Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Judge not, that you may not be judged,
1“ʻOua naʻa mou fakamaau, telia naʻa fakamaaua ʻakimoutolu.
2For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
2He ko e anga ko ia ʻoku mou fakamaau ʻaki, ʻe fakamaaua ai ʻakimoutolu: pea ko e fuofua ko ia te mo fua ʻaki, ʻe toe fua ʻaki ia kiate kimoutolu.
3Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
3Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻoku ʻi he mata ʻo ho kāinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki he fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou?
4Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
4Pea ʻe fēfē haʻo faʻa pehē ki ho kāinga, ‘Tuku ke u toʻoa mai ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei ho mata:’ kae vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻi ho mata ʻoʻou?
5Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
5Ko e mālualoi koe, tomuʻa, lī ʻae fuʻu ʻakau mei ho mata ʻoʻou; pea te ke toki mamata totonu ke toʻo ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei he mata ʻo ho kāinga.
6Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
6¶ “ʻOua naʻa ʻoatu ʻae meʻa māʻoniʻoni ki he fanga kulī, pe sī hoʻomou mataʻitofe ki he fanga puaka, telia naʻa nau malamalaki ia ʻi honau lalo vaʻe, pea foki mai ʻo haehae ʻakimoutolu.
7Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
7¶ “Kole, pea ʻe foaki ia kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo ia kiate kimoutolu:
8For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
8He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ko ia ʻoku tukituki, ʻe toʻo kiate ia.
9Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
9He ko e tangata fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻe hono foha, te ne ʻoange ki ai ha maka?
10Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
10Pe kapau te ne kole ha ika, ʻe ʻoange ki ai ha ngata?
11If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
11Ko 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 ʻae ngaahi lelei ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?
12All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
12Ko ia, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou loto ke fai ʻe he kakai kiate kimoutolu, ke mou fai ia kiate kinautolu: he ko e fono ia mo e kau palōfita.
13Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
13¶ “Mou hū ʻi he matapā fāsiʻi: he ʻoku fālahi ʻae matapā, mo ʻataʻatā ʻae hala, ʻoku fakatau ki he mate, pea ʻoku hū ai ʻae tokolahi.
14How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
14Koeʻuhi ʻoku fāsiʻi ʻae matapā, mo lausiʻi ʻae hala, ʻoku fakatau ki he moʻui, pea ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe he tokosiʻi pe.
15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
15¶ “Vakai telia ʻae kau palōfita kākā, ʻoku haʻu kiate kimoutolu ʻoku kofu fakasipi, ka ko e fanga ulofi fekai ʻi loto ʻakinautolu.
16By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
16Te mou ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fua. He ʻoku toli ʻe he kakai ʻae fua ʻoe vaine ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pe ko e fiki ʻi he talatalaʻāmoa?
17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
17Pea pehē, ʻoku tupu ʻi he ʻakau lelei kotoa pē ʻae fua lelei; kae tupu ʻi he ʻakau kovi ʻae fua kovi.
18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
18ʻE ʻikai faʻa tupu ʻi he ʻakau lelei ʻae fua kovi, pe tupu ʻi he ʻakau kovi ʻae fua lelei.
19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
19Ko e ʻakau kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tupu ai ʻae fua lelei ʻoku tā hifo, pea laku ki he afi.
20Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
20Ko ia te mou ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fua.
21Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21¶ “ʻE ʻikai hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki,’ ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
22Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
22ʻE pehē kiate au ʻe he tokolahi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, ʻikai naʻa mau akonaki ʻi ho huafa? Pea ʻi ho huafa naʻa mau kapusi kituʻa ʻae kau tēvolo? Pea ʻi ho huafa naʻa mau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana lahi?’
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
23Pea te u toki fakahā kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u ʻiloa ʻakimoutolu: ʻalu ʻiate au ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fai kovi.’
24Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
24¶ “Ko ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki heʻeku tala ni, pea fai ki ai, te u fakatatau ia ki he tangata poto, naʻe langa hono fale ʻi he funga maka:
25And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
25Pea tō ʻae ʻuha, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, pea hoko mo e havili, ʻo tō ki he fale ko ia; ka naʻe ʻikai holo ia: he naʻe langa ia ʻi he funga maka.
26And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
26“Ka ko ia ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi tala ni, pea ʻikai fai ki ai, ʻe fakatatau ia ki he tangata vale, ʻaia naʻe langa hono fale ʻi he ʻoneʻone:
27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
27Pea tō ʻae ʻuha, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, pea hoko mo e havili, ʻo tō ki he fale ko ia; pea holo ia: pea ko e meʻa lahi ʻa hono holoki.”
28And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
28Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi tala ni, pea ofo ʻae kakai ʻi heʻene akonaki:
29For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
29He naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku mālohi, kae ʻikai hangē ko e kau tangata tohi.
