Kolose 2
1 He ko hoku loto ke mou ʻilo ʻae feinga lahi ʻoku ʻiate au kiate kimoutolu, pea kiate kinautolu ʻi Leotisia, pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku teʻeki ai te nau mamata ki hoku mata ʻi he sino;
E mea ana hoki ahau kia mohio koutou ki te nui o toku uaua mo koutou, mo te hunga ano hoki o Raorikia, a mo te hunga katoa hoki kahore nei i kite noa i toku mata i te kikokiko;
2 Koeʻuhi ke fiemālie honau loto, kuo fehokotaki ʻi he ʻofa, ki he koloa kotoa pē ʻoe fakapapau lahi ʻoe ʻilo, ki he fakahā ʻoe meʻa fakalilolilo ʻae ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻae Tamai, pea mo Kalaisi;
Kia whakamarietia o ratou ngakau, kia tuhonohonoa i runga i te aroha, kia taea ai nga taonga katoa o te tino whakaunga o te ngakau mahara, kia matau ai ratou ki te mea ngaro a te Atua, ara ki a te Karaiti;
3 ʻAia ʻoku fufū ai ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻoe poto mo e ʻilo.
Kei roto nei i a ia nga taonga katoa o te mahara, o te matauranga e huna ana.
4 Pea ʻoku ou pehē ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tangata te ne fakahalaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he lea fakaoloolo.
Na i korero ai ahau i tenei, kei kumea ketia koutou e te korero reka a te tangata.
5 He neongo ʻoku ou mamaʻo ʻi he sino, ka ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he laumālie, ʻo fiefia ʻo mamata ki hoʻomou anga fakapotopoto, mo e tuʻumaʻu ʻo hoʻomou tui kia Kalaisi.
No te mea ahakoa kei tawhiti toku kikokiko, kei a koutou na toku wairua, e hari ana, e titiro ana ki a koutou ritenga tika, ki te u ano hoki o to koutou whakapono ki a te Karaiti.
6 Ko ia ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa Kalaisi Sisu ko e ʻEiki, ke mou ʻaʻeva ʻiate ia:
Na, kua riro na te Ariki, a Karaiti Ihu i a koutou, kia pena ano ta koutou haere i roto i a ia;
7 Kuo aka mo langa hake ʻiate ia, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, ʻo hangē ko e akonekina ʻakimoutolu, pea ke mou tupulekina ai ʻi he fakafetaʻi.
Kia whai pakiaka, ano he whare i hanga ki runga ki a ia, whakapumau rawa ki runga ki to koutou whakapono, kia pera me koutou i whakaakona ra, kia hira rawa ai te whakawhetai.
8 Vakai naʻa taki fakahē ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi he fiepoto mo e lau fakakākā, ʻoku taau mo e talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ʻo ngali mo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ka ʻoku ʻikai taau mo Kalaisi.
Kia tupato kei roro parau koutou i to te tangata whakaaro mohio, i te tinihanga huakore, e rite nei ki te whakarerenga iho a te tangata, ki nga mea timatanga o te ao, a kahore ki a te Karaiti.
9 He ʻoku nofo fakamoʻomoʻoni kiate ia hono mātuʻaki fonu ʻoe ʻOtua.
Kei roto katoa hoki i a ia te tino o te Atua e noho a tinana ana.
10 Pea ʻoku fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻiate ia, ʻaia ko e ʻulu ʻoe pule kotoa pē mo e mālohi:
A kua tino tangata ano koutou i roto i a ia, ko te nei ia o nga rangatiratanga, o nga mana katoa;
11 ʻAia naʻe kamu ai foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kamu taʻefai ʻe he nima, ʻi he siʻaki ʻoe sino ʻoe ngaahi angahala fakakakano ʻi he kamu ʻo Kalaisi:
He mea kokoti koutou i roto i a ia, he kotinga kihai i meatia e te ringaringa, i te unuhanga atu i te tinana o nga hara o te kikokiko, i to te Karaiti kotinga;
12 ʻO tanu mo ia ʻi he papitaiso, ʻaia kuo mou toetuʻu ai mo ia ʻi he tui ʻoku mei he ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia.
He mea tanu tahi koutou me ia i te iriiringa, he mea whakaara ngatahi ano hoki me ia i reira, no te mea ka whakapono nei ki te mahi a te Atua, nana nei ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate.
13 Pea ko kimoutolu, naʻe mate ʻi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala mo e taʻekamu ʻo homou kakano, kuo ne fakamoʻui fakataha mo ia, ʻi heʻene fakamolemole hoʻomou ngaahi angahala kotoa pē;
He tupapaku na hoki koutou i nga he, i te kotingakore hoki o to koutou kikokiko, na, whakaorangia ngatahitia ana koutou me ia, he mea whakarere noa atu nana o koutou he katoa;
14 ʻO tāmateʻi ʻi he mate ʻae tohi nima ʻoe ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia naʻe tuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻaia naʻe taʻofi kiate kitautolu, ʻo ne toʻo ʻaupito ia ʻo tuki ki hono ʻakau;
Murua ake e ia nga tikanga i tuhituhia e te ringaringa, nga tikanga i hoariri ki a tatou, i tu ke mai i a tatou; tangohia ake e ia ki rahaki, he mea titi nana ki te ripeka;
15 Pea ʻosi ʻene maumau ʻae ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi, naʻa ne fakaʻilo fakahā atu ʻakinautolu ʻo vikiviki ai kiate kinautolu.
Pauhua ake e ia ki raro nga rangatiratanga me nga mana, whakakitea nuitia ana e ia, a waiho ana e ia taua ripeka hei mea whakataka mana i a ratou.
16 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻe fakaanga kiate kimoutolu ʻi ha meʻakai, pe ha meʻainu, pe ki ha ʻaho kātoanga, pe ʻi ha tuʻu efiafi, pe ʻi he ngaahi Sāpate:
Na, kaua tetahi e whakawa i a koutou mo te kai, mo te inu, mo nga meatanga ki te hakari, ki te kowhititanga marama, ki nga hapati;
17 ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻata ʻoe meʻa ʻoku haʻu; ka ko hono sino ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi.
He atarangi enei no nga mea i kiia e puta ana i muri; no te Karaiti ia te tinana.
18 Ke ʻoua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha taha ʻi hoʻomou totongi, ʻi he fie angavaivai mo e lotu ki he kau ʻāngelo, ʻi he kaunoa ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai te ne mamata ai, mo e fakafuofua lahi noa pē ia ʻi hono loto fakakakano,
Kei riro ta koutou taonga i te maminga a te tangata e mea ana ki te whakaiti i a ia, ki te karakia ki nga anahera, ka noho i roto i nga mea e kitea ana e ia, ka whakapehapeha kau noa, he mea na tona ngakau kikokiko;
19 Pea ʻoku ʻikai puke maʻu ki he ʻUlu, ʻaia ʻoku maʻu mei ai ʻae tokoni ki he sino kotoa, ʻi he ngaahi kupu mo e noʻo, pea kuo femaʻutaki fakataha, ʻoku tupu ʻi he tupu fakaʻotua.
A kahore e mau ki te Upoko, no roto nei i a ia te tinana katoa, he mea atawhai, he mea tuhonohono e nga hononga, e nga here, ka tupu ai, he tupu na te Atua.
20 Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou mate mo Kalaisi mei he ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamaama, ko e hā ʻoku mou moʻulaloa ai ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo hangē ʻoku mou moʻui fakamaama, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻae tangata;
Ki te mea kua tupapaku ngatahi koutou ko te Karaiti ki nga mea timatanga o te ao, he aha koutou, ano e ora ana ki te ao, ka pupuri tonu ai i nga tikanga,
21 “ʻOua naʻa ala;” “ʻOua naʻa kamata;” “ʻOua naʻa milihi;”
Kei pa ringaringa, kei pa kai, kei rahurahu;
22 ʻAia ʻe ʻauha kotoa pē ʻi hono ngāueʻaki?
He mea pirau katoa nei aua mea i te meatanga iho ano, he whakahau, he ako na te tangata?
23 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻai moʻoni hono matamata poto ʻi he fiefie lotu, mo e angavaivai, pea mo e taʻetokangaʻi ʻoe sino; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga, ka ki he fakafiemālie ʻoe kakano.
Ko te ahua o aua mea i whakaritea ki to te whakaaro nui, he karakia pokano, he whakaiti i a ia ake, he atawhaikore i te tinana; otira kahore he painga hei pehi i te kikokiko e torere ana kia makona ia.
