Corinthios Ii 3
1 Incipimus iterum nosmetipsos commendare? aut numquid egemus (sicut quidam) commendatitiis epistolis ad vos, aut ex vobis?
He ʻoku mau toe kamata fakaongolelei atu ʻakimautolu? Pe ʻoku ʻaonga kiate kimautolu, ʻo hangē ko e niʻihi, ha tohi fakaongolelei atu kiate kimoutolu, pe ko e fakaongolelei mai meiate kimoutolu?
2 Epistola nostra vos estis, scripta in cordibus nostris, quæ scitur, et legitur ab omnibus hominibus:
Ko ʻemau tohi ʻakimoutolu, kuo tohi ki homau loto, kuo ʻilo pea lau ʻe he kakai kotoa pē:
3 manifestati quod epistola estis Christi, ministrata a nobis, et scripta non atramento, sed Spiritu Dei vivi: non in tabulis lapideis, sed in tabulis cordis carnalibus.
Kuo fakahā fakapapau atu ko e tohi ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu kuo meʻa ngāueʻaki ai ʻakimoutolu, kuo tohi kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae vaitohi, ka ko e Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui; ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi maka lafalafa, ka ʻi he kakano ʻoe loto.
4 Fiduciam autem talem habemus per Christum ad Deum:
Pea ko e meʻa ʻia Kalaisi ʻoku ai haʻamau tui pehē ki he ʻOtua:
5 non quod sufficientes simus cogitare aliquid a nobis, quasi ex nobis: sed sufficientia nostra ex Deo est:
Kae ʻikai hangē ʻoku maʻu mafai ʻiate kimautolu ke mahalo ki ha meʻa meiate kimautolu; ka ko e maʻu mafai ʻoku mei he ʻOtua;
6 qui et idoneos nos fecit ministros novi testamenti: non littera, sed Spiritu: littera enim occidit, Spiritus autem vivificat.
ʻAia foki kuo ne teuʻi ʻakimautolu ko e kau faifekau faʻa fai ʻoe fuakava foʻou; ʻikai ʻoe mataʻitohi, ka ʻoe laumālie: he ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻe he mataʻitohi, ka ʻoku foaki moʻui ʻe he laumālie.
7 Quod si ministratio mortis litteris deformata in lapidibus fuit in gloria, ita ut non possent intendere filii Israël in faciem Moysi propter gloriam vultus ejus, quæ evacuatur:
Pea kapau naʻe nāunauʻia ʻae ngāue ʻoe mate naʻe tohitongi ki he ngaahi maka, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa sio fakahangatonu ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he mata ʻo Mōsese, ko e meʻa ʻi he malama ʻo hono mata; ʻaia naʻe pau ke ngata:
8 quomodo non magis ministratio Spiritus erit in gloria?
Pea ʻe ʻikai lahi hake ʻaupito hono nāunau ʻoe ngāue ʻoe Laumālie?
9 Nam si ministratio damnationis gloria est: multo magis abundat ministerium justitiæ in gloria.
He kapau ʻoku nāunauʻia ʻae ngāue ʻoe fakamalaʻia, pea ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito hono nāunauʻia ʻoe ngāue ʻoe fakatonuhia.
10 Nam nec glorificatum est, quod claruit in hac parte, propter excellentem gloriam.
He ko ia naʻe ngaohi ke nāunauʻia, naʻe ʻikai hano nāunau ʻi he meʻa ni, ko e meʻa ʻi he nāunau ʻoku lahi hake.
11 Si enim quod evacuatur, per gloriam est: multo magis quod manet, in gloria est.
He kapau naʻe nāunauʻia ʻaia kuo fakaʻosi, tā ʻoku lahi ʻaupito hono nāunau ʻo ia ʻoku tuʻumaʻu.
12 Habentes igitur talem spem, multa fiducia utimur:
Pea ko ia ʻi heʻemau maʻu ʻae ʻamanaki lelei pehē, ʻoku mau lea ʻilongofua lahi ai.
13 et non sicut Moyses ponebat velamen super faciem suam, ut non intenderent filii Israël in faciem ejus, quod evacuatur,
Pea ʻikai hangē ko Mōsese, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae pūlou ki hono mata, pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa sio fakamamaʻu atu ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ia kuo fakaʻosi:
14 sed obtusi sunt sensus eorum. Usque in hodiernum enim diem, idipsum velamen in lectione veteris testamenti manet non revelatum (quoniam in Christo evacuatur),
Ka naʻe fakakui honau loto: he ʻoku aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻoku kei tuʻumaʻu ʻo taʻeueʻi ʻae pūlou ko ia ʻi he lau ʻoe fuakava motuʻa: [ʻae pūlou ]ko ia kuo mole ʻia Kalaisi.
15 sed usque in hodiernum diem, cum legitur Moyses, velamen positum est super cor eorum.
Ka ʻoku aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻoku kei ʻi honau loto ʻae pūlou ʻi he lau ʻo Mōsese.
16 Cum autem conversus fuerit ad Dominum, auferetur velamen.
Ka ko eni, “ʻOka tafoki ia ki he ʻEiki, ʻe toʻo atu ʻae pūlou.”
17 Dominus autem Spiritus est: ubi autem Spiritus Domini, ibi libertas.
Pea “ko e ʻEiki” ʻae laumālie ko ia: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae tauʻatāina.
18 Nos vero omnes, revelata facie gloriam Domini speculantes, in eamdem imaginem transformamur a claritate in claritatem, tamquam a Domini Spiritu.
Ka ʻoku tau vakai kotoa pē, ʻo mata taʻepūlou ʻi he sioʻata, ki he nāunau ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻoku tau liliu ki hono tatau mei he nāunau ki he nāunau, ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki.
