Kolose 3
1 Pea kapau kuo mou toetuʻu mo Kalaisi, mou kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku nofo ki ai ʻa Kalaisi ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua.
If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those thinges which are aboue, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God.
2 Mou faʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi ʻolunga, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi māmani.
Set your affections on things which are aboue, and not on things which are on the earth.
3 He kuo mou mate, pea ʻoku fufū hoʻomou moʻui mo Kalaisi ʻi he ʻOtua.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 ʻOka fakahā mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko ʻetau moʻuiʻanga, te mou toki hā ai mo ia foki ʻi he nāunau.
When Christ which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with him in glory.
5 Ko ia mou tāmateʻi homou ngaahi kupu ʻoku ʻi māmani; ko e feʻauaki, mo e ngāue ʻuli, mo e fakalielia, mo e holi kovi, mo e manumanu, ʻaia ko e tauhi tamapua:
Mortifie therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, vncleannes, the inordinate affection, euill concupiscence, and couetousnes which is idolatrie.
6 He koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku hoko ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fānau talangataʻa:
For the which things sake ye wrath of God commeth on the children of disobedience.
7 ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai foki ʻi muʻa, ʻi hoʻomou moʻui ki ai.
Wherein ye also walked once, when ye liued in them.
8 Ka ko eni ʻoku mou siʻaki ʻa eni kotoa pē foki; ʻae ʻita, mo e lili, mo e fakafasifasi, mo e kapekape, mo e lea ʻuli mei homou ngutu.
But now put ye away euen all these things, wrath, anger, maliciousnes, cursed speaking, filthie speaking, out of your mouth.
9 ʻOua naʻa mou felohiʻaki, he kuo mou siʻaki ʻae tangata motuʻa mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue;
Lie not one to another, seeing that yee haue put off the olde man with his workes,
10 Pea kuo mou ʻai ʻa e [tangata ]foʻou, ʻaia kuo fakafoʻou ʻi he ʻilo, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tatau ʻo ia naʻa ne fakatupu ia:
And haue put on the newe, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him,
11 ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha Kiliki pe ha Siu, ha kamu pe ha taʻekamu, ha muli, pe ha Sitia, ha pōpula, pe ha tauʻatāina: ka ko hono kātoa kotoa ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ne ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
Where is neither Grecian nor Iewe, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: But Christ is all, and in all things.
12 Ko ia ko kimoutolu, ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻofeina, mou ai, ʻo taau mo e kakai fili ʻae ʻOtua, ʻae manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, mo e loto angavaivai, mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa;
Now therfore as the elect of God holy and beloued, put on the bowels of mercies, kindnesse, humblenesse of minde, meekenesse, long suffering:
13 ʻO fetoutou fekātakiʻaki pe, mo fefakamolemoleʻaki pe, ʻo kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku koviʻia ia ki ha taha: ʻo hangē ko e fakamolemole ʻe Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ke pehē pe ʻakimoutolu.
Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarel to another: euen as Christ forgaue, euen so doe ye.
14 Pea ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa, ʻaia ko e noʻo ʻoe haohaoa.
And aboue all these thinges put on loue, which is the bond of perfectnes.
15 Pea tuku ke pule ʻi homou loto ʻae melino ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe uiuiʻi ʻakimoutolu ki ai foki ʻi he sino pe taha; pea ke mou fakafetaʻi.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which ye are called in one body, and be ye thankfull.
16 Ke nofoʻia ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he poto kotoa pē; pea mou feakonakiʻaki mo fetokoniʻaki ʻi he ngaahi saame, mo e lea mālie, mo e ngaahi hiva fakalaumālie, ʻo hiva mo e ʻofa ʻi homou loto ki he ʻEiki.
Let the worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdome, teaching and admonishing your owne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing with a grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai ʻi he lea pe ʻi he ngāue, fai kotoa pē ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻiate ia.
And whatsoeuer ye shall doe, in worde or deede, doe all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, giuing thankes to God euen the Father by him.
18 ʻAe kau fefine, fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, he ʻoku ngali ia ʻi he ʻEiki.
Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as it is comely in the Lord.
19 ʻAe kau tangata, ʻofa ki homou uaifi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai anga fakaʻita kiate kinautolu.
Husbands, loue your wiues, and be not bitter vnto them.
20 ʻAe fānau, fai talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ʻoku lelei lahi ia ki he ʻEiki.
Children, obey your parents in all thing for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
21 ʻAe ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakafiufiu ki hoʻomou fānau, telia naʻa nau fiu ai.
Fathers, prouoke not your children to anger, least they be discouraged.
22 ʻAe kau tamaioʻeiki, fai talangofua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ki homou ʻeiki fakakakano; ʻoua naʻa ʻi he ngāue fakamamata pe, ʻo hangē ko e kau fakamālie ki he tangata; ka ʻi he loto totonu, ʻo manavahē ki he ʻOtua:
Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters according to the flesh, in all things, not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but in singlenes of heart, fearing God.
23 Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai, fai loto lelei, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki, kae ʻikai ki he tangata:
And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,
24 ʻI hoʻomou ʻilo temou maʻu mei he ʻEiki ʻae totongi ko e tofiʻa: he ʻoku mou tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ko Kalaisi.
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
25 Ka ko ia ʻoku fai taʻetotonu, te ne maʻu ʻo hangē ko e taʻetotonu kuo ne fai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha filifilimānako ki he kakai.
But he that doeth wrong, shall receiue for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
