Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia, tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tauʻatāina ʻaia kuo fakatauʻatāina ai ʻakitautolu ʻe Kalaisi, pea ʻoua naʻa toe ʻefihia ʻi he haʻamonga ʻoe pōpula.
1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2Vakai, ko au Paula, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, kapau te mou kamu, ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻa Kalaisi kiate kimoutolu.
2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3He ʻoku ou toe fakapapau ki he tangata kotoa pē kuo kamu, ʻoku totonu ke ne fai ʻae fono kotoa pē.
3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4Kuo fakataʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē kuo fakatonuhia ʻe he fono; kuo hinga ʻakimoutolu mei he ʻofa.
4Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
5He ʻoku tau tatali ʻi he Laumālie ki he ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe fakatonuhia ʻi he tui.
5For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻae kamu, pe ʻae taʻekamu: ka ko e tui ʻoku ngāue ʻi he ʻofa.
6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
7Naʻa mou lele lelei; ko hai naʻa ne taʻofi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou talangofua ki he moʻoni?
7Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
8ʻOku ʻikai meiate ia naʻa ne ui ʻakimoutolu ʻae tui ngofua ni.
8This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
9“Ko e meʻa siʻi fakatupu ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae takaonga kotoa.”
9A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
10ʻOku ou falala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki, ke ʻoua te mou loto kehe: ka ko ia ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻakimoutolu, ʻe fua pē ʻe ia hono tautea, neongo pe ko hai ia.
10I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
11Pea ko au, ʻe kāinga, kapau ʻoku ou kei malangaʻaki ʻae kamu, ko e hā ʻoku kei fakatanga ai au? Ka ko ia, pea tā kuo ngata hono ongokovi ʻoe ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi .
11And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
12ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tuʻusi ʻakinautolu ʻoku veuveuki ʻakimoutolu.
12I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
13He kuo ui ʻakimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ki he tauʻatāina; kaeʻoua naʻa meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae tauʻatāina ke fai fakakakano, kae fetauhiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa.
13For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
14He ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻae fono kotoa pē ʻi he lea ko eni ʻe taha, “Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.”
14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15Ka mou ka fetoutou feʻūʻuusiʻaki, mo fetoutou fefoloʻaki ʻakimoutolu, vakai telia naʻa mou fetoutou fefakaʻauhaʻaki pe ʻakimoutolu.
15But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16Ka ʻoku ou pehē, Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he Laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ai ki he holi ʻoe kakano.
16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17He ʻoku holi tuʻu ʻae kakano ki he Laumālie, mo e Laumālie ki he kakano: pea ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻakinaua ni, ko e taha ki he taha: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou faʻa fai ʻaia ʻoku mou loto ki ai.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18Kapau ʻoku takiekina ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie, ʻoku ʻikai te mou moʻulaloa ki he fono.
18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19Pea ʻoku hā mai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae kakano, ko eni ia; Ko e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e taʻemaʻa, mo e fakalielia,
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20Mo e tauhi tamapua, mo e fie mana, mo e taufehiʻa, mo e fekeʻikeʻi, mo e fefielahiʻaki, mo e lili, mo e feʻiteʻitani, mo e mavahevahe, mo e ngaahi hē,
20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21Mo e femehekaʻaki, mo e fefakapoʻaki, mo e faʻa kona, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kai, mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ni: ʻaia ʻoku ou tomuʻa tala ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala ʻi he kuonga kuo hili, ko kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22Ka ko e fua ʻoe Laumālie, ko e ʻofa, mo e fiefia, mo e melino, mo e kātaki fuoloa, mo e angavaivai, mo e angalelei, mo e tui,
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23Mo e angamalū, mo e taʻekona: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fono ke taʻofi eni.
23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi, kuo nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae kakano mo hono ngaahi ʻofa mo hono ngaahi holi.
24And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25Kapau ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi he Laumālie, ketau ʻaʻeva foki ʻi he Laumālie.
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26ʻOua naʻa tau holi ki he fakamālō launoa, ʻo fefakalotokoviʻaki pe ʻakitautolu, ʻo femehekaʻaki pe ʻakitautolu.
26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
