu ke tau kātaki ʻae ngaahi vaivai ʻoe vaivai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakafiemālie kiate kitautolu pē.
2Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
2Ke tau taki taha fakafiemālie kotoa pē ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke lelei ai mo langa hake ai ia.
3For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”
3He naʻe ʻikai fakafiemālie ʻa Kalaisi ʻe ia; kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe, naʻe tō kiate au.”
4For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
4He ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe tohi ʻi muʻa, naʻe tohi ko hotau akonaki, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kātaki mo e fakafiemālie ʻoe ngaahi tohi, ketau maʻu ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei.
5Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
5Pea ko eni, ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe faʻa kātaki mo e fiemālie, ke mou felototatauʻaki pē kiate kimoutolu ʻo tatau mo Kalaisi Sisu:
6so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6Koeʻuhi ke mou loto taha pē, mo ngutu taha pē, ʻi he fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
7Ko ia ke mou femāʻuaki ʻakimoutolu taki taha, ʻo hangē ko e maʻu foki ʻe Kalaisi ʻakitautolu ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
8Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fakahā ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻoe kamu, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa naʻe fai ki he ngaahi tamai:
9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
9Pea koeʻuhi ke fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e meʻa ko ia te u fakaongolelei ai koe ʻi he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻo hiva ki ho huafa.”
10Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
10Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, fakataha mo hono kakai.”
11And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”
11Pea toe pehē, “Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile kotoa pē: fakaongolelei ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
12And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
12Pea toe lea ʻa ʻIsaia, “ʻE ai ha aka ʻo Sese, pea ʻe tupu hake ia ke pule ki he kakai Senitaile; ʻe ʻamanaki lelei ʻae kakai Senitaile kiate ia.”
13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
13Pea ko eni, ʻofa ke fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei, ʻaki ʻae fiefia mo e melino ʻi he tui, koeʻuhi ke mou mohu ʻamanaki lelei, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
14Pea ko au foki, ʻoku ou ʻilo pau kiate kimoutolu, ko hoku kāinga, kuo fonu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he angalelei, kuo fakapito ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻilo kotoa pē, mo e mafai foki ke fetokoniʻaki ʻakimoutolu.
15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
15Ka kuo u tohi mālohi atu nai kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ke fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua,
16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
16Koeʻuhi ke u hoko ai ko e faifekau ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ki he kakai Senitaile, ʻo tauhi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻaonga hono feilaulau ʻaki ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
17Ko ia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻaia ke u fakamālō ai ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku kau ki he ʻOtua.
18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
18He ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Kalaisi ʻiate au, ke fakatalangofua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, ʻi he lea mo e ngāue,
19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
19ʻI he ngaahi mana lahi mo fakaofo, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo ʻaonga ʻeku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi, ʻo fai mei Selūsalema, ʻo fakatakamilo ʻo aʻu ki Ililekomi.
20In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
20ʻIo, naʻe pehē ʻeku feinga ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻikai ʻi he potu kuo huaʻaki ai ʻa kalaisi, telia naʻaku fokotuʻu ʻoha tangata kehe.
21Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
21Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai leaʻaki ia ki ai, te nau mamata: pea ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fanongo, te nau ʻilo.”
22That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.
22Ko ia ko e meʻa ko ia foki kuo lahi ʻene taʻofi au, pea kuo ʻikai ai te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu.
23But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
23Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai kei toe haʻaku potu ʻi he ngaahi fonua ni, pea ʻi heʻeku holi lahi ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu;
24I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
24ʻOka hoko hoku fononga, pea ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga, ʻoka hili ʻeku maʻu ʻae fiemālie siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu.
25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
25Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻalu ki Selūsalema, ke tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni.
26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
26He naʻe lelei kiate kinautolu ʻo Masitōnia mo ʻAkeia ke fai ʻae tānaki koloa maʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻoku masiva ʻi Selūsalema.
27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.
27Kuo nau fai loto lelei eni; pea ko honau kau fai totongi totonu ʻakinautolu. He kapau kuo fakakau ʻae Senitaile ke maʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie, ko ʻenau ngāue totonu ia ke tokoni ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamaama.
28So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
28Ko ia ka hili ʻeku fai eni, pea u fakamaʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae fua ni, te u ʻalu atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki Sepeini.
29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
29Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo, ʻo kau ka aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu, te u ʻalu atu ʻi hono fonu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi.
30Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
30Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻoe Laumālie, ke mou fekuki mo au ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lotu ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au;
31Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,
31Koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi au meiate kinautolu ʻi Siutea ʻoku talangataʻa; pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ngāue ki Selūsalema, ke ʻaonga ia ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni;
32so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
32Pea koeʻuhi ke u aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fiefia ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fakafiemālieʻi au mo kimoutolu.
33The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.
33Pea ko eni, ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe melino. ʻEmeni
