Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.
1Pea naʻe heka vaka ia, ʻo folau atu, ʻo haʻu ki hono kolo.
2And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
2Pea vakai, naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata naʻe mahaki tete, ʻoku tokoto ʻi he mohenga: pea mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻenau tui, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete; “Foha, ke ke fiemālie; kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.
3Pea vakai, kuo pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi ʻi honau loto, “ʻOku lea fie ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni.”
4And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
4Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou mahalo kovi ai ʻi homou loto?
5Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?
5He ʻoku faingofua ʻae fē, ke lea, ‘Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻeveʻeva?’
6But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
6Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo kuo ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala, (pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete,) “Tuʻu hake, toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu ki ho fale.”
7And he arose, and went into his house.
7Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale.
8And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.
8Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ʻae mālohi pehē ki he tangata.
9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
9¶ Pea ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu mei ai, naʻa ne mamata ki he tangata ko Mātiu hono hingoa, ʻoku nofo ʻi he tukuhauʻanga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
10¶ Pea kuo nofo ʻa Sisu ʻi he fale ke kai, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻoe tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, ʻonau nonofo mo ia mo ʻene kau ākonga.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
11Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, pea nau pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e hā ʻoku kai fakataha ai homou ʻEiki mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
12Pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, ka ki he mahaki.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
13Ka mou ʻalu ʻo kumi ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lea ni , ‘ʻOku ou loto ki he angaʻofa, kae ʻikai ki he feilaulau:’ he naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ki he fakatomala.”
14Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?
14¶ Pea toki haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mau faʻa ʻaukai ai mo e kau Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga?”
15And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.
15Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE faʻa tangi ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻoku kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
16And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.
16ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa, he ko ia ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki ʻoku mafaufau ai ʻae kofu, pea ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
17Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.
17ʻOku ʻikai foki ʻutu ʻe he kakai ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina motuʻa: ka pehē, ʻe mahaehae ʻae hina, pea tafe kituʻa ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina: ka ʻoku nau ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou, pea tolonga ai pe fakatouʻosi.”
18And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
18¶ Pea lolotonga ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kinautolu, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae pule ʻe taha, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻofefine kuo mate ni: ka ke haʻu ʻo hilifaki ho nima kiate ia, pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
19And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.
19Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sisu, pea mo ʻene kau ākonga ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
20And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.
20¶ Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe mahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi he ʻau ʻae toto, naʻe haʻu ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu:
21For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.
21He naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, “Kapau te u faʻa ala ki hono kofu pe, te u moʻui ai.”
22But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
22Pea tafoki ki mui ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie; kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.” Pea fakamoʻui ʻae fefine talu mei he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
23And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,
23Pea kuo hū ʻa Sisu ki he fale ʻoe pule, ʻo mamata ki he kau ifi fangufangu, mo e kakai ʻoku tangilāulau,
24He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
24pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tutuku: he ʻoku ʻikai mate ʻae taʻahine, ka ʻoku mohe.” Pea naʻa nau kata manukiʻi ia.
25And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.
25Pea kuo tuku atu ʻae kakai, pea hū ange ia, pea puke ʻe ia hono nima, pea tuʻu hake ʻae taʻahine.
26And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.
26Pea mafola atu hono ongoongo ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
27And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.
27¶ Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Sisu mei ai, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae ongo tangata kui, ʻo na tangi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻAlo ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
28And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
28Pea kuo hū ia ki he fale, pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae ongo tangata kui: pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “ʻOku mo tui ʻoku ou mafai ʻa eni?” Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
29Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.
29Pea ala ia ki hona mata, mo ne pehē, “Ke hoko kiate kimoua ʻo hangē ko hoʻomo tui.”
30And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.
30Pea ʻā ai hona mata; pea fekau mālohi ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.”
31But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.
31Ka kuo na ō, pea na ongoongo atu ia ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
32And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.
32¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu, vakai, ʻoku nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata noa ʻoku ʻulusino ai ʻae tēvolo.
33And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.
33Pea kuo kapusi atu ʻae tēvolo, pea lea ai ʻae noa: pea ofo ʻae kakai, ʻonau pehē, “ Talu mei muʻa naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ʻi ʻIsileli ha meʻa pehē.”
34But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.
34Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi, “ʻOku kapusi ʻe ia ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
35And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.
35Pea naʻe fononga fano ʻa Sisu ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē mo e potu kakai, ʻo akonaki ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga, pea fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kotoa pē mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē ʻoe kakai.
36And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
36¶ Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ki he kakai, naʻe ʻofa mamahi ia kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻa nau māfasia pea tukuhāusia, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi taʻehanautauhi.
37Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.
37Pea toki pehē ai ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi ʻae taʻu, ka ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau ngāue;
38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.
38Ko ia mou lotu ki he ʻEiki ʻoe taʻu, koeʻuhi ke ne fekau atu ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene taʻu.”
