King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻa Sisu ʻi Seliko, ʻo ʻalu ai.
1And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2Pea vakai, ko e tangata ko Sakiasi hono hingoa, ko e matāpule ia ʻi he kau tānaki tukuhau, pea naʻe koloaʻia ia.
2And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3Naʻe holi ia ke mamata pe ko e tangata ʻoku fēfē ʻa Sisu; ka naʻe ʻikai mafai ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, he ko e pukupuku ia.
3And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4Pea naʻe lele muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo kaka ʻi he ʻakau ko e sukamino, ke mamata kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ange ai ia.
4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way .
5Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki he potu, naʻa ne sio hake, ʻo mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Sakiasi, ʻalu hifo ke vave, he te u nofo ʻi ho fale ʻi he ʻaho ni.”
5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6Pea fakavave ia, ʻo ʻalu hifo, ʻo ne tali ia ʻi he fiefia.
6And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7Pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, pea nau lāunga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻalu ia ke nofo mo e tangata angahala.”
7And when they saw it , they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sakiasi, ʻo ne pehē ki he “ʻEiki; ʻEiki, vakai, ʻoku ou foaki hono vaeua ʻo ʻeku koloa ki he masiva; pea kapau ne u maʻu ha meʻa ʻi he lohiakiʻi ha taha, ʻoku ou totongi ʻo liunga fā kiate ia. ”
8And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo hoko ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae fakamoʻui ki he fale ni, koeʻuhi ko e foha foki ia ʻo ʻEpalahame.
9And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10He kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke kumi mo fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo mole.”
10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne toe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā, koeʻuhi kuo ofi ia ki Selūsalema, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau mahalo ʻe hoko leva ʻae puleʻanga, ʻoe ʻOtua.
11And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12Ko ia ne ne pehē ai, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ki he fonua mamaʻo, ke maʻu moʻona ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki liliu mai.
12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13Pea ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ngāueʻaki eni kaeʻoua ke u haʻu.’
13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14Ka naʻe fehiʻa ʻa hono kakai kiate ia, ʻonau kouna ʻae talafekau ke ʻalu, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ʻae tangata ni ke puleʻi ʻakimautolu.’
14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15“Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki fekau ʻe ia ke ui mai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ki ai ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ko e hā kuo maʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene fakatau.
15And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16Pea haʻu ʻae ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu.’
16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei koe;’ ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, maʻu ʻe koe ʻae pule ki he kolo ʻe hongofulu.
17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18Pea haʻu hono toko ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe nima’
18And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19Pea naʻe pehē foki kiate ia, ‘Ke ke puleʻi foki ʻae kolo ʻe nima.’
19And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20Pea haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, vakai, ko hoʻo mina, ʻaia kuo u tauhi, ʻo kofuʻaki ia ʻae holoholo.
20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21He naʻaku manavahē kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faingataʻa koe: ʻoku ke toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi.’
21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Mei ho ngutu ʻoʻou te u fakamaau koe, ʻae tamaioʻeiki angakovi. Naʻa ke ʻilo ko e tangata faingataʻa au, ʻoku ou toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi:
22And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23Ko e hā ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tuku ʻeku paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ia mo hono tupu?’
23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ‘Toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae mina, ʻo atu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’
24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25(Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’)
25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26He ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
26For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27Ka ko kinautolu ni ko hoku ngaahi fili, naʻe ʻikai te nau lelei ke u puleʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻomi ki heni, pea tāmateʻi ʻi hoku ʻao.’”
27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28¶ Pea kuo hili ʻene lea pehē, pea muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
28¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki Petefesi mo Pētani, ki he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ne ne fekau ʻene ongo ākonga ʻe toko ua.
29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30ʻO pehē, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai; pea ʻi hoʻomo hū ki ai te mo ʻilo ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata: vete ia, ʻo taki mai.”
30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you ; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither .
31Pea kapau ʻe ʻeke ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ia?’ Te mo pehē kiate ia , ‘Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.’”
31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him ? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32Pea naʻa na ō ʻakinaua naʻe fekau, ʻo na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ia ne ne fakahā kiate kinaua.
32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33Pea ʻi heʻena vete ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻanautolu ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi?”
33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34Pea na pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.”
34And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35Pea naʻa na taki ia kia Sisu: pea na ʻai hona kofu ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, ʻo na fakaheka ki ai ʻa Sisu.
35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36Pea ʻi heʻenau ō, naʻa nau folahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala.
36And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, ʻi he tahifohifo ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻOlive, pea kamata fiefia mo fakamālō ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē kuo nau mamata ki ai;
37And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38ʻO pehē, “‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova:’ Ke fiemālie ʻi he langi, pea fakamālō fungani lahi ʻi ʻolunga.”
38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39Pea ko e Fālesi niʻihi ʻi he kakai naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, lolomi hoʻo kau ākonga.”
39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fakalongo pē ʻakinautolu ni, ʻe kalanga leva ʻae ngaahi maka.”
40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41¶ Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, pea vakai ia ki he kolo, pea tangi ai,
41¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42ʻo pehē, “Taumaiā naʻa ke ʻilo, ʻio, ʻe koe, ʻi ho ʻaho ko eni, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki hoʻo fiemālie! Ka ko eni kuo fufū ia mei ho mata.
42Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate koe, ʻe tanu puke ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili, ʻo takatakai koe, mo kāpui koe, pea tāpuni ko e mei he potu kotoa pē.
43For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44Pea ʻe holoki hifo ko e ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele, mo hoʻo fānau ʻiate koe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ʻiate koe ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae kuonga ʻo ho ʻaʻahi ʻanga.”
44And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45Pea naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ai;
45And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ko e falelotu:’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ‘ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.’”
46Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ka naʻe holi ke tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai.
47And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā te nau fai: he kuo tokanga lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
48And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
