Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven.
1He ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoka veteki homau fale kelekele, ko e fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku ai homau fale mei he ʻOtua, ko e fale naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻe he nima, ʻoku taʻengata, ʻi he langi.
2For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven.
2He ʻoku māpuhoi ʻi heni, ʻo holi lahi ke mau kofuʻaki homau fale ʻaia ʻoku mei he langi:
3Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked.
3He koeʻuhi ʻi heʻemau kofuʻia, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiloa ʻoku mau telefua.
4For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
4He ko kimautolu ʻoku ʻi he fale fehikitaki ni, ʻoku māpuhoi, kuo māfasia: kae ʻikai koeʻuhi ke mau taʻekofuʻia, kae kofuʻaki, koeʻuhi ke folo hifo ʻae matengofua ʻi he moʻui.
5Now he that maketh us for this very thing, is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit.
5Pea ko ia kuo ne ngaohi ʻakimautolu ki he meʻa ko eni, ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia kuo ne foaki foki kiate kimautolu hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie.
6Therefore having always confidence, knowing that, while we are in the body, we are absent from the Lord.
6Ko ia ʻoku mau lototoʻa maʻuaipē, ʻo ʻilo, lolotonga ʻemau ʻi heni ʻi he sino, ʻoku mau nofo kehekehe mo e ʻEiki:
7(For we walk by faith, and not by sight.)
7(He ʻoku mau ʻaʻeva ʻi he tui, kae ʻikai ʻi he mamata:)
8But we are confident, and have a good will to be absent rather from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
8ʻOku mau lototoʻa, pea holi ke hiki muʻa mei he sino, ka mau nonofo mo e ʻEiki:
9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him.
9Ko ia ʻoku mau holi ai, koeʻuhi, ka mau ka ʻi heni pe mamaʻo atu, ke lelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia.
10For we must all be manifested before the judgement seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
10He kuo pau ʻe fakahā ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe nofoʻanga fakamaau ʻo Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ke maʻu taki taha kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi he sino, pe ko ha lelei ia pe ko ha kovi.
11Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we use persuasion to men; but to God we are manifest. And I trust also that in your consciences we are manifest.
11Ko ia ʻi he ʻemau ʻilo ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fakalotoʻi ʻae kakai; ka kuo fakahā atu ʻakimautolu ki he ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ou pehē, kuo fakahā atu ki homou loto foki.
12We commend not ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to glory in our behalf; that you may have somewhat to answer them who glory in face, and not in heart.
12He ʻoku ʻikai te mau toe fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu, kae tuku ke mou vikiviki koeʻuhi ko kimautolu, pea ke mou maʻu ha tali kiate kinautolu ʻoku vikiviki fakamamata, kae ʻikai ʻi he loto.
13For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God; or whether we be sober, it is for you.
13He kapau kuo mau vale, ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua pe: pea kapau ʻoku mau poto, ko e meʻa ia kiate kimoutolu.
14For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead.
14He ʻoku fakafeingaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi; he ʻoku pehē homau loto, kapau naʻe pekia ʻae tokotaha koeʻuhi ko e kakai kotoa pē, pea tā naʻe mate kotoa pē:
15And Christ died for all; that they also who live, may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them, and rose again.
15Pea naʻe pekia ia maʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko kinautolu ʻoku moʻui, ke ʻoua naʻa nau toe moʻui kiate kinautolu, ka kiate ia naʻe pekia maʻanautolu, pea toetuʻu hake.
16Wherefore henceforth, we know no man according to the flesh. And if we have known Christ according to the flesh; but now we know him so no longer.
16Ko ia ʻoku ngata heni, ʻoku ʻikai te mau ʻilo fakakakano pe ha tokotaha: ʻio, naʻa mo Kalaisi, kapau naʻa mau ʻilo fakakakano ia, kuo ngata, ʻoku ʻikai te mau kei ʻilo pehē ia.
17If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.
17Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha taha, ko e fakatupu foʻou ia: kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa motuʻa; vakai, kuo hoko ʻo foʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
18But all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Christ; and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
18Pea ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne fakalelei ʻakimautolu kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakamatala ʻoe fakalelei;
19For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins; and he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation.
19Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻia Kalaisi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakalelei ʻa māmani kiate ia, ʻo ʻikai lau kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi fai hala; pea kuo ne tuku kiate kimautolu ʻae fakaongoongo ʻoe fakalelei.
20For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us. For Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God.
20Pea ko eni, ko e kau faifekau ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ʻoku fakakolekole ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu: ʻoku mau kole ko e fetongi ʻo Kalaisi, mou fakalelei mo e ʻOtua.
21Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us, that we might be made the justice of God in him.
21He naʻa ne ngaohi ia, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai haʻane angahala, koe feilaulau ʻi he angahala koeʻuhi ko kitautolu; kae hoko ai ʻakitautolu ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate ia.
