Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea ko au, ʻe kāinga, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu atu ʻi he mālie ʻoe lea, pe ʻi he poto, ke fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae fakamoʻoni ʻae ʻOtua.
1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
2He naʻe maʻu hoku loto, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo hono tutuki ki he ʻakau.
2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
3Pea naʻaku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he vaivai, mo e manavahē, pea ʻi he tetetete lahi.
3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4Pea ko ʻeku lea mo ʻeku malanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea fakaoloolo ʻoe poto ʻoe tangata, kae ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻoe Laumālie mo e mālohi:
4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tuʻu ʻi he poto ʻoe tangata hoʻomou tui, ka ʻi he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua.
5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
6Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku haohaoa: ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e poto ʻoe māmani, pe ʻoe houʻeiki ʻoe māmani, ʻaia ʻe aʻu ʻo ngata:
6Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7Ka ʻoku mau lea ʻaki ʻae poto lilo ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngāue fufū, ʻaia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he teʻeki ai tuʻu ʻa māmani, ko hotau leleiʻanga:
7But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom , which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha ʻoe ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe māmani: he ka nenau ʻilo ia, pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae ʻEiki lāngilangi.
8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “ʻOku teʻeki ai mamata ʻe ha mata, pe fanongo ʻe ha telinga, Pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hū ki he loto ʻo ha tangata, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻaia ʻoku teuteu ʻe he ʻOtua maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.”
9But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10Ka kuo fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ʻaki hono Laumālie: he ʻoku hakule ʻe he Laumālie ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻi he ʻOtua.
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11He ko hai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata, ka ko e laumālie pe ʻoe tangata ʻoku ʻiate ia? Pea ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e Laumālie pe ʻoe ʻOtua.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12Pea ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ko e laumālie ʻo māmani kuo tau maʻu, ka ko e laumālie ʻoku mei he ʻOtua; koeʻuhi ke tau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo foaki mataʻataʻatā pe kiate kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13ʻAe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mau lea ki ai, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku ako mai ʻe he poto ʻoe tangata, ka ko ia ʻoku ako ʻaki ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; ʻo fakamatala ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalaumālie.
13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14Ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe he tangata fakakakano ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua: he ko e vale ia kiate ia: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa ʻilo ia, he ʻoku ʻilo fakalaumālie pe ia.
14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned.
15Ka ko ia ʻoku fakalaumālie ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻiloʻi ia ʻe ha taha.
15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16“He ko hai ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ne akonakiʻi ia?” Ka ʻoku tau maʻu ʻae finangalo ʻo Kalaisi.
16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
