Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Taumaiā ʻoku mou faʻa kātaki siʻi au ʻi heʻeku vale: ʻio, mou kātakiʻi au.
1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2He ʻoku ou fuaʻa kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fuaʻa fakaʻotua: he kuo u fakanofo ʻakimoutolu ki he husepāniti pe taha, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu ai ʻakimoutolu ko e tāupoʻou māʻoniʻoni kia Kalaisi.
2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
3Ka ʻoku ou manavahē telia naʻa hangē ko hono oloa ʻe he ngata ʻi heʻene kākaaʻi ʻa ʻIvi, ʻe pehē ʻae fakahala homou loto mei he angatotonu ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi.
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4Pea kapau moʻoni ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻe ia kuo aʻu atu, ʻae Sisu ʻe taha naʻe ʻikai te mau malangaʻaki, pea kapau ʻoku mou maʻu ha Laumālie ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu, pe ha ongoongolelei ʻe taha, naʻe ʻikai te mou maʻu, pea neʻineʻi te mou faʻa kātaki ia.
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him .
5Ka ʻoku ou lau ʻeau ʻoku ʻikai siʻi te u tomui au ʻi he fungani “ʻaposetolo lahi.”
5For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6He neongo ʻeku taʻepoto ʻi he lea, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u pehē ʻi he ʻilo; ka kuo ʻosi hono fakahā lahi atu ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
6But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7He ko ʻeku fai hala ʻa ʻeku fakavaivai au kae fakahikihiki ai ʻakimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
7Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
8Naʻaku fakamasivaʻi ʻae siasi niʻihi, ʻo maʻu mei ai ʻae totongi, ke u ʻaonga ai kiate kimoutolu.
8I robbed other churches, taking wages of them , to do you service.
9Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻi ai mo kimoutolu, peau masiva, naʻe ʻikai te u fakamāfasia ha tangata ʻe tokotaha: he ko ia naʻaku masiva ai, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kāinga naʻe haʻu mei Masitōnia: pea kuo u fai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ke ʻoua naʻaku fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu, pea ko hoku loto teu pehē pe.
9And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself .
10ʻO hangē ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae moʻoni ʻa Kalaisi, ʻe ʻikai taʻofi au ʻi he polepole ni he ngaahi potu ʻo ʻAkeia.
10As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11Ko e meʻa ʻi he hā? Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻofa kiate kimoutolu? ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻOtua.
11Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
12Ka ko ia ʻoku ou fai, te u fai pe ia, koeʻuhi ke tuʻusi ʻae tupungalau meiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki ai; koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻoku nau viki ai, ke ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau hangē ko kimautolu.
12But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
13Ka ko e kau ʻaposetolo loi ʻakinautolu, ko e kau ngāue fakakākā, ʻoku nau fakakehe ʻakinautolu ke hangē ko e kau ʻaposetolo ʻa Kalaisi.
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa fakaofo ia he naʻa mo Sētane ʻoku fakakehe foki ia ko e ʻāngelo ʻoe maama.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa lahi, ʻo kapau ʻe fakakehe ʻene kau faifekau foki ke hangē ko e kau faifekau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; ko e ngataʻanga ʻokinautolu ʻe fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi ngāue.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
16ʻOku ou toe pehē, ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe ha taha ko e vale au; pea kapau ʻe pehē, pea kātaki muʻa au ʻo taau mo e vale, koeʻuhi ke u polepole siʻi ʻiate au.
16I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
17Ko ia ʻoku ou lea ʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai te u lea ʻaki mei he ʻEiki, kae hangē ko e vale, ʻi he polepole lahi ni.
17That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
18Ko e meʻa ʻi he polepole ʻae tokolahi ki he kakano, teu polepole foki au.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19He ʻoku mou kātaki fiemālie pe ʻae kau vale, he koeʻuhi ʻoku mou poto.
19For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
20He kapau ʻoku fakapōpulaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha, kapau te ne folo hifo, kapau te ne fakamālohiʻi ʻakimoutolu, kapau ʻe fakahikihiki ia, kapau te ne tukiʻi homou mata, ʻoku mou kātaki pe ia.
20For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you , if a man take of you , if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
21ʻOku kau ʻeku lea ki he manukiʻi, ʻo hangē kuo moʻoni ʻemau vaivai. Ka koeni, ʻilonga ha meʻa ʻoku pole ai ha toko taha, (ʻoku ou lea ʻo hangē ha vale,) ʻoku ou pole ai foki.
21I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
22Ko e Hepelū ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au. Ko e ʻIsileli ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au. Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakinautolu? ʻOku pehē mo au.
22Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
23Ko e kau faifekau ʻa Kalaisi ʻakinautolu? (ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē ha vale) ʻoku ou lahi hake; ʻi he ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he ngaahi kauʻimaea ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he nofo fale fakapōpula ʻo liunga lahi hake, pea liunga lahi ʻi he mate.
23Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
24Naʻe liunga nima ʻa hoku haha ʻe he kakai Siu, pea taki tolungofulu ma hiva ʻae tā .
24Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
25Naʻe tuʻo tolu hoku teʻia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ʻakau, pea tuʻo taha hoku tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka, kuo tuʻo tolu ʻeku mate ʻi he vaka, ko e pō mo e ʻaho naʻaku ʻi he moana;
25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
26Pea faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi fononga, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he ngaahi vai, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kaihaʻa kau, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kakai ʻo hoku fonua, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he hiteni, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kolo, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he toafa, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he tahi, ʻi he tuʻutāmaki ʻi he kāinga loi;
26In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
27ʻI he ongosia mo e ngāue mamahi, ʻi he faʻa leʻo, ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinu, ʻi he faʻa ʻaukai, ʻi he momoko mo e telefua.
27In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
28Pea ʻikai pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ni mei tuʻa, ka ko ia foki ʻoku fetaʻomi kiate au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ko e tokanga ki he ngaahi siasi kotoa pē.
28Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
29Ko hai ʻoku vaivai, pea ʻoku ʻikai teu vaivai ai? Ko hai ʻoku tūkia, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u vela ai?
29Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
30Kapau kuo pau pe ke u polepole, teu polepole ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki heʻeku vaivai.
30If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
31Ko e ʻOtua mo e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku monūʻia ʻo taʻengata, ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai te u loi.
31The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
32Ko e pule ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he tuʻi ai ʻa ʻAlitasi, naʻa ne leʻohi ʻae kolo ʻoe kakai Tamasikusi ʻaki ʻae kau tau, ʻo holi ke moʻua au:
32In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
33Pea naʻe tukutuku hifo au ʻi ha kato mei he kātupa ʻi he ʻā, peau hao mei hono nima.
33And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
