Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1The same day Jesus going out of the house, sat by the sea side.
1Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he fale, ʻo nofo ʻi he matātahi.
2And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.
2Pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ka ka ʻalu ia ki ha vaka, ʻo nofo ai; ka naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki ʻuta.
3And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.
3Pea lahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻi he lea fakatātā, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi;
4And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.
4“Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae tenga niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
5And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.
5Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he potu makamaka, naʻe siʻi ai ʻae kelekele; pea tupu leva ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai matolu ʻae kelekele;
6And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
6Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
7And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.
7Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia.
8And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.
8Ka naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, pea tupu ai ʻae fua, ko e taki teau ʻae niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻae niʻihi, mo e tolungofulu ʻae niʻihi.”
9He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9“Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
10And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?
10Pea haʻu ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā?”
11Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.
11Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Koeʻuhi kuo tuku kiate kimoutolu ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ka ʻoku ʻikai tuku kiate kinautolu.
12For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.
12He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe toe foaki kiate ia, pea te ne maʻu ʻo lahi; ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
13Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
13Ko ia ʻoku ou lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā: koeʻuhi ʻoku nau ʻā, kae ʻikai mamata; pea ʻoku nau fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo.
14And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
14Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ʻa ʻIsaia, ʻoku pehē, ‘Te mou fakaongoongo pea fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi; pea te mou siofia ʻo mamata, kae ʻikai ʻiloʻi:
15For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
15He kuo fakaongonoa ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ni, pea kuo tuli honau telinga, pea kuo nau fakamohe honau mata: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mamata honau mata, pea ongoʻi honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻe honau loto, pea liliu ai, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.’
16But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
16“Ka ʻoku monūʻia homou mata, he ʻoku nau mamata: mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau ongoʻi.
17For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
17He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tokolahi ʻae palōfita mo e tangata māʻoniʻoni, naʻe holi ke mamata ʻaia ʻoku mou mamata ai , ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata, pea ke fanongo ʻaia ʻoku mou fanongo ai , ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo.
18Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.
18¶ “Ko ia ke fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he fakatātā ʻoe tangata tūtuuʻi.
19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.
19ʻOka fanongo ʻe ha taha ki he folofola ʻoe puleʻanga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae tokotaha angakovi, ʻo faʻao ʻaia naʻe tūtuuʻi ki hono loto. Ko eni ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he veʻe hala.
20And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.
20Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he potu maka, ko ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea maʻu fiefia leva ia;
21Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.
21Ka ʻoku ʻikai aka ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻoku tolonga siʻi pe ia: he ʻoka hoko ʻae mamahi pe ʻae fakatanga koeʻuhi ko e folofola, ʻoku hinga leva ia.
22And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless.
22Pea ko ia foki naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he ʻakau talatala, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola; ka ko e tokanga ki māmani, mo e fakaheke ʻe he koloa, ʻoku ne fakakāsiaʻi ʻae folofola, pea taʻefua ai ia.
23But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.
23Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he kelekele lelei, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea tokangaʻi; pea tupu ai hono fua, ʻo taki teau ʻi he niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻi he niʻihi, mo tolungofulu ʻi he niʻihi.”
24Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.
24¶ Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki heʻene ngoue:
25But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.
25Pea lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻae kakai, naʻe haʻu hono fili ʻo ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga kovi ʻi he uite, kae ʻalu ia.
26And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.
26Pea kuo tupu hake hono muka, pea kamata fua, pea toki hā ai foki ʻae ʻakau kovi.
27And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?
27Pea haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeiki, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻikai naʻa ke tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki hoʻo ngoue? Pea kuo tupu mei fē ʻae ʻakau kovi?’
28And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
28Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e fili kuo ne fai eni.’ Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, ‘ʻE lelei kiate koe ʻemau ʻalu ʻo taʻaki ia mei ai ?’
29And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.
29Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai; telia ʻi hoʻomou taʻaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻe mataʻaki ai mo e uite foki.
30Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.
30Tuku ke na tupu fakataha ʻo aʻu ki he ututaʻu: pea ʻi he fai ʻoe ututaʻu te u tala ki he kau tuʻusi, Mou tomuʻa tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻo noʻo ʻū ke tutu ia: kae tānaki ʻae uite ki hoku feleoko.’”
31Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.
31¶ Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, ʻaia naʻe tō ʻe ha tangata ʻi heʻene ngoue.
32Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.
32ʻAia ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he tengaʻi ʻakau kotoa pē: ka ʻoka tupu ia, ʻoku lahi taha pe ʻi he faʻahinga ʻakau iiki, pea hoko ia ko e fuʻu ʻakau, ke tuʻu ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
33Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.
33¶ Pea lea ʻaki ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha; “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo ʻai ki he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu kotoa pē ia.”
34All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.
34Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki he kakai ʻi he fakatātā; pea naʻe ʻikai lea ia kiate kinautolu ka ʻi he fakatātā pe:
35That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.
35Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē, “Te u faʻai hoku ngutu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; te u fakahā atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fufū talu mei he tupu ʻo māmani.”
36Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.
36Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ʻae kakai, pea hū ia ki he fale: pea haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻoe tenga kovi ʻi he ngoue.”
37Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.
37Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei, ko e Foha ia ʻoe tangata;
38And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.
38Ko e ngoue, ko māmani ia; ko e tenga lelei, ko e fānau ia ʻoe puleʻanga; ka ko e tenga kovi, ko e fānau ia ʻae tokotaha angakovi;
39And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.
39Ko e fili naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ia, ko e tēvolo ia; ko e ututaʻu, ko e ikuʻanga ʻo māmani; pea ko e kau tuʻusi, ko e kau ʻāngelo.
40Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.
40Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi ʻo tutu ʻi he afi; ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻoe māmani.
41The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.
41ʻE fekau atu ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻene kau ʻāngelo, pea te nau tānaki mei hono puleʻanga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakakovi, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala;
42And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
42Pea ʻe laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
43Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
43Pea ʻe toki ulo atu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻenau Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
44The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
44¶ “Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e koloa kuo fufū ʻi ha ngoue; ʻaia ka ʻilo ʻe ha tangata, ʻoku ne fufū ia, pea ʻalu fiefia ai, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngoue ko ia.
45Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.
45¶ “Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata fakatau, ʻoku kumi mataʻitofe lelei:
46Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.
46ʻAia, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻae mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi, ʻoku ʻalu ia, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ia.
47Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.
47¶ “Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kupenga, naʻe ʻaʻau ʻi tahi, pea tau ai ʻae ngaahi ika kehekehe:
48Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.
48Pea kuo fonu ia, pea nau taki ki ʻuta, pea nofo ʻo tānaki ʻae lelei ki he ngaahi kato, kae liʻaki ʻae kovi.
49So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.
49ʻE pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻo māmani ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻāngelo, ʻo vaheʻi ʻae angahala mei he angatonu,
50And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
50ʻO laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi; pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
51Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.
51Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
52He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.
52Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ko e akonaki kotoa pē kuo akonekina ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ʻoku tatau ia mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi mei heʻene koloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa foʻou mo e meʻa motuʻa.”
53And it came to pass: when Jesus had finished these parables, he passed from thence.
53¶ Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ni, pea ʻalu ia mei ai.
54And coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogues, so that they wondered and said: How came this man by this wisdom and miracles?
54Pea kuo haʻu ia ki hono fonua, naʻa ne akonaki ʻakinautolu ʻi honau falelotu: ko ia ne nau ofo lahi ai, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku mei fē ʻae poto mo e ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻae tangata ni?
55Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude:
55ʻIkai ko e foha eni ʻoe tufunga? ʻIkai ʻoku ui ʻene faʻē ko Mele? Mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ko Semisi, mo Sose, mo Saimone, mo Siutasi?
56And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence therefore hath he all these things?
56Mo hono ngaahi tuofefine kotoa pē, ʻikai ʻoku nau ʻiate kitautolu? Pea kuo maʻu mei fē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
57And they were scandalized in his regard. But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
57Pea nau tūkia ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai masiva fakaʻapaʻapa ha palōfita, ka ʻi hono fonua pe, mo hono fale ʻoʻona.”
58And he wrought not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
58Pea naʻe ʻikai fai ai ʻe ia ha mana lahi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui.
