1 Kolinitō 3

1 Pea naʻe ʻikai teu faʻa lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ʻo hangē ki he fakalaumālie, kae hangē ki he fakakakano, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e kau valevale ʻia Kalaisi.

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babies in Christ;

2 Naʻaku fafangaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae kakano; he naʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa tali ia, pea kuo hoko eni, ʻoku ʻikai foki te mou faʻa tali ia.

with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for you were not yet able, but not even yet are you now able,

3 He ʻoku mou kei fakakakano: he ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae femehekaʻaki, mo e fakakikihi, mo e mavahevahe, ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano, pea felakaʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he tangata?

for yet you are fleshly, for where [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly, and walk in the manner of men?

4 Koeʻuhi ʻoku lolotonga ʻae pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo Paula au;” pea pehē ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku ʻo ʻApolosi au;” ʻikai ʻoku mou fakakakano pe?

For when one may say, “I, indeed, am of Paul,” and another, “I—of Apollos,” are you not fleshly?

5 Pea ko hai ai ʻa Paula, pea ko hai ai ʻa ʻApolosi, ka ko e ongo tamaioʻeiki naʻa mou tui ai, ʻio, ʻo taau mo ia naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEiki ki he tangata taki taha.

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but servants through whom you believed, and to each as the LORD gave?

6 Naʻaku tō ʻeau, pea fakaviviku ʻe ʻApolosi; ka ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne foaki hono tupu.

I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth;

7 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tō, pe ko ia ʻoku fakaviviku; ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne foaki hono tupu.

so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who is watering, but He who is giving growth—God;

8 Ko eni, ko ia ʻoku tō mo ia ʻoku fakaviviku ʻoku taha pe: pea ʻe taki taha maʻu ʻene totongi ʻaʻana ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngāue.

and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,

9 He ko e kaunga ngāue ʻakimautolu mo e ʻOtua: ko e ngāue ʻae ʻOtua mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.

for we are fellow-workmen of God; you are God’s tillage, God’s building.

10 ‌ʻO fakatatau mo e ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua kuo foaki kiate au, kuo u ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻo ngali mo e tufunga poto, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu ki ai ʻe ha tokotaha. Ka ke taki taha vakai pe ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻene fokotuʻu ki ai.

According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a wise master-builder, I have laid a foundation, and another builds on [it],

11 He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa ʻai ha tuʻunga kehe, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻai, ʻaia ko Sisu Kalaisi.

for no one is able to lay another foundation except that which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ;

12 Pea kapau ʻoku fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha ki he tuʻunga ni, ha koula, pe siliva, pe ha ngaahi maka koloa, pe ko e ʻakau, pe ko e mohuku, pe ko e tefitoʻi kaho;

and if anyone builds on this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—

13 ‌ʻE fakahā ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē taki taha: koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻilo ia ʻi he ʻaho, koeʻuhi ʻe fakahā ia ʻe he afi; pea ʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he afi ʻae ngāue ʻae kakai kotoa pē pe ko e hā hono anga.

the work will become visible of each, for the day will declare [it], because it is revealed in fire, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire will prove;

14 Kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngāue ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha, te ne maʻu ʻae totongi.

if the work of anyone remains that he built on [it], he will receive a wage;

15 Kapau ʻe vela ʻae ngāue ʻa ha taha, ʻe masiva ai ia: pea ʻe fakamoʻui pe ia; ka ʻe hangē ha hao mei he afi.

if the work of any is burned up, he will suffer loss, but himself will be saved, but so as through fire.

16 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?

Have you not known that you are a temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 Kapau ʻe maumau ʻe ha taha ʻae faletapu ʻoe ʻOtua; ʻe maumau ia e he ʻOtua; he ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, pea ko e fale tapu ko ia ʻakimoutolu.

If anyone ruins the temple of God, God will ruin him; for the temple of God is holy, which you are.

18 ‌ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ha taha ʻe ia. Kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ongoongo ko e poto ia ʻi māmani, tuku ke lau ia ko e vale koeʻuhi kae lau ia ko e poto. (aiōn g165)

Let no one deceive himself; if anyone seems to be wise among you in this age—let him become a fool, that he may become wise, (aiōn g165)

19 He ko e poto ʻo māmani, ko e vale ia ki he ʻOtua. He kuo tohi, “ʻOku ne moʻua ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fie poto.”

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it has been written: “Who is taking the wise in their craftiness”;

20 Pea pehē foki, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe poto, ko e vaʻinga ia.”

and again, “The LORD knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.”

21 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha taha ʻi he tangata. He ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē;

So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

22 Pe ko Paula, pe ko ʻApolosi, pe ko Kifasi, pe ko e māmani, pe ko e moʻui, pe ko e mate, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi heni, pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻe haʻu; ʻoku ʻamoutolu kotoa pe;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,

23 Pea ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi.

and you [are] Christ’s, and Christ [is] God’s.
