Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, pleasing unto God, your reasonable service.
1Ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou kole ai kiate kimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaloʻofa ongongofua ʻae ʻOtua, ke mou ʻatu homou sino ko e feilaulau moʻui, mo māʻoniʻoni, mo lelei ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ko e ngāue ʻoku taau mo kimoutolu ke fai.
2And be not conformed to this world; but be reformed in the newness of your mind, that you may prove what is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect will of God.
2Pea ʻoua naʻa fakatatau ʻakimoutolu ki he māmani: ka ke mātuʻaki liliu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fakafoʻou ʻo homou ʻatamai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo pau ʻae finangalo ko ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻa hono lelei, mo hono ʻaonga, mo hono haohaoa.
3For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety, and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith.
3He ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, ʻoku ou tala atu ai ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ke ʻoua naʻa lelei lahi ʻene mahalo kiate ia he mahalo ʻoku totonu; ka ke mahalo fakapotopoto, ʻo fakatatau ki hono lahi ʻoe tui kuo vaheʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ki he tangata taki taha.
4For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office:
4He ʻoku hangē ʻoku ʻi hotau sino pe taha ʻae ngaahi kupu lahi, ka ʻoku ʻikai fai ʻae ngāue tatau pē ʻe he kupu kotoa pē:
5So we being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
5ʻOku pehē foki ʻakitautolu, ko e tokolahi, ka ko e sino pe taha ʻia Kalaisi, pea ʻoku tau feʻaongaʻaki fakataha ʻae kupu kotoa pē.
6And having different gifts, according to the grace that is given us, either prophecy, to be used according to the rule of faith;
6Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki ʻoku fai kehekehe, ʻo taau mo e ʻofa kuo foaki kiate kitautolu, kapau ko e kikite, tau fai ia ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻoe tui;
7Or ministry, in ministering; or he that teacheth, in doctrine;
7Pe ko e tauhi, tau fai ʻae tauhi: pe ko ia ʻoku akonaki, ke fai ʻene akonaki;
8He that exhorteth, in exhorting; he that giveth, with simplicity; he that ruleth, with carefulness; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
8Pe ko ia ʻoku ekinaki, ke ne ekinaki: ko ia ʻoku foaki, ke fai ia ʻo angatonu; ko ia ʻoku pule, ke faʻa fai ia ; ko ia ʻoku fai ʻofa, ke fai ʻi he fiefie fai.
9Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good.
9Ke taʻemalualoi ʻae ʻofa. Fehiʻa ki he meʻa ʻoku kovi; piki maʻu ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei.
10Loving one another with the charity of brotherhood, with honour preventing one another.
10Ke mou feʻofaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa fakakāinga; ʻo mou felotoleleiʻaki ʻi he fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki kiate kimoutolu;
11In carefulness not slothful. In spirit fervent. Serving the Lord.
11ʻOua naʻa fakapikopiko ʻi he ngāue: ka mou loto vela; ʻo tauhi ki he ʻEiki;
12Rejoicing in hope. Patient in tribulation. Instant in prayer.
12ʻO fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei; pea faʻa kātaki ʻi he mamahi; pea fai maʻu ʻo fakakukafi ʻi he lotu;
13Communicating to the necessities of the saints. Pursuing hospitality.
13Tufaki ki he masiva ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni; tuli ki he angaʻofa.
14Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not.
14Tāpuaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakatanga kimoutolu: tāpuakiʻi, pea ʻoua naʻa kapea.
15Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep.
15Fiefia mo kinautolu ʻoku fiefia, pea tangi mo kinautolu ʻoku tangi.
16Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.
16Ke felototahaʻaki ʻakimoutolu. ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻolunga, kae tataki ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻulalo. Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fiepoto ʻiate kimoutolu.
17To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God, but also in the sight of all men.
17ʻOua naʻa totongi ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae kovi ki ha taha. Fifili ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
18If it be possible, as much as is in you, have peace with all men.
18Pea kapau ʻe faʻa lavaʻi, mou moʻui melino pē mo e kakai kotoa pē.
19Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.
19ʻAe kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa mou fai ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ka mou fakaʻataʻatā ki he houhau: he kuo tohi, “ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae totongi; ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki,” te u totongi pē ʻeau.
20But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
20Ko ia, “Kapau ʻoku fiekaia ho fili, fafanga ia; kapau ʻoku fieinu, ʻatu ha inu kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻo fai pehē, te ke fokotuʻu ʻae malalaʻi afi ki hono ʻulu.”
21Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good.
21ʻOua naʻa ikuna koe ʻe he kovi, kae ikuna ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae lelei.
