Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ko ia ko kitautolu ʻoku mālohi ʻoku totonu ke tau kātaki ʻae ngaahi vaivai ʻoe vaivai, pea ʻoua naʻa fakafiemālie kiate kitautolu pē.
1We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2Ke tau taki taha fakafiemālie kotoa pē ki hono kaungāʻapi, ke lelei ai mo langa hake ai ia.
2Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3He naʻe ʻikai fakafiemālie ʻa Kalaisi ʻe ia; kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e ngaahi manuki ʻanautolu naʻe manukiʻi koe, naʻe tō kiate au.”
3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4He ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē naʻe tohi ʻi muʻa, naʻe tohi ko hotau akonaki, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kātaki mo e fakafiemālie ʻoe ngaahi tohi, ketau maʻu ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei.
4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5Pea ko eni, ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe faʻa kātaki mo e fiemālie, ke mou felototatauʻaki pē kiate kimoutolu ʻo tatau mo Kalaisi Sisu:
5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6Koeʻuhi ke mou loto taha pē, mo ngutu taha pē, ʻi he fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻio, ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7Ko ia ke mou femāʻuaki ʻakimoutolu taki taha, ʻo hangē ko e maʻu foki ʻe Kalaisi ʻakitautolu ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fakahā ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻoe kamu, koeʻuhi ko e moʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua, ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi talaʻofa naʻe fai ki he ngaahi tamai:
8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9Pea koeʻuhi ke fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e meʻa ko ia te u fakaongolelei ai koe ʻi he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻo hiva ki ho huafa.”
9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke fiefia ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, fakataha mo hono kakai.”
10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11Pea toe pehē, “Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEiki ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi Senitaile kotoa pē: fakaongolelei ia, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai kotoa pē.”
11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12Pea toe lea ʻa ʻIsaia, “ʻE ai ha aka ʻo Sese, pea ʻe tupu hake ia ke pule ki he kakai Senitaile; ʻe ʻamanaki lelei ʻae kakai Senitaile kiate ia.”
12And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13Pea ko eni, ʻofa ke fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻoe ʻamanaki lelei, ʻaki ʻae fiefia mo e melino ʻi he tui, koeʻuhi ke mou mohu ʻamanaki lelei, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14Pea ko au foki, ʻoku ou ʻilo pau kiate kimoutolu, ko hoku kāinga, kuo fonu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi he angalelei, kuo fakapito ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻilo kotoa pē, mo e mafai foki ke fetokoniʻaki ʻakimoutolu.
14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15Ka kuo u tohi mālohi atu nai kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ke fakamanatuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻaia kuo foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻOtua,
15Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16Koeʻuhi ke u hoko ai ko e faifekau ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ki he kakai Senitaile, ʻo tauhi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻaonga hono feilaulau ʻaki ʻoe ngaahi Senitaile, kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17Ko ia ʻoku ou maʻu ʻaia ke u fakamālō ai ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku kau ki he ʻOtua.
17I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18He ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Kalaisi ʻiate au, ke fakatalangofua ʻae ngaahi Senitaile, ʻi he lea mo e ngāue,
18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19ʻI he ngaahi mana lahi mo fakaofo, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo ʻaonga ʻeku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisi, ʻo fai mei Selūsalema, ʻo fakatakamilo ʻo aʻu ki Ililekomi.
19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20ʻIo, naʻe pehē ʻeku feinga ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻikai ʻi he potu kuo huaʻaki ai ʻa kalaisi, telia naʻaku fokotuʻu ʻoha tangata kehe.
20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
21Kae hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai leaʻaki ia ki ai, te nau mamata: pea ko kinautolu naʻe ʻikai fanongo, te nau ʻilo.”
21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22Ko ia ko e meʻa ko ia foki kuo lahi ʻene taʻofi au, pea kuo ʻikai ai te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu.
22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23Ka ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai kei toe haʻaku potu ʻi he ngaahi fonua ni, pea ʻi heʻeku holi lahi ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu;
23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24ʻOka hoko hoku fononga, pea ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga, ʻoka hili ʻeku maʻu ʻae fiemālie siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu.
24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company .
25Ka ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻalu ki Selūsalema, ke tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni.
25But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26He naʻe lelei kiate kinautolu ʻo Masitōnia mo ʻAkeia ke fai ʻae tānaki koloa maʻae kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻoku masiva ʻi Selūsalema.
26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27Kuo nau fai loto lelei eni; pea ko honau kau fai totongi totonu ʻakinautolu. He kapau kuo fakakau ʻae Senitaile ke maʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie, ko ʻenau ngāue totonu ia ke tokoni ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamaama.
27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28Ko ia ka hili ʻeku fai eni, pea u fakamaʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae fua ni, te u ʻalu atu ʻiate kimoutolu ki Sepeini.
28When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo, ʻo kau ka aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu, te u ʻalu atu ʻi hono fonu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi.
29And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻoe Laumālie, ke mou fekuki mo au ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi lotu ki he ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko au;
30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31Koeʻuhi ke fakahaofi au meiate kinautolu ʻi Siutea ʻoku talangataʻa; pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku ngāue ki Selūsalema, ke ʻaonga ia ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni;
31That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32Pea koeʻuhi ke u aʻu atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fiefia ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ke fakafiemālieʻi au mo kimoutolu.
32That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33Pea ko eni, ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe melino. ʻEmeni
33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
