1 Corinthians 16
1 Now concerning the collection for the believers, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you are to do.
Na mo te kohikohi mo te hunga tapu, peratia me taku i whakarite ai ki nga hahi o Karatia.
2 On the first day of the week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up as you are able. Do this so that there will be no collections when I come.
Hei te ra tuatahi o te wiki ka whakatakoto ia tangata, ia tangata o koutou ki te taha tohu ai, kei te ahua o te manaakitanga i a ia, kei waiho nga kohikohi mo te wa e tae atu ai ahau.
3 When I arrive, whomever you approve, I will send with letters to deliver your offering to Jerusalem.
A ka tae atu ahau, maku e tono te hunga e whakapaingia ana e a koutou pukapuka hei mau i ta koutou aroha noa ki Hiruharama.
4 If it is appropriate for me to go also, they will go with me.
A ki te tika kia haere atu ano hoki ahau, ko matou tahi e haere.
5 But I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia. For I will pass through Macedonia.
Na ka haere atu ahau ki a koutou, ina tika ahau ra Makeronia: e tika ana hoki ahau ra Makeronia.
6 Perhaps I may stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go.
A tera pea ahau e noho roa ki a koutou, taka noa pea te hotoke, kia ai koutou hei arahi i ahau ki te wahi e haere atu ai ahau.
7 For I do not wish to see you now for only a passing visit. For I am looking forward to spending more time with you, if the Lord permits.
E kore hoki ahau e pai kia titiro haere noa ahau i a koutou aianei; e tumanako ana hoki ahau kia whakatau iho ahau ki a koutou, ki te tukua e te Ariki.
8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,
Engari ka noho ahau ki Epeha taea noatia te Petekoha;
9 for a wide door has opened for me, and there are many adversaries.
Kua tuwhera mai nei he kuwaha rahi ki ahau, he mahi nui, a tera ano te tokomaha o te hunga tautohe.
10 Now when Timothy comes, see that he is with you unafraid, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am doing.
Na, ki te tae atu a Timoti, meinga kia kaua ia e noho wehi i roto i a koutou: e mahi ana hoki ia i te mahi a te Ariki, e penei ana me ahau nei:
11 Let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me. For I am expecting him to come along with the brothers.
Na reira kei whakahawea tetahi ki a ia; engari ata arahina ia i runga i te rangimarie, kia haere mai ai ki ahau: e tatari ana hoki ahau ki a ia, ratou ko nga teina.
12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly encouraged him to visit you with the brothers. But it was not at all his will that he come now. However, he will come when the time is right.
Na, ko to tatou teina, ko Aporo, nui atu taku tohe ki a ia kia haere atu ratou ko nga teina ki a koutou: otira kihai rawa ia i pai kia haere atu i tenei wa: otira mana e haere atu a te wa e watea ai.
13 Be watchful, stand fast in the faith, act like men, be strong.
Kia mataara, e tu i runga i te whakapono, whakatane, kia kaha.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
Kia meatia a koutou mea katoa i runga i te aroha.
15 You know the household of Stephanas, that they were the first converts in Achaia, and that they have set themselves to the service of the believers. Now I urge you, brothers,
He tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina; e mohio ana koutou ki nga tangata o te whare o Tepana, ko te matamua tera o Akaia, kua tuku ano i a ratou hei kaimahi mo te hunga tapu;
16 to be in submission to such people and to everyone who helps in the work and labors with us.
Kia ngohengohe hoki koutou ki nga tangata pera, ki te hunga katoa ano e mahi tahi ana, e uaua ana.
17 I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus. They have made up for your absence.
Hari tonu hoki ahau ki te haerenga mai o Tepana, ratou ko Porotunatu, ko Akaiku: na ratou hoki i rite ai nga mea i kore i a koutou.
18 For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. So then, recognize people like this.
I ora hoki i a ratou toku wairua, o koutou hoki: na kia mohio koutou ki te hunga pera.
19 The churches of Asia send greetings to you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you in the Lord, with the church that is in their home.
Tenei nga hahi o Ahia te oha atu nei ki a koutou. He maha hoki nga mihi atu a Akuira raua ko Pirihiria i roto i te Ariki, a te hahi hoki i to raua whare.
20 All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
Tenei nga teina katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou. Oha atu ki a koutou ano, kei te kihi tapu.
21 I, Paul, write this with my own hand.
Ko te oha tenei aku, a Paora, he mea na toku ringa ake.
22 If anyone does not love the Lord, may he be accursed. Our Lord, come!
Ki te kore tetahi e aroha ki te Ariki, kia waiho ia hei Anatema Maranata.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you.
Kia tau te aroha noa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, ki a koutou.
24 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus.
Hei a koutou katoa toku aroha i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. Amine.
