1 Koriniti 1

1 Na Paora, i pai nei te Atua kia karangatia hei apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, na te teina hoki, na Hotene,

Ko au Paula, naʻe ui ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, mo Sositine ko e tokoua,

2 Ki te hahi a te Atua i Koriniti, ki te hunga kua oti te whakatapu i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua karangatia hei hunga tapu, ratou ko te hunga katoa i nga wahi katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, o to ratou Ariki, o to ta tou:

ki he siasi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Kolinitō, kiate kinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo hoko ko e māʻoniʻoni, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he potu fulipē ʻoku ui ki he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻonautolu mo ʻotautolu fakatouʻosi:

3 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

4 He whakawhetai tonu taku mahi ki toku Atua mo koutou, mo te aroha noa o te Atua kua homai nei ki a koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu;

‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ki hoku ʻOtua koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻia Sisu Kalaisi;

5 Kua meinga hoki kia hua nga mea katoa ma koutou i roto i a ia, te whakapuaki korero, te matauranga;

Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakakoloaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi ʻilo kotoa pē;

6 Pena hoki me te whakaaturanga i a te Karaiti kua u na i roto i a koutou:

‌ʻO hangē ko hono fakamoʻoni ʻoe fakahā ʻo Kalaisi ʻiate kimoutolu:

7 I kore ai koutou e hapa i tetahi mea homai; i a koutou e tatari na ki te whakakitenga mai o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti:

Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tomui ʻi ha foaki; ʻo tatali ki he fakahā ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi:

8 Mana hoki koutou e whakau a taea noatia te mutunga, kia kore ai koutou e ekengia e te kupu i te ra o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti.

‌ʻAia te ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu foki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, koeʻuhi ke mou taʻehala ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

9 He pono te Atua, nana nei koutou i karanga kia uru tahi ki tana Tama, ko Ihu Karaiti, ki to tatou Ariki.

‌ʻOku moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ki he feohi mo hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki.

10 Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, i runga i te ingoa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, kia kotahi ta koutou korero katoa, a kia kaua he wehewehenga i roto i a koutou; engari kia tuituia koutou i runga i te ngakau kotahi, i te whaka aro kotahi.

Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke lea taha pe ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi mavahevahe; ka mou māʻopoʻopo lelei ʻo loto taha pe, pea fakakaukau taha pe.

11 Kua oti hoki koutou te tohutohu mai, e oku teina, e te hunga o te whare o Koroi, tena nga tautohetohe kei roto i a koutou.

He kuo fakahā mai kiate au ʻakimoutolu, ʻe hoku kāinga, ʻekinautolu ʻi he fale ʻo Koloi, ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi kikihi ʻiate kimoutolu.

12 Anei te tikanga o taku korero, kei te ki tena o koutou na, No Paora ahau; a, No Aporo ahau; a, Ko ahau no Kipa; Ko ahau no te Karaiti.

Pea ko ʻeku lea eni, ʻoku mou taki taha pehē, “ʻOku ʻo Paula au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo ʻApolosi au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo Kifasi au;” pea, “ʻOku ʻo Kalaisi au.”

13 Kua oti koia a te Karaiti te wahi? i ripekatia ranei a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora?

Kuo mavahevahe koā ʻa Kalaisi? Naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻa Paula koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu? Pe naʻa mou papitaiso ʻi he hingoa ʻo Paula?

14 E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, moku kihai i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu;

‌ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te u papitaiso ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ka ko Kalisipo mo Keio;

15 Kei waiho e te tangata hei korero, naku koutou i iriiri i runga i toku ingoa.

Telia naʻa pehē ʻe ha niʻihi kuo u fai papitaiso ʻi hoku hingoa ʻoʻoku.

16 Naku ano i iriiri nga tangata o te whare o Tepana: i ko ake, kahore ahau i te mahara ki taku iriiringa i tetahi atu.

Pea naʻaku papitaiso foki ʻae fale ʻo Setivena: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe naʻaku papitaiso mo ha taha kehe.

17 Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te mohio ki nga kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti.

He naʻe ʻikai fekau au ʻe Kalaisi ke papitaiso, ka ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei: kae ʻikai ʻi he poto ʻoe lea, telia naʻa fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻae ʻakau naʻe tutuki ki ai ʻa Kalaisi.

18 Ko te korero hoki o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana he mea wawau; ki a tatou ia, ki te hunga e whakaorangia ana, ko te kaha tera o te Atua.

He ko e malangaʻaki ʻae ʻakau naʻe tutuki ia ki ai ko e vale ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku malaʻia: ka ko e mālohi ia ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kitautolu kuo fakamoʻui.

19 Ka oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka ngaro i ahau te whakaaro nui o te hunga whakaaro, ka kore hoki i ahau te mahara o te hunga mahara.

He kuo tohi, “Te u fakaʻauha ʻae poto ʻoe kau poto, Pea te u fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae ʻilo ʻoe ʻiloʻilo.”

20 Kei hea te tangata whakaaro? kei hea te karaipi? kei hea te tangata tohe o tenei ao? kahore ano koia i whakakuwaretia e te Atua te whakaaro nui o tenei ao? (aiōn g165)

Ko e fē ʻae poto? Ko e fē ʻae tangata tohi? Ko e fē ʻae fakakikihi ʻo māmani? ʻIkai kuo fakamatavalea ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae poto ʻo māmani? (aiōn g165)

21 I te mea hoki i runga i to te Atua whakaaro nui, kihai nga whakaaro nui o te ao i mohio ki te Atua, na ka pai te Atua kia meinga te kuware o te kupu kauwhau hei whakaora i te hunga e whakapono ana.

He koeʻuhi ʻi he poto ʻoe ʻOtua naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻe māmani ʻi hono poto, pea naʻe lelei ki he ʻOtua ʻi he “vale” ʻoe malanga ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku tui.

22 Ina hoki ko ta nga Hurai he tono tohu, ko ta nga Kariki he rapu whakaaro nui:

He ʻoku tangi ʻe he kakai Siu ki ha meʻa fakaofo, pea ʻoku kumi ʻe he kakai Kiliki ki he poto:

23 Ko ta matou ia he kauwhau i a te Karaiti i ripekatia he tutukitanga waewae ki nga Hurai, he mea kuware ki nga Kariki;

Ka ʻoku mau malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau, ko e tūkiaʻanga ki he kakai Siu, pea ki he kakai Kiliki ko e vale;

24 Ki te hunga ia e karangatia ana, ahakoa Hurai, ahakoa Kariki, ko te Karaiti, ko te kaha o te Atua, ko te whakaaro mohio o te Atua.

Ka ko e mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua mo e poto ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi, kiate kinautolu kuo ui, ʻi he kakai Siu mo e kakai Kiliki.

25 No te mea he kuware no te Atua nui atu te mohio i nga tangata; he ngoikore no te Atua kaha atu i nga tangata.

He ko ia ʻoku vale ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku poto lahi ia ʻi he tangata; mo ia ʻoku vaivai ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku mālohi lahi ia ʻi he tangata.

26 Titiro oti ki to koutou karangatanga, e oku teina, kihai i tokomaha te hunga whakaaro o te wahi ki te kikokiko, kihai i tokomaha te hunga nunui, kihai i tokomaha nga rangatira, e karangatia ana:

He ʻoka mou mamata ki homou ui, ʻe kāinga, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ui ha tokolahi ʻoe poto fakakakano, pe ko e tokolahi ʻi he mālohi, pe ko e tokolahi ʻi he houʻeiki:

27 Engari i whiriwhiria e te Atua ko nga mea kuware o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai te hunga whakaaro; i whiriwhiria ano e te Atua ko nga mea ngoikore o te ao, hei mea e whakama ai nga mea kaha.

Ka kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa vale ʻoe māmani, ke fakamā ʻae poto; pea kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa vaivai ʻoe māmani, ke fakamā ʻae mālohi;

28 Ko nga mea ware o te ao, ko nga mea e whakahaweatia ana, ko ena i whiriwhiria e te Atua, ae, ko nga mea kahore noa iho, kia whakakahoretia ai e ia nga tino mea ake;

Mo e kau lāuvale ʻoe māmani, mo e meʻa kuo manuki, kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ʻikai, ke ne fakaʻosi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ai:

29 Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.

Ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha toko taha ʻi hono ʻao.

30 Nana hoki koutou i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kua meinga nei ia hei take whakaaro nui mo tatou, he mea na te Atua, hei tika, hei whakatapu, hei hoko:

Ka ko e meʻa ʻiate ia ʻoku mou ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻaia kuo hoko ai ia mei he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, ko e poto, mo e fakatonuhia, mo e māʻoniʻoni, mo e huhuʻi:

31 Kia rite ai ki te mea kua oti te tuhituhi, Ki te whakamanamana tetahi, me whakamanamana ia ki te Ariki.

Koeʻuhi, ke hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko ia ʻoku vikiviki, ke vikiviki ia ʻi he ʻEiki.”
