Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand;
1Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia naʻaku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia foki kuo mou maʻu, pea ʻoku mou tuʻu ai;
2By which also you are saved, if you hold fast after what manner I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain.
2ʻAia kuo fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou manatuʻi ʻaia ne u malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou tui noa pē.
3For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures:
3He ko e ʻuluaki ʻoe meʻa naʻaku ʻaʻau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu foki, Ko e pekia ʻa Kalaisi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures:
4Pea naʻe fai ia, pea naʻe toetuʻu hake ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi:
5And that he was seen by Cephas; and after that by the eleven.
5Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻa Kifasi, pea mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua:
6Then he was seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep.
6Hili ia, pea mamata fakataha kiate ia ʻae kāinga ʻe toko nimangeau tupu; pea ʻoku kei moʻui honau tokolahi, ka kuo tō ʻo mohe ʻae niʻihi.
7After that, he was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
7Hili ia, naʻe mamata ʻa Semisi kiate ia, pea hoko mo e kau ʻaposetolo kotoa pē.
8And last of all, he was seen also by me, as by one born out of due time.
8Pea ne u mamata fakamui foki ʻeau kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fānau taʻehoko.
9For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
9He ko e siʻi taha pe au ʻi he kau ʻaposetolo, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ui au ko e ʻaposetolo, koeʻuhi naʻaku fakatanga ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
10But by the grace of God, I am what I am; and his grace in me hath not been void, but I have laboured more abundantly than all they: yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
10Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ou pehē ni ai au: pea ko ʻene ʻofa kiate au, naʻe ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia; ka naʻaku ngāue lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai ko au, ka ko e tokoni mei he ʻOtua naʻe ʻiate au.
11For whether I, or they, so we preach, and so you have believed.
11Pea ko ia kapau ko au, pe ko kinautolu, ka ʻoku pehē pe ʻemau malanga, pea pehē pe hoʻomou tui.
12Now if Christ be preached, that he arose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
12Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi mo ʻene toetuʻu mei he pekia, ʻoku fēfē ʻae pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu ʻoe mate?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again.
13He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu mei he mate, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi:
14And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
14Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻemau malanga, pea taʻeʻaonga mo hoʻomou tui foki.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that he hath raised up Christ; whom he hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again.
15ʻIo, pea kuo ʻilo ʻakimautolu ko e fakamoʻoni loi ki he ʻOtua; he kuo mau fakapapau mei he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene fokotuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi: ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fokotuʻu hake, ʻo kapau ko eni ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate.
16For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again.
16He kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻae mate pea kuo ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi:
17And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins.
17Pea kapau kuo ʻikai tuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga hoʻomou tui; ʻoku mou kei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
18Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished.
18Pea ko kinautolu foki kuo mohe ʻia Kalaisi, kuo nau ʻauha.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
19Kapau ʻoku ngata ki he moʻui ni ʻetau ʻamanaki lelei ki ai, ko e malaʻia lahi taha pe ʻakitautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
20But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
20Ka ko eni, kuo toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻokinautolu naʻe mohe.
21For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
21He ko e meʻa ʻi he tangata naʻe hoko ai ʻae mate, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he tangata foki ʻae toetuʻu ʻoe mate.
22And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
22He ʻoku hangē ʻoku mate kotoa pē ʻia ʻAtama, ʻe pehē foki ʻe moʻui kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi.
23But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
23Ka ko e tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi hono lakanga: ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻa Kalaisi; pea hoko mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene haʻu.
24Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
24Pea ʻe toki hoko ʻae ikuʻanga, ʻaia te ne ʻatu ai ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai; hili ʻene ikuna ʻae pule kotoa pē, mo e fekau kotoa pe, mo e mālohi.
25For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
25He kuo pau pe ke pule ia, kaeʻoua ke ne tuku ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.
26And the enemy death shall be destroyed last: For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith,
26Ko e fili fakamui ʻe fakaʻauha, ko e mate.
27All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him.
27“He kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.” Ka ʻi heʻene pehē, kuo fakamoʻulaloa ʻae “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻoku ʻilongofua pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself shall be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
28Pea ka ʻosi hono fakavaivai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻe toki anganofo ʻae Foha kiate ia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke tāfataha pe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
29Otherwise what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? why are they then baptized for them?
29Kae ʻikai, pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻekinautolu kuo papitaiso ki he mate, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toetuʻu ʻae mate? Ko e hā ʻoku papitaiso ai ʻakinautolu ki he mate?
30Why also are we in danger every hour?
30Pea ko e hā ʻoku tau tuʻutuʻutāmaki ai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā kotoa pē?
31I die daily, I protest by your glory, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
31ʻOku ou fakahā ʻi hoʻomou fiefia ʻaia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ou mate ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
32If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
32He kapau, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata, kuo u tau mo e fanga manu ʻi ʻEfesō, ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate au, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate? “Ke tau kai mo inu; he te tau mate ʻapongipongi.”
33Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners.
33ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: “Ko e ngaahi talanoa kovi ʻoku fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoku lelei.”
34Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God, I speak it to your shame.
34ʻA hake ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala; he ʻoku teʻeki maʻu ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ia ko hoʻomou fakamā.
35But some man will say: How do the dead rise again? or with what manner of body shall they come?
35Ka ʻe pehē nai ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻE fēfē hono fokotuʻu ʻoe mate? Pea ʻi he sino fē te nau haʻu?”
36Senseless man, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die first.
36Ko e vale koe, ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi ʻoku ʻikai fakaake ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke mate:
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be; but bare grain, as of wheat, or of some of the rest.
37Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ʻae sino ko ia ʻe tupu, ka ko e foʻi tenga ko ha foʻi tenga kehe:
38But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
38Ka ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua hono sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia, pea ki he tenga taki taha hono sino ʻoʻona.
39All flesh is not the same flesh: but one is the flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes.
39ʻOku ʻikai ko e kakano tatau pe ʻae kakano kotoa pē: he ʻoku ai ʻae kakano ko e taha ʻoe tangata, ko e kakano ʻe taha ʻoe fanga manu, ko e taha kehe ʻoe ngaahi ika, mo e taha kehe ʻoe fanga manupuna.
40And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but, one is the glory of the celestial, and another of the terrestrial.
40Pea ʻoku ai foki ʻae ngaahi sino fakalangi, mo e ngaahi sino fakamaama: ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae nāunau ʻoe fakalangi, pea ko e fakamaama ʻoku taha kehe ia.
41One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.
41He ʻoku ai ʻae nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe laʻā, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe māhina, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu: he ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻi he nāunau ʻae fetuʻu ʻe taha ki he fetuʻu ʻe taha.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it shall rise in incorruption.
42Pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻae toetuʻu ʻae mate. ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he ʻauʻauha: ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi he taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha:
43It is sown in dishonour, it shall rise in glory. It is sown in weakness, it shall rise in power.
43ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he fakalielia; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia mo e nāunau: ʻoku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he vaivai; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia ʻi he mālohi:
44It is sown a natural body, it shall rise a spiritual body. If there be a natural body, there is also a spiritual body, as it is written:
44ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia koe sino fakakakano; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia koe sino fakalaumālie. ʻOku ai ʻae sino fakakakano, pea ʻoku ai mo e sino fakalaumālie.
45The first man Adam was made into a living soul; the last Adam into a quickening spirit.
45Pea kuo tohi ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻuluaki tangata ko ʻAtama naʻe ngaohi ia ko e laumālie moʻui;” ko e ʻAtama fakamui ko e laumālie fakamoʻui.
46Yet that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; afterwards that which is spiritual.
46Ka naʻe ʻikai muʻomuʻa ʻaia ʻoku laumālie ka ko ia ʻoku fakakakano; kae toki hoko ʻaia ʻoku fakalaumālie.
47The first man was of the earth, earthly: the second man, from heaven, heavenly.
47Ko e ʻuluaki tangata, ʻoku mei he kelekele, ʻoku kelekeleʻia: ko hono ua ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻEiki mei he langi.
48Such as is the earthly, such also are the earthly: and such as is the heavenly, such also are they that are heavenly.
48Hangē ko e kelekeleʻia, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kelekeleʻia: pea hangē ko ia ʻoku mei he langi, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakalangi.
49Therefore as we have borne the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly.
49Pea hangē ko e tau ʻi he tatau ʻo ia ʻoku mei he langi.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
50Pea ʻoku ou tala eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he kakano mo e toto ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he ʻauʻauha ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha.
51Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed.
51Vakai, ʻoku ou fakahā ha meʻa fufū kiate kimoutolu; ʻE ʻikai te tau mohe kotoa pē, ka te tau liliu kotoa pē,
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed.
52ʻI he fakafokifā ʻi he kemo ʻoe mata, ʻi he pā fakamui ʻoe meʻa lea: koeʻuhi ʻe pā mai ia, pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake ai ʻae mate, ʻo taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ʻe liliu ai ʻakitautolu.
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality.
53He kuo pau ke ʻai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni, ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ke ai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate
54And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
54Ko ia, pea ka ʻosi hono ai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, mo e ʻai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate, ʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi, “Kuo folo hifo ʻae mate ʻe he mālohi.”
55O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?
55“ʻE mate, kofaʻā haʻo huhu? ʻE faʻitoka, kofaʻā hoʻo mālohi?”
56Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law.
56Ko e huhu ʻoe mate ko e angahala; pea ko e mālohi ʻoe angahala ko e fono.
57But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
57Kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke tau mālohi ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
58Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke tupulekina maʻuaipē ʻi he ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, he ʻoku mou ʻilo ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻi he ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia.
