Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
1Pea fua lea ia kiate kinautolu, ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe tō ʻe he tangata ʻae ngoue vaine, pea ne takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā keli ʻae potu tataʻoʻanga uaine, pea langa ʻae fale leʻo, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tangata tauhi ngoue, kae ʻalu ia ki he fonua mamaʻo.
2And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
2Pea hoko hono toʻukai, naʻa ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu mei he kau tauhi ngoue ʻae fua ʻoe ngoue vaine.
3Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
3Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo haha, ʻo fekau ke ʻalu taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
4And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
4Pea toe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha; pea naʻa nau tolongaki ʻaki ia ʻae maka, pea foa hono ʻulu, pea fekau ke ʻalu kuo lahi ʻenau fai kovi kiate ia.
5And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
5Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha kehe, pea nau tāmateʻi ia; pea mo e tokolahi; kae haha ʻae niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻae niʻihi.
6Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
6Pea kuo kei toe kiate ia ʻa hono foha pe taha, ʻaia ko hono ʻofaʻanga, pea ne fekau fakamui foki ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku foha.’
7But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
7Ka naʻe fepehēʻaki ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko; haʻu, ke tau tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻe ʻotautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
8And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
8Pea naʻa nau puke, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, pea lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine.
9What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
9“Ko e hā ʻe fai ai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine? ʻE haʻu ia, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea ʻe tuku ʻae ngoue vaine ki ha kakai kehe.
10And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
10Pea naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻae tohi ni; ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani ʻoe tuliki:
11By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
11Ko e ngāue ʻa Sihova eni, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’”
12And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
12Pea naʻa nau fai ke nau puke ia, ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: ka naʻa nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu: pea nau tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
13And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words.
13¶ Pea naʻa nau fekau kiate ia ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kau Fālesi mo e kau Helotiane, ke nau femioekina ia, ʻi heʻene lea.
14Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar; or shall we not give it?
14Pea kuo nau haʻu, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata; he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni: ʻOku ngofua ke ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?
15Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? bring me a penny that I may see it.
15ʻE lelei ʻemau ʻatu, pe ʻikai?” Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mālualoi, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?” ʻOmi ha tenali ke u mamata ai.
16And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar’s.
16Pea nau ʻomi ia . Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fofonga mo e tohi eni ʻa hai?” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.”
17And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
17Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻAnge kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ʻange ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.” Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻiate ia.
18And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
18¶ Pea toki haʻu ʻae kau Satusi kiate ia, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; pea nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
19Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
19“ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē , ‘Kapau ʻe pekia ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, pea ʻoku ai hono uaifi, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.’
20Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
20Naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea pekia ia ʻoku ʻikai hano hako.
21And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
21Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko ua, pea pekia ia, kae ʻikai hano hako; pea mo hono toko tolu foki,
22And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
22Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu, kae ʻikai ha hako: pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
23Ko ia, ʻi he toetuʻu, ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake, ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo hai ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau uaifi.”
24And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
24Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai ko ia ʻoku mou hē ai, koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou taʻeʻilo ki he tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua?
25For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
25Koeʻuhi, ʻoka nau ka tuʻu hake mei he pekia, ʻoku ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali; ka ʻoku nau tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻi he langi.
26And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
26Pea koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻae pekia, naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsese, ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate ia ʻi he ʻulu ʻakau, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’
27He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.
27ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e ʻOtua ʻoe moʻui: ko ia ʻoku mou hē lahi ai.”
28And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
28¶ Pea ko e tangata tohi ʻe tokotaha, naʻa ne fanongo ki heʻenau fetauʻaki, pea ne ʻilo kuo tali lelei ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu ia ʻo fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e fekau fē ʻoku lahi ʻi he fono kotoa pē?”
29And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
29Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e lahi eni ʻi he ngaahi fekau kotoa pē, ‘Fanongo, ʻe ʻIsileli; Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ko Sihova ʻoku taha pe:
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
30pea ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, pea mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa.’ Ko e lahi eni ʻi he fekau.
31And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
31Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia , ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’ ʻOku ʻikai ha fekau ʻe lahi hake ki he ongo fekau ni.”
32And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
32Pea pehē ʻe he tangata tohi kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu: he ʻoku ai ʻae ʻOtua pe taha; pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha:
33And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
33Pea ko e ʻofa kiate ia ʻaki ʻae loto kotoa, mo e ʻatamai kotoa, mo e laumālie kotoa, pea mo e mālohi kotoa, pea ko e ʻofa ki hono kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko ia, ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi feilaulau tutu kotoa mo e ngaahi hifo kotoa pē.”
34And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
34Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻoku ne lea fakapotopoto mai, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke mamaʻo mo e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.” Pea hili ia, naʻe ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa fehuʻi kiate ia.
35And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David?
35¶ Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē ʻi heʻene kei akonaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻae kau tangata tohi, ‘Ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
36For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
36He naʻe lea foki ʻe Tevita, ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi hoʻo ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
37David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
37Ko ia, ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki;’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?” Pea fanongo fiefia kiate ia ʻae kakai lāuvale.
38And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,
38¶ Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻi heʻene akonaki, “Vakai telia ʻae kau tangata tohi, ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu ʻi he kofu tōtōlofa, mo e fetapa ʻi he ngaahi faianga fakatau,
39And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:
39mo e nofoʻanga lelei ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
40Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.
40ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fakakākā ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lotu fuoloa: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
41And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.
41¶ Pea nofo ʻa Sisu ʻo hangatonu ki he fale tukuʻanga koloa, ʻo ne vakai ki he lī ʻe he kakai ʻenau paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa: pea ko e tokolahi naʻe koloaʻia ne nau lī ki ai ʻae meʻa lahi.
42And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
42Pea haʻu ʻae fefine masiva kuo mate hono husepāniti, ʻone lī ki ai ʻae kihiʻi paʻanga ʻe ua, ʻaia ʻoku tatau mo e kotani ʻe taha.
43And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.
43Pea ne ui ʻene kau ākonga, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e fefine paea ni, kuo ne lī ki ai ʻae meʻa lahi hake ʻiate kinautolu fulipē, kuo nau lī ki he tukuʻanga koloa:
44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
44He naʻa nau lī kotoa pē ki ai mei heʻenau koloa lahi; ka ko ia, ʻi heʻene masiva, kuo ne lī ki ai ʻa ia kotoa pē ne ne maʻu, ʻio, ʻa ʻene moʻui kotoa pē.”
