1Pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻo hangē ki he fakalaumālie, kae hangē ki he fakakakano, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e kau valevale ʻia Kalaisi.
1And I, brethren, could not speak to you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal. As unto little ones in Christ.
2Naʻaku fafangaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae kakano; he naʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa tali ia, pea kuo hoko eni, ʻoku ʻikai foki te mou faʻa tali ia.
2I gave you milk to drink, not meat; for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able; for you are yet carnal.
3He ʻoku mou kei fakakakano: he ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae femehekaʻaki, mo e fakakikihi, mo e mavahevahe, ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano, pea felakaʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he tangata?
3For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal, and walk according to man?
4Koeʻuhi ʻoku lolotonga ʻae pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo Paula au;” pea pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo ʻApolosi au;” ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano pe?
4For while one saith, I indeed am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollo; are you not men? What then is Apollo, and what is Paul?
5Pea ko hai ai ʻa Paula, pea ko hai ai ʻa ʻApolosi, ka ko e ongo tamaioʻeiki naʻa mou tui ai, ʻio, ʻo taau mo ia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ki he tangata taki taha.
5The ministers of him whom you have believed; and to every one as the Lord hath given.
6Naʻaku tō ʻeau, pea fakaviviku ʻe ʻApolosi; ka ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne foaki hono tupu.
6I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase.
7Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tō, pe ko ia ʻoku fakaviviku; ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne foaki hono tupu.
7Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8Ko eni, ko ia ʻoku tō mo ia ʻoku fakaviviku ʻoku taha pe: pea ʻe taki taha maʻu ʻene totongi ʻaʻana ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngāue.
8Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, ate one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour.
9He ko e kaunga ngāue ʻakimautolu mo e ʻOtua: ko e ngāue ʻae ʻOtua mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.
9For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building.
10ʻO fakatatau mo e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kuo foaki kiate au, kuo u ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo ngali mo e tufunga poto, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe ha tokotaha. Ka ke taki taha vakai pe ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻene fokotuʻu ki ai.
10According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa ʻai ha tuʻunga kehe, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻai, ʻaia ko Sisu Kalaisi.
11For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus.
12Pea kapau ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha ki he tuʻunga ni, ha koula, pe siliva, pe ha ngaahi maka koloa, pe ko e ʻakau, pe ko e mohuku, pe ko e tefitoʻi kaho;
12Now if any man build upon this foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble:
13ʻE fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē taki taha: koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻilo ia ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ʻe fakahā ia ʻe he afi; pea ʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he afi ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē pe ko e hā hono anga.
13Every man’s work shall be manifest; for the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work, of what sort it is.
14Kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngāue ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha, te ne maʻu ʻae totongi.
14If any man’s work abide, which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15Kapau ʻe vela ʻae ngāue ʻa ha taha, ʻe masiva ai ia: pea ʻe fakamoʻui pe ia; ka ʻe hangē ha hao mei he afi.
15If any man’s work burn, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so as by fire.
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?
16Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17Kapau ʻe maumau ʻe ha taha ʻae faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua; ʻe maumau ia e he ʻOtua; he ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, pea ko e fale tapu ko ia ʻakimoutolu.
17But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are.
18ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ha taha ʻe ia. Kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ongoongo ko e poto ia ʻi māmani, tuku ke lau ia ko e vale koeʻuhi kae lau ia ko e poto.
18Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19He ko e poto ʻo māmani, ko e vale ia ki he ʻOtua. He kuo tohi, “ʻOku ne moʻua ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fie poto.”
19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness.
20Pea pehē foki, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe poto, ko e vaʻinga ia.”
20And again: The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha taha ʻi he tangata. He ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē;
21Let no man therefore glory in men.
22Pe ko Paula, pe ko ʻApolosi, pe ko Kifasi, pe ko e māmani, pe ko e moʻui, pe ko e mate, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻe haʻu; ʻoku ʻamoutolu kotoa pe;
22For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to some; for all are yours;
23Pea ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi.
23And you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.
