Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
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;
1Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from 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.
2That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to 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 the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
4ʻAia ʻoku nau ofo ʻi he ʻikai te mou kei feleleʻi ki he maveuveu lahi faufau ko ia, ʻonau lauʻikovi ʻakimoutolu :
4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you :
5ʻAkinautolu ʻe fakamatala kiate ia ʻoku teu ke ne fakamaauʻi ʻae moʻui mo e mate.
5Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick 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.
6For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to 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.
7But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8Pea sino ʻoe meʻa ke mou maʻu ʻae ʻofa vela ʻiate kimoutolu: he ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofa ʻae ngaahi angahala lahi
8And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
9Pea fai ʻae fefoakiʻaki ʻekimoutolu kiate kimoutolu ʻo taʻelāunga.
9Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
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 every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
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 any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever 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, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto 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, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
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 ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye ; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
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.
15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
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.
16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
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 the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18“Pea kapau kuo meimei ʻikai hao ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻe hā ki fē ʻae taʻelotu mo e angahala?”
18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
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.
19Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
