Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
1Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki Selūsalema, ʻo hoko ki Petefesi, ki he moʻunga ko ʻOlive, naʻe toki fekau ʻe Sisu ʻae ākonga ʻe toko ua,
2Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them , and bring them unto me.
2ʻO ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai, pea te mo ʻilo leva ʻae ʻasi ʻoku noʻotaki, mo hono ʻuhiki: vevete ʻo tataki mai kiate au.
3And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
3Pea kapau ʻe lea ha taha kiate kimoua, te mo pehē, ‘ʻOku na ʻaonga ki he ʻEiki;’ pea te ne tuku mai leva ia.”
4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
4Naʻe fai eni kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē,
5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
5“Mou tala ki he taʻahine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angamalū, ʻo heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ko e fānau ʻae ʻasi.’”
6And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
6Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo ākonga ʻo na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sisu kiate kinaua,
7And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
7ʻo ʻomi ʻae ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki, pea nau ʻai ki ai honau kofu, ʻonau fakaheka, ia ki ai.
8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
8Pea folahi atu ʻe he kakai tokolahi honau kofu ʻi he hala; pea naʻe tutuʻu hifo ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻuluʻuluʻi ʻakau, ʻo falikiliki ʻaki ʻae hala.
9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
9Pea ko e kakai tokolahi naʻe muʻomuʻa mo muimui atu, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he Foha ʻo Tevita: ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova;’ Hosana ʻi ʻolunga.”
10And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
10Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Selūsalema, naʻe ngatū ʻae kolo kotoa, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai eni?”
11And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
11Pea pehē ʻe he kakai, “Ko Sisu eni, ko e palōfita ʻo Nāsaleti ʻi Kaleli.”
12¶ And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
12¶ Pea hū ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fefakatauʻaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne fulihi ʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe kau fetongi paʻanga, mo e nofoʻa ʻonautolu naʻe fakatau lupe,
13And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
13ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ui hoku fale ko e falelotu;’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.”
14And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
14Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia, ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻae kui mo e pipiki; pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
15And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
15Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ki he ngaahi meʻa mana naʻa ne fai, mo e kalanga ʻae tamaiki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he foha ʻo Tevita;” naʻa nau ʻita lahi,
16And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
16ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ongoʻi ʻenau lea?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIo; pea ʻoku teʻeki siʻi ke mou lau, ‘Kuo ke maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhū?’”
17¶ And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
17¶ Pea tuku ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae ʻalu ia mei he kolo ki Pētani; pea mohe ai.
18Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
18Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene liu mai ki he kolo, kuo fiekaia ia.
19And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
19Pea mamata ia ki he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi he hala, pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ai ha meʻa ka ko e lau pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ngata ʻi heni, ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ha fua ʻiate koe ʻo lauikuonga.” Pea mate leva ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki.
20And when the disciples saw it , they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
20Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, pea nau ofo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mate vave ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki!”
21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
21Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻoku mou maʻu ʻae tui, pea ʻoua naʻa fakataʻetaʻetui, ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pe ʻa ia kuo fai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, ka ʻoka mou ka tala ki he moʻunga ni foki, ‘Ke hiki koe, mo lī koe ki he tahi;’ ʻe fai ia.
22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
22Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te mou kole ʻi he lotu, ʻi he tui, te mou maʻu.”
23¶ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
23¶ Pea kuo hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ʻi heʻene kei malanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai naʻa ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
24And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
24Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu foki ki he meʻa ʻe taha, pea kapau te mou tala ia kiate au, te u tala foki kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
25The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
25Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei fē? Mei he langi, pe mei he tangata?” Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kitautolu, ‘Pea ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
26But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
26Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻoku tau manavahē ki he kakai; he ʻoku lau kotoa pē ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
27And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
27Pea nau talaange kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻilo.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
28¶ But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
28¶ “Ka ko e hā homou loto? Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe toko ua hono foha; pea haʻu ia ki hono ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foha, ʻalu ʻo ngāue ʻi heʻeku ngoue vaine he ʻaho ni.’
29He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
29Pea talaange ʻe ia ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai:’ kae hili ia ne ne fakatomala pea ʻalu.
30And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go , sir: and went not.
30Pea haʻu ia ki hono toko ua, ʻo ne lea pehē pe foki. Pea lea ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻEiki, te u ʻalu :’ ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia.
31Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
31Ko hai ia ʻiate kinaua naʻe fai ʻae loto ʻo ʻena tamai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Ko e ʻuluaki.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tomuʻa hoko ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu.
32For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it , repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
32He naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione kiate kimoutolu ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kiate ia: ka naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki: pea hili hoʻomou mamata ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala ai, ke mou tui kiate ia.”
33¶ Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
33¶ “Fanongo ki he fakatātā ʻe taha: Naʻe ai ʻae ʻeiki ʻe taha, naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ʻo keli ʻi ai ʻae tataʻoʻanga uaine, ʻo ne langa ʻae fale leʻo, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tangata tauhi ngoue, kae ʻalu ia ki he fonua mamaʻo:
34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
34Pea kuo ofi hono toʻukai vaine, pea fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu hono ngaahi fua.
35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
35Pea puke ʻe he kau tangata ngoue ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo haha ʻae tokotaha, mo tāmateʻi ʻae tokotaha, pea tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae tokotaha.
36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
36Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki: pea nau fai pehē pe kiate kinautolu.
37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
37Pea fekau fakamui ʻe ia ʻa hono foha kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku foha.’
38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
38Ka kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ki he foha, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē , ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko; haʻu, ke tau tāmateʻi ia, pea tau maʻu hono tofiʻa.’
39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him .
39Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi ia.
40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
40“Pea ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ko e hā te ne fai ki he kau tauhi ngoue ko ia?”
41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
41Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Te ne fakaʻauha fakamamahi ʻae kau tangata angakovi ko ia, pea tuku ʻene ngoue ki he kau tauhi kehe, te nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae fua ʻi hono ngaahi faʻahitaʻu.”
42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
42Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki siʻi te mou lau ʻi he tohi, ‘Ko e maka ko ia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, ko ia ia kuo hoko ko e fungani ʻoe tuliki; ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’
43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
43“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻave ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻoatu ia ki ha kakai ʻe tupu ai hono ngaahi fua.
44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
44Pea ko ia ʻe tō ki he maka ni, ʻe mafesi ai ia: ka ko ia fulipē ʻe tō ia ki ai, te ne momosi ia ke efuefu.”
45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
45Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e Fālesi ki heʻene ngaahi fakatātā, naʻa nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
46But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
46Ka ʻi heʻenau holi ke puke ia, naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai, he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e palōfita ia.”
