Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia naʻaku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia foki kuo mou maʻu, pea ʻoku mou tuʻu ai;
1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2ʻAia kuo fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou manatuʻi ʻaia ne u malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou tui noa pē.
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3He ko e ʻuluaki ʻoe meʻa naʻaku ʻaʻau atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu foki, Ko e pekia ʻa Kalaisi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi;
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4Pea naʻe fai ia, pea naʻe toetuʻu hake ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tohi:
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻa Kifasi, pea mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua:
5And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6Hili ia, pea mamata fakataha kiate ia ʻae kāinga ʻe toko nimangeau tupu; pea ʻoku kei moʻui honau tokolahi, ka kuo tō ʻo mohe ʻae niʻihi.
6After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7Hili ia, naʻe mamata ʻa Semisi kiate ia, pea hoko mo e kau ʻaposetolo kotoa pē.
7After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8Pea ne u mamata fakamui foki ʻeau kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e fānau taʻehoko.
8And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
9He ko e siʻi taha pe au ʻi he kau ʻaposetolo, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ui au ko e ʻaposetolo, koeʻuhi naʻaku fakatanga ʻae siasi ʻoe ʻOtua.
9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ou pehē ni ai au: pea ko ʻene ʻofa kiate au, naʻe ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia; ka naʻaku ngāue lahi hake ʻaupito kiate kinautolu kotoa pē: ka naʻe ʻikai ko au, ka ko e tokoni mei he ʻOtua naʻe ʻiate au.
10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11Pea ko ia kapau ko au, pe ko kinautolu, ka ʻoku pehē pe ʻemau malanga, pea pehē pe hoʻomou tui.
11Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi mo ʻene toetuʻu mei he pekia, ʻoku fēfē ʻae pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu ʻoe mate?
12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13He kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu mei he mate, pea tā ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi:
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻemau malanga, pea taʻeʻaonga mo hoʻomou tui foki.
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15ʻIo, pea kuo ʻilo ʻakimautolu ko e fakamoʻoni loi ki he ʻOtua; he kuo mau fakapapau mei he ʻOtua ʻa ʻene fokotuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi: ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne fokotuʻu hake, ʻo kapau ko eni ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate.
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16He kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻae mate pea kuo ʻikai toetuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi:
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17Pea kapau kuo ʻikai tuʻu hake ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga hoʻomou tui; ʻoku mou kei ʻi hoʻomou angahala.
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18Pea ko kinautolu foki kuo mohe ʻia Kalaisi, kuo nau ʻauha.
18Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19Kapau ʻoku ngata ki he moʻui ni ʻetau ʻamanaki lelei ki ai, ko e malaʻia lahi taha pe ʻakitautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
19If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20Ka ko eni, kuo toetuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea kuo hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻokinautolu naʻe mohe.
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21He ko e meʻa ʻi he tangata naʻe hoko ai ʻae mate, pea ʻe hoko ʻi he tangata foki ʻae toetuʻu ʻoe mate.
21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22He ʻoku hangē ʻoku mate kotoa pē ʻia ʻAtama, ʻe pehē foki ʻe moʻui kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi.
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23Ka ko e tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻi hono lakanga: ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻa Kalaisi; pea hoko mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene haʻu.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
24Pea ʻe toki hoko ʻae ikuʻanga, ʻaia te ne ʻatu ai ʻae puleʻanga ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai; hili ʻene ikuna ʻae pule kotoa pē, mo e fekau kotoa pe, mo e mālohi.
24Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25He kuo pau pe ke pule ia, kaeʻoua ke ne tuku ʻa hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.
25For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26Ko e fili fakamui ʻe fakaʻauha, ko e mate.
26The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27“He kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe.” Ka ʻi heʻene pehē, kuo fakamoʻulaloa ʻae “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻoku ʻilongofua pe ʻoku ʻataʻatā ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia.
27For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28Pea ka ʻosi hono fakavaivai ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻe toki anganofo ʻae Foha kiate ia naʻa ne tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki lalo ʻiate ia, koeʻuhi ke tāfataha pe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
28And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29Kae ʻikai, pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻekinautolu kuo papitaiso ki he mate, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito toetuʻu ʻae mate? Ko e hā ʻoku papitaiso ai ʻakinautolu ki he mate?
29Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30Pea ko e hā ʻoku tau tuʻutuʻutāmaki ai ʻi he feituʻulaʻā kotoa pē?
30And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31ʻOku ou fakahā ʻi hoʻomou fiefia ʻaia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ou mate ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
31I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32He kapau, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata, kuo u tau mo e fanga manu ʻi ʻEfesō, ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate au, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai toetuʻu ʻae mate? “Ke tau kai mo inu; he te tau mate ʻapongipongi.”
32If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
33ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: “Ko e ngaahi talanoa kovi ʻoku fakahalaʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoku lelei.”
33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34ʻA hake ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoua naʻa fai angahala; he ʻoku teʻeki maʻu ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua: ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ia ko hoʻomou fakamā.
34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
35Ka ʻe pehē nai ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻE fēfē hono fokotuʻu ʻoe mate? Pea ʻi he sino fē te nau haʻu?”
35But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36Ko e vale koe, ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi ʻoku ʻikai fakaake ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke mate:
36Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke tūtuuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi ʻae sino ko ia ʻe tupu, ka ko e foʻi tenga ko ha foʻi tenga kehe:
37And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain :
38Ka ʻoku foaki ki ai ʻe he ʻOtua hono sino, ko ʻene faʻiteliha pe ia, pea ki he tenga taki taha hono sino ʻoʻona.
38But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39ʻOku ʻikai ko e kakano tatau pe ʻae kakano kotoa pē: he ʻoku ai ʻae kakano ko e taha ʻoe tangata, ko e kakano ʻe taha ʻoe fanga manu, ko e taha kehe ʻoe ngaahi ika, mo e taha kehe ʻoe fanga manupuna.
39All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40Pea ʻoku ai foki ʻae ngaahi sino fakalangi, mo e ngaahi sino fakamaama: ka ʻoku taha pe ʻae nāunau ʻoe fakalangi, pea ko e fakamaama ʻoku taha kehe ia.
40There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41He ʻoku ai ʻae nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe laʻā, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe māhina, mo e nāunau ʻe taha ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu: he ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻi he nāunau ʻae fetuʻu ʻe taha ki he fetuʻu ʻe taha.
41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42Pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻae toetuʻu ʻae mate. ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he ʻauʻauha: ʻoku fokotuʻu hake ia ʻi he taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha:
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he fakalielia; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia mo e nāunau: ʻoku tūtuuʻi ia ʻi he vaivai; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia ʻi he mālohi:
43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44ʻOku tūtuuʻi ia koe sino fakakakano; ʻoku fokotuʻu ia koe sino fakalaumālie. ʻOku ai ʻae sino fakakakano, pea ʻoku ai mo e sino fakalaumālie.
44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45Pea kuo tohi ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻuluaki tangata ko ʻAtama naʻe ngaohi ia ko e laumālie moʻui;” ko e ʻAtama fakamui ko e laumālie fakamoʻui.
45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46Ka naʻe ʻikai muʻomuʻa ʻaia ʻoku laumālie ka ko ia ʻoku fakakakano; kae toki hoko ʻaia ʻoku fakalaumālie.
46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47Ko e ʻuluaki tangata, ʻoku mei he kelekele, ʻoku kelekeleʻia: ko hono ua ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻEiki mei he langi.
47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48Hangē ko e kelekeleʻia, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kelekeleʻia: pea hangē ko ia ʻoku mei he langi, ʻoku pehē pe foki ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakalangi.
48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49Pea hangē ko e tau ʻi he tatau ʻo ia ʻoku mei he langi.
49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50Pea ʻoku ou tala eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he kakano mo e toto ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he ʻauʻauha ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha.
50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51Vakai, ʻoku ou fakahā ha meʻa fufū kiate kimoutolu; ʻE ʻikai te tau mohe kotoa pē, ka te tau liliu kotoa pē,
51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52ʻI he fakafokifā ʻi he kemo ʻoe mata, ʻi he pā fakamui ʻoe meʻa lea: koeʻuhi ʻe pā mai ia, pea ʻe fokotuʻu hake ai ʻae mate, ʻo taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ʻe liliu ai ʻakitautolu.
52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53He kuo pau ke ʻai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni, ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, pea ke ai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate
53For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54Ko ia, pea ka ʻosi hono ai ʻe he ʻauʻauha ni ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha, mo e ʻai ʻe he mate ni ʻae taʻemate, ʻe toki fakamoʻoni ʻae lea kuo tohi, “Kuo folo hifo ʻae mate ʻe he mālohi.”
54So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55“ʻE mate, kofaʻā haʻo huhu? ʻE faʻitoka, kofaʻā hoʻo mālohi?”
55O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56Ko e huhu ʻoe mate ko e angahala; pea ko e mālohi ʻoe angahala ko e fono.
56The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57Kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ke tau mālohi ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
57But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke tupulekina maʻuaipē ʻi he ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, he ʻoku mou ʻilo ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻi he ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taʻeʻaonga ia.
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
