1Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi faʻahitaʻu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga, ʻe kāinga, ke u tohi kiate kimoutolu.
1But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;
2He ʻoku mou ʻilo fakapapau, ko e ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ʻoku haʻu ʻo hangē ko e kaihaʻa ʻi he poʻuli.
2For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.
3He ʻoka nau ka pehē, “Fiemālie mo lelei pe;” ʻe hoko fakafokifā ʻae fakaʻauha kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e langā ki ha fefine feitama; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hao.
3For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
4Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻi he poʻuli, koeʻuhi ke moʻua ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻaho ko ia ʻo hangē ha kaihaʻa.
4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5Ko e fānau ʻae maama ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē, mo e fānau ʻae ʻaho: ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe pō ʻakitautolu, pe ʻoe poʻuli.
5For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mohe ʻakitautolu, ʻo hangē ko e niʻihi; ka tau leʻo pea tau fakapotopoto.
6Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.
7He ko kinautolu ʻoku mohe, ʻoku mohe ʻi he pō; pea ko kinautolu ʻoku kona, ʻoku kona ʻi he pō.
7For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.
8Ka ke fakapotopoto ʻakitautolu ʻoku ʻoe ʻaho, ʻo ʻai ki he fatafata ʻae sifa ko e tui mo e ʻofa; pea tau tatā ʻaki ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ki he fakamoʻui.
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
9He naʻe ʻikai tuʻutuʻuni ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he houhau, ka ke tau maʻu ʻae fakamoʻui ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
9For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10ʻAia naʻe pekia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu, koeʻuhi, ka tau ka ʻā pe mohe, ke tau moʻui fakataha mo ia.
10Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.
11Ko ia ke mou fefakafiemālieʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻo felangaʻaki hake ʻakimoutolu, ʻo hangē foki ko ia ʻoku mou fai.
11For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do.
12Pea ʻoku mau kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ke mou ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻoku ngaue ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku nau puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki, pea valokiʻi ʻakimoutolu;
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:
13Pea ke mou tokanga lahi ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻofa koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaue. Pea ke mou nonofo feʻofoʻofani pe.
13That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them.
14Pea ko eni, ʻoku mau enginaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, valokiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakamaveuveu, fakafiemālie ki he kau loto foʻi, poupou ʻae vaivai, ke mou faʻa kātakiʻi kotoa pē.
14And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
15Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻoku totongi ʻae kovi ʻaki ʻae kovi ki ha taha; ka mou tulituli maʻuaipē ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei, ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē.
15See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.
16Fiefia maʻuaipē.
16Always rejoice.
17Lotu taʻetuku.
17Pray without ceasing.
18Fakafetaʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ko e finangalo ia ʻoe ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi Sisu kiate kimoutolu.
18In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.
19ʻOua naʻa fuifui ʻae Laumālie.
19Extinguish not the spirit.
20ʻOua naʻa taʻetokanga ki he ngaahi malanga.
20Despise not prophecies.
21ʻAhiʻahiʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē puke ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku lelei.
21But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22Taʻofi ʻakimoutolu mei he matamata kovi kotoa pē.
22From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
23Pea ʻofa ke fakamāʻoniʻoni haohaoa ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe melino: pea ʻofa ke fakatolonga taʻehalaia ʻakimoutolu ʻa homou laumālie kotoa, mo homou loto, mo homou sino, ʻo aʻu ki he hāʻele mai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
23And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24ʻOku moʻoni ʻaia ʻoku ne uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu; pea te ne mafai foki ia.
24He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.
25E kāinga, hūfia ʻakimautolu.
25Brethren, pray for us.
26ʻOfa atu ki he kāinga kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae ʻuma māʻoniʻoni.
26Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27ʻOku ou fekau fakapapau kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki, ke lau atu ʻae tohi ni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
27I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
28Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. ʻEmeni.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
