1 Kolinitō 16

1 Pea ko e meʻa ki he tānaki tokoni ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni, ke fai pe ʻekimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo u fekau ki he ngaahi siasi ʻi Kalētia.

Now, concerning the collection which is for the saints, just as I directed the assemblies of Galatia, so, also do, ye: —

2 ‌ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, ke mou taki taha vaheʻi ʻo tuku ʻae tokoni, ʻo fakatatau mo hono fakamonūʻiaʻi, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha tānaki ʻo kau ka hoko atu.

Upon the first of the week, let, each one of you, put, by itself, in store, as he may be prospering, —lest, as soon as I come, then, collections, should be in progress.

3 Pea kau ka hoko atu, ko kinautolu te mou loto ki ai, te u fekau ʻakinautolu mo e ngaahi tohi, ke ʻave hoʻomou tokoni ʻofa ki Selūsalema.

And, as soon as I arrive, whomsoever ye shall approve by letters, these, will I send, to bear away your favour unto Jerusalem:

4 Pea kapau ʻe lelei ʻeku ʻalu foki, te nau ʻalu mo au.

And, if it be meet that, I also, be journeying, with me, shall they journey.

5 Pea ko eni, te u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoka hili ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia: he te u ʻalu atu ʻi Masitōnia.

Now I will come unto you, as soon as I have passed through Macedonia, —for I do pass through Macedonia,

6 Pea te u nofo ʻapē ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko mo kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou moimoiʻi au ʻi hoku fononga ki ha potu te u ʻalu ki ai.

And, with you, I may perhaps sojourn, or winter, that, ye, may set me forward, whithersoever I may be journeying.

7 He koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te u fou atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he fononga ni; ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki te u nofo fuoloa siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe lelei ki he ʻEiki.

For I do not wish to see you, just now, by the way; for I hope to remain, some time, with you, —if, the Lord, permit.

8 Ka te u tatali ʻi ʻEfesō ʻo aʻu ki he Penitekosi.

But I remain in Ephesus, until the Pentecost,

9 He kuo fakaava kiate au ʻae matapā lahi pea ʻaonga, pea ʻoku tokolahi ʻae fili.

For, a door, unto me, hath opened, great and effectual, and, opposers, are many.

10 Pea ko eni, kapau ʻe hoko atu ʻa Timote, vakai ke ʻiate kimoutolu taʻemanavahē ia: he ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo hangē foki ko au.

But, if Timothy should come, see that, without fear, he be with you, for, in the work of the Lord, doth he labour, even as, I:

11 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa manukiʻi ia ʻe ha tokotaha: kae tokoniʻi ia, ke fononga mai ʻi he fiemālie, koeʻuhi ke haʻu ia kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻamanaki kiate ia fakataha mo e kāinga.

Let no one then despise him; and set ye him forward in peace, that he may come unto me, for I expect him with the brethren.

12 Pea ko e meʻa ki hotau kāinga ko ʻApolosi, naʻaku kole lahi kiate ia ke ne ʻalu atu mo e kāinga kiate kimoutolu: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi loto ia ke ʻalu atu ʻi he kuonga ni; ka ʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi ha kuonga tuʻutuʻumālie kiate ia.

But, concerning Apollos the brother, much, did I beseech him, that he would come unto you, with the brethren, but there was, by no means, any will, that he should come, now; —he will come, however, as soon as he hath good opportunity.

13 Mou leʻo, tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, fai ʻo ngali mo e tangata, mou mālohi.

Be on the watch, stand firm in the faith, be men—be strong;

14 Ke fai hoʻomou ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he ʻofa.

Let, all your affairs, in love, be carried on.

15 ‌ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae fale ʻo Setivena, ko e ʻuluaki fua ia ʻi ʻAkeia, pea kuo nau tuku ʻakinautolu ke tauhi ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, pea ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga,

Now I beseech you, brethren, —ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is a first-fruit of Achaia, and, for the purpose of ministering, they devoted themselves, unto the saints—

16 Ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻakimoutolu ki he kakai pehē, pea kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tokoni mo kimautolu, pea ngāue.

That, ye also, be submitting yourselves unto such as these, —and unto everyone helping in the work and toiling.

17 ‌ʻOku ou fiemālie ʻi he haʻu ʻa Setivena mo Fotuneto mo ʻAkaiko: he ko ia naʻe toe meiate kimoutolu kuo nau totongi.

I Rejoice, moreover, in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: because, your own shortcoming, these, have filled up: —

18 He kuo nau fakafiemālieʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoʻoku mo kimoutolu: ko ia mou fai ʻofa ki he kakai pehē.

They have given rest, in fact, unto my spirit, and yours: hold in acknowledgment, therefore, such as these.

19 Ko e ngaahi siasi ʻo ʻEsia ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku ʻofa lahi atu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻEiki ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pisila, pea mo e siasi ʻoku ʻi hona fale.

The assemblies of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla, with the assembly meeting at their house, salute you much in the Lord:

20 ‌ʻOku ʻofa atu ʻae kāinga kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu. Mou feʻofoʻofani ʻaki ʻae ʻuma māʻoniʻoni.

All the brethren salute you: —Salute ye one another with a holy kiss.

21 Ko e tohi ʻofa eni ʻa Paula ʻaki hoku nima ʻoʻoku.

The salutation of Paul—with my own hand.

22 Kapau ʻoku ai ha tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻofa ia ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ke malaʻia ia. ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻEiki.

If anyone doth not dearly love the Lord, let him be anathema [that is, "accursed"]: Maran atha [that is, "The Lord, cometh"].

23 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.

The favour of the Lord Jesus, be with you.

24 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻeku ʻofa ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. ʻEmeni.

My love, be with you all, in Christ Jesus.
