Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
1Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ʻoe kau Fālesi ke kai mā ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, naʻa nau lamasi ia.
2And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
2Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi hono ʻao ha tangata naʻe fulavai.
3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
3Pea lea ʻa Sisu ki he kau akonaki ʻi he fono mo e kau Fālesi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ngofua ke fakamoʻui ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”
4And they held their peace. And he took him , and healed him, and let him go;
4Pea nau fakalongo pe. Pea ne ʻomi ʻo fakamoʻui ia, pea tukuange ke ʻalu;
5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
5Pea leaange ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu kapau ʻe tō ʻene ʻasi pe ko ʻene pulu ki ha luo, ʻe ʻikai toʻo leva ia mei ai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”
6And they could not answer him again to these things.
6Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tali ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.
7¶ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
7¶ Pea ʻi heʻene vakai kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai , ʻoku nau fili ki he ngaahi potu lelei, pea ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu.
8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
8“ʻOka tala kiate koe ʻe ha taha ke ke ʻalu ki he taʻane, ʻoua naʻa ke nofo hifo ʻi ha potu māʻolunga ʻaupito; telia kuo tala ʻe ia ki ha taha ʻoku lahi ʻiate koe;
9And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
9Pea haʻu ia, ʻaia ne ne tala kiate koe mo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate koe, ‘Fakaʻataʻatā ki he tangata ni;’ pea ke toki mā ai, ʻo ʻalu ki he potu māʻulalo.
10But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
10Ka ʻoka tala kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he potu māʻulalo: koeʻuhi ʻoka haʻu ia naʻe tala kiate koe, te ne pehē kiate koe, ‘Kāinga, ʻalu koe ki ʻolunga:’ pea te ke maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku mou nofo ʻo kai.
11For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
11He ko ia ia ʻoku hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivai ia; pea ko ia ʻoku fakavaivai ia, ʻe hakeakiʻi ia.”
12¶ Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
12¶ Pea pehē ai foki ʻe ia kiate ia ne ne tala kiate ia, “ʻOka ke ka teuteu ʻae kai hoʻatā pe ʻae ʻohomohe, ʻoua naʻa ke ui ki ai ho kaumeʻa, pe ho ngaahi temomo, pe ho kāinga, pe ko e kaungāʻapi koloaʻia, telia naʻa nau toe tala kiate koe, pea totongi ai kiate koe.
13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
13Ka ʻoka ke ka teu ʻae kātoanga, ui ʻae kau masiva, mo e lavea, mo e pipiki, mo e kui:
14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
14ʻE monūʻia ai ʻa koe; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa totongi kiate koe: ka ʻe totongi kiate koe ʻi he toetuʻu ʻoe angatonu.”
15¶ And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
15¶ Pea ko e tokotaha naʻe nofo ʻo kai mo ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE monūʻia ia ʻaia te ne kai mā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
16Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Naʻe te u ʻe he tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻohomohe lahi, ʻo ne tala ia ki he tokolahi:
17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
17Pea hoko ʻae feituʻupō ke kai, pea ne fekau ʻene tamaioʻeiki ke fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai, ‘Haʻu he kuo teuteu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.’
18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
18Pea naʻa nau loto taha kotoa pē ʻo kamata fakafisi. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻuluaki kiate ia, ‘Kuo u fakatau ʻae potu fonua, pea ʻoku ngali ke u ʻalu ʻo vakai ia:’ ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tukuange au.
19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
19Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, ‘Kuo u fakatau ʻae taulua pulu ʻe nima, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu ko hono ʻahiʻahi: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tukuange au.’
20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
20Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, ‘Kuo u mali mo e fefine, pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu ai:’
21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
21Pea liu mai ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo fakahā ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni. Pea tuputāmaki ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻAlu fakavave ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa mo e ngaahi hala siʻi ʻoe kolo, ʻo ʻomi ki heni ʻae masiva, mo e mutu, mo e pipiki, mo e kui.’
22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
22Pea pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻEiki, kuo fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fekau, ka ʻoku kei ʻataʻatā pe.’
23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
23Pea pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻAlu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa mo e ngaahi mangaʻi hala, ʻo fakaafeʻi ʻakinautolu ke haʻu, kae fonu ai hoku fale.
24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
24He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai ko ia naʻe tala ki ai te ne kamata ʻeku ʻohomohe.’”
25¶ And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
25¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae fuʻu kakai, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu,
26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
26“Kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha kiate au, kae ʻikai fehiʻa ki heʻene tamai, mo e faʻē, mo e uaifi, mo e fānau, mo e ngaahi tokoua, mo e ngaahi tuofefine, ʻio, ki heʻene moʻui foki, ʻe ʻikai siʻi hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.
27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
27Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fua ʻene ʻakau māfasia, ʻo muimui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai siʻi hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.
28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it ?
28He Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku te u langa ha fale, kae ʻikai tomuʻa nofo hifo ia ʻo lau hono totongi, pe ʻoku ʻiate ia ke faʻa fakaʻosi ʻaki?
29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it , all that behold it begin to mock him,
29Telia naʻa hili hono ʻai ʻae tuʻunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakaʻosi ia , ʻe kamata manuki kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe mamata ai ,
30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
30ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e tangata eni naʻe kamata fokotuʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakaʻosi.’
31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
31Pe ko e tuʻi fē ʻoku te u tau ki ha tuʻi ʻe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ke tomuʻa nofo hifo, ʻo fakakaukau pe te ne faʻa tauʻi ʻaki ʻae toko mano, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu kiate ia mo e toko ua mano?
32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
32Pea ka ʻikai, ʻoku ne kouna ha talafekau, ʻi he kei mamaʻo ʻae tokotaha, ʻo kole ke na fakalelei.
33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
33Pea ʻoku pehē foki, ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻikai te ne siʻaki ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.
34¶ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
34¶ “ʻOku lelei ʻae māsima: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, ʻe toe fakakona ia mei fē?
35It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
35ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ia ki he kelekele, pe ki he tuʻunga ʻotoʻota; ka ʻoku lī ia kituʻa. Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
