Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1There is now therefore no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh.
1Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakamalaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.
2For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death.
2He ko e fono ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe moʻui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo ne fakatauʻatāina au mei he fono ʻoe angahala mo e mate.
3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh; God sending his own Son, in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh;
3He ko ia naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi hono vaivai ʻi he kakano, kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene fekau hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona ʻi he tatau ʻoe kakano angahala, pea ko e feilaulau ki he angahala, pea ne fakavaivai ʻae angahala ʻi he kakano:
4That the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
4Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono ʻekitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.
5For they that are according to the flesh, mind the things that are of the flesh; but they that are according to the spirit, mind the things that are of the spirit.
5He ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe kakano, ʻoku nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe kakano; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe Laumālie, ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie.
6For the wisdom of the flesh is death; but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace.
6He ko e loto fakakakano, ko e mate ia; ka ko e loto fakalaumālie, ko e moʻui ia mo e melino.
7Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither can it be.
7Koeʻuhi ko e loto fakakakano, ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻulaloa ia ki he fono ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke pehē.
8And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
8Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua.
9But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
9Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he kakano ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻi he Laumālie, ʻo kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ia.
10And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
10Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe Kalaisi, pea kuo mate moʻoni ʻae sino, ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala; kae moʻui ʻae laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
11And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
11Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻo ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu mei he pekia, pea ko ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, te ne fakaake foki mo homou sino matengofua ʻaki hono Laumālie ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu.
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
12Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e kau fai totongi ʻakitautolu, kae ʻikai ki he kakano, ke tau moʻui ki he kakano.
13For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
13He kapau te mou moʻui ki he kakano, te mou mate: ka ʻoka mou ka tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoe kakano ʻaki ʻae Laumālie, te mou moʻui.
14For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
14He ko kinautolu ʻoku takiekina ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻakinautolu ʻoe ʻOtua.
15For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
15He ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe pōpula, ke mou toe manavahē; ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ohi, ʻaia ʻoku tau tangi ai, “ʻApā, Tamai.”
16For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
16Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie pē ko ia mo hotau laumālie, ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu:
17And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
17Pea kapau ko e fānau, pea tā ko e kau hoko; ko e kau hoko ki he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau hoko fakataha mo Kalaisi; ʻo kapau te tau mamahi mo ia, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae hakeakiʻi fakataha mo ia.
18For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come, that shall be revealed in us.
18He ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke fakatatau ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoe moʻui ni ki he nāunau ʻaia ʻe fakahā kiate kitautolu.
19For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
19He ko e holi lahi ʻoe māmani, ʻoku tatali ia ki he fakahā ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
20For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
20He naʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻa māmani ki he vaʻinga, (kae ʻikai loto ia ki ai, ka ko e meʻa ʻiate ia kuo ne fakamoʻulaloa ia,) ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:
21Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
21He koeʻuhi ʻe fakahaofi ʻa māmani mei he haʻi ʻoe ʻauʻauha ki he tauʻatāina monūʻia ʻoe fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
22For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
22He ʻoku tau ʻilo, ʻoku toʻetoʻe mo feinga ʻi he langā fakataha ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki heni.
23And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
23Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ia pē, ka ko kitautolu foki, ʻakitautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻuluaki fua ʻoe Laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku tau toʻetoʻe ʻi loto ʻiate kitautolu, mo tatali ki he ohi, ʻa ia, ko e huhuʻi ʻo hotau sino.
24For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
24He ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻamanaki lelei: ka ko e ʻamanaki ʻoku maʻu, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻamanaki ia, he ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata, ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻa ʻene kei ʻamanaki ki ai?
25But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
25Pea kapau ʻoku tau ʻamanaki lelei ki he meʻa ʻoku heʻeki ai te tau maʻu, ʻoku tau tatali faʻa kātaki pe ki ai.
26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
26Pea ko e Laumālie foki, ʻoku ne tokoniʻi ʻetau ngaahi vaivai: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke tau lotua; ka ʻoku hūfekina ʻakitautolu ʻe he Laumālie pe ko ia ʻi he ngaahi toʻe ʻoku taʻefaʻaleaʻaki.
27And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.
27Ka ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae loto, ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi mo e finangalo ʻoe Laumālie, he ʻoku ne hūfekina ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua.
28And we know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good, to such as, according to his purpose, are called to be saints.
28Pea ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku fengāueʻaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻakinautolu kuo ui ʻo tatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni.
29For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son; that he might be the firstborn amongst many brethren.
29He ko kinautolu naʻa ne tomuʻa ʻilo, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni foki ki he tatau ʻo hono ʻAlo, koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he kāinga tokolahi:
30And whom he predestinated, them he also called. And whom he called, them he also justified. And whom he justified, them he also glorified.
30Pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, naʻa ne ui ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne ui, naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us?
31Pea ko e hā te tau leaʻaki ki he ngaahi meʻa ni? Ka kuo kau ʻae ʻOtua maʻatautolu, pea ko hai ʻe angatuʻu kiate kitautolu?
32He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things?
32Ko ia ia naʻe ʻikai te ne mamae ki hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona, ka ne tukuange ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu kotoa pē, pea fēfē, ʻe ʻikai te ne foaki fiemālie foki mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?
33Who shall accuse against the elect of God? God that justifieth.
33Ko hai te ne talatalaakiʻi ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua? Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi.
34Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died, yea that is risen also again; who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
34Ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakahalaia? Ko Kalaisi ia naʻe pekia, ʻio, pea kuo toetuʻu hake, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae hūfekina foki maʻatautolu.
35Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation? or distress? or famine? or nakedness? or danger? or persecution? or the sword?
35Ko hai te ne fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi? ʻAe mahaki, pe ko e mamahi, pe ko e fakatanga, pe ko e honge, pe ko e telefua, pe ko e tuʻutāmaki, pe ko e heletā?
36(As it is written: For thy sake we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.)
36ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea lau ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ki he tāmateʻi.”
37But in all these things we overcome, because of him that hath loved us.
37Ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku tau ikuna pea mālohi lahi ʻiate ia naʻe ʻofa kiate kitautolu.
38For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might,
38He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau, ʻe ʻikai ʻi he he kau ʻāngelo, pe ʻi he kau pule, pe ʻi he ngaahi mālohi, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
39Pe ʻi he māʻolunga, pe ʻi he māʻulalo, pe ʻi ha meʻa kehe ʻe taha kuo ngaohi, ʻe ʻikai mafai ia ke fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.
