Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea ka ko ia, pea te tau pehē ko e hā? Te tau kei fai angahala kae tupulaki ʻae ʻofa?
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻE fēfē ʻetau kei moʻui ʻi he angahala ka kuo tau mate ki ai?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou.
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5He kapau kuo tau tō fakataha mo ia ʻi he tatau ʻo ʻene pekia, te tau ʻi he tatau foki ʻo ʻene toetuʻu:
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6ʻO ʻilo eni, ko hotau motuʻa tangata kuo tāmateʻi fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻae sino ʻoe angahala, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau toe tauhi ʻae angahala.
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8Ko eni, kapau ʻoku tau mate fakataha mo Kalaisi, ʻoku tau tui te tau moʻui fakataha foki mo ia:
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9ʻI heʻetau ʻilo kuo fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, pea ʻe ʻikai toe pekia ia; ʻe ʻikai toe puleʻi ia ʻe he mate.
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10He ko ʻene mate, ko e mate tuʻo taha pē koeʻuhi ko e angahala: ka ko ʻene moʻui, ko e moʻui ia ki he ʻOtua.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11Pea ke pehē foki ʻae lau ʻakimoutolu ko e mate moʻoni ki he angahala, ka ko e moʻui ki he ʻOtua ʻi hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke pule ʻae angahala ʻi homou sino matengofua, ke mou talangofua ki ai ʻi hono ngaahi holi.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Pea ʻoua naʻa mou ʻatu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni ki he angahala: kae ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻo taau mo kinautolu kuo hao mei he mate, pea mo homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ki he ʻOtua.
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai puleʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he angahala: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15Pea fēfē ai? Te tau fai angahala, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te tau moʻulaloa ki he fono, ka ki he ʻofa? ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko ia ia te mou ʻatu ʻakimoutolu ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ke talangofua ki ai, ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mou talangofua ki ai; pe ko e angahala ki he mate, pe ko e talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni?
16Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17Naʻa mou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, kae fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua mei he loto ki he anga ʻoe akonaki naʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu.
17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahala, kuo mou hoko ai ʻo talangofua ki he māʻoniʻoni.
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19ʻOku ou lea ʻo hangē pe ko e tangata, ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai ʻo homou kakano: ʻo hangē naʻa mou tukuange homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he anga fakalielia, pea mo e fai angakovi ke fai kovi; ke pehē eni hoʻomou tuku atu homou ngaahi kupuʻi sino ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angatonu ke fai māʻoniʻoni.
19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20He koeʻuhi ʻi hoʻomou nofo ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he angahala, naʻa mou ʻataʻatā mei he māʻoniʻoni.
20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21Ka ko e hā ʻae fua ne mou maʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku mou mā ai ni? He ko e ngataʻanga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia ko e mate.
21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22Ka ko eni, ʻi hono fakatauʻatāina ʻakimoutolu mei he angahala, pea hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he ʻOtua, kuo ʻi ai homou fua ko e māʻoniʻoni, pea ko hono ngataʻanga ko e moʻui taʻengata.
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23He ko e totongi ʻoe angahala ko e mate; ka ko e moʻui taʻengata ko e foaki ʻofa ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki.
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
