Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship, and sat in the sea; and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side.
1Pea toe kamata akonaki ia ʻi he matātahi: pea kuo kātoa kiate ia ʻae fuʻu kakai, ko ia ne heka ai ia ki he vaka, ʻo nofo ʻi tahi: pea naʻe ʻi ʻuta ʻo ofi ki tahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
2And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in his doctrine:
2Pea ne akonaki ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae meʻa kehekehe ʻi he fakatātā, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene akonaki,
3Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow.
3“Fanongo; Vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi:
4And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
4Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻa e tenga niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā, ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
5And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth.
5Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he potu makamaka, naʻe siʻi ai ʻae kelekele; pea tupu leva ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai matolu ʻae kelekele:
6And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
6Ka ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ai ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
7Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu hake ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia, pea ʻikai ai hano fua.
8And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
8Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, pea tupu hake ʻae fua ʻo lahi; ʻo taki tolungofulu ʻae niʻihi, pea taki onongofulu ʻae niʻihi, pea taki teau ʻae niʻihi.”
9And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoku telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
10And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable.
10Pea kuo tokotaha pe ia, pea ko kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia ki he fakatātā.
11And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:
11Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tuku kiate kimoutolu ke mou ʻilo ʻae meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: ka ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ʻi he fakatātā kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻituʻa:
12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
12Koeʻuhi ‘ʻOku nau ʻā ʻo mamata, kae ʻikai ʻilo; pea ʻoku nau fanongo mo ongo, kae ʻikai tokanga; telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo liliu ai ʻakinautolu, pea fakamolemole ai ʻenau ngaahi hia.’”
13And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this parable? and how shall you know all parables?
13Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻae fakatātā ni? Pea te mou ʻilo fēfē ʻae ngaahi fakatātā kotoa pē?
14He that soweth, soweth the word.
14¶ Ko e tangata tūtuuʻi ʻoku ne tūtuuʻi ʻae folofola.
15And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
15Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he veʻe hala, ʻaia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki ai ʻae folofola; pea kuo nau fanongo, pea haʻu leva ʻa Sētane, ʻo ʻave ʻae folofola naʻe tūtuuʻi ki honau loto.
16And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy.
16Pea ko kinautolu eni foki kuo tūtuuʻi ʻi he potu makaʻia; ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he folofola ʻoku nau maʻu leva ia ʻi he fiefia;
17And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are presently scandalized.
17Ka ʻoku ʻikai ha aka ʻiate kinautolu, ko ia ʻoku nau maʻu ai ia ʻo fuonounou: pea ka tupu ʻae mamahi pe ʻae fakatanga, koeʻuhi ko e folofola, ʻoku hinga leva ʻakinautolu.
18And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they that hear the word,
18Pea ko kinautolu eni kuo tūtuuʻi ki he ʻakau talatala; ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola,
19And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made fruitless.
19Ka ko e tokanga ki māmani, mo e kākā ʻoe koloa, mo e hū ʻae holi lahi ki he ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, ʻoku kāsia ai ʻae folofola, pea taʻefua ai ia.
20And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, and another a hundred.
20Pea ko kinautolu eni kuo tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele lelei; ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola, pea maʻu ia , pea tupu ai ʻae fua, ko e taki tolungofulu ʻae niʻihi, pea taki onongofulu ʻae niʻihi, pea taki teau ʻae niʻihi.”
21And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
21¶ Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻomi koā ha maama ke tuku ʻi he lalo puha fua, pe ʻi lalo mohenga? Kae ʻikai ke fokotuʻu ki he tuʻunga maama?
22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.
22He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻufiʻufi, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa fakalilolilo, ʻe taʻeʻiloa.
23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
23Ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
24And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given to you.
24Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku mou fanongo ki ai: he ko e meʻa fuofua te mou fua ʻaki, ʻe toe fua ʻaki kiate kimoutolu: pea ʻe foaki fakalahi kiate kimoutolu ʻoku tokanga.
25For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken away from him.
25He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe toe foaki kiate ia: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.”
26And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,
26¶ Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku tatau mo e tenga naʻe lī ʻe ha tangata ki he kelekele;
27And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not.
27Pea mohe ia, mo tuʻu hake, ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, pea moʻui ʻae tenga ʻo tupu hake, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ʻoku fēfē.
28For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.
28He ʻoku tupu ʻi he kelekele ʻae fua ʻoʻona pe; ko e ʻuluaki ko e muka, pea hoko mo e fua, pea toki hoko mo e uite kuo motuʻa.
29And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
29Pea ka motuʻa ʻae fua, ʻoku ne ʻai leva ʻae hele tuʻusi, koeʻuhi kuo hoko ʻae ututaʻu.
30And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?
30¶ “Pea pehē ʻe ia, Te tau fakatatau ki he hā ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? Pe ko e hā ha fakatātā te tau fakatatau ia ki ai?
31It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
31ʻOku tatau ia mo e tengaʻi musita, ʻaia ʻoka tūtuuʻi ki he kelekele, ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he ngaahi tenga kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he kelekele:
32And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may dwell under the shadow thereof.
32Ka kuo tūtuuʻi ia, pea tupu hake, ʻo hoko ʻo lahi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻakau iiki kotoa pē, pea tupu ia ʻo vaʻavaʻa lalahi: ko ia ʻoku faʻa nofo ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono malumalu.”
33And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according as they were able to hear.
33Pea ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā pehē ʻo lahi, naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau faʻa fanongo.
34And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he explained all things to his disciples.
34Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne lea kiate kinautolu ka ʻi he fakatātā pe: pea ʻi heʻenau nonofo ko kinautolu pe, naʻa ne fakamatala ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ki heʻene kau ākonga.
35And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass over to the other side.
35Pea kuo efiafi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha.”
36And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in the ship: and there were other ships with him.
36Pea kuo nau fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai, pea nau ʻave ia ʻi heʻene kei ʻi he vaka. Pea naʻe folau mo ia ʻae ngaahi vaka iiki.
37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled.
37Pea naʻe tupu ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi, pea feʻohofi ʻae ngaahi peau ki he vaka, pea ngoto ai.
38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth it not concern thee that we perish?
38Pea naʻa ne ʻi he taumuli ʻoe vaka, ʻo mohe ki he ʻolunga: pea naʻa nau fafangu ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokangaʻi te tau mate?”
39And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
39Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi, mo ne pehē ki he tahi, “Fiemālie, pea ke tokalelei.” Pea naʻe malū ʻae matangi, ʻo mātuʻaki tofukī.
40And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
40Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou manavasiʻi pehē ai? Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai haʻamou tui?”

41Pea naʻa nau manavahē lahi ʻaupito, mo nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai ʻae tangata ni, ke talangofua pehē ʻae matangi mo e tahi kiate ia?”
