Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia ke liʻaki ʻae fai kovi kotoa pē, mo e kākā kotoa pē, mo e mālualoi, mo e meheka, pea mo e feleakoviʻaki kotoa pē,
1Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2Pea mou holi lahi, ʻo hangē ko e fānau toki fāʻeleʻi, ki he huʻahuhu taʻekākā ʻoe folofola, koeʻuhi ke mou tupu ai:
2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3He kuo mou kamata ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻEiki.
3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4ʻAia ʻoku mou haʻu ki ai, ko e maka moʻui, kuo siʻaki moʻoni ʻe he kakai, ka kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku mahuʻinga,
4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5Ko kimoutolu foki, ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi maka moʻui kuo langa hake, ko e fale fakalaumālie, ko e kau taulaʻeiki māʻoniʻoni, ke ʻohake ʻae ngaahi feilaulau fakalaumālie, ʻoku ʻaonga ki he ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi.
5Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6Ko ia ʻoku tuʻu ai foki ia ʻi he tohi, “Vakai, ʻoku ou ʻai ʻi Saione ʻae fungani maka tuliki, kuo fili, pea mahuʻinga: pea ko ia ʻe tui kiate ia, ʻe ʻikai mā ia.”
6Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7Ko ia, ʻoku mahuʻinga ia kiate kimoutolu ʻoku tui: ka kiate kinautolu ʻoku taʻetui, “ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, ko ia ia kuo ngaohi ko e fungani maka ʻoe tuliki,
7Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8Pea ko e maka tūkiaʻanga mo e maka fakaʻita kiate kinautolu ʻoku taʻetui ki he folofola, pea tūkia: ʻaia foki naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻakinautolu ki ai.”
8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9Ka ko e kakai kuo fili ʻakimoutolu, ko e kau taulaʻeiki fakaʻeiʻeiki, ko e kakai māʻoniʻoni, ko e kakai kuo fakatau; koeʻuhi ke mou fakahā ʻae ʻulungāanga lelei ʻo ia naʻa ne ui mai ʻakimoutolu mei he poʻuli ki heʻene maama lahi:
9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10ʻAkimoutolu naʻe ʻikai ko ha kakai ʻi muʻa, ka ko eni ko e kakai ʻae ʻOtua: naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻae ʻaloʻofa, ka ko eni kuo ʻilo ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11ʻOku ou kole atu, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina, ke mou hangē ko e kau muli mo e ʻāunofo, ke taʻofi ʻakimoutolu mei he ngaahi holi fakakakano, ʻaia ʻoku tauʻi ʻae laumālie;
11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
12Pea fai ke lelei hoʻomou moʻui ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai Senitaile: koeʻuhi, ʻi ha meʻa ʻoku nau lauʻikovi ai ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e kau fai kovi, ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue lelei, pea fakamālō ai ki he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻaʻahi.
12Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13Fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki he tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē ʻae tangata koeʻuhi ko e ʻEiki: pe ki he tuʻi, ʻaia ʻoku lahi taha pe;
13Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14Pe ki he kau pule, ʻakinautolu kuo ne fakanofo koeʻuhi ke tautea ʻae kau fai kovi, ka ke fakamālō kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai lelei.
14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
15He ʻoku pehē ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke mou fakanoaʻi ʻaki ʻae fai lelei ʻae faʻa launoa ʻae kakai vale:
15For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
16ʻO taau mo e tauʻatāina, kaeʻoua naʻa maʻu ʻae tauʻatāina ke hangē ko e ʻufiʻufi ʻoe angahala, ka mou hangē ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua.
16As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
17Fakaʻapaʻapa ki he kakai kotoa pē. ʻOfa ki he kāinga lotu. Manavahē ki he ʻOtua. Fakaʻapaʻapa ki he tuʻi.
17Honour all men . Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
18ʻAe kau tamaioʻeiki, mou fakavaivai ki hoʻomou ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi he manavahē
18Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19He ko e meʻa ʻaonga eni, ʻo kapau ʻe kātaki ʻe ha taha ʻae mamahi mo e tautea taʻetotonu, ko ʻene loto lelei ki he ʻOtua.
19For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
20He ko e hā hono lelei, ʻoka tautea ʻakimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou fai kovi, pea ʻoku mou faʻa kātaki ia? Ka ʻoka mou ka mamahiʻia ʻi hoʻomou fai lelei, pea faʻa kātaki, ʻoku lelei ia ki he ʻOtua.
20For what glory is it , if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it , ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21He ko e meʻa ia kuo uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai: he naʻe mamahi ʻa Kalaisi maʻamoutolu, pea kuo ne tuku mai ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kiate kimoutolu, ke mou topuvaʻe taha mo ia:
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ke ne fai ha angahala, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha kākā ʻi hono fofonga.
22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23ʻAia naʻe ʻikai ke toe manuki ʻi hono manukia ia; ʻi heʻene mamahi, naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamana; ka naʻa ne tuku ia kiate ia ʻoku fakamaau māʻoniʻoni:
23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24ʻAia naʻa ne fua tokotaha pe ʻi hono sino ʻoʻona ʻetau ngaahi hia ki he ʻakau, koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻetau tauʻatāina mei he angahala, ke tau moʻui ki he māʻoniʻoni: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hono ngaahi ta kuo ko mou moʻui.
24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25He naʻa mou tatau mo e fanga sipi ʻalu hēhē pe; ka kuo mou foki mai eni ki he Tauhi mo e Leʻohi ʻo homou laumālie.
25For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
