Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1At that time Jesus went through the corn on the sabbath: and his disciples being hungry, began to pluck the ears, and to eat.
1Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi he ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea naʻe fiekaia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau kamata toli ʻae fua ʻoe uite, ʻo kai.
2And the Pharisees seeing them, said to him: Behold thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days.
2Ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
3But he said to them: Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and they that were with him:
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene fiekaia, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia;
4How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only?
4ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke ne kai, pe ko kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe?
5Or have ye not read in the law, that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and are without blame?
5Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻi he fono, ʻoku fai taʻehalaia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻaia ʻoku kovi ke fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?
6But I tell you that there is here a greater than the temple.
6Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi he potu ni ha taha ʻoku lahi ʻi he falelotu lahi.
7And if you knew what this meaneth: I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: you would never have condemned the innocent.
7Pea ka ne mou ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lea ni , ‘ʻE ʻikai te u lelei lahi ʻi he feilaulau, ka ʻi he lotoʻofa,’ pehē, ne ʻikai te mou tukuekina ʻae taʻehalaia.
8For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
8He ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe ʻaho Sāpate foki.”
9And when he has passed from thence, he came into their synagogues.
9¶ Pea kuo ʻalu ia mei ai, pea hū ia ki honau falelotu.
10And behold there was a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
10Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima. Pea nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngofua ke fakamoʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?” Koeʻuhi ke nau fakakoviʻi ia.
11But he said to them: What man shall there be among you, that hath one sheep: and if the same fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not take hold on it and lift it up?
11Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata fē ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku taha pe ʻene sipi, pea ka tō ia ki ha luo ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻe ʻikai te ne puke ia, ʻo toʻo hake?
12How much better is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do a good deed on the sabbath days.
12Pea ʻikai ʻoku lelei lahi ʻae tangata ʻi he sipi? Ko ia, ʻoku ngofua ke fai lelei ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
13Then he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand; and he stretched it forth, and it was restored to health even as the other.
13Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, “Mafao atu ho nima.” Pea ne mafao atu ia ; pea fakamoʻui ia, ʻo hangē ko hono nima ʻe taha.
14And the Pharisees going out made a consultation against him, how they might destroy him.
14¶ Pea toki ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau, pe fēfē ʻenau tāmateʻi ia.
15But Jesus knowing it, retired from thence: and many followed him, and he healed them all.
15Ka ʻi he ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu mei ai: pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē;
16And he charged them that they should not make him known.
16Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakaʻilo ia:
17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet, saying:
17Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē,
18Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul hath been well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
18“Vakai ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo u fili; ʻoku ou ʻofa ai, pea ʻoku mālieʻia ai hoku laumālie: Te u tuku hoku laumālie kiate ia, pea te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi fekau ki he Senitaile.
19He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
19ʻE ʻikai fakakikihi ia, pe kalanga; pea ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻe ha taha ki hono leʻo ʻi he hala.
20The bruised reed he shall not break: and smoking flax he shall not extinguish: till he send forth judgment unto victory.
20ʻE ʻikai te ne fesiʻi ha kaho kuo volu, pe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoku kohu pē, kaeʻoua ke mālohi ia ʻi he fofola ʻo ʻene ngaahi fekau.
21And in his name the Gentiles shall hope.
21Pea ʻe falala ʻae Senitaile ki hono huafa.”
22Then was offered to him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, so that he spoke and saw.
22¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ai kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe kui mo noa, kuo ʻulusino ai ʻae tēvolo: pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia, ko ia naʻe lea mo ʻā ai ʻaia naʻe kui mo noa.
23And all the multitudes were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?
23Pea ofo ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “ʻIkai ko e Foha eni ʻo Tevita?”
24But the Pharisees hearing it, said: This man casteth not out the devils but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
24Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai kapusi ʻae tēvolo ʻe he siana ni, kae ʻia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
25And Jesus knowing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
25Pea ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e kolo mo e fale kotoa pē kuo feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia:
26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand?
26Pea kapau ʻoku kapusi ʻe Sētane ʻa Sētane, kuo fehiʻa ia kiate ia.; pea ʻe tuʻu fēfē ʻa hono puleʻanga?
27And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
27Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou fānau ʻia hai? Ko ia ko homou kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu.
28But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
28Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea tā kuo hoko mai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
29Or how can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? and then he will rifle his house.
29“ʻE faʻa hū fēfē ha taha ki he fale ʻoe tokotaha mālohi, ʻo kaihaʻasi ʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa haʻi ʻae tokotaha mālohi? Pea te ne toki kaihaʻasi ʻene koloa.
30He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
30Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku ne fakahē ke mamaʻo.
31Therefore I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
31¶ “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e angahala kotoa pē mo e lohiakiʻi, ʻe fakamolemole ia ki he kakai: ka ko e lohiakiʻi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni , ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ia ki he kakai.
32And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall speak against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come.
32Pea ko ia ʻoku ne lea kovi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe fakamolemolea ia: ka ko ia ʻoku lea kovi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea, ʻi he māmani, pe ʻi he maama ʻe haʻu.
33Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known.
33“Ke pehē, ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau, pea lelei mo hono fua; pe pehē, ʻoku kovi ʻae ʻakau, pea kovi mo hono fua: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻae ʻakau ʻi hono fua.
34O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
34ʻAe hako ʻoe ngata fekai! ʻE fēfeeʻi hoʻomou faʻa lea lelei, ka ʻoku mou kovi pe? He ʻoku lea ʻae ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoku ʻi he loto.
35A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of an evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
35ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei mei he koloa lelei ʻoe loto : pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi mei he koloa kovi ʻoe loto .
36But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment.
36“Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e lea kovi kotoa pē ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai, ʻe fakamaau ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau.
37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
37Koeʻuhi ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea ʻe fakahalaiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea.”
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Master we would see a sign from thee.
38¶ Pea toki leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fie mamata ki ha fakaʻilonga meiate koe.”
39Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
39Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e toʻutangata kovi mo feʻauaki ʻoku holi ki ha fakaʻilonga; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona;
40For as Jonas was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
40He naʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika lahi: pea pehē, ʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi lalo fonua.
41The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.
41ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia ia: koeʻuhi naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
42The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
42ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia 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.
43And when an unclean spirit is gone out of a man he walketh through dry places seeking rest, and findeth none.
43“ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli mei he tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he potu mōmoa ʻo kumi mālōloʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia.
44Then he saith: I will return into my house from whence I came out. And coming he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
44Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale ne u haʻu mei ai; pea ka haʻu ia, ʻoku ne ʻilo ia kuo liʻaki, pea kuo tafi pea teuteu.
45Then he goeth, and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is made worse than the first. So shall it be also to this wicked generation.
45Pea toki ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku kovi 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. Pea ʻe pehē pe foki ki he toʻutangata angakovi ni.”
46As he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
46¶ Pea ʻi heʻene kei lea ki he kakai, vakai, ko ʻene faʻē mo hono ngaahi kāinga naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ʻonau fie lea kiate ia.
47And one said unto him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking thee.
47Pea pehē ʻe ha taha kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ʻituʻa hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga, ko ʻenau fie lea kiate koe.”
48But he answering him that told him, said: Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?
48Pea ne lea, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, naʻa ne fakahā mai, “Ko hai ʻeku faʻē? Pea ko hai mo hoku kāinga?”
49And stretching forth his hand towards his disciples, he said: Behold my mother and my brethren.
49Pea mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga!
50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
50He ko ia ia te ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ko hoku tokoua ia, mo hoku tuofefine, mo ʻeku faʻē.”
