1Pea ko e meʻa ki he tānaki tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ke fai pe ʻekimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fekau ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia.
1Now about the collection for the saints, you are to do as I directed the churches of Galatia:
2ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, ke mou taki taha vaheʻi ʻo tuku ʻae tokoni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono fakamonūʻiaʻi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tānaki ʻo kau ka hoko atu.
2On the first day of every week, each of you should set aside a portion of his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will be needed.
3Pea kau ka hoko atu, ko kinautolu te mou loto ki ai, te u fekau ʻakinautolu mo e ngaahi tohi, ke ʻave hoʻomou tokoni ʻofa ki Selūsalema.
3Then, on my arrival, I will send letters with those you recommend to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
4Pea kapau ʻe lelei ʻeku ʻalu foki, te nau ʻalu mo au.
4And if it is advisable for me to go also, they can travel with me.
5Pea ko eni, te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoka hili ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia: he te u ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia.
5After I go through Macedonia, however, I will come to you; for I will be going through Macedonia.
6Pea te u nofo ʻapē ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko mo kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga ki ha potu te u ʻalu ki ai.
6Perhaps I will stay with you awhile, or even spend the winter, so that you can help me on my journey, wherever I go.
7He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u fou atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fononga ni; ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki te u nofo fuoloa siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe lelei ki he ʻEiki.
7For I do not want to see you now only in passing; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
8Ka te u tatali ʻi ʻEfesō ʻo aʻu ki he Penitekosi.
8But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
9He kuo fakaava kiate au ʻae matapā lahi pea ʻaonga, pea ʻoku tokolahi ʻae fili.
9because a great door for effective work has opened to me, even though many oppose me.
10Pea ko eni, kapau ʻe hoko atu ʻa Timote, vakai ke ʻiate kimoutolu taʻemanavahē ia: he ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo hangē foki ko au.
10If Timothy comes, see to it that he has nothing to fear while he is with you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, just as I am.
11Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa manukiʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha: kae tokoniʻi ia, ke fononga mai ʻi he fiemālie, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ia kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻamanaki kiate ia fakataha mo e kāinga.
11No one, then, should treat him with contempt. Send him on his way in peace so that he can return to me, for I am expecting him along with the brothers.
12Pea ko e meʻa ki hotau kāinga ko ʻApolosi, naʻaku kole lahi kiate ia ke ne ʻalu atu mo e kāinga kiate kimoutolu: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi loto ia ke ʻalu atu ʻi he kuonga ni; ka ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi ha kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie kiate ia.
12Now about our brother Apollos: I strongly urged him to go to you with the brothers. He was not at all inclined to go now, but he will go when he has the opportunity.
13Mou leʻo, tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, fai ʻo ngali mo e tangata, mou mālohi.
13Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.
14Ke fai hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ʻofa.
14Do everything in love.
15ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae fale ʻo Setivena, ko e ʻuluaki fua ia ʻi ʻAkeia, pea kuo nau tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga,
15You know that Stephanas and his household were the first converts in Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints. Now I urge you, brothers,
16Ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakimoutolu ki he kakai pehē, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tokoni mo kimautolu, pea ngāue.
16to submit to such as these, and to every fellow worker and laborer.
17ʻOku ou fiemālie ʻi he haʻu ʻa Setivena mo Fotuneto mo ʻAkaiko: he ko ia naʻe toe meiate kimoutolu kuo nau totongi.
17I am glad that Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus have arrived, because they have supplied what was lacking from you.
18He kuo nau fakafiemālieʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoʻoku mo kimoutolu: ko ia mou fai ʻofa ki he kakai pehē.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours as well. Show your appreciation, therefore, to such men.
19Ko e ngaahi siasi ʻo ʻEsia ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku ʻofa lahi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pisila, pea mo e siasi ʻoku ʻi hona fale.
19The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Prisca greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house.
20ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu. Mou feʻofoʻofani ʻaki ʻae ʻuma māʻoniʻoni.
20All the brothers here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
21Ko e tohi ʻofa eni ʻa Paula ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
21This greeting is in my own hand—Paul.
22Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke malaʻia ia. ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻEiki.
22If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be under a curse. Come, O Lord!
23Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
24Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻeku ʻofa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. ʻEmeni.
24My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
