Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh:
1He ko hoku loto ke mou ʻilo ʻae feinga lahi ʻoku ʻiate au kiate kimoutolu, pea kiate kinautolu ʻi Leotisia, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku teʻeki ai te nau mamata ki hoku mata ʻi he sino;
2That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus:
2Koeʻuhi ke fiemālie honau loto, kuo fehokotaki ʻi he ʻofa, ki he koloa kotoa pē ʻoe fakapapau lahi ʻoe ʻilo, ki he fakahā ʻoe meʻa fakalilolilo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae Tamai, pea mo Kalaisi;
3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
3ʻAia ʻoku fufū ai ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻoe poto mo e ʻilo.
4Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words.
4Pea ʻoku ou pehē ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tangata te ne fakahalaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he lea fakaoloolo.
5For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you; rejoicing, and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ.
5He neongo ʻoku ou mamaʻo ʻi he sino, ka ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he laumālie, ʻo fiefia ʻo mamata ki hoʻomou anga fakapotopoto, mo e tuʻumaʻu ʻo hoʻomou tui kia Kalaisi.
6As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him;
6Ko ia ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa Kalaisi Sisu ko e ʻEiki, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻiate ia:
7Rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned, abounding in him in thanksgiving.
7Kuo aka mo langa hake ʻiate ia, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, ʻo hangē ko e akonekina ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou tupulekina ai ʻi he fakafetaʻi.
8Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ:
8Vakai naʻa taki fakahē ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he fiepoto mo e lau fakakākā, ʻoku taau mo e talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ʻo ngali mo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ka ʻoku ʻikai taau mo Kalaisi.
9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally;
9He ʻoku nofo fakamoʻomoʻoni kiate ia hono mātuʻaki fonu ʻoe ʻOtua.
10And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
10Pea ʻoku fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko e ʻulu ʻoe pule kotoa pē mo e mālohi:
11In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ:
11ʻAia naʻe kamu ai foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kamu taʻefai ʻe he nima, ʻi he siʻaki ʻoe sino ʻoe ngaahi angahala fakakakano ʻi he kamu ʻo Kalaisi:
12Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead.
12ʻO tanu mo ia ʻi he papitaiso, ʻaia kuo mou toetuʻu ai mo ia ʻi he tui ʻoku mei he ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia.
13And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences:
13Pea ko kimoutolu, naʻe mate ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala mo e taʻekamu ʻo homou kakano, kuo ne fakamoʻui fakataha mo ia, ʻi heʻene fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi angahala kotoa pē;
14Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross:
14ʻO tāmateʻi ʻi he mate ʻae tohi nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻe tuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻaia naʻe taʻofi kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne toʻo ʻaupito ia ʻo tuki ki hono ʻakau;
15And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.
15Pea ʻosi ʻene maumau ʻae ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi, naʻa ne fakaʻilo fakahā atu ʻakinautolu ʻo vikiviki ai kiate kinautolu.
16Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths,
16Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻe fakaanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi ha meʻakai, pe ha meʻainu, pe ki ha ʻaho kātoanga, pe ʻi ha tuʻu efiafi, pe ʻi he ngaahi Sāpate:
17Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.
17ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻata ʻoe meʻa ʻoku haʻu; ka ko hono sino ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi.
18Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,
18Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻi hoʻomou totongi, ʻi he fie angavaivai mo e lotu ki he kau ʻāngelo, ʻi he kaunoa ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ai, mo e fakafuofua lahi noa pē ia ʻi hono loto fakakakano,
19And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth unto the increase of God.
19Pea ʻoku ʻikai puke maʻu ki he ʻUlu, ʻaia ʻoku maʻu mei ai ʻae tokoni ki he sino kotoa, ʻi he ngaahi kupu mo e noʻo, pea kuo femaʻutaki fakataha, ʻoku tupu ʻi he tupu fakaʻotua.
20If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world?
20Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou mate mo Kalaisi mei he ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ko e hā ʻoku mou moʻulaloa ai ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo hangē ʻoku mou moʻui fakamaama, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻae tangata;
21Touch not, taste not, handle not:
21“ʻOua naʻa ala;” “ʻOua naʻa kamata;” “ʻOua naʻa milihi;”
22Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.
22ʻAia ʻe ʻauha kotoa pē ʻi hono ngāueʻaki?
23Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh.
23Ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻai moʻoni hono matamata poto ʻi he fiefie lotu, mo e angavaivai, pea mo e taʻetokangaʻi ʻoe sino; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga, ka ki he fakafiemālie ʻoe kakano.
