Corinthios I 4
1 Sic nos existimet homo ut ministros Christi, et dispensatores mysteriorum Dei.
Ko ia ke pehē ʻae lau ʻe he tangata kiate kimautolu, ʻo taau mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Kalaisi, mo e kau tauhi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakalilolilo ʻae ʻOtua.
2 Hic jam quæritur inter dispensatores ut fidelis quis inveniatur.
Ko eni foki, ʻoku ʻamanaki ki he kau tauhi, ke nau fai totonu.
3 Mihi autem pro minimo est ut a vobis judicer, aut ab humano die: sed neque meipsum judico.
Ka ko e meʻa siʻi ʻaupito kiate au ke fakamaau au ʻekimoutolu, pe ko e fakamaau ʻae tangata: ʻio, ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaau au ʻeau.
4 Nihil enim mihi conscius sum, sed non in hoc justificatus sum: qui autem judicat me, Dominus est.
He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha meʻa ʻiate au pe; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u tonuhia ai: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fakamaau au, ko e ʻEiki ia.
5 Itaque nolite ante tempus judicare, quoadusque veniat Dominus: qui et illuminabit abscondita tenebrarum, et manifestabit consilia cordium: et tunc laus erit unicuique a Deo.
Ko ia ʻoua naʻa fakamaau ha meʻa ʻi he teʻeki hoko hono kuonga, pea ʻoua ke hoko mai ʻae ʻEiki, ʻaia te ne ʻomi ki he maama ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻoe poʻuli, pea te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi filioʻi ʻoe loto: pea ʻe toki maʻu ai ʻo taki taha kotoa pē ʻae fakamālō mei he ʻOtua.
6 Hæc autem, fratres, transfiguravi in me et Apollo, propter vos: ut in nobis discatis, ne supra quam scriptum est, unus adversus alterum infletur pro alio.
Pea ko e meʻa ni, ʻe kāinga, kuo u fakahoko fakatātā kiate au mo ʻApolosi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu; koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻiate kimaua ke ʻoua naʻa lahi hoʻomou lau ʻi he meʻa kuo tohi, “Ke ʻoua naʻa ai hamou tokotaha ʻe fielahi ʻi he filifilimānako ki ha taha kae kovi ki ha taha.”
7 Quis enim te discernit? quid autem habes quod non accepisti? si autem accepisti, quid gloriaris quasi non acceperis?
He ko hai ʻoku ne fakakeheʻi koe? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻaʻau, naʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu? Pea kapau naʻa ke maʻu ia, ko e hā ʻoku ke vikiviki ai ʻo hangē naʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ia?
8 Jam saturati estis, jam divites facti estis: sine nobis regnatis: et utinam regnetis, ut et nos vobiscum regnemus.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku mou mākona, kuo mou mohu meʻa, kuo mou pule, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi tuʻi, pea taʻekau ʻakimautolu: pea ʻoku ʻamusiaange ʻeau ʻoku mou pule, koeʻuhi ke tau pule mo kimoutolu foki.
9 Puto enim quod Deus nos Apostolos novissimos ostendit, tamquam morti destinatos: quia spectaculum facti sumus mundo, et angelis, et hominibus.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻeau kuo tuku ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakimautolu ʻae kau ʻaposetolo ki mui, ʻo hangē ko e tukupau ki he mate, he kuo ngaohi ʻakimautolu ko e siofiaʻanga ʻo māmani, mo e kau ʻāngelo, mo e kakai.
10 Nos stulti propter Christum, vos autem prudentes in Christo: nos infirmi, vos autem fortes: vos nobiles, nos autem ignobiles.
Ko e kau vale ʻakimautolu koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi, ka ʻoku poto ʻakimoutolu ʻia Kalaisi; ʻoku mau vaivai, ka ʻoku mālohi ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻapasia ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻoku manukia ʻakimautolu.
11 Usque in hanc horam et esurimus, et sitimus, et nudi sumus, et colaphis cædimur, et instabiles sumus,
[ʻIo], ʻo aʻu ki he feituʻulaʻā ni ʻoku mau fiekaia, mo fieinu, ʻoku mau telefua, pea sipiʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai hamau nofoʻanga maʻu:
12 et laboramus operantes manibus nostris: maledicimur, et benedicimus: persecutionem patimur, et sustinemus:
ʻO ngāue, pea fai ʻaki homau nima ʻomautolu: kuo manukia, ka mau tāpuaki; kuo fakatangaʻi, ka mau kātaki ia:
13 blasphemamur, et obsecramus: tamquam purgamenta hujus mundi facti sumus, omnium peripsema usque adhuc.
Kuo lauʻikovi, ka ʻoku mau kole; kuo hoko ʻakimautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻuli ʻoe fonua, pea mo e efe ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
14 Non ut confundam vos, hæc scribo, sed ut filios meos carissimos moneo.
ʻOku ʻikai te u tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ke fakamā ʻakimoutolu, ka ko ʻeku valoki ki heʻeku fānau ʻoku ou ʻofa ai.
15 Nam si decem millia pædagogorum habeatis in Christo, sed non multos patres. Nam in Christo Jesu per Evangelium ego vos genui.
He neongo ʻoku toko mano hoʻomou akonaki ʻia Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai tokolahi ʻae tamai: he ko au ne u fakatupu ʻakimoutolu ia.
16 Rogo ergo vos, imitatores mei estote, sicut et ego Christi.
Ko ia ʻoku ou kole ai kiate kimoutolu, ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kiate au.
17 Ideo misi ad vos Timotheum, qui est filius meus carissimus, et fidelis in Domino: qui vos commonefaciet vias meas, quæ sunt in Christo Jesu, sicut ubique in omni ecclesia doceo.
Ko e meʻa ko ia kuo u fekau atu ai kiate kimoutolu ʻa Timote, ʻaia ko hoku foha ʻofa, mo e angatonu ʻi he ʻEiki, pea te ne fakamanatu kiate kimoutolu hoku ngaahi ʻaluʻanga ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ou ako ʻaki ʻi he potu kotoa pē mo e siasi kotoa pē.
18 Tamquam non venturus sim ad vos, sic inflati sunt quidam.
Ka kuo fielahi ʻae niʻihi, ʻo hangē ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu.
19 Veniam autem ad vos cito, si Dominus voluerit: et cognoscam non sermonem eorum qui inflati sunt, sed virtutem.
Ka te u ʻalu vave atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ko e finangalo ia ʻoe ʻEiki, pea te u ʻeke, kae ʻikai ki he lea pē ʻanautolu ʻoku fakafuofua lahi, ka ko ʻenau mālohi.
20 Non enim in sermone est regnum Dei, sed in virtute.
He ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he lea pe, ka ʻoku ʻi he mālohi.
21 Quid vultis? in virga veniam ad vos, an in caritate, et spiritu mansuetudinis?
Ko e hā homou loto? Te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu mo e meʻa tā, pe ʻi he ʻofa, pe ʻi he loto angavaivai?
