Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ʻe kāinga, ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe ʻi he malumalu ʻoe ʻao ʻa ʻetau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu kotoa pē ʻi he tahi;
2and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
2Pea naʻe papitaiso kotoa pē ia Mōsese ʻi he ʻao pea ʻi he tahi;
3and all ate the same spiritual food;
3Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē ʻi he meʻakai fakalaumālie pe taha;
4and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was Christ.
4Pea naʻa nau inu kotoa pē ʻi he inu fakalaumālie pe taha: he naʻa nau inu mei he Maka fakalaumālie ko ia ʻaia naʻe muimui ʻiate kinautolu : pea ko e Maka ko ia ko Kalaisi.
5However with most of them, God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
5Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua ki honau tokolahi: he naʻe tulaki hifo ʻakinautolu ʻi he toafa.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
6Pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ko e ngaahi fakatātā kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau holi ki he ngaahi meʻa kovi, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau holi kovi.
7Don’t be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
7Pea ʻoua naʻa mou tauhi tamapua, ʻo hangē ko honau niʻihi; ʻo tatau mo ia kuo tohi, “Naʻe nofo hifo ʻae kakai ke kai mo inu, pea tutuʻu hake ʻo meʻe.”
8Let’s not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell.
8Pea ʻoua naʻa tau fai feʻauaki, ʻo hangē ko e fai ʻe honau niʻihi, pea tō ai ʻi he ʻaho pe taha ʻae toko ua mano mo e toko tolu afe.
9Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.
9Pea ʻoua naʻa tau ʻahiʻahi kia Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiʻahi ʻo honau niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae fanga ngata.
10Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.
10Pea ʻoua naʻa mou lāunga, ʻo hangē ko e lāunga ʻa honau niʻihi, pea nau ʻauha ʻi he fakaʻauha.
11Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.
11Pea naʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga: pea kuo tohi ia ko hotau akonakiʻi, ʻakitautolu kuo hoko ki ai hono ngataʻanga ʻoe kuonga.
12Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
12Pea ko ia ʻoku mahalo ʻoku ne tuʻu, ke vakai telia naʻa hinga ia.
13No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
13ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻahiʻahi ʻe tō kiate kimoutolu ka ko ia ʻoku faʻa hoko ki he tangata: ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke lahi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa te mou faʻa fai; ka ʻi he ʻahiʻahi ʻe tofa foki ʻe ia ʻae hala ke hao ai, koeʻuhi ke mou faʻa kātaki ia.
14Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
14Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, puna mei he tauhi tamapua.
15I speak as to wise men. Judge what I say.
15ʻOku ou lea atu ki ke kau tangata poto; mou fakamaau ki heʻeku lea.
16The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?
16Ko e ipu ʻoe tāpuaki ʻaia ʻoku mau tāpuakiʻi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi? Ko e mā ʻoku mau tofitofi, ʻikai ko e feohiʻanga ia ʻi he sino ʻo Kalaisi?
17Because there is one loaf of bread, we, who are many, are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf of bread.
17Pea koeʻuhi ʻoku taha pe ʻae foʻi mā, ko kitautolu ko e tokolahi ko e sino pe taha: he ʻoku tau ʻinasi fakataha ʻi he foʻi mā pe taha ko ia.
18Consider Israel according to the flesh. Don’t those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar?
18Vakai ki ʻIsileli fakakakano: ʻikai ʻoku kau fakataha mo e ʻesifeilaulau ʻakinautolu ʻoku kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau?
19What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?
19Ka ʻoku ou pehē ai ko e hā? Ko ha meʻa koā ʻae tamapua, pe ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku ʻatu ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua?
20But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I don’t desire that you would have fellowship with demons.
20ʻE ʻikai ; he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku feilaulau ʻaki ʻe he kakai Senitaile, ʻoku nau feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tēvolo, kae ʻikai ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku loto ke mou feohi mo e ngaahi tēvolo.
21You can’t both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t both partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
21ʻOku ʻikai te mou faʻa inu ʻi he ipu ʻae ʻEiki, mo e ipu ʻae ngaahi tēvolo: ʻoku ʻikai te mou faʻa kau ʻi he keinangaʻanga ʻae ʻEiki, mo e keinangaʻanga ʻae ngaahi tēvolo.
22Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
22Pea te tau fakafuaʻa ʻae ʻEiki? ʻOku tau mālohi kiate ia?
23“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.
23ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻoku ʻikai langa hake kotoa pē.
24Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.
24Ke ʻoua naʻa kumi taki taha hono lelei pe ʻoʻona, ka ki he lelei ʻae niʻihi kehe.
25Whatever is sold in the butcher shop, eat, asking no question for the sake of conscience,
25ʻIlonga ʻaia ʻoku fakatau ʻi he potu fakatau, kai ia, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto:
26for “the earth is the Lord’s, and its fullness.”
26He “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia.”
27But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
27Kapau ʻe talaki ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tui, pea ʻoku mou loto ke ʻalu ki ai; ko ia ʻoku tuku ʻi homou ʻao, kai, pea ʻoua naʻa fehuʻi telia ʻae loto.
28But if anyone says to you, “This was offered to idols,” don’t eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for the sake of conscience. For “the earth is the Lord’s, with all its fullness.”
28Ka ʻoka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo feilaulau ʻaki eni ki he ngaahi tamapua,” ʻoua naʻa mou kai ia, telia ia kuo ne fakahā, pea telia mo e loto foki: he “ʻoku ʻae ʻEiki ʻae fonua, mo hono fonu ʻo ia:”
29Conscience, I say, not your own, but the other’s conscience. For why is my liberty judged by another conscience?
29ʻOku ou pehē “ko e loto,” kae ʻikai ʻoʻou, ka ʻoe tokotaha: he ko e hā ʻoku fakamaau ai ʻeku tauʻatāina ʻaki ʻae loto ʻoe taha kehe?
30If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced for something I give thanks for?
30He kapau ko ha meʻa ʻi he ʻofa ʻoku ou maʻu ai ia, ko e hā ʻoku lauʻikovi ai au ʻi he meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi ai?”
31Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
31Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou kai, pe inu, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou fai, fai kotoa pē ke fakaongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua.
32Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;
32ʻOua naʻa fai fakaʻita, pe ki he kakai Siu, pe ki he kakai Senitaile, pe ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua:
33even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
33ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko au, ʻoku ou fakafiemālieʻi ʻae tangata kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo ʻikai kumi ʻae lelei ʻoʻoku, ka ko e lelei ʻoe tokolahi, koeʻuhi ke nau moʻui.
