Colossians 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
1Pea kapau kuo mou toetuʻu mo Kalaisi, mou kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ki ai ʻa Kalaisi ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua.
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
2Mou faʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi ʻolunga, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi māmani.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3He kuo mou mate, pea ʻoku fufū hoʻomou moʻui mo Kalaisi ʻi he ʻOtua.
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
4ʻOka fakahā mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko ʻetau moʻuiʻanga, te mou toki hā ai mo ia foki ʻi he nāunau.
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
5Ko ia mou tāmateʻi homou ngaahi kupu ʻoku ʻi māmani; ko e feʻauaki, mo e ngāue ʻuli, mo e fakalielia, mo e holi kovi, mo e manumanu, ʻaia ko e tauhi tamapua:
6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
6He koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku hoko ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fānau talangataʻa:
7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
7ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai foki ʻi muʻa, ʻi hoʻomou moʻui ki ai.
8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
8Ka ko eni ʻoku mou siʻaki ʻa eni kotoa pē foki; ʻae ʻita, mo e lili, mo e fakafasifasi, mo e kapekape, mo e lea ʻuli mei homou ngutu.
9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
9ʻOua naʻa mou felohiʻaki, he kuo mou siʻaki ʻae tangata motuʻa mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue;
10And have put on the new man , which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
10Pea kuo mou ʻai ʻa e tangata foʻou, ʻaia kuo fakafoʻou ʻi he ʻilo, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tatau ʻo ia naʻa ne fakatupu ia:
11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
11ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha Kiliki pe ha Siu, ha kamu pe ha taʻekamu, ha muli, pe ha Sitia, ha pōpula, pe ha tauʻatāina: ka ko hono kātoa kotoa ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
12Ko ia ko kimoutolu, ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻofeina, mou ai, ʻo taau mo e kakai fili ʻae ʻOtua, ʻae manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, mo e loto angavaivai, mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa;
13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
13ʻO fetoutou fekātakiʻaki pe, mo fefakamolemoleʻaki pe, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku koviʻia ia ki ha taha: ʻo hangē ko e fakamolemole ʻe Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ke pehē pe ʻakimoutolu.
14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
14Pea ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa, ʻaia ko e noʻo ʻoe haohaoa.
15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
15Pea tuku ke pule ʻi homou loto ʻae melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai foki ʻi he sino pe taha; pea ke mou fakafetaʻi.
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
16Ke nofoʻia ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he poto kotoa pē; pea mou feakonakiʻaki mo fetokoniʻaki ʻi he ngaahi saame, mo e lea mālie, mo e ngaahi hiva fakalaumālie, ʻo hiva mo e ʻofa ʻi homou loto ki he ʻEiki.
17And what soever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
17Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai ʻi he lea pe ʻi he ngāue, fai kotoa pē ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻiate ia.
18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
18ʻAe kau fefine, fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, he ʻoku ngali ia ʻi he ʻEiki.
19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
19ʻAe kau tangata, ʻofa ki homou uaifi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai anga fakaʻita kiate kinautolu.
20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
20ʻAe fānau, fai talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ʻoku lelei lahi ia ki he ʻEiki.
21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger , lest they be discouraged.
21ʻAe ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakafiufiu ki hoʻomou fānau, telia naʻa nau fiu ai.
22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
22ʻAe kau tamaioʻeiki, fai talangofua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ki homou ʻeiki fakakakano; ʻoua naʻa ʻi he ngāue fakamamata pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau fakamālie ki he tangata; ka ʻi he loto totonu, ʻo manavahē ki he ʻOtua:
23And what soever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
23Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai, fai loto lelei, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki, kae ʻikai ki he tangata:
24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
24ʻI hoʻomou ʻilo temou maʻu mei he ʻEiki ʻae totongi ko e tofiʻa: he ʻoku mou tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ko Kalaisi.
25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
25Ka ko ia ʻoku fai taʻetotonu, te ne maʻu ʻo hangē ko e taʻetotonu kuo ne fai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha filifilimānako ki he kakai.
