Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia ko kimautolu, ko e kaunga ngāue fakataha, ʻoku mau fakakolekole foki ke ʻoua naʻa mou maʻu tōnoa ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
1We then, as workers together with him , beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2(He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u ongoʻi koe ʻi he kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie, pea ʻi he ʻaho fakamoʻui kuo u tokoniʻi koe:” vakai, ko eni ʻae kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie: vakai, ko eni ʻae ʻaho ʻoe fakamoʻui.)
2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
3Ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tūkiaʻanga ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakaongokovi ʻae ngāue:
3Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4Ka mau fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo taau mo e kau faifekau ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi he faʻa kātaki, ʻi he ngaahi mamahi, ʻi he ngaahi masiva, ʻi he ngaahi fakamamahi lahi,
4But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5ʻI he haha, ʻi he nofo fale fakapōpula, ʻi he maveuveu, ʻi he ngaahi ngāue mamafa, ʻi he faʻa leʻo, ʻi he faʻa ʻaukai;
5In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6ʻI he māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻilo, ʻi he kātaki fuoloa, ʻi he angaʻofa, ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻofa taʻeloi,
6By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7ʻI he lea ʻoe moʻoni, ʻi he mālohi ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi he mahafutau ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu pea ʻi he toʻohema,
7By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8ʻI he fakaʻapaʻapa mo e taʻefakaʻapaʻapa, ʻi he ongokovi mo e ongolelei: ʻo hangē ko e kau kākā, ka ʻoku moʻoni;
8By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9Hangē ko e taʻeʻilo, ka ʻoku ʻilo lahi; hangē ko e mate, pea ʻiloange, ʻoku tau moʻui; hangē ko e tautea, ka ʻoku ʻikai tāmateʻi;
9As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10Hangē ko e loto mamahi, kamau fiefia maʻuaipē; hangē ko e masiva, ka ʻoku mau fakakoloaʻia ʻae tokolahi; hangē ko e taʻemaʻu-ha-meʻa, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
10As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
11ʻAe kakai Kolinitō, ʻoku matoʻo homau ngutu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku tupu ʻo lahi homau loto.
11O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
12ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻefihia ʻiate kimautolu, ka ʻoku mou ʻefihia ʻi he ʻofa ʻamoutolu pe.
12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
13Pea ko eni, ko hono totongi ʻi he meʻa ni, (ʻoku ou lea ʻo hangē ki heʻeku fānau) ke fakaʻataʻatā ʻakimoutolu foki.
13Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14ʻOua naʻa mou kau fakataha mo e kakai taʻetui: he ʻoku feohi fēfē ʻae māʻoniʻoni mo e taʻemāʻoniʻoni? Pea ʻoku feohi fēfē ʻae maama mo e poʻuli?
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15Pea ʻoku kau taha fēfē ʻa Kalaisi mo Pileali? Pea ʻoku ʻinasi taha ʻi he hā ʻaia ʻoku tui mo e taʻetui?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16Pea ʻoku fai tatau ʻi he hā ʻae fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua mo e ngaahi tamapua? He ko e fale tapu ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui; ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua, “Te u nofoʻia ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻiate kinautolu; pea ko honau ʻOtua au, pea ko hoku kakai ʻakinautolu.”
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Ko ia mou haʻu meiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻataʻatā ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoua naʻa ala ki he taʻemaʻa; pea te u maʻu ʻakimoutolu:”
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you,
18ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki Māfimafi, “Te u ʻiate kimoutolu ko e Tamai, pea ko hoku ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻakimoutolu.”
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
