1Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea mo Timote ko hotau kāinga, ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi Kolinitō, fakataha mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni fulipē ʻoku ʻi ʻAkeia kotoa pē:
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother: to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints that are in all Achaia:
2Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
2Grace unto you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, mo e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Tamai ʻae ngaahi ʻaloʻofa, mo e ʻOtua ʻoe fiemālie kotoa pē;
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.
4ʻAia ʻoku ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi heʻemau mamahi kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke mau faʻa fai ai ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamahiʻia, ʻaki ʻae fakafiemālie ko ia ʻaia ʻoku fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ʻakimautolu ʻe he ʻOtua.
4Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God.
5He ʻoku hangē ʻae tupulekina ʻoe ngaahi mamahi ʻa Kalaisi ʻiate kimautolu, ʻoku pehē, ʻoku tupulekina foki ʻemau fiemālie ʻia Kalaisi.
5For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound.
6Pea kapau ʻoku mau mamahi, ko e meʻa ia ki hoʻomou fiemālie mo e fakamoʻui, ʻaia ʻoku ngāue lelei ke mou faʻa kātaki ʻae ngaahi mamahi ko ia ʻoku mau kātaki foki: pea kapau kuo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakimautolu, ko hoʻomou fakafiemālie ia mo e fakamoʻui.
6Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7Pea ʻoku tuʻumaʻu pe ʻemau ʻamanaki lelei kiate kimoutolu, ko ʻemau ʻilo, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou kau ʻi he ngaahi mamahi, te mou kau foki ʻi he fiemālie.
7That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation.
8He ʻoku ʻikai ko homau loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, ʻe kāinga, ki heʻemau ngaahi mamahi naʻe hoko kiate kimautolu ʻi ʻEsia, koeʻuhi naʻe taʻomia lahi hake ʻaupito ia ʻi heʻemau mālohi, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te mau ʻamanaki ki he moʻui:
8For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation, which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life.
9Ka naʻa mau ongoʻi kuo tukupau ʻakimautolu ki he mate, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa mau falala kiate kimautolu, ka ki he ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ne fokotuʻu hake ʻae mate:
9But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.
10ʻAia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he mate lahi ko ia, pea ʻoku ne kei fakamoʻui: pea ʻoku mau falala te ne kei fakamoʻui pe;
10Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: in whom we trust that he will yet also deliver us.
11ʻI he tokoni fakataha ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he lotua ʻakimautolu, koeʻuhi ko e foaki kuo tuku kiate kimautolu ʻi he kau ʻae tokolahi, ʻe ʻatu ai ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻe he tokolahi koeʻuhi ko kimautolu.
11You helping withal in prayer for us: that for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf.
12He ko ʻemau fiefiaʻanga eni, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻo homau loto, koeʻuhi ʻi he loto taha, mo e moʻoni fakaʻotua, kae ʻikai ʻi he poto fakakakano, kae ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, kuo mau fai homau lakanga ʻi he māmani, kae lahi taha pe kiate kimoutolu.
12For our glory is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you.
13He ʻoku ʻikai te mau tohi ha meʻa kehe kiate kimoutolu, ka ko ia pe ʻoku mou ʻilo mo tui ki ai; pea ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ke mou tui ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga;
13For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end:
14ʻO hangē ko e ʻilo ʻakimautolu foki ʻe homou niʻihi, ko homou fiefiaʻanga ʻakimautolu, ʻio, ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻamautolu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
14As also you have known us in part, that we are your glory, as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Pea ʻi he tui ni naʻaku loto ke ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi muʻa, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu hono ua ʻoe meʻaʻofa;
15And in this confidence I had a mind to come to you before, that you might have a second grace:
16Pea ke u ʻalu atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki Masitōnia, pea ke u toe haʻu mei Masitōnia kiate kimoutolu, pea ke ʻiate kimoutolu ke moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga ki Siutea.
16And to pass by you into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be brought on my way towards Judea.
17Pea ʻi heʻeku loto ki ai, naʻaku vaʻivaʻinga ʻaki? Pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni, ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni ʻo fakatatau ki he kakano, koeʻuhi ke ʻiate au ʻae “ʻIo ʻio,” mo “ʻIkai ʻikai?”
17Whereas then I was thus minded, did I use lightness? Or, the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that there should be with me, It is, and It is not?
18Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, ko ʻemau lea atu kiate kimoutolu naʻe ʻikai ko e “ʻIo” mo “ʻIkai.”
18But God is faithful, for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not.
19He ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻekimautolu, ʻio , ʻe au mo Silivenusi mo Timote, naʻe ʻikai ko e “ʻIo” mo “ʻIkai,” ka naʻe “ʻIo” pe ʻiate ia.
19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was preached among you by us, by me, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, was not, It is and It is not, but, It is, was in him.
20He ko e ngaahi talaʻofa kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku “ʻIo” pe ʻiate ia, pea “ʻEmeni” ʻiate ia, ki he ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimautolu.
20For all the promises of God are in him, It is; therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory.
21Pea ko e ʻOtua ia, ʻaia ʻoku ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimautolu fakataha mo kimoutolu ʻia Kalaisi, pea ko ia ia ne ne pani ʻakitautolu;
21Now he that confirmeth us with you in Christ, and that hath anointed us, is God:
22ʻAia kuo ne fakaʻilonga foki ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fakamoʻoni, ko e Laumālie ʻi hotau loto.
22Who also hath sealed us, and given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
23Ka ʻoku ou ui ki he ʻOtua ke ne fakamoʻoni ki hoku laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku teʻeki te u ʻalu atu ai ki Kolinitō.
23But I call God to witness upon my soul, that to spare you, I came not any more to Corinth:
24Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa ke mau puleʻi hoʻomou tui, ka ko e kau tokoni ki hoʻomou fiefia: he ʻoku mou tuʻu ʻi he tui.
24not because we exercise dominion over your faith: but we are helpers of your joy: for in faith you stand.
