1 Kolinitō 3
1But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
1PEA 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.
2I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,
2Naʻaku 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.
3for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?
3He 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?
4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
4Koeʻuhi 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?
5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.
5Pea 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.
6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
6Naʻaku tō ʻeau, pea fakaviviku ʻe ʻApolosi; ka ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne foaki hono tupu.
7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
7Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ʻaia ʻoku tō, pe ko ia ʻoku fakaviviku; ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne foaki hono tupu.
8He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.
8Ko 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.
9For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.
9He ko e kaunga ngāue ʻakimautolu mo e ʻOtua: ko e ngāue ʻae ʻOtua mo e fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.
10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.
10ʻO 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.
11For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
11He ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa ʻai ha tuʻunga kehe, ka ko ia pe kuo ʻai, ʻaia ko Sisu Kalaisi.
12Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—
12Pea 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;
13each one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
13ʻE 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.
14If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
14Kapau ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngāue ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe ha taha, te ne maʻu ʻae totongi.
15If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
15Kapau ʻe vela ʻae ngāue ʻa ha taha, ʻe masiva ai ia: pea ʻe fakamoʻui pe ia; ka ʻe hangē ha hao mei he afi.
16Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
16ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko e fale tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua?
17If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
17Kapau ʻe ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, pea ko e fale tapu ko ia ʻakimoutolu.
18Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
18ʻOua 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.
19For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”
19He ko e poto ʻo māmani, ko e vale ia ki he ʻOtua. He kuo tohi, “ʻOku ne moʻua ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fie poto.”
20and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”
20Pea pehē foki, “ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻoe poto, ko e vaʻinga ia.”
21So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,
21Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha taha ʻi he tangata. He ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē;
22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,
22Pe 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;
23and you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
23Pea ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻoku ʻoe ʻOtua ʻa Kalaisi.
