Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Senior Gajo carissimo, quem ego diligo in veritate.
1Ko e motuʻa ki he ʻofeina ko Keio, ʻaia ʻoku ou ʻofa moʻoni ki ai;
2Carissime, de omnibus orationem facio prospere te ingredi, et valere sicut prospere agit anima tua.
2ʻE ʻofeina, ko e fungani ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou kolea, ke ke monūʻia, mo moʻui mālōlō, ʻo hangē pe ko e monūʻia ʻo ho laumālie.
3Gavisus sum valde venientibus fratribus, et testimonium perhibentibus veritati tuæ, sicut tu in veritate ambulas.
3He ne u fiefia lahi, ʻi he haʻu ʻae kāinga, ʻo fakamoʻoni ki he moʻoni ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻi he moʻoni.
4Majorem horum non habeo gratiam, quam ut audiam filios meos in veritate ambulare.
4ʻOku ʻikai haʻaku fiefia ʻe lahi hake, ka ko ʻeku fanongo ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻeku fānau ʻi he moʻoni.
5Carissime, fideliter facis quidquid operaris in fratres, et hoc in peregrinos,
5ʻE ʻofeina, ʻoku ke fai angatotonu pe ʻaia ʻoku ke fai ki he ngaahi kāinga, mo e kakai muli;
6qui testimonium reddiderunt caritati tuæ in conspectu ecclesiæ: quos, benefaciens, deduces digne Deo.
6Pea kuo nau fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe siasi ki hoʻo ʻofa: pea kapau te ke moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi heʻenau fononga ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua, ko hoʻo fai lelei ia:
7Pro nomine enim ejus profecti sunt, nihil accipientes a gentibus.
7He naʻe ʻalu atu ʻakinautolu koeʻuhi ko hono huafa, ʻo ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa mei he kakai Senitaile.
8Nos ergo debemus suscipere hujusmodi, ut cooperatores simus veritatis.
8Ko ia ʻoku totonu ai ʻetau talia ʻae kakai pehē, ke tau hoko ko e kau tokoni ki he moʻoni.
9Scripsissem forsitan ecclesiæ: sed is qui amat primatum gerere in eis, Diotrephes, non recipit nos:
9Ne u tohi ki he siasi: ka ko Taiotifi ʻoku manako ke lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ʻakinautolu.
10propter hoc si venero, commonebo ejus opera, quæ facit, verbis malignis garriens in nos: et quasi non ei ista sufficiant, neque ipse suscipit fratres: et eos qui suscipiunt, prohibet, et de ecclesia ejicit.
10Ko ia, kapau te u ʻalu atu, te u manatu ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ne fai, ʻa ʻene palau kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi lea kovi: pea ʻi heʻene taʻefiu ai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ʻe ia ʻae kāinga, pea ʻoku ne taʻofi kiate kinautolu naʻe loto ki ai, ʻo ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he siasi.
11Carissime, noli imitari malum, sed quod bonum est. Qui benefacit, ex Deo est: qui malefacit, non vidit Deum.
11ʻE ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa angimui ki ha kovi, ka ko ia pe ʻoku lelei. Ko ia ʻoku ne fai lelei, ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai kovi, kuo ʻikai mamata ia ki he ʻOtua,
12Demetrio testimonium redditur ab omnibus, et ab ipsa veritate, sed et nos testimonium perhibemus: et nosti quoniam testimonium nostrum verum est.
12ʻOku ongoongolelei ʻa Temetelio ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻi he moʻoni foki: ʻio, pea ʻoku mau fakamoʻoni foki; pea ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau fakamoʻoni.
13Multa habui tibi scribere: sed nolui per atramentum et calamum scribere tibi.
13Kuo lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tohi atu ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai teu loto ke tohi kiate koe ʻaki ʻae vaitohi mo e peni:
14Spero autem protinus te videre, et os ad os loquemur. Pax tibi. Salutant te amici. Saluta amicos nominatim.
14Ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ʻe vave ʻeku mamata kiate koe, pea te ta alea ʻo femamataʻaki. Ke ʻiate koe ʻae fiemālie. ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga kiate koe. Tala ʻae ʻofa ki he kāinga, ʻo huaʻaki honau hingoa.
