1Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe ʻi he malumalu ʻoe ʻao ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu kotoa pē ʻi he tahi;
1For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.
2Pea naʻe papitaiso kotoa pē ia Mōsese ʻi he ʻao pea ʻi he tahi;
2And all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud, and in the sea:
3Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē ʻi he meʻakai fakalaumālie pe taha;
3And did all eat the same spiritual food,
4Pea naʻa nau inu kotoa pē ʻi he inu fakalaumālie pe taha: he naʻa nau inu mei he Maka fakalaumālie ko ia ʻaia naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu : pea ko e Maka ko ia ko Kalaisi.
4And all drank the same spiritual drink; (and they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.)
5Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua ki honau tokolahi: he naʻe tulaki hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.
5But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert.
6Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e ngaahi fakatātā kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau holi ki he ngaahi meʻa kovi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau holi kovi.
6Now these things were done in a figure of us, that we should not covet evil things as they also coveted.
7Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tauhi tamapua, ʻo hangē ko honau niʻihi; ʻo tatau mo ia kuo tohi, “Naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ʻo meʻe.”
7Neither become ye idolaters, as some of them, as it is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8Pea ʻoua naʻa tau fai feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e fai ʻe honau niʻihi, pea tō ai ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko tolu afe.
8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9Pea ʻoua naʻa tau ʻahiʻahi kia Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahi ʻo honau niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae fanga ngata.
9Neither let us tempt Christ: as some of them tempted, and perished by the serpents.
10Pea ʻoua naʻa mou lāunga, ʻo hangē ko e lāunga ʻa honau niʻihi, pea nau ʻauha ʻi he fakaʻauha.
10Neither do you murmur: as some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11Pea naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga: pea kuo tohi ia ko hotau akonakiʻi, ʻakitautolu kuo hoko ki ai hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kuonga.
11Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12Pea ko ia ʻoku mahalo ʻoku ne tuʻu, ke vakai telia naʻa hinga ia.
12Wherefore he that thinketh himself to stand, let him take heed lest he fall.
13ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻahiʻahi ʻe tō kiate kimoutolu ka ko ia ʻoku faʻa hoko ki he tangata: ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke lahi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa te mou faʻa fai; ka ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻe tofa foki ʻe ia ʻae hala ke hao ai, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa kātaki ia.
13Let no temptation take hold on you, but such as is human. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that which you are able: but will make also with temptation issue, that you may be able to bear it.
14Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, puna mei he tauhi tamapua.
14Wherefore, my dearly beloved, fly from the service of idols.
15ʻOku ou lea atu ki ke kau tangata poto; mou fakamaau ki heʻeku lea.
15I speak as to wise men: judge ye yourselves what I say.
16Ko e ipu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻaia ʻoku mau tāpuakiʻi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi? Ko e mā ʻoku mau tofitofi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he sino ʻo Kalaisi?
16The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
17Pea koeʻuhi ʻoku taha pe ʻae foʻi mā, ko kitautolu ko e tokolahi ko e sino pe taha: he ʻoku tau ʻinasi fakataha ʻi he foʻi mā pe taha ko ia.
17For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.
18Vakai ki ʻIsileli fakakakano: ʻikai ʻoku kau fakataha mo e ʻesifeilaulau ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau?
18Behold Israel according to the flesh: are not they, that eat of the sacrifices, partakers of the altar?
19Ka ʻoku ou pehē ai ko e hā? Ko ha meʻa koā ʻae tamapua, pe ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua?
19What then? Do I say, that what is offered in sacrifice to idols, is any thing? Or, that the idol is any thing?
20ʻE ʻikai ; he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻe he kakai Senitaile, ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou feohi mo e ngaahi tēvolo.
20But the things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God. And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils.
21ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa inu ʻi he ipu ʻae ʻEiki, mo e ipu ʻae ngaahi tēvolo: ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kau ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻae ʻEiki, mo e keinangaʻanga ʻae ngaahi tēvolo.
21You cannot drink the chalice of the Lord, and the chalice of devils: you cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of devils.
22Pea te tau fakafuaʻa ʻae ʻEiki? ʻOku tau mālohi kiate ia?
22Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient.
23ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai langa hake kotoa pē.
23All things are lawful for me, but all things do not edify.
24Ke ʻoua naʻa kumi taki taha hono lelei pe ʻoʻona, ka ki he lelei ʻae niʻihi kehe.
24Let no man seek his own, but that which is another’s.
25ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻi he potu fakatau, kai ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto:
25Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience’ sake.
26He “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia.”
26The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
27Kapau ʻe talaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tui, pea ʻoku mou loto ke ʻalu ki ai; ko ia ʻoku tuku ʻi homou ʻao, kai, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto.
27If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience’ sake.
28Ka ʻoka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo feilaulau ʻaki eni ki he ngaahi tamapua,” ʻoua naʻa mou kai ia, telia ia kuo ne fakahā, pea telia mo e loto foki: he “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia:”
28But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols, do not eat of it for his sake that told it, and for conscience’ sake.
29ʻOku ou pehē “ko e loto,” kae ʻikai ʻoʻou, ka ʻoe tokotaha: he ko e hā ʻoku fakamaau ai ʻeku tauʻatāina ʻaki ʻae loto ʻoe taha kehe?
29Conscience, I say, not thy own, but the other’s. For why is my liberty judged by another man’s conscience?
30He kapau ko ha meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ai ia, ko e hā ʻoku lauʻikovi ai au ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi ai?”
30If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of, for that for which I give thanks?
31Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kai, pe inu, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou fai, fai kotoa pē ke fakaongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
31Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatsoever else you do, do all to the glory of God.
32ʻOua naʻa fai fakaʻita, pe ki he kakai Siu, pe ki he kakai Senitaile, pe ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua:
32Be without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God:
33ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko au, ʻoku ou fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo ʻikai kumi ʻae lelei ʻoʻoku, ka ko e lelei ʻoe tokolahi, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
33As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
