Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I commanded the assemblies of Galatia, you do likewise.
1Pea ko e meʻa ki he tānaki tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ke fai pe ʻekimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fekau ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia.
2On the first day of every week, let each one of you save as he may prosper, that no collections are made when I come.
2ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, ke mou taki taha vaheʻi ʻo tuku ʻae tokoni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono fakamonūʻiaʻi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tānaki ʻo kau ka hoko atu.
3When I arrive, I will send whoever you approve with letters to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
3Pea kau ka hoko atu, ko kinautolu te mou loto ki ai, te u fekau ʻakinautolu mo e ngaahi tohi, ke ʻave hoʻomou tokoni ʻofa ki Selūsalema.
4If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
4Pea kapau ʻe lelei ʻeku ʻalu foki, te nau ʻalu mo au.
5I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, for I am passing through Macedonia.
5Pea ko eni, te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoka hili ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia: he te u ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia.
6But with you it may be that I will stay with you, or even winter with you, that you may send me on my journey wherever I go.
6Pea te u nofo ʻapē ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko mo kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga ki ha potu te u ʻalu ki ai.
7For I do not wish to see you now in passing, but I hope to stay a while with you, if the Lord permits.
7He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u fou atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fononga ni; ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki te u nofo fuoloa siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe lelei ki he ʻEiki.
8But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost,
8Ka te u tatali ʻi ʻEfesō ʻo aʻu ki he Penitekosi.
9for a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.
9He kuo fakaava kiate au ʻae matapā lahi pea ʻaonga, pea ʻoku tokolahi ʻae fili.
10Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.
10Pea ko eni, kapau ʻe hoko atu ʻa Timote, vakai ke ʻiate kimoutolu taʻemanavahē ia: he ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo hangē foki ko au.
11Therefore let no one despise him. But set him forward on his journey in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brothers.
11Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa manukiʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha: kae tokoniʻi ia, ke fononga mai ʻi he fiemālie, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ia kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻamanaki kiate ia fakataha mo e kāinga.
12Now concerning Apollos the brother, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not at all his desire to come now; but he will come when he has an opportunity.
12Pea ko e meʻa ki hotau kāinga ko ʻApolosi, naʻaku kole lahi kiate ia ke ne ʻalu atu mo e kāinga kiate kimoutolu: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi loto ia ke ʻalu atu ʻi he kuonga ni; ka ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi ha kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie kiate ia.
13Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!
13Mou leʻo, tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, fai ʻo ngali mo e tangata, mou mālohi.
14Let all that you do be done in love.
14Ke fai hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ʻofa.
15Now I beg you, brothers—you know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have set themselves to serve the saints—
15ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae fale ʻo Setivena, ko e ʻuluaki fua ia ʻi ʻAkeia, pea kuo nau tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga,
16that you also be in subjection to such, and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.
16Ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakimoutolu ki he kakai pehē, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tokoni mo kimautolu, pea ngāue.
17I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for that which was lacking on your part, they supplied.
17ʻOku ou fiemālie ʻi he haʻu ʻa Setivena mo Fotuneto mo ʻAkaiko: he ko ia naʻe toe meiate kimoutolu kuo nau totongi.
18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge those who are like that.
18He kuo nau fakafiemālieʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoʻoku mo kimoutolu: ko ia mou fai ʻofa ki he kakai pehē.
19The assemblies of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, together with the assembly that is in their house.
19Ko e ngaahi siasi ʻo ʻEsia ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku ʻofa lahi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pisila, pea mo e siasi ʻoku ʻi hona fale.
20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
20ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu. Mou feʻofoʻofani ʻaki ʻae ʻuma māʻoniʻoni.
21This greeting is by me, Paul, with my own hand.
21Ko e tohi ʻofa eni ʻa Paula ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
22If any man doesn’t love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be cursed. Come, Lord!
22Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke malaʻia ia. ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻEiki.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
23Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
24My love to all of you in Christ Jesus. Amen.
24Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻeku ʻofa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. ʻEmeni.
