1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakanofo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae toko fitungofulu kehe, ʻo ne fekau ke nau ō, ʻo tautau toko ua, ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kolo mo e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai.
1Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
2Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi ʻae taʻu, kae tokosiʻi ʻae kau ngāue: ko ia mou kole ai ki he ʻEiki ʻoe taʻu, ke ne fekau atu ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene taʻu.
2Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3Mou ō: pea vakai, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga lami ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi.
3Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4ʻOua naʻa toʻo ha kato paʻanga, pe ha kato kai pe ha topuvaʻe; pea ʻoua ʻe fetapa ki ha taha ʻi he hala.
4Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5Pea ko e fale ko ia te mou hū ki ai, mou tomuʻa lea, ‘Ke ʻi he fale ni ʻae fiemālie.’
5Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
6Pea kapau ʻe ʻi ai ʻae foha ʻoe fiemālie, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou fakafiemālie; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ʻe toe hoko ia kiate kimoutolu.
6If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7Pea mou nofo ʻi he fale ko ia, ʻo kai mo inu ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tenau ʻomi; he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu haʻane tauhi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fehufaki ki he ngaahi fale.
7Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
8Pea ko e kolo ko ia te mou hū ki ai, pea nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa te nau ʻomi kiate kimoutolu.
8Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9Pea fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi ai, pea mou pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Kuo ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
10Ka ko e kolo te mou hū ki ai, pea ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou ō ki hono ngaahi hala, ʻo lea pehē ,
10But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11‘Naʻa mo e efu ʻo hoʻomou kolo, ʻaia ʻoku pikitai kiate kimautolu, ʻoku mau tūtuuʻi ia kiate kimoutolu: ka mou ʻilo pau ʻae meʻa ni, kuo hoko ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
11‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
12Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻa Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
12I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13“ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Petesaita! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitoni ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala, ʻonau nofo mo e tauangaʻa ʻi he efuefu.
13“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14Ka ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitoni ʻae fakamaau, ʻiate kimoutolu.
14But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
15Pea ko koe, Kapaneume, ʻa koe kuo hiki ki he langi, ʻe fakahifo koe ki heli.
15You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades.
16Ko ia ʻoku fanongo kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku fanongo ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ne liʻaki au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki au, ʻoku ne liʻaki ia kuo ne fekau au.”
16Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17¶ Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻae toko fitungofulu ʻi he fiefia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo vaivai ʻae kau tēvolo kiate kimautolu ʻi ho huafa.”
17The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
18Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku mamata ki he hinga ʻa Sētane ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila mei he langi.
18He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19Vakai, ʻoku ou foaki ʻae mālohi kiate kimoutolu ke malaki hifo ʻae ngaahi ngata, mo e sikopio, pea mo e mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe fili: pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ha meʻa ʻe lavea ai ʻakimoutolu.
19Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
20Kae ʻoua naʻa fiefia ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi kuo vaivai ʻae kau laumālie kiate kimoutolu; ka mou fiefia muʻa koeʻuhi kuo tohi homou hingoa ʻi he langi.”
20Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21¶ Naʻe fiefia ʻa Sisu ʻi hono laumālie ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale: ke pehē, ʻE Tamai; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
21In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
22Kuo tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha pe ko hai ʻae ʻAlo, ka ko e Tamai pe ; pe ko hai ʻae Tamai, ka ko e ʻAlo pe , pea mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.”
22Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
23Pea naʻe tafoki ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo lea fufū, ʻo pehē , “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae mata ʻoku mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai:
23Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe holi ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata; pea fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou fanongo ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo ai .”
24for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
25¶ Pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te u fai ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?”
25Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”
26Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo tohi ʻi he fono? ʻOku fēfē haʻo lau?”
26He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
27Pea lea ia, ʻo ne pehēange, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa; pea ki ho kaungāʻapi, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’”
27He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
28Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo ke lea totonu: fai eni, pea te ke moʻui.”
28He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
29Ka ʻi heʻene fie fakatonuhia ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Sisu, “Ko hai hoku kaungāʻapi?”
29But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
30Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema ki Seliko, pea moʻua ia ki he kau kaihaʻa, pea naʻa nau vete ʻiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, mo taaʻi ia, pea nau ʻalu mei ai kuo ne mei mate.
30Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha taulaʻeiki ʻi he hala ko ia; pea mamata ia ki ai, pea ne ʻalu ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
31By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32Pea mo ha Livaite foki, kuo hoko ia ki he potu, pea haʻu ʻo mamata, pea ʻalu ia ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
32In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33Ka naʻe fononga ha tangata Samēlia, pea hoko ia ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea ne manavaʻofa lahi,
33But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34ʻO ne ʻalu ange, ʻo nonoʻo hono lavea, pea lilingi ki ai ʻae lolo mo e uaine, pea ne fakaheka ia ki heʻene manu, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he fale talifononga, ʻo ne tauhi ia.
34came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene ʻalu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae tenali ʻe ua, ʻo ʻatu ki he matāpule, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, ‘Ke ke tauhi ia; pea ko ia kotoa pē te ke toe ange maʻana , te u totongi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka toe haʻu.’
35On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
36ʻOku ke mahalo, Ko hai ʻi he toko tolu ni naʻe kaungāʻapi kiate ia naʻe moʻua ki he kau kaihaʻa?”
36Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
37Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ia ne ne fai ʻofa kiate ia.” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke fai pehē pe.”
37He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
38¶ Pea pehē, kuo nau fononga, pea ne hoko ki he potu kakai ʻe taha, pea ko e fefine ko Māʻata hono hingoa, ne ne maʻu ia ki hono fale.
38As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
39Pea naʻe ai ʻa hono tokoua naʻe ui ko Mele, naʻe nofo foki ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo fanongo ki heʻene lea.
39She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
40Ka kuo femouʻekina ʻa Māʻata ʻi he tauhi lahi, pea ne haʻu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku tokoua ke u ngāue tokotaha pe? Ko ia ke ke fekau ia ke tokoni au.”
40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
41Pea tala ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Māʻata, Māʻata, ʻoku ke femouʻekina mo fetokangaʻaki ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
41Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ʻaonga: pea kuo fili ʻe Mele ʻae meʻa lelei, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toʻo meiate ia.”
42but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
