Προς Κορινθιους Α΄ 9
1 Οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐλεύθερος; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἀπόστολος; οὐχὶ Ἰησοῦν τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν ἑώρακα; οὐ τὸ ἔργον μου ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν κυρίῳ;
ʻIkai ko e ʻaposetolo au? ʻIkai ʻoku ou ʻataʻatā? ʻIkai kuo u mamata kia Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki? ʻIkai ko ʻeku ngāue ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki?
2 εἰ ἄλλοις οὐκ εἰμὶ ἀπόστολος, ἀλλά γε ὑμῖν εἰμι· ἡ γὰρ σφραγίς μου τῆς ἀποστολῆς ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν κυρίῳ.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻaposetolo au ki he niʻihi, ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu: he ko e fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻeku ngāue fakaʻaposetolo ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki.
3 ἡ ἐμὴ ἀπολογία τοῖς ἐμὲ ἀνακρίνουσίν ἐστιν αὕτη·
Ko ʻeku tala ʻa eni kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻeke kiate au:
4 μὴ οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν;
ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate kimautolu ke faʻiteliha ki he kai mo e inu?
5 μὴ οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν ἀδελφὴν γυναῖκα περιάγειν, ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ ἀπόστολοι καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ Κηφᾶς;
ʻIkai ʻoku mau faʻiteliha ki he taki fano ʻo ha tuofefine, pe ha uaifi, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻaposetolo niʻihi, pea hangē ko e kāinga ʻoe ʻEiki, mo Kifasi?
6 ἢ μόνος ἐγὼ καὶ Βαρνάβας οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν μὴ ἐργάζεσθαι;
Pe ko au pe mo Pānepasa, ʻikai ʻoku ma faʻiteliha ke tuku ʻae ngāue?
7 τίς στρατεύεται ἰδίοις ὀψωνίοις ποτέ; τίς φυτεύει ἀμπελῶνα, καὶ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐσθίει; [ἢ] τίς ποιμαίνει ποίμνην, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ γάλακτος τῆς ποίμνης οὐκ ἐσθίει;
Ko hai ʻoku ʻalu ke fai ʻae tau, kae totongi ia ʻe ia pe? Ko hai ʻoku tō ʻae ngoue vaine, kae ʻikai kai ʻe ia hono fua? Pea ko hai, ʻoku ne fafanga ʻae fanga manu, pea ʻikai kai hono huʻahuhu ʻoe fanga manu?
8 μὴ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον ταῦτα λαλῶ; ἢ καὶ ὁ νόμος ταῦτα οὐ λέγει;
ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ka ko e tangata pe? ʻIkai ʻoku pehē pe ʻae fono?
9 ἐν γὰρ τῷ Μωυσέως νόμῳ γέγραπται, Οὐ κημώσεις βοῦν ἀλοῶντα. μὴ τῶν βοῶν μέλει τῷ θεῷ;
He kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, “ʻOua naʻa ke nonoʻo ʻae ngutu ʻoe pulu ʻoku malaki ʻae uite.” ʻOku tokanga ʻae ʻOtua ki he fanga pulu [pe]?
10 ἢ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς πάντως λέγει; δι᾽ ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἐγράφη, ὅτι ὀφείλει ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ὁ ἀροτριῶν ἀροτριᾶν, καὶ ὁ ἀλοῶν ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι τοῦ μετέχειν.
Kae ʻikai ʻoku pehē pe koeʻuhi ko kitautolu? Ko e moʻoni kuo tohi ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu: koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne keli, ʻoku totonu ʻene keli ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei; pea ko ia ʻoku ne aʻuaʻu ʻae uite, ke fai ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei, ke ne lavaʻi ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻamanaki lelei ki ai.
11 εἰ ἡμεῖς ὑμῖν τὰ πνευματικὰ ἐσπείραμεν, μέγα εἰ ἡμεῖς ὑμῶν τὰ σαρκικὰ θερίσομεν;
Kapau kuo mau tūtuuʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie, pea ko ha meʻa lahi koā ʻo kapau te mau utu hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa fakamaama?
12 εἰ ἄλλοι τῆς ὑμῶν ἐξουσίας μετέχουσιν, οὐ μᾶλλον ἡμεῖς; ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἐχρησάμεθα τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ ταύτῃ, ἀλλὰ πάντα στέγομεν, ἵνα μή τινα ἐγκοπὴν δῶμεν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ χριστοῦ.
Pea kapau ʻoku faʻa maʻu ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe he niʻihi ʻae meʻa totonu ni, ʻikai ʻoku totonu lahi ia kiate kimautolu? Naʻe ʻikai te mau fai ki he meʻa totonu ni; ka ʻoku mau kātaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, telia naʻa mau taʻofi ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi.
13 οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι οἱ τὰ ἱερὰ ἐργαζόμενοι τὰ ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ ἐσθίουσιν; οἱ τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ παρεδρεύοντες τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ συμμερίζονται;
ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko kinautolu ʻoku ngāue ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu, ʻoku nau kai mei he falelotu lahi? Pea mo kinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻi he ʻesifeilaulau, ʻoku nau ʻinasi fakataha mo e ʻesifeilaulau?
14 οὕτως καὶ ὁ κύριος διέταξεν τοῖς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καταγγέλλουσιν ἐκ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ζῆν·
Pea kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻEiki ke pehē foki, ke ʻilonga ʻakinautolu ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, ke nau maʻu ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻae meʻa ki he sino.
15 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ κέχρημαι οὐδενὶ τούτων· οὐκ ἔγραψα δὲ ταῦτα, ἵνα οὕτως γένηται ἐν ἐμοί· καλὸν γάρ μοι μᾶλλον ἀποθανεῖν, ἢ τὸ καύχημά μου οὐδεὶς κενώσει.
Ka kuo ʻikai te u ala ki he ngaahi meʻa ni: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni koeʻuhi ke fai pehē kiate au: he ʻoku lelei lahi ʻeku mate, ʻi he kau ʻe ha taha ke ne fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻeku vikiviki.
16 ἐὰν γὰρ εὐαγγελίζωμαι, οὐκ ἔστιν μοι καύχημα· ἀνάγκη γάρ μοι ἐπίκειται· οὐαὶ γάρ μοί ἐστιν, ἐὰν μὴ εὐαγγελίσωμαι.
He neongo ʻoku ou malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻoku ʻikai ko ia ʻoku ou vikiviki ai: he kuo tuku tonu ia kiate au; ʻio, ʻe malaʻia au, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei!
17 εἰ γὰρ ἑκὼν τοῦτο πράσσω, μισθὸν ἔχω· εἰ δὲ ἄκων, οἰκονομίαν πεπίστευμαι.
He kapau te u fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo loto lelei pe, ʻoku ai haʻaku totongi: pea kapau [te u fai ]fakahohōloto pe, [ko ia ai pe], ka kuo vahe kiate au ha lakanga ngāue.
18 τίς οὖν μού ἐστιν ὁ μισθός; ἵνα εὐαγγελιζόμενος ἀδάπανον θήσω τὸ εὐαγγέλιον, εἰς τὸ μὴ καταχρήσασθαι τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ μου ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
Ko eni, ko e hā ai ʻeku totongi? [ʻA eni], ʻi heʻeku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ke u ʻatu ai ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi taʻehatotongi mai, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku ngāue kovi ʻaki ʻa ʻeku meʻa totonu ʻaʻaku ʻi he ongoongolelei.
19 ἐλεύθερος γὰρ ὢν ἐκ πάντων, πᾶσιν ἐμαυτὸν ἐδούλωσα, ἵνα τοὺς πλείονας κερδήσω·
He neongo ʻoku ou ʻataʻatā mei he tangata kotoa pē, ka kuo u fakatamaioʻeiki au ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi mai ʻae tokolahi hake.
20 καὶ ἐγενόμην τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ὡς Ἰουδαῖος, ἵνα Ἰουδαίους κερδήσω· τοῖς ὑπὸ νόμον ὡς ὑπὸ νόμον, μὴ ὢν αὐτὸς ὑπὸ νόμον, ἵνα τοὺς ὑπὸ νόμον κερδήσω·
Pea ne u hangē ko e Siu ki he kakai Siu, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi mai ʻae kakai Siu; ne u hangē kuo u moʻulaloa ki he fono kiate kinautolu naʻe moʻulaloa ki he fono, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi mai ʻakinautolu ʻoku moʻulaloa ki he fono;
21 τοῖς ἀνόμοις ὡς ἄνομος, μὴ ὢν ἄνομος θεοῦ ἀλλ᾽ ἔννομος χριστοῦ, ἵνα κερδάνω τοὺς ἀνόμους.
Pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku masiva fono ʻo hangē ko e masiva fono au, (kae ʻikai teu masiva fono ki he ʻOtua, kae moʻulaloa ki he fono kia Kalaisi, ) koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi mai ʻakinautolu ʻoku masiva fono.
22 ἐγενόμην τοῖς ἀσθενέσιν ἀσθενής, ἵνα τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς κερδήσω· τοῖς πᾶσιν γέγονα πάντα, ἵνα πάντως τινὰς σώσω.
Ne u hangē kuo u vaivai ki he vaivai, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi mai ʻae vaivai: kuo u hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē ki he kakai kotoa pē, kau fakamoʻui ʻi he ngāue kotoa pē ʻae niʻihi.
23 πάντα δὲ ποιῶ διὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον, ἵνα συγκοινωνὸς αὐτοῦ γένωμαι.
Pea ʻoku ou fai pehē ni koeʻuhi ko e ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ke u maʻumeʻa ai mo kimoutolu.
24 οὐκ οἴδατε, ὅτι οἱ ἐν σταδίῳ τρέχοντες πάντες μὲν τρέχουσιν, εἷς δὲ λαμβάνει τὸ βραβεῖον; οὕτως τρέχετε ἵνα καταλάβητε.
ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko kinautolu ʻoku lele ʻi he fakapuepue ʻoku lele kotoa pē, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tokotaha pe ʻae koloa? Ke pehē hoʻomou lele, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu.
25 πᾶς δὲ ὁ ἀγωνιζόμενος πάντα ἐγκρατεύεται· ἐκεῖνοι μὲν οὖν ἵνα φθαρτὸν στέφανον λάβωσιν, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἄφθαρτον.
Pea ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai feinga ke ne ikuna, ʻoku anga fakapotopoto ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. Pea ko e moʻoni ʻoku nau fai ia ke maʻu ʻae pale popongofua; ka ko kitautolu ʻae pale taʻefaʻapopo.
26 ἐγὼ τοίνυν οὕτως τρέχω ὡς οὐκ ἀδήλως, οὕτως πυκτεύω ὡς οὐκ ἀέρα δέρων·
Ko ia ʻoku pehē pe ʻeku lele, kae ʻikai ʻi he fai noa; ʻoku pehē pe ʻeku fuhu, kae ʻikai hangē ha taha ʻoku tuki ʻae matangi:
27 ἀλλὰ ὑπωπιάζω μου τὸ σῶμα καὶ δουλαγωγῶ, μή πως ἄλλοις κηρύξας αὐτὸς ἀδόκιμος γένωμαι.
Ka ʻoku ou tautea hoku sino, ʻo fakamoʻulaloaʻi ia: telia naʻa ai ha meʻa, ʻoka hili ʻeku malanga ki he kakai, teu hoko ai au ko e liʻaki.
