King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1He ʻoku ou pehē, Kuo siʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai? ʻIkai ʻaupito. He ko e ʻIsileli foki au, mei he hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
2Kuo ʻikai siʻaki ʻe he ʻOtua hono kakai naʻa ne muʻaki ʻilo. ʻIkai te mou ʻilo ʻae lea ʻae tohi kia ʻIlaisiā? ʻA ʻene hanu ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē,
3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
3“ʻEiki, kuo nau tāmateʻi hoʻo kau palōfita, pea nau holoki hifo ʻa ho ngaahi ʻesifeilaulau; pea ʻoku ou toe tokotaha pē, pea ʻoku nau kumi ki heʻeku moʻui.”
4But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
4Ka ko e hā ʻae folofola naʻe tali ʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtua? “Kuo u fakatoe kiate au ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fitu afe, kuo ʻikai te nau tuʻulutui kia Peali.”
5Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5Pea ko eni, ʻoku pehē foki ʻi he kuonga ni, ʻoku ai ʻae toenga ʻo fakatatau ki he fili ʻi he ʻofa.
6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
6Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he ʻofa, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻi he ngaahi ngāue: ka ʻikai, pea ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻofa ʻae ʻofa. Pea kapau ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ia, pehē, ʻoku ʻikai kei ʻi he ʻofa ia: ka ʻikai, tā ʻoku ʻikai kei ko e ngāue ʻae ngāue.
7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
7Ka ko ia pea hā? Kuo ʻikai lavaʻi ia ʻe ʻIsileli ʻaia ne ne kumi ki ai; ka kuo lavaʻi ia ʻe he kakai kuo fili, pea ko hono toe kuo fakafefeka,
8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
8(ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae laumālie tulemohe, ko e mata kae ʻikai te nau mamata, mo e telinga kae ʻikai te nau fanongo;) ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.”
9And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
9Pea ʻoku pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ke hoko honau keinangaʻanga ko e hele, mo e tauhele, mo e tūkiaʻanga, mo e totongi kiate kinautolu:
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
10Tuku ke fakapoʻuli honau mata, ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata, pea mapelu maʻuaipē honau tuʻa.”
11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
11Pea ʻoku ou pehē, Kuo nau tūkia ke nau mātuʻaki hinga? ʻIkai ʻaupito: ka ʻi heʻenau fai hala kuo hoko ʻae fakamoʻui ki he kakai Senitaile, ke ueʻi ʻakinautolu ki he fuaʻa.
12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
12Pea ko eni, kapau ko ʻenau fai hala ko e fakakoloaʻia ia ʻo māmani, pea ko honau fakamasivaʻi ko e koloaʻia ʻoe kakai Senitaile; pea ʻe fēfeeʻi ai ʻoka nau ka mahu?
13For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
13He ʻoku ou lea kiate kimoutolu ʻae kakai Senitaile, he ko e ʻaposetolo au ʻoe kakai Senitaile, pea ʻoku ou fakaongolelei ʻa ʻeku ngāue:
14If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
14ʻO kapau te u mafai ʻi ha meʻa ke ueʻi ke fuaʻa ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻo hoku kakano, pea u fakamoʻui honau niʻihi.
15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be , but life from the dead?
15He kapau ko honau siʻaki, ko e fakalelei ia ʻo māmani, pea ko e hā honau toe maʻu mai, ka ko e moʻui mei he mate?
16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy : and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
16He kapau ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae ʻuluaki fua, ʻoku pehē foki mo hono kotoa: pea kapau ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ʻae tefito, ʻoku pehē mo e ngaahi vaʻa.
17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
17Pea kapau ne motuhi ʻae vaʻa niʻihi, pea kuo fakahoko koe kiate kinautolu, ka ko e ʻolive vao pē koe, pea ke maʻu ʻe koe fakataha mo kinautolu hono tefito mo hono huhuʻa ʻoe ʻakau ko e ʻolive;
18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18ʻOua naʻa ke polepole ki he ngaahi vaʻa. Pea neongo hoʻo polepole, ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻui ʻae tefito ʻiate koe, ka ko koe ʻi he tefito.
19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
19Pea te ke pehē nai, “Ne motuhi ʻae ngaahi vaʻa, koeʻuhi kae fakahoko au.”
20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
20Ko e moʻoni; ko e meʻa ʻi he taʻetui naʻe motuhi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku ke tuʻu koe ʻi he tui. ʻOua naʻa ke loto lahi, ka ke manavahē:
21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
21He kapau naʻe ʻikai mamae ʻae ʻOtua ki he ngaahi vaʻa totonu, vakai naʻa ʻikai te ne mamae kiate koe.
22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22Ko ia vakai ki he angalelei mo e houhau ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e houhau kiate kinautolu naʻe hinga; ka ko e angalelei kiate koe, ʻo kapau te ke tuʻumaʻu ʻi he angalelei: ka ʻikai, pea ʻe motuhi ai foki mo koe.
23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
23Pea ko kinautolu foki ʻe fakahoko, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau nofomaʻu ʻi he taʻetui, he ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ke toe fakahoko ʻakinautolu.
24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches , be graffed into their own olive tree?
24He kapau naʻe tutuʻu koe mei he ʻakau ko e ʻolive ʻaia ko hono anga ke tupu vao pē, pea fakahoko koe ki he ʻolive lelei kae ʻikai tatau mo hono anga: ʻe ʻikai faingofua hake ʻae fakahoko ʻoe ʻngaahi vaʻa moʻoni ki honau ʻolive ʻonautolu?
25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
25He ʻoku ʻikai te u loto, ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo ʻae meʻa lilo ni, telia naʻa mou fielahi ʻiate kimoutolu; kuo fakakui ʻae niʻihi ʻo ʻIsileli, kaeʻoua ke hokosia hono fakakātoa mai ʻoe kakai Senitaile.
26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
26Pea ʻe fakamoʻui ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē: ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻE haʻu mei Saione ʻae Fakamoʻui, pea ʻe fakafoki ʻe ia ʻae angahala meia Sēkope:
27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
27He ko ʻeku fuakava eni mo kinautolu, ʻo kau ka ʻave ʻenau ngaahi angahala.”
28As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
28Ko e ngaahi fili ʻakinautolu ki he ongoongolelei, kae ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he fili, kuo ʻofeina ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai.
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
29He ko e ngaahi foaki mo e ui ʻae ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakatomala ki ai.
30For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
30He ʻoku hangē ko kimoutolu ʻi muʻa, naʻe ʻikai te mou talangofua ki he ʻOtua, ka ko eni kuo mou maʻu ʻae ʻaloʻofa ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau talangataʻa:
31Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
31ʻOku pehē foki, ʻoku ʻikai eni ke talangofua ʻakinautolu ni, ka, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa kiate kimoutolu, te nau lavaʻi foki ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
32For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
32He kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ke moʻua ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki he talangataʻa, koeʻuhi ka ne ʻaloʻofa ki ai kotoa pē.
33O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
33ʻOiauē! Hono loloto ʻoe koloaʻia ʻae poto mo e ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua! ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻeke ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea taʻefaʻaʻiloa mo hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga!
34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
34“He ko hai kuo ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki? Pe ko hai kuo akonakiʻi kiate ia?
35Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
35Pea ko hai ne tomuʻa foaki kiate ia, pea ʻe toe totongi ia kiate ia?
36For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
36He ʻoku tupunga meiate ia, pea ʻoku maʻu pē ʻiate ia, pea ʻe iku kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē: ʻaia ke ʻi ai ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
