Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And it came to pass, that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
1Pea naʻe pehē, naʻe lotu ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea hili ia, naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻEiki, akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke lotu, ʻo hangē ko e ako ʻa Sione ki heʻene kau ākonga.”
2And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
2Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka lotu, mou pehē, Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa. Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ʻa māmani ki ho finangalo, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
3Give us this day our daily bread.
3Ke foaki mai kiate kimautolu haʻamau meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.
4Pea ke fakamolemole kiate kimautolu ʻemau angahala; He ʻoku mau fakamolemole foki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angahala mai kiate kimautolu. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi; Kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi.”
5And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,
5Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe ai hano kāinga, ʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻi he tuʻuapō, ʻo pehē ki ai, ‘Kāinga, ko ʻeku nō ʻae foʻi mā ʻe tolu;
6Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him.
6He ko e kāinga ʻoʻoku kuo haʻu kiate au ʻi he fononga, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku meʻa ke tuku ki hono ʻao?’
7And he from within should answer, and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
7Pea ʻe lea mai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto fale, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke fakafiuʻi au; kuo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea kuo mau ʻi he mohenga mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa tuʻu hake ʻo foaki kiate koe.’
8Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth.
8ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuʻu hake ia ʻo foaki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga ia, ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kole tāumaʻu, ʻe tuʻu hake ai ia, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene masiva.
9And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
9“Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kole, pea ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo kiate kimoutolu.
10For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
10He ko ia ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ʻe toʻo kiate ia ʻoku tukituki.
11And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
11Ko e tamai fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻa hono foha, te ne ʻange ki ai ha maka? Pe ko e ika, ʻe tuku ʻae ika kae ʻatu ki ai ha ngata?
12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?
12Pe ʻi heʻene kole ʻae foʻi manu, te ne ʻatu ki ai ha sikopio?
13If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
13Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo, ka ko e angakovi, ke foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki hoʻomou fānau; ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fie foaki ʻe he Tamai ʻi he langi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?”
14And he was casting out a devil, and the same was dumb: and when he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes were in admiration at it:
14¶ Pea naʻe kapusi ʻae tēvolo, ʻaia naʻe noa. Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo, naʻe lea ʻae noa; pea ofo ai ʻae kakai.
15But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.
15Ka naʻe pehē ʻe honau niʻihi, “ʻOku ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
16And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven.
16Pea ʻahiʻahi ʻe he niʻihi, ʻonau kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi.
17But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall.
17Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mahalo, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e fale ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe holo ia.
18And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.
18Pea kapau ʻe feʻiteʻitani ʻa Sētane kiate ia, ʻe tuʻu fēfē hono puleʻanga? He ʻoku mou pehē ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe.
19Now if I cast out devils by Beelzebub; by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
19Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻia hai ʻe homou ngaahi foha? Ko ia ko hoʻomou kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu .
20But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.
20Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻaki ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe ʻOtua, tā kuo hoko moʻoni ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
21When a strong man armed keepeth his court, those things are in peace which he possesseth.
21“ʻOka leʻohi hono fale ʻe ha tangata mālohi mo e mahafutau, ʻoku malu pe ʻene ngaahi meʻa:
22But if a stronger than he come upon him, and overcome him; he will take away all his armour wherein he trusted, and will distribute his spoils.
22Ka ʻi he hoko kiate ia ha taha ʻoku mālohi lahi, ʻo ikuʻi ia, ʻoku ne faʻao ʻa ʻene mahafu kotoa pē naʻe falala ia ki ai, pea tufaki ʻene meʻa.
23He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
23“Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku fakahē ʻe ia.
24When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest; and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out.
24“ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli ʻi ha tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he ngaahi potu mōmoa, ʻo kumi mālōlōʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia ; pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale naʻaku haʻu mei ai.’
25And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
25Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, ʻoku ne ʻilo ia kuo tafi mo teuteu.
26Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in they dwell there. And the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.
26Pea toki ʻalu ai ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku angahala lahi ʻiate ia; pea nau hū ʻo nofo ki ai: pea kovi lahi ʻa e anga ki mui ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene anga ʻi muʻa.
27And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.
27¶ Pea pehē, naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo e kalanga mai ʻae fefine mei he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manāva naʻa ne fua ʻaki koe, pea mo e huhu naʻa ke huhū ai.”
28But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
28Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ka ʻoku monūʻia lahi hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea fai ki ai.”
29And the multitudes running together, he began to say: This generation is a wicked generation: it asketh a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
29¶ Pea kuo lolofi mai ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea fua lea ia, ʻo pehē , “Ko e toʻutangata angakovi eni; ʻoku nau kumi ʻae fakaʻilonga; ka ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona.
30For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation.
30ʻO hangē ko e fakaʻilonga ʻa Siona ki he kakai Ninive, ʻe pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he toʻutangata ni.
31The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold more than Solomon here.
31ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi-fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia; he naʻe haʻu ia mei he potu mamaʻo ʻo māmani ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Solomone.
32The men of Ninive shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas; and behold more than Jonas here.
32ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia: he naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
33No man lighteth a candle, and putteth it in a hidden place, nor under a bushel; but upon a candlestick, that they that come in, may see the light.
33“ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne tutu ha maama, pea tuku ia ki ha potu lilo, pe ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku hū ki ai.
34The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body will be lightsome: but if it be evil, thy body also will be darksome.
34Ko e maama ʻoe sino ʻae mata: ko ia kapau ʻe haohaoa ho mata, ʻe pito foki ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama; ko ia kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata , ʻe fonu foki ho sino ʻi he poʻuli.
35Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkness.
35Ko ia vakai naʻa hoko ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe koe poʻuli.
36If then thy whole body be lightsome, having no part of darkness; the whole shall be lightsome; and as a bright lamp, shall enlighten thee.
36Ko ia kapau ʻe māmangia ho sino kotoa, pea taʻefakapoʻuli hano potu, ʻe māmangia kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e fakamaama ʻaki koe ʻae fuʻu ulo ʻoe maama.”
37And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.
37¶ Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene kole ʻae Fālesi ʻe tokotaha kiate ia ke na kai mo ia: pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻo nofo hifo ke kai.
38And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.
38Pea ofo ʻae Fālesi ʻi heʻene mamata naʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa fanofano, pea toki kai.
39And the Lord said to him: Now you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inside is full of rapine and iniquity.
39Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku mou fakamaʻa ʻae tuʻa ipu inu mo e ipu kai, ka ʻoku fonu homou loto ʻi he fakamālohi mo e angakovi.
40Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without, make also that which is within?
40ʻAe kau vale, ʻikai ko ia pe naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa, naʻe ngaohi foki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto?
41But yet that which remaineth, give alms; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
41Ka mou foaki muʻa ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa mei he meʻa ʻoku mou maʻu; pea vakai, ʻoku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
42But woe to you, Pharisees, because you tithe mint and rue and every herb; and pass over judgment, and the charity of God. Now these things you ought to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
42“Kae malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou tukuhau ʻi he mini mo e pekano mo e ngaahi ʻakau iiki kotoa pē, ka ʻoku mou taʻetokanga ki he fakamaau mo e ʻofa ki he ʻOtua: naʻe totonu ke fai eni, kaeʻoua naʻa liʻaki ʻena.
43Woe to you, Pharisees, because you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the marketplace.
43“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou manako ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau.
44Woe to you, because you are as sepulchres that appear not, and men that walk over are not aware.
44ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ko e mālualoi! He ʻoku mou tatau mo e ngaahi faʻitoka ʻoku ʻikai hā mai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ai.”
45And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him: Master, in saying these things, thou reproachest us also.
45¶ Pea toki lea mai ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻi hoʻo pehē mai, ʻoku ke valoki ai ʻakimautolu foki.”
46But he said: Woe to you lawyers also, because you load men with burdens which they cannot bear, and you yourselves touch not the packs with one of your fingers.
46Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu foki, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He ʻoku mou hili ki he kakai ʻae ngaahi kavenga ʻoku fakamamahi hono fua, ka ʻoku ʻikai ala ʻekimoutolu haʻamou tuhu ʻe taha ki he ngaahi kavenga.
47Woe to you who build the monuments of the prophets: and your fathers killed them.
47ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu! He ʻoku mou langa ʻae ngaahi fonualoto ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
48Truly you bear witness that you consent to the doings of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and you build their sepulchres.
48Ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fakamoʻoni ʻoku mou leleiʻia ʻi he faianga ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: he naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku mou langa honau ngaahi fonualoto.
49For this cause also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute.
49Ko ia naʻe pehē ai foki ʻae poto ʻae ʻOtua, ‘Te u fekau atu kiate kinautolu ʻae kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, pea ko honau niʻihi te nau tāmateʻi mo fakatanga:’
50That the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
50Koeʻuhi ke ʻeke ki he toʻutangata ni ʻae toto ʻoe kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe lilingi talu mei he tupuʻanga ʻo māmani;
51From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who was slain between the alter and the temple: Yea I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
51Mei he toto ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻo aʻu ki he toto ʻo Sakalaia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau mo e potu toputapu: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻeke ia mei he toʻutangata ni.
52Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered in, and those that were entering in, you have hindered.
52“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He kuo mou ʻave ʻae ki ʻoe ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou hū ki ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ko kinautolu naʻe teu ke hū ki ai naʻa mou taʻofi.”
53And as he was saying these things to them, the Pharisees and the lawyers began violently to urge him, and to oppress his mouth about many things,
53Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kinautolu, naʻe kamata fai fakamatalili mo langaʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ke ne lea ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
54Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
54ʻO nau lamasi, mo kumi ke femioʻekina ia mei hono ngutu, koeʻuhi ke nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
