Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts.
1Ko ia ʻoku vaivai ʻi he tui mou maʻu, kae ʻikai ʻi he fakakikihi taʻeʻaonga.
2For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs.
2He ʻoku tui ʻae tokotaha ʻoku ngofua ʻene kai ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: ka ko e tokotaha ʻoku vaivai, ʻoku kai mei he ngoue pē .
3Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him.
3Ke ʻoua naʻa manuki ʻaia ʻoku kai kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai kai; pea ʻoua naʻa fakamaau ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai kai kiate ia ʻoku kai: he kuo maʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
4Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand.
4Ko hai koe, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae tangata kehe? ʻOku ʻi heʻene ʻeiki pē ʻaʻana ʻa ʻene tuʻu pe hinga. ʻIo, ʻe poupou hake ia: he ʻoku mafai ʻe he ʻOtua ke fakatuʻumaʻu ia.
5For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day: let every man abound in his own sense.
5ʻOku manako ʻe he tangata ʻe taha ki he ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha: ka ko e taha kehe ʻoku manako pē ia ki he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ke fifili pau pē ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi hono loto ʻoʻona.
6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth, eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.
6Ko ia ʻoku ne tokanga ki he ʻaho, ʻoku ne tokanga ki ai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai ia koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki. Ko ia ʻoku kai, ʻoku ne kai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne kai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne kai koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki, pea ʻoku ne ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua.
7For none of us liveth to himself; and no man dieth to himself.
7He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku moʻui kiate ia pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku mate kiate ia pē.
8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live, or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.
8He kapau ʻoku tau moʻui, ʻoku tau moʻui ki he ʻEiki; pea kapau ʻoku tau mate, ʻoku tau mate ki he ʻEiki: ko ia, ka tau ka moʻui, pe mate, ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻakitautolu.
9For to this end Christ died and rose again; that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
9He ko eni ʻae meʻa naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi, mo toetuʻu, ʻo toe moʻui, koeʻuhi ke ʻEiki ia ki he mate mo e moʻui.
10But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
10Ka ko e hā ʻoku ke fakamaau ai ho tokoua? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke manuki ai ki ho tokoua? He te tau tutuʻu kotoa pē ʻi he fakamaauʻanga ʻo Kalaisi.
11For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
11He kuo tohi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, Ko au ʻoku ou moʻui, ʻe peluki ʻae tui kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻe vete ʻae ʻelelo kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua.”
12Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself.
12Ko ia te tau fakamatala atu taki taha kotoa pē ia ki he ʻOtua.
13Let us not therefore judge one another any more. But judge this rather, that you put not a stumblingblock or a scandal in your brother’s way.
13Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tau kei fefakamaauʻaki ʻakitautolu: kae fakamaau muʻa eni, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻai ʻe ha taha ha tūkiaʻanga pe ha meʻa ke fakahinga ʻaki ʻa hono tokoua.
14I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
14ʻOku ou ʻilo, pea kuo u maʻu pau mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa tuʻungaʻa pē: ka ko ia ʻoku ne lau ha meʻa ko e taʻemaʻa, ʻoku taʻemaʻa ia kiate ia.
15For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
15Pea kapau ʻoku mamahi ho tokoua koeʻuhi ko e meʻakai, ʻoku ʻikai ai te ke laka ʻo taau mo e ʻofa. ʻOua naʻa ke fakaʻauha ia ʻaki hoʻo meʻakai, ʻaia naʻe pekia ai ʻa Kalaisi.
16Let not then our good be evil spoken of.
16Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke lauʻikoviʻi ʻa hoʻomou lelei.
17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
17He ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻakai pe ko e inu; ka ko e māʻoniʻoni, mo e melino, mo e fiefia ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
18For he that in this serveth Christ, pleaseth God, and is approved of men.
18Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ʻa Kalaisi ʻi ʻaonga ia ki he ʻOtua, pea lelei ki he kakai.
19Therefore let us follow after the things that are of peace; and keep the things that are of edification one towards another.
19Ko ia ke tau tuli ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamelino, mo e ngaahi meʻa te tau felangaʻaki hake ai ʻakitautolu.
20Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
20ʻOua naʻa ke maumau ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko e meʻakai. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; ka ko e kovi ia ki he tangata ko ia ʻoku ne kai ke fakahalaʻi.
21It is good not to eat flesh, and not to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother is offended, or scandalized, or made weak.
21ʻOku lelei ke ʻoua naʻa kai kakano, pe inu uaine, pe fai ha meʻa ʻe humu ai ho tokoua, pe tūkia ai, pe vaivai ai.
22Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he that condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth.
22ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae tui? Maʻu ia kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua. ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku ʻikai ke valokiʻi ia ʻe hono loto ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ne fai.
23But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin.
23Ka ko ia ʻoku lotolotoua, ʻoku halaia ia, ʻo kapau te ne kai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai kai ia ʻi he tui: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tui, ko e angahala ia.
