Colossians 3
1 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
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.
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.
Mou faʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi ʻolunga, kae ʻikai ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi māmani.
3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
He kuo mou mate, pea ʻoku fufū hoʻomou moʻui mo Kalaisi ʻi he ʻOtua.
4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.
ʻOka fakahā mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko ʻetau moʻuiʻanga, te mou toki hā ai mo ia foki ʻi he nāunau.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, the which is idolatry;
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:
6 for which things’ sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience;
He koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku hoko ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fānau talangataʻa:
7 in the which ye also walked aforetime, when ye lived in these things.
ʻAia naʻa mou ʻaʻeva ai foki ʻi muʻa, ʻi hoʻomou moʻui ki ai.
8 But now put ye also away all these; anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
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.
9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
ʻOua naʻa mou felohiʻaki, he kuo mou siʻaki ʻae tangata motuʻa mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue;
10 and have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
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:
11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman: but Christ is all, and in all.
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.
12 Put on therefore, as God’s elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
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;
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye:
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.
14 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.
Pea ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻae ʻofa, ʻaia ko e noʻo ʻoe haohaoa.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful.
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.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms [and] hymns [and] spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God.
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.
17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
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.
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
ʻAe kau fefine, fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, he ʻoku ngali ia ʻi he ʻEiki.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
ʻAe kau tangata, ʻofa ki homou uaifi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai anga fakaʻita kiate kinautolu.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
ʻAe fānau, fai talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ʻoku lelei lahi ia ki he ʻEiki.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged.
ʻAe ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakafiufiu ki hoʻomou fānau, telia naʻa nau fiu ai.
22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord:
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:
23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;
Pea ʻilonga ʻaia ʻoku mou fai, fai loto lelei, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki, kae ʻikai ki he tangata:
24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.
ʻI hoʻomou ʻilo temou maʻu mei he ʻEiki ʻae totongi ko e tofiʻa: he ʻoku mou tauhi ʻae ʻEiki ko Kalaisi.
25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
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.
