Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1ʻOku mou pehē, ʻoku ngofua ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha meʻa ki ha tokotaha, ke fakamaau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe taʻeangatonu, kae ʻikai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni?
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni? Pea kapau ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku taʻetaau ʻakimoutolu ke fakamaau ʻae ngaahi meʻa siʻi?
2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo te tau fakamaau ʻae kau ʻāngelo? Pea ʻikai ʻe muʻa hake lahi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4Pea kapau ʻoku ai ha fakamaau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni, pea ʻoku mou fili ke fai ia ʻekinautolu ʻoku māʻulalo hifo ʻi he siasi?
4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5ʻOku ou lea ko homou fakamā. He ʻoku pehē koā, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha tokotaha poto ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa fai ke fakamaau ki hono ngaahi kāinga?
5I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6Ka ʻoku fefakamaauʻaki ʻae kāinga mo e kāinga, pea fai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taʻetui?
6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae kovi lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou fefakamaauʻaki ʻakimoutolu. Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki ʻae kovi? Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki homou fakamālohiʻi?
7Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8Tā ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fai hala, pea fakamālohi, ʻio, ki he kāinga foki.
8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻe he taʻefaitotonu ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: ko e kau feʻauaki, mo e kau tauhi tamapua, mo e kau tono fefine, mo e kau moʻui fakafiemālie, mo e kau fiefai fakalieliaʻaki ʻiate kinautolu,
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Mo e kau kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e kau faʻa kona, mo e kau lea kovi, mo e kau fakamālohi, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11Pea naʻe pehē pe homou niʻihi; ka kuo fufulu ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatapui ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatonuhia ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, pea ʻi he Laumālie ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12“ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, “ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻe ʻikai faiekina au ʻe he meʻa ʻe taha.
12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13Ko e ngaahi meʻakai ki he fatu, mo e fatu ki he ngaahi meʻakai: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia fakatouʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ki he feʻauaki ʻae sino, ka ki he ʻEiki; pea mo e ʻEiki ki he sino.
13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14Pea kuo fokotuʻu hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻEiki, pea te ne fokotuʻu hake ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi hono mālohi ʻoʻona.
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e ngaahi kupu ia ʻo Kalaisi? Pea te u ʻave eni ʻae ngaahi kupu ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ngaahi kupu ʻoe faʻa feʻauaki? ʻIkai ʻaupito.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16Ko e hā? ʻikai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko ia kuo hoko ki he faʻa feʻauaki, ʻoku sino taha? He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoko ʻae toko ua ko e kakano pe taha.”
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17Ka ko ia kuo hoko ki he ʻEiki, ko e laumālie pe taha.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18Puna mei he feʻauaki. Ko e angahala fulipē ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he sino, ka ko ia ʻoku fai feʻauaki, ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono sino ʻoʻona.
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19Ko e hā? ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e fale tapu ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻamoutolu ʻakimoutolu?
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20He kuo fakatauʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae totongi: ko ia ke fakaongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻi homou sino, pea ʻi homou laumālie, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua.
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
