1 Kolinitō 6

1 ‌ʻOku mou pehē, ʻoku ngofua ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha meʻa ki ha tokotaha, ke fakamaau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe taʻeangatonu, kae ʻikai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kāinga māʻoniʻoni?

Does any one of you that has a matter of dispute with another, presume to be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

2 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻe he kakai māʻoniʻoni? Pea kapau ʻe fakamaau ʻa māmani ʻekimoutolu, ʻoku taʻetaau ʻakimoutolu ke fakamaau ʻae ngaahi meʻa siʻi?

Know you not that the saints shall judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you unworthy to decide concerning the smallest matters?

3 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo te tau fakamaau ʻae kau ʻāngelo? Pea ʻikai ʻe muʻa hake lahi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni?

Know you not that we shall judge angels? Much more then, things pertaining to this life.

4 Pea kapau ʻoku ai ha fakamaau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe moʻui ni, pea ʻoku mou fili [ke fai ia ]ʻekinautolu ʻoku māʻulalo hifo ʻi he siasi?

If, then, you have controversies pertaining to things of this life, set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church.

5 ‌ʻOku ou lea ko homou fakamā. [He ]ʻoku pehē koā, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ha tokotaha poto ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa fai ke fakamaau ki hono ngaahi kāinga?

I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you a wise man, not even one, who shall be able to arbitrate between his brethren?

6 Ka ʻoku fefakamaauʻaki ʻae kāinga mo e kāinga, pea fai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau taʻetui?

But brother goes to law with brother, and this before the unbelievers?

7 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ai ʻae kovi lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou fefakamaauʻaki ʻakimoutolu. Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki ʻae kovi? Ko e hā muʻa ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou kātaki homou fakamālohiʻi?

Now, certainly, you are altogether in fault, that you have law-suits with one another. Why do you not rather suffer injustice? Why do you not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

8 Tā ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fai hala, pea fakamālohi, ʻio, ki he kāinga foki.

But you act unjustly, and you defraud, and that, too, your brethren.

9 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻe he taʻefaitotonu ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu: ko e kau feʻauaki, mo e kau tauhi tamapua, mo e kau tono fefine, mo e kau moʻui fakafiemālie, mo e kau fiefai fakalieliaʻaki ʻiate kinautolu,

Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither lewd persons, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor catamites, nor sodomites,

10 Mo e kau kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e kau faʻa kona, mo e kau lea kovi, mo e kau fakamālohi, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.

nor thieves, nor defrauders, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11 Pea naʻe pehē pe homou niʻihi; ka kuo fufulu ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatapui ʻakimoutolu, ka kuo fakatonuhia ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, pea ʻi he Laumālie ʻo hotau ʻOtua.

And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

12 “ʻOku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, “ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē: ʻoku ngofua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au, ka ʻe ʻikai faiekina au ʻe he meʻa ʻe taha.

All meats are lawful for me: but all are not profitable. All are lawful for me; but I will not be brought under subjection by any.

13 Ko e ngaahi meʻakai ki he fatu, mo e fatu ki he ngaahi meʻakai: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia fakatouʻosi ʻe he ʻOtua. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ki he feʻauaki ʻae sino, ka ki he ʻEiki; pea mo e ʻEiki ki he sino.

Meats for the stomach, and the stomach for meats; but God will destroy both it and them. But the body is not for lewdness, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body:

14 Pea kuo fokotuʻu hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ʻEiki, pea te ne fokotuʻu hake ʻakimoutolu foki ʻi hono mālohi ʻoʻona.

and God has raised, up the Lord, and will also raise us up by his power.

15 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e ngaahi kupu ia ʻo Kalaisi? Pea te u ʻave eni ʻae ngaahi kupu ʻo Kalaisi, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ngaahi kupu ʻoe faʻa feʻauaki? ʻIkai ʻaupito.

Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I, then, take the members of the Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? It must not be.

16 Ko e hā? ʻikai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko ia kuo hoko ki he faʻa feʻauaki, ʻoku sino taha? He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoko ʻae toko ua ko e kakano pe taha.”

Know you not that he that is joined to a harlot, is one body? For the two, says the scripture, shall be one flesh.

17 Ka ko ia kuo hoko ki he ʻEiki, ko e laumālie pe taha.

But he that is joined to the Lord, is one spirit.

18 Puna mei he feʻauaki. Ko e angahala fulipē ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he sino, ka ko ia ʻoku fai feʻauaki, ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono sino ʻoʻona.

Shun lewdness. Every sin that a man commits, is without the body; but he that is guilty of lewdness sins against his own body.

19 Ko e hā? ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo, ko homou sino ko e fale tapu ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu mei he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻamoutolu ʻakimoutolu?

Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?

20 He kuo fakatauʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae totongi: ko ia ke fakaongolelei ʻae ʻOtua ʻi homou sino, pea ʻi homou laumālie, ʻaia ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua.

For you have been bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body.
