1Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakamalaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.
1There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2He ko e fono ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe moʻui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo ne fakatauʻatāina au mei he fono ʻoe angahala mo e mate.
2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
3He ko ia naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi hono vaivai ʻi he kakano, kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene fekau hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona ʻi he tatau ʻoe kakano angahala, pea ko e feilaulau ki he angahala, pea ne fakavaivai ʻae angahala ʻi he kakano:
3For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
4Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono ʻekitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.
4that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
5He ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe kakano, ʻoku nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe kakano; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe Laumālie, ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie.
5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
6He ko e loto fakakakano, ko e mate ia; ka ko e loto fakalaumālie, ko e moʻui ia mo e melino.
6For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;
7Koeʻuhi ko e loto fakakakano, ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻulaloa ia ki he fono ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke pehē.
7because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.
8Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua.
8Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.
9Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he kakano ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻi he Laumālie, ʻo kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ia.
9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
10Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe Kalaisi, pea kuo mate moʻoni ʻae sino, ko e meʻa ʻi he angahala; kae moʻui ʻae laumālie, ko e meʻa ʻi he māʻoniʻoni.
10If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11Pea kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻo ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu mei he pekia, pea ko ia naʻa ne fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he pekia, te ne fakaake foki mo homou sino matengofua ʻaki hono Laumālie ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu.
11But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
12Ko ia, ʻe kāinga, ko e kau fai totongi ʻakitautolu, kae ʻikai ki he kakano, ke tau moʻui ki he kakano.
12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13He kapau te mou moʻui ki he kakano, te mou mate: ka ʻoka mou ka tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoe kakano ʻaki ʻae Laumālie, te mou moʻui.
13For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14He ko kinautolu ʻoku takiekina ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻakinautolu ʻoe ʻOtua.
14For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
15He ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe pōpula, ke mou toe manavahē; ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ohi, ʻaia ʻoku tau tangi ai, “ʻApā, Tamai.”
15For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
16Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie pē ko ia mo hotau laumālie, ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu:
16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17Pea kapau ko e fānau, pea tā ko e kau hoko; ko e kau hoko ki he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau hoko fakataha mo Kalaisi; ʻo kapau te tau mamahi mo ia, koeʻuhi ke tau maʻu ʻae hakeakiʻi fakataha mo ia.
17and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18He ʻoku ou pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke fakatatau ʻae ngaahi mamahi ʻoe moʻui ni ki he nāunau ʻaia ʻe fakahā kiate kitautolu.
18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
19He ko e holi lahi ʻoe māmani, ʻoku tatali ia ki he fakahā ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
19For the creation waits with eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
20He naʻe fakamoʻulaloa ʻa māmani ki he vaʻinga, (kae ʻikai loto ia ki ai, ka ko e meʻa ʻiate ia kuo ne fakamoʻulaloa ia,) ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:
20For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope
21He koeʻuhi ʻe fakahaofi ʻa māmani mei he haʻi ʻoe ʻauʻauha ki he tauʻatāina monūʻia ʻoe fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
21that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22He ʻoku tau ʻilo, ʻoku toʻetoʻe mo feinga ʻi he langā fakataha ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki heni.
22For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
23Pea ʻoku ʻikai ko ia pē, ka ko kitautolu foki, ʻakitautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻuluaki fua ʻoe Laumālie, ʻio, ʻoku tau toʻetoʻe ʻi loto ʻiate kitautolu, mo tatali ki he ohi, ʻa ia, ko e huhuʻi ʻo hotau sino.
23Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body.
24He ʻoku fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻamanaki lelei: ka ko e ʻamanaki ʻoku maʻu, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻamanaki ia, he ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata, ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻa ʻene kei ʻamanaki ki ai?
24For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
25Pea kapau ʻoku tau ʻamanaki lelei ki he meʻa ʻoku heʻeki ai te tau maʻu, ʻoku tau tatali faʻa kātaki pe ki ai.
25But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
26Pea ko e Laumālie foki, ʻoku ne tokoniʻi ʻetau ngaahi vaivai: he ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke tau lotua; ka ʻoku hūfekina ʻakitautolu ʻe he Laumālie pe ko ia ʻi he ngaahi toʻe ʻoku taʻefaʻaleaʻaki.
26In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.
27Ka ko ia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae loto, ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi mo e finangalo ʻoe Laumālie, he ʻoku ne hūfekina ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻo taau mo e ʻOtua.
27He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God.
28Pea ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku fengāueʻaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻakinautolu kuo ui ʻo tatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni.
28We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
29He ko kinautolu naʻa ne tomuʻa ʻilo, naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni foki ki he tatau ʻo hono ʻAlo, koeʻuhi ke hoko ia ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he kāinga tokolahi:
29For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30Pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, naʻa ne ui ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne ui, naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakinautolu foki: pea ko kinautolu naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
30Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31Pea ko e hā te tau leaʻaki ki he ngaahi meʻa ni? Ka kuo kau ʻae ʻOtua maʻatautolu, pea ko hai ʻe angatuʻu kiate kitautolu?
31What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32Ko ia ia naʻe ʻikai te ne mamae ki hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona, ka ne tukuange ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu kotoa pē, pea fēfē, ʻe ʻikai te ne foaki fiemālie foki mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?
32He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33Ko hai te ne talatalaakiʻi ʻae kakai kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua? Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku ne fakatonuhiaʻi.
33Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34Ko hai ia ʻoku ne fakahalaia? Ko Kalaisi ia naʻe pekia, ʻio, pea kuo toetuʻu hake, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻae hūfekina foki maʻatautolu.
34Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35Ko hai te ne fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi? ʻAe mahaki, pe ko e mamahi, pe ko e fakatanga, pe ko e honge, pe ko e telefua, pe ko e tuʻutāmaki, pe ko e heletā?
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36ʻO hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Koeʻuhi ko koe ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻakimautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē; pea lau ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ki he tāmateʻi.”
36Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37Ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻoku tau ikuna pea mālohi lahi ʻiate ia naʻe ʻofa kiate kitautolu.
37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38He ʻoku ou ʻilo pau, ʻe ʻikai ʻi he he kau ʻāngelo, pe ʻi he kau pule, pe ʻi he ngaahi mālohi, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko,
38For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39Pe ʻi he māʻolunga, pe ʻi he māʻulalo, pe ʻi ha meʻa kehe ʻe taha kuo ngaohi, ʻe ʻikai mafai ia ke fakamāvae ʻakitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.
39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
