Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it , and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out 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, that he might receive from 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.
3And they caught him , and beat him, and sent him away empty.
3Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo haha, ʻo fekau ke ʻalu taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
4And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
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; beating some, and killing some.
5Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tokotaha kehe, pea nau tāmateʻi ia; pea mo e tokolahi; kae haha ʻae niʻihi, pea tāmateʻi ʻae niʻihi.
6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, 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 those husbandmen said among themselves, 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 they took him, and killed him , and cast him out of the vineyard.
8Pea naʻa nau puke, ʻo tāmateʻi ia, pea lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine.
9What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto 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 ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become 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:
11This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
11Ko e ngāue ʻa Sihova eni, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’”
12And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and 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.
13¶ And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to 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.
14And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
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?
15Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye 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 . And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Cæsar’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 unto them, Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’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.
18¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, which 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, If a man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him , and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto 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 dying left no seed.
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, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
21Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko ua, pea pekia ia, kae ʻikai hano hako; pea mo hono toko tolu foki,
22And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
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, 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 said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither 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 from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are 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 touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto 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 the God of the living: ye 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.”
28¶ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is 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 of all the commandments is , Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
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 all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 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, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none 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 unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
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 to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings 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 when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto 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.
35¶ And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes 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 said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine 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 the common people 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.
38¶ And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
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 the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
39mo e nofoʻanga lelei ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
40Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
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.”
41¶ And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and 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 threw 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 he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which 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 did cast in all that she had, even all her 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.”
