1Pea kapau kuo mou toetuʻu mo Kalaisi, mou kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ki ai ʻa Kalaisi ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua.
1Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above; where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God:
2Mou faʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi ʻolunga, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi māmani.
2Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.
3He kuo mou mate, pea ʻoku fufū hoʻomou moʻui mo Kalaisi ʻi he ʻOtua.
3For you are dead; and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4ʻOka fakahā mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko ʻetau moʻuiʻanga, te mou toki hā ai mo ia foki ʻi he nāunau.
4When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory.
5Ko ia mou tāmateʻi homou ngaahi kupu ʻoku ʻi māmani; ko e feʻauaki, mo e ngāue ʻuli, mo e fakalielia, mo e holi kovi, mo e manumanu, ʻaia ko e tauhi tamapua:
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is the service of idols.
6He koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku hoko ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fānau talangataʻa:
6For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief,
7ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai foki ʻi muʻa, ʻi hoʻomou moʻui ki ai.
7In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them.
8Ka ko eni ʻoku mou siʻaki ʻa eni kotoa pē foki; ʻae ʻita, mo e lili, mo e fakafasifasi, mo e kapekape, mo e lea ʻuli mei homou ngutu.
8But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.
9ʻOua naʻa mou felohiʻaki, he kuo mou siʻaki ʻae tangata motuʻa mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue;
9Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds,
10Pea kuo mou ʻai ʻa e tangata foʻou, ʻaia kuo fakafoʻou ʻi he ʻilo, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tatau ʻo ia naʻa ne fakatupu ia:
10And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him.
11ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha Kiliki pe ha Siu, ha kamu pe ha taʻekamu, ha muli, pe ha Sitia, ha pōpula, pe ha tauʻatāina: ka ko hono kātoa kotoa ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
11Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all, and in all.
12Ko ia ko kimoutolu, ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻofeina, mou ai, ʻo taau mo e kakai fili ʻae ʻOtua, ʻae manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, mo e loto angavaivai, mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa;
12Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience:
13ʻO fetoutou fekātakiʻaki pe, mo fefakamolemoleʻaki pe, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku koviʻia ia ki ha taha: ʻo hangē ko e fakamolemole ʻe Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ke pehē pe ʻakimoutolu.
13Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.
14Pea ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa, ʻaia ko e noʻo ʻoe haohaoa.
14But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection:
15Pea tuku ke pule ʻi homou loto ʻae melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai foki ʻi he sino pe taha; pea ke mou fakafetaʻi.
15And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.
16Ke nofoʻia ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he poto kotoa pē; pea mou feakonakiʻaki mo fetokoniʻaki ʻi he ngaahi saame, mo e lea mālie, mo e ngaahi hiva fakalaumālie, ʻo hiva mo e ʻofa ʻi homou loto ki he ʻEiki.
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God.
17Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai ʻi he lea pe ʻi he ngāue, fai kotoa pē ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻiate ia.
17All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18ʻAe kau fefine, fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, he ʻoku ngali ia ʻi he ʻEiki.
18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.
19ʻAe kau tangata, ʻofa ki homou uaifi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai anga fakaʻita kiate kinautolu.
19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter towards them.
20ʻAe fānau, fai talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ʻoku lelei lahi ia ki he ʻEiki.
20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.
21ʻAe ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakafiufiu ki hoʻomou fānau, telia naʻa nau fiu ai.
21Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged.
22ʻAe kau tamaioʻeiki, fai talangofua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ki homou ʻeiki fakakakano; ʻoua naʻa ʻi he ngāue fakamamata pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau fakamālie ki he tangata; ka ʻi he loto totonu, ʻo manavahē ki he ʻOtua:
22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not serving to the eye, as pleasing men, but in simplicity of heart, fearing God.
23Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai, fai loto lelei, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki, kae ʻikai ki he tangata:
23Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men:
24ʻI hoʻomou ʻilo temou maʻu mei he ʻEiki ʻae totongi ko e tofiʻa: he ʻoku mou tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ko Kalaisi.
24Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.
25Ka ko ia ʻoku fai taʻetotonu, te ne maʻu ʻo hangē ko e taʻetotonu kuo ne fai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha filifilimānako ki he kakai.
25For he that doth wrong, shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully: and there is no respect of persons with God.
