King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
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 by 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,
3Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
3“Fanongo; Vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi:
4And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured 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 some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, 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:
6But when the sun was up, 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 other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an 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 unto them, 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, they that were about him with the twelve asked of 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 unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these 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 said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye 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?
14¶ The sower 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; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, 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 are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
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 have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
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 these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
18Pea ko kinautolu eni kuo tūtuuʻi ki he ʻakau talatala; ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola,
19And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
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 which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it , and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an 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.”
21¶ And he said unto them, Is a candle brought 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 manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should 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 unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
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, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
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.”
26¶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
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, he knoweth not how.
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 bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that 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.
29But 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.
30¶ And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison 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 like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be 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:
32But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
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 spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it .
33Pea ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā pehē ʻo lahi, naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau faʻa fanongo.
34But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded 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 the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto 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 when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
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 it was now full.
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, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not 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 he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was 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 unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
40Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou manavasiʻi pehē ai? Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai haʻamou tui?”
41And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
41Pea naʻa nau manavahē lahi ʻaupito, mo nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai ʻae tangata ni, ke talangofua pehē ʻae matangi mo e tahi kiate ia?”
