Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
1Ko ia, tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tauʻatāina ʻaia kuo fakatauʻatāina ai ʻakitautolu ʻe Kalaisi, pea ʻoua naʻa toe ʻefihia ʻi he haʻamonga ʻoe pōpula.
2Behold, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.
2Vakai, ko au Paula, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, kapau te mou kamu, ʻe ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻa Kalaisi kiate kimoutolu.
3Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
3He ʻoku ou toe fakapapau ki he tangata kotoa pē kuo kamu, ʻoku totonu ke ne fai ʻae fono kotoa pē.
4You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.
4Kuo fakataʻeʻaonga ʻa Kalaisi kiate kimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē kuo fakatonuhia ʻe he fono; kuo hinga ʻakimoutolu mei he ʻofa.
5For we through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.
5He ʻoku tau tatali ʻi he Laumālie ki he ʻamanaki lelei ʻoe fakatonuhia ʻi he tui.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision amounts to anything, but faith working through love.
6He ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga siʻi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ʻae kamu, pe ʻae taʻekamu: ka ko e tui ʻoku ngāue ʻi he ʻofa.
7You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?
7Naʻa mou lele lelei; ko hai naʻa ne taʻofi ʻakimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou talangofua ki he moʻoni?
8This persuasion is not from him who calls you.
8ʻOku ʻikai meiate ia naʻa ne ui ʻakimoutolu ʻae tui ngofua ni.
9A little yeast grows through the whole lump.
9“Ko e meʻa siʻi fakatupu ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae takaonga kotoa.”
10I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.
10ʻOku ou falala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki, ke ʻoua te mou loto kehe: ka ko ia ʻoku ne veuveuki ʻakimoutolu, ʻe fua pē ʻe ia hono tautea, neongo pe ko hai ia.
11But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.
11Pea ko au, ʻe kāinga, kapau ʻoku ou kei malangaʻaki ʻae kamu, ko e hā ʻoku kei fakatanga ai au? Ka ko ia, pea tā kuo ngata hono ongokovi ʻoe ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi .
12I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.
12ʻAmusiaange ʻeau kuo tuʻusi ʻakinautolu ʻoku veuveuki ʻakimoutolu.
13For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.
13He kuo ui ʻakimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ki he tauʻatāina; kaeʻoua naʻa meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae tauʻatāina ke fai fakakakano, kae fetauhiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa.
14For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
14He ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻae fono kotoa pē ʻi he lea ko eni ʻe taha, “Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.”
15But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you don’t consume one another.
15Ka mou ka fetoutou feʻūʻuusiʻaki, mo fetoutou fefoloʻaki ʻakimoutolu, vakai telia naʻa mou fetoutou fefakaʻauhaʻaki pe ʻakimoutolu.
16But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.
16Ka ʻoku ou pehē, Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he Laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ai ki he holi ʻoe kakano.
17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.
17He ʻoku holi tuʻu ʻae kakano ki he Laumālie, mo e Laumālie ki he kakano: pea ʻoku fai kehekehe ʻakinaua ni, ko e taha ki he taha: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou faʻa fai ʻaia ʻoku mou loto ki ai.
18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
18Kapau ʻoku takiekina ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie, ʻoku ʻikai te mou moʻulaloa ki he fono.
19Now the deeds of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,
19Pea ʻoku hā mai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae kakano, ko eni ia; Ko e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e taʻemaʻa, mo e fakalielia,
20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,
20Mo e tauhi tamapua, mo e fie mana, mo e taufehiʻa, mo e fekeʻikeʻi, mo e fefielahiʻaki, mo e lili, mo e feʻiteʻitani, mo e mavahevahe, mo e ngaahi hē,
21envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.
21Mo e femehekaʻaki, mo e fefakapoʻaki, mo e faʻa kona, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kai, mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ni: ʻaia ʻoku ou tomuʻa tala ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala ʻi he kuonga kuo hili, ko kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,
22Ka ko e fua ʻoe Laumālie, ko e ʻofa, mo e fiefia, mo e melino, mo e kātaki fuoloa, mo e angavaivai, mo e angalelei, mo e tui,
23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
23Mo e angamalū, mo e taʻekona: pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fono ke taʻofi eni.
24Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.
24Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi, kuo nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae kakano mo hono ngaahi ʻofa mo hono ngaahi holi.
25If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.
25Kapau ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi he Laumālie, ketau ʻaʻeva foki ʻi he Laumālie.
26Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
26ʻOua naʻa tau holi ki he fakamālō launoa, ʻo fefakalotokoviʻaki pe ʻakitautolu, ʻo femehekaʻaki pe ʻakitautolu.
