King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
1ʻOua naʻa ke valoki kakaha ki ha motuʻa, kae fakakolekolea, ʻo hangē ki ha tamai; pea ki he kau talavou ʻo taau mo e ngaahi kāinga;
2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
2Lea ki he kau finemātuʻa ʻo taau mo e faʻē; mo e kau finemui ʻo taau mo e ngaahi tuofefine, ʻi he angamaʻa kotoa pē.
3Honour widows that are widows indeed.
3Tauhi ki he kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻakinautolu ʻoku masiva moʻoni.
4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
4Pea kapau ʻoku ai ha fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti ʻoku ai ʻene fānau pe mokopuna, tuku ke nau fuofua fakahā ʻenau anga fakalotu ʻi ʻapi, pea totongi lelei ki heʻenau mātuʻa: he ʻoku lelei pea mālie ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
5Pea ko eni, ko e fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti, pea paea moʻoni, ʻoku falala ia ki he ʻOtua, pea fai maʻu pe ʻene kole tāumaʻu mo e lotu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho.
6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
6Ka ko ia ʻoku moʻui ki he fiemālie fakakakano, ʻoku mate ia ʻi he lolotonga ʻene moʻui.
7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
7Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ke ke fekauʻaki koeʻuhi ke nau taʻehalaia.
8But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
8He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tokonaki ʻe ha tokotaha ki hono kāinga, pea kiate kinautolu tonu ʻi hono fale, kuo siʻaki ʻe ia ʻae lotu, pea lahi hake ʻene kovi ʻaʻana ʻiate ia ʻoku taʻelotu.
9Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
9Ke ʻoua naʻa fili ki he fakataha ha fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti ʻoku teʻeki ai onongofulu taʻu ʻene motuʻa, naʻe mali ia ki he tangata pe taha,
10Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
10Kuo fakaongolelei ia ʻi he ngaahi ngaue lelei; ʻo kapau naʻa ne tauhi fānau ʻo kapau naʻa ne fakaafe ʻae kakai fononga, kapau naʻa ne fufulu ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni, kapau naʻa ne tokoni ki he kakai mahaki, kapau naʻa ne faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē
11But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
11Kae tuku pe ʻae kau finemui kuo mate honau husepāniti; he ʻoka nau ka taʻeanganofo kia Kalaisi, pea te nau fie mali;
12Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
12ʻO nau halaia ai, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau liʻaki ʻenau fuofua tui.
13And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
13Kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku nau fai fakapikopiko, ʻo feʻaluʻaki fano pe ʻi he fale ki he fale; pea ʻikai ngata ʻi he fakapikopiko, ka koe kau fakalanga lau foki ʻo kaunoa, ʻonau lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu.
14I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
14Ko ia ko hoku loto ke mali ʻae kau finemui, pea fānau, mo tauhi ʻae fale, pea ʻoua naʻa ai ha tuʻunga ki he lea manuki ʻoe fili.
15For some are already turned aside after Satan.
15He kuo afe ʻeni ʻae niʻihi ʻo muimui ʻia Sētane.
16If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
16Kapau ʻoku kāinga ha tangata pe ha fefine ʻoku tui, ki ha kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, tuku ke nau tauhi ʻakinautolu, kaeʻoua naʻa fakamāfasia
17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
17ʻIlonga ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoku pule lelei, ke ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa lahi, kae lahi hake kiate kinautolu ʻoku ngaue ʻi he folofola mo e akonaki.
18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
18He ʻoku pehē ʻae tohi, “ʻOua naʻa ke nonoʻo ʻae ngutu ʻoe pulu ʻoku ne molomoloki ʻae uite.” Pea, “ʻOku taau mo e tangata ngaue hano tauhi.”
19Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
19ʻOua naʻa ke tali ha fakaʻilo kovi ki ha motuʻa, ka ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua, pe toko tolu.
20Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
20Ko kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala, valoki fakahā pe, ke manavahē ai ʻae niʻihi.
21I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
21ʻOku ou fekau ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo e kau ʻāngelo kuo fili, ke ke tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo taʻefilifilimānako ki ha taha ʻae taha ʻi he filifilimānako.
22Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.
22ʻOua naʻa ke hilifaki nima fakavave ki ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pea ʻoua naʻa ke kau ki he angahala ʻoe kakai: ke ke tauhi koe ke ke maʻa.
23Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
23ʻOua naʻa ke kei inu vai pe , ka ke ʻai ʻae uaine siʻi, telia ho fatu mo hoʻo faʻa mahamahaki.
24Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
24ʻOku tomuʻa hā ʻae angahala ʻae kakai niʻihi, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he fakamaau; ka ʻoku muimui pe ʻi he niʻihi.
25Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise can not be hid.
25Pea ʻoku pehē foki ʻoku tomuʻa hā mai ʻae ngaahi ngaue lelei ʻae niʻihi; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai pehē, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fufū ia.
