1Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahi ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he sino koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, ke teuteu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻaki ʻae loto pe ko ia: he ko ia kuo mamahi ʻi he sino, kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae angahala;
1Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa moʻui ia ʻi hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he sino ki he holi ʻoe tangata, ka ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua.
2Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3He kuo lahi kiate kitautolu ʻae kuonga kuo hili ange ʻo ʻetau moʻui ke fai ai ʻae loto ʻoe kakai Senitaile, ʻaia naʻa tau ʻaʻeva ai ʻi he anga fakalielia, mo e ngaahi holi kovi, mo e inu lahi ʻi he uaine, ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga kai, mo e ngaahi kātoanga inu uaine, mo e fakalielia ʻoe tauhi tamapua:
3For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
4ʻAia ʻoku nau ofo ʻi he ʻikai te mou kei feleleʻi ki he maveuveu lahi faufau ko ia, ʻonau lauʻikovi ʻakimoutolu :
4Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5ʻAkinautolu ʻe fakamatala kiate ia ʻoku teu ke ne fakamaauʻi ʻae moʻui mo e mate.
5But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6He ko e meʻa ko eni naʻe malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kinautolu foki kuo mate, koeʻuhi ke fakamaau ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakano, ʻo fakatatau ki he tangata, kae moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻOtua ʻi he laumālie.
6That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7Ka kuo ofi ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: ko ia mou fai fakapotopoto, mo leʻo ke lotu.
7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
8Pea sino ʻoe meʻa ke mou maʻu ʻae ʻofa vela ʻiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae ngaahi angahala lahi
8Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
9Pea fai ʻae fefoakiʻaki ʻekimoutolu kiate kimoutolu ʻo taʻelāunga.
9Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10Pea hangē kuo maʻu taki taha ʻae foaki, ke pehē hono fengāueʻaki ia ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo taau mo e kau tauhi lelei ʻoe ʻofa lahi ʻae ʻOtua.
10As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
11Kapau ʻoku lea ʻe ha taha, ke fakatatau ia mo e folofola ʻae ʻOtua; kapau ʻoku tauhi ʻe ha taha, ke tatau ia mo e mafai ko ia ʻoku foaki ʻe he ʻOtua: koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ke ʻiate ia ʻae fakafetaʻi mo e pule ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
11If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
12ʻE kāinga, ʻoua te mou ofo ʻi he ʻahiʻahi vela ʻaia ʻe ʻahiʻahi ʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē kuo hoko ha meʻa foʻou kiate kimoutolu:
12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13Kae fiefia, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou kau ʻi he ngaahi mamahi ʻa Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ʻoka fakahā mai hono nāunau, te mou fiefia foki ʻaki ʻae fiefia lahi ʻaupito.
13But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14Kapau ʻoku manukia ʻakimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e huafa ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku mou monūʻia; he ʻoku nofo kiate kimoutolu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ongoongolelei mo e ʻOtua: ʻoku lauʻikovi ia ʻekinautolu, kae ongoongolelei ia ʻiate kimoutolu.
14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15Kaeʻoua naʻa ʻiloange ʻoku tautea hamou taha koeʻuhi ko e fakapō, pe ko e kaihaʻa, pe ko e fai kovi, pe koeʻuhi ko e kaunoa ʻi he meʻa ʻae kakai kehe.
15Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16Ka ʻoka tautea ha taha koeʻuhi ko ʻene anga fakaKalisitiane, ke ʻoua naʻa mā ai ia; kae tuku muʻa ʻae fakaongoongolelei ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko ia.
16But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17He ko e kuonga eni ke fuofua fai ʻae tautea ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: pea ka kamata kiate kitautolu, pea ʻe fēfē ʻae ngataʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻoku ʻikai talangofua ki he ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua?
17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18“Pea kapau kuo meimei ʻikai hao ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻe hā ki fē ʻae taʻelotu mo e angahala?”
18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19Ko ia ke ʻilonga ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamahi ʻo taau mo e finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ke tukupau honau laumālie ʻi he fai lelei, ʻo hangē ki he Tupuʻi ʻOtua ʻoku fai angatonu.
19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
