King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea hili ʻae taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā, pea u toe ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema mo Pānepasa, peau ʻave ʻa Taitusi foki.
1Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
2Naʻaku ʻalu hake ʻi hono fakahā mai, ʻo fakaʻilo atu kiate kinautolu ʻae ongoongolelei ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ou malangaʻaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile, ka ʻi he fufū pe kiate kinautolu taki taha naʻe ongoongo, telia naʻa ʻiloange, ʻoku ou lele pe kuo u lele taʻeʻaonga.
2And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
3Pea ko Taitusi, ko e Kiliki, naʻe ʻiate au ia, naʻe ʻikai siʻi te nau fekau ke kamu ia:
3But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
4Pea koeʻuhi ko e kāinga loi naʻe omi fakafufū, ʻonau hū fakafufū mai ke matakiʻi ʻetau tauʻatāina, ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, koeʻuhi ke nau fakapōpulaʻi ʻakitautolu:
4And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5Pea naʻe ʻikai siʻi te mau fakavaivai ki ai ʻi ha feituʻulaʻā siʻi ʻe taha; koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei.
5To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6Pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻe lahi hake, (neongo ʻenau lahi, koeʻumaʻā ia kiate au: ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he tangata:) he ko kinautolu naʻe lahi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ha meʻa foʻou kiate au:
6But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo tuku kiate au ʻae ongoongolelei ki he taʻekamu, ʻo hangē ko e tuku kia Pita ʻaia ʻoe kamu;
7But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
8(He ko ia naʻa ne ngāue mālohi ʻia Pita ki he ngāue fakaʻaposetolo ki he kamu, ko ia ia naʻe mālohi ʻiate au ki he kakai Senitaile:)
8(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9Pea kuo mamata ʻa Semisi, mo Kifasi, mo Sione, ʻakinautolu naʻe hangē ko e ngaahi pou, ki he ʻofa kuo foaki kiate au, naʻa nau tuku mai kiate au mo Pānepasa ʻae nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe feʻofoʻofani: ke ma ʻalu ki he kakai Senitaile, ka ko kinautolu ki he kamu.
9And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
10ʻO nau pehē pe, kema manatu ki he kakai masiva; ʻae meʻa ko ia foki naʻaku fie fai ki ai.
10Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
11Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Pita ki ʻAniteoke, naʻaku tuʻu hake ʻo valoki ia, koeʻuhi naʻe totonu hono valokiʻi.
11But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12Koeʻuhi ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei ʻa Semisi, naʻe kai fakataha ia mo e kakai Senitaile: ka ʻi heʻenau hoko mai, naʻe mahuʻi ʻo ne fakamavae ia, ko e manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoe kamu.
12For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13Pea fai mālualoi mo ia ʻa hono toe ʻoe kau Siu foki; ko ia naʻe ʻauhia ai foki ʻa Pānepasa ʻi heʻenau mālualoi.
13And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14Ka ʻi heʻeku mamata naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva totonu, ʻo fakatatau ki he moʻoni ʻoe ongoongolelei, ne u pehē ai kia Pita, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, “Kapau ko koe, ko e Siu, ʻoku ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he anga ʻoe kakai Senitaile, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kakai Siu, ko e hā ʻoku ke puleʻi ai ʻae kakai Senitaile ke fai ʻo hangē ko e kakai Siu?”
14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15Ko kitautolu ʻoku tupu ko e kakai Siu, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e “kau angahala ʻae kakai Senitaile,”
15We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
16ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhia ha tangata ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono, ka ʻi he tui ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo tau tui kia Sisu Kalaisi, koeʻuhi ke fakatonuhia ʻakitautolu ʻe he tui ʻa Kalaisi, kae ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono: he ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ha tokotaha ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻoe fono.
16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17Pea ka lolotonga ʻetau kumi ke tau tonuhia meia Kalaisi, kuo ʻilo ʻakitautolu ko e kau angahala, pea kuo hoko ai ʻa Kalaisi ko e tauhi ʻoe angahala? ʻIkai ʻaupito.
17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18He kapau ʻoku ou toe langaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻaku fakaʻauha, ta ʻoku ou ngaohi au ko e angahala.
18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19He ko e meʻa ʻi he fono kuo mate ai au ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u moʻui ki he ʻOtua.
19For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20Kuo tutuki au ke mate ʻo hangē ko Kalaisi: ka ʻoku ou moʻui; ka ʻoku ʻikai ko au, ka ko Kalaisi ʻoku moʻui ʻiate au: pea ko ʻeku moʻui eni ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ou moʻui ʻi he tui ki he ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa kiate au, ʻo ne foaki ia ʻe ia koeʻuhi ko au.
20I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21ʻOku ʻikai te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua: he kapau ʻoku mei he fono ʻae fakatonuhia, pea tā kuo pekia taʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi.
21I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
