Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
1Ke pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoku moʻulaloa ki he haʻamonga, ʻoku totonu ke tuku ki honau houʻeiki ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa kotoa pē, telia naʻa fakaongokovi ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua mo ʻene akonaki.
2But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
2Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ai honau ʻeiki ʻoku tui, ʻoua naʻa nau taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ki ai, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau kāinga; ka ke ʻāsili ai ʻenau ngaue, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau angatonu mo ʻofeina, ʻonau kau ʻi he lelei. Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ke ke ako mo enginaki ʻaki.
3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
3Kapau ʻoku ako kehe ʻe ha taha, pea ʻikai loto ia ki he ngaahi lea lelei, ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea ki he akonaki ʻaia ʻoku taau mo e angafakaʻotua;
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
4ʻOku fielahi ia, ʻo taʻeʻilo ha meʻa, ka ʻoku mahaki ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi mo e ngaahi fakakikihi lea, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae meheka, mo e fekeʻikeʻi, mo e felauʻikoviʻaki, mo e femahalokoviʻaki.
5Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
5Mo e fefakakikihikoviʻaki ʻae kau tangata loto kovi, pea taʻemaʻu ʻae moʻoni, ʻoku nau mahalo ko ia ʻe koloaʻia ai ko e lotu ia; ke ke mavahe koe mei he kakai pehē.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6Ka ko e angafakaʻotua mo e loto fiemālie, ko e koloa lahi ia.
7For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
7He naʻe ʻikai te tau omi ha meʻa ki he māmani, pea kuo pau ʻe ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻave ai ha meʻa.
8But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
8Pea ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae meʻakai mo e kofu ke tau fiemālie ai.
9For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
9Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku holi ke koloaʻia, ʻoku nau tō ki he ʻahiʻahi mo e tauhele, mo e ngaahi holi vale lahi mo fakamamahi, ʻaia ʻoku lōmakiʻi ʻae kakai ki he malaʻia mo e mate fakaʻauha.
10For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
10He ko e ʻofa ki he koloa, ko e tefito ia ʻoe kovi kotoa pē: ʻaia ʻi he manumanu feinga ki ai ʻae niʻihi, kuo nau hē mei he tui, pea kuo nau hokahokaʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi mamahi lahi.
11But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
11Ka ko koe, ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, puna mei he ngaahi meʻa ni; pea ke tuli ki he māʻoniʻoni, mo e angafakaʻotua, mo e tui, mo e ʻofa, mo e faʻa kātaki, mo e angavaivai.
12Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
12Tau ʻae tau lelei ʻoe tui, puke ke maʻu ʻae moʻui taʻengata, ʻaia kuo ui foki koe ki ai, pea kuo ke fakahā ʻae fakamoʻoni lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakamoʻoni tokolahi.
13I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
13ʻOku ou fekau kiate koe, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakaake ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, mo e ʻao ʻo Kalaisi Sisu, ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Ponito Pailato ʻae fakahā lelei;
14That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14Ke ke tauhi ʻae fekau ni ʻo taʻemele, pea taʻevalokia, ʻo aʻu ki he fakahā mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi:
15Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
15ʻAia te ne fakahā ʻi hono kuonga ʻoʻona, ko e ʻEiki monūʻia, mo taha pe, ko e Tuʻi ki he ngaahi tui, mo e ʻEiki ki he ngaahi ʻeiki;
16Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.
16ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai tokotaha pe ʻae taʻefaʻamate, ʻoku nofoʻia ʻe ia ʻae maama taʻefaʻafotuaki; ʻaia kuo teʻeki mamata ki ai ha tangata, pea ʻikai siʻi te ne faʻa mamata ki ai: ke ʻiate ia ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa mo e mālohi ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
17Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
17Fekau kiate kinautolu ʻoku koloaʻia ʻi māmani, ke ʻoua naʻa nau loto viki, pe falala ki he koloa tolu ke tau fiemālie ai;
18To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
18Ke nau fai lelei, ke lahi ʻenau ngaahi ngaue lelei, ʻo fie tufaki, ʻo anga fie tokoni;
19To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
19Pea nau tokonaki maʻanautolu ʻae tuʻunga lelei ki he kuonga ʻe hoko, koeʻuhi ke nau puke ki he moʻui taʻengata.
20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
20E Timote, ke ke puke ʻaia kuo tuku kiate koe ke tauhi, mo ke tapu ʻi he ngaahi papūnoa mo launoa, mo e akonaki angatuʻu, ʻoku ui loi pe “ko e poto.”
21Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
21ʻAia ʻi he tokanga ki ai ʻae niʻihi, kuo nau hē mei he tui. Ke ʻiate koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
