Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1“Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
1“Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai hoʻomou foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki ai: ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou totongi mei hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
2“Ko ia ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he mālualoi ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e hala, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻae kakai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
3Ka ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻohema ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu:
4so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
4Koeʻuhi ke lilo hoʻo foaki: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
5And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
5¶ “Pea ʻoka ke ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa ke hangē ko e mālualoi: he ʻoku nau manako ke lotu tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e tuliki ʻoe ngaahi hala, koeʻuhi ke mamata ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
6Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka lotu, hū ki hoʻo potu lilo, pea kuo tāpuni ho matapā, lotu ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo; pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
7And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
7Ka ʻoka mou ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa mou launoa, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni: he ʻoku nau mahalo ʻe fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau lea lahi.
8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
8“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tatau mo kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai, ʻi he teʻeki ai te mou kole kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou masiva ai.
9So then, this is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
9Ko ia ke pehē ni hoʻomou lotu: Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa.
10Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
10Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ho finangalo ʻi māmani, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
11Ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
12Pea fakamolemole ʻemau angahala, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kuo fai angahala kiate kimautolu.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
13Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻakimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi, kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi: He ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae pule, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
14For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
14“He kapau te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi.
15But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.
15Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai hoʻomou angahala.
16When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
16¶ “Pea ka mou ka ʻaukai foki, ʻoua naʻa mou fakamatapeko, ʻo hangē ko e kau mālualoi: he ʻoku nau fakakehe honau mata, koeʻuhi ke hā ki he kakai ʻoku nau ʻaukai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
17But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
17Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata;
18so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
18Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hā hoʻo ʻaukai ki he kakai, ka ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, te ne totongi fakahā kiate koe.
19Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
19¶ “ʻOua ʻe fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻoku kai ai ʻe he ane mo e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻoku haeʻi ʻe he kau kaihaʻa ʻo kaihaʻasi:
20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
20Kae fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he ane pe ko e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻe ʻikai haeʻi ia ʻe ha kaihaʻa ke kaihaʻasi:
21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
21He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, pea ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
22The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
22Ko e maama ʻoe sino ko e mata: ko ia kapau ʻoku lelei ho mata, ʻe fonu ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama.
23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
23Pea kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata, ʻe fakapoʻuli ho sino kotoa: ko ia kapau kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻe fēfē hono lahi ʻoe fakapoʻuli ko ia!
24No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
24¶ “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tauhi ʻe ha tangata ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: he te ne fehiʻa ki he tokotaha, kae ʻofa ki he tokotaha; pea te ne kau mo e tokotaha, kae siʻaki ʻae tokotaha. ʻE ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻOtua mo e Koloa,
25Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
25“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimautolu, ʻOua naʻa mou tokanga ki hoʻomou moʻui, ki ha meʻa te mou kai, pe ha meʻa te mou inu; pe ki homou sino, ʻi ha meʻa te mou ʻai ki ai. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi ʻae moʻui ʻi he meʻakai, mo e sino ʻi he kofu?
26Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
26Vakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi, pe fetuku ki ha feleoko; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻiate kinautolu?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
27Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui ʻi heʻene tokanga ki ai?
28And why do you worry about clothes? Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin.
28“Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou tokanga ai ki he kofu? Tokanga ki he fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue, ʻoku feleʻi ʻenau tupu; ʻoku ʻikai te nau ngāue, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau filo:
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
29Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻae teunga ʻo Solomone ʻi hono nāunau kotoa pē mo ha taha ʻokinautolu na.
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
30Pea ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakakofu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mohuku ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai he ʻaho ni, kae lī ki he ngotoʻumu ʻapongipongi, pea ʻe ʻikai lahi hake ʻene fie fakakofuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?
31Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
31“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te tau kai?’ pe, ‘Ko e hā te tau inu?’ pe, ‘Te tau kofuʻaki ʻae hā?’
32For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
32(He ʻoku kumi ʻe he Senitaile ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē:) he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi ʻoku mou masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
33Ka mou fuofua kumi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ʻene māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
34Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga ki he ʻapongipongi: koeʻuhi ʻe tokanga ʻae ʻapongipongi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoʻona. ʻOku tatau mo e ʻaho ʻa hono kovi.
