1 Corinthians 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻo hangē ki he fakalaumālie, kae hangē ki he fakakakano, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e kau valevale ʻia Kalaisi.
2I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it , neither yet now are ye able.
2Naʻaku fafangaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae kakano; he naʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa tali ia, pea kuo hoko eni, ʻoku ʻikai foki te mou faʻa tali ia.
3For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
3He ʻoku mou kei fakakakano: he ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae femehekaʻaki, mo e fakakikihi, mo e mavahevahe, ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano, pea felakaʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he tangata?
4For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
4Koeʻuhi ʻoku lolotonga ʻae pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo Paula au;” pea pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo ʻApolosi au;” ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano pe?
5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
5Pea ko hai ai ʻa Paula, pea ko hai ai ʻa ʻApolosi, ka ko e ongo tamaioʻeiki naʻa mou tui ai, ʻio, ʻo taau mo ia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ki he tangata taki taha.
6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
6Naʻaku tō ʻeau, pea fakaviviku ʻe ʻApolosi; ka ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne foaki hono tupu.
7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
7Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tō, pe ko ia ʻoku fakaviviku; ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne foaki hono tupu.
8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
8Ko eni, ko ia ʻoku tō mo ia ʻoku fakaviviku ʻoku taha pe: pea ʻe taki taha maʻu ʻene totongi ʻaʻana ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngāue.
9For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
9He ko e kaunga ngāue ʻakimautolu mo e ʻOtua: ko e ngāue ʻae ʻOtua mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.
10According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
10ʻO fakatatau mo e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kuo foaki kiate au, kuo u ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo ngali mo e tufunga poto, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe ha tokotaha. Ka ke taki taha vakai pe ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻene fokotuʻu ki ai.
11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa ʻai ha tuʻunga kehe, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻai, ʻaia ko Sisu Kalaisi.
12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
12Pea kapau ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha ki he tuʻunga ni, ha koula, pe siliva, pe ha ngaahi maka koloa, pe ko e ʻakau, pe ko e mohuku, pe ko e tefitoʻi kaho;
13Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
13ʻE fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē taki taha: koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻilo ia ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ʻe fakahā ia ʻe he afi; pea ʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he afi ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē pe ko e hā hono anga.
14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
14Kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngāue ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha, te ne maʻu ʻae totongi.
15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
15Kapau ʻe vela ʻae ngāue ʻa ha taha, ʻe masiva ai ia: pea ʻe fakamoʻui pe ia; ka ʻe hangē ha hao mei he afi.
16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?
17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
17Kapau ʻe maumau ʻe ha taha ʻae faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua; ʻe maumau ia e he ʻOtua; he ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, pea ko e fale tapu ko ia ʻakimoutolu.
18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
18ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ha taha ʻe ia. Kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ongoongo ko e poto ia ʻi māmani, tuku ke lau ia ko e vale koeʻuhi kae lau ia ko e poto.
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
19He ko e poto ʻo māmani, ko e vale ia ki he ʻOtua. He kuo tohi, “ʻOku ne moʻua ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fie poto.”
20And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
20Pea pehē foki, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe poto, ko e vaʻinga ia.”
21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
21Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha taha ʻi he tangata. He ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē;
22Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
22Pe ko Paula, pe ko ʻApolosi, pe ko Kifasi, pe ko e māmani, pe ko e moʻui, pe ko e mate, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻe haʻu; ʻoku ʻamoutolu kotoa pe;
23And ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
23Pea ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi.
