Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Take heed that you do not your justice before men, to be seen by them: otherwise you shall not have a reward of your Father who is 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.
2Therefore when thou dost an almsdeed, sound not a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be honoured by men. Amen I say to you, they have received their 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 thou dost alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth.
3Ka ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻohema ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu:
4That thy alms may be in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
4Koeʻuhi ke lilo hoʻo foaki: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
5And when ye pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their 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 thou when thou shalt pray, enter into thy chamber, and having shut the door, pray to thy Father in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret will repay thee.
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 are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may 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.
8Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, 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.
9Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
9Ko ia ke pehē ni hoʻomou lotu: Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy 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 supersubstantial bread.
11Ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai.
12And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive 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 evil. Amen.
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 will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences.
14“He kapau te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi.
15But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
15Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai hoʻomou angahala.
16And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their 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 thou, when thou fastest anoint thy head, and wash thy face;
17Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata;
18That thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee.
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.
19Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through 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 lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor 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 thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
21He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, pea ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
22The light of thy body is thy eye. If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome.
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 thy eye be evil thy whole body shall be darksome. If then the light that is in thee, be darkness: the darkness itself how great shall it be!
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 man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
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 say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment?
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?
26Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value 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?
27And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit?
27Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui ʻi heʻene tokanga ki ai?
28And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they 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:
29But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as 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.
30And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye 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?
31Be not solicitous therefore, saying, What shall we eat: or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
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 after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things.
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.
33Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall 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.
34Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
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.
