1Pea ko eni, naʻe ai ha Sāpate, naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue uite; pea toli ʻe heʻene kau ākonga ʻae fua ʻoe uite, ʻo momosi ʻi honau nima mo nau kai.
1One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.
2Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe Fālesi kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”
2But some of the Pharisees asked, “Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
3Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene fiekaia, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia;
3Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne toʻo ʻo kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, pea ʻange foki kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia; ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke kai ai ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe?”
4He entered the house of God, took the consecrated bread and gave it to his companions, and ate what is lawful only for the priests to eat.”
5Mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki foki ia ʻoe Sāpate.”
5Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6¶ Pea ʻi he hoko ki he Sāpate foki ʻe taha, naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu ʻo ako ai: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima toʻomataʻu.
6On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.
7Pea lamasi ia ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, pe te ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke talakoviʻi ai ia.
7Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.
8Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mahalo, pea ne pehē ki he tangata naʻe nima mate, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo tuʻu mai ki loto. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo tuʻu ʻi ai .”
8But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.
9Pea toki pehē atu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu ki he meʻa ʻe taha; Ko e hā ʻoku ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ko e lelei pe ko e kovi! Ko e fakamoʻui pe ko e tāmateʻi?”
9Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
10Pea naʻe vakai folia ʻe ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, “Mafao atu ho nima.” Pea ne fai ia: pea moʻui hono nima ʻo hangē ko hono nima ʻe taha.
10And after looking around at all of them, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so, and it was restored.
11Ka naʻe mātuʻaki lili ʻakinautolu: ʻonau fakakaukau pe ko e hā te nau fai kia Sisu.
11But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12¶ Pea pehē, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki ha moʻunga ke lotu, pea lotu ai pe ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
12In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.
13Pea kuo ʻaho hake, pea ne ui kiate ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga; pea naʻa ne fili ʻiate kinautolu ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻaia foki naʻa ne fakahingoa ko e kau ʻaposetolo;
13When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:
14Ko Saimone, (naʻa ne fakahingoa ko Pita,) mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, mo Semisi, mo Sione, mo Filipe, mo Pātolomiu,
14Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15Mo Mātiu, mo Tōmasi, mo Semisi ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Saimone ʻoku ui ko Selote,
15Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;
16Mo Siutasi ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi, mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻaia foki ko e lavaki.
16Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mo kinautolu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he potu tafangafanga, fakataha mo ʻene kau ākonga, pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito mei Siutea kotoa pē mo Selūsalema, mo e matātahi ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, ke nau fanongo kiate ia, mo moʻui mei honau ngaahi mahaki;
17Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18Pea mo kinautolu naʻe mamahi ʻi he kau laumālie ʻuli: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
18They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19Pea holi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau ala kiate ia: he naʻe ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi, ʻo fakamoʻui kotoa pē.
19The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20¶ Pea tangaki hake ʻe ia hono mata ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku masiva; He ʻoku ʻomoutolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
20Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fiekaia ni: Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamākona ʻakimoutolu. ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tangi ni: He te mou kata.
21Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22“ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoka fehiʻa ʻae kakai kiate kimoutolu, Mo fakamavaheʻi ʻakimoutolu meiate kinautolu , ʻO taukae kiate kimoutolu , Pea lī kituʻa homou hingoa ʻo hangē ko e kovi, Koeʻuhi ko e Foha ʻoe tangata.
22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23Mou fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, Pea hopohopo ʻi he fiefia: Vakai, he ʻoku lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi he langi: He naʻe fai pehē ʻenau ngaahi tamai ki he kau palōfita.
23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24“Kae malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku koloaʻia! He kuo mou maʻu hoʻomou fiemālie.
24But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mākona! He te mou fiekaia. ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku kata ni! He te mou tangi mo tangilāulau.
25Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoka lauʻi lelei ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē! He naʻe fai pehē ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamai ki he kau palōfita kākā.
26Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
27¶ “Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻoku fanongo, ʻofa ki homou ngaahi fili, fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu.
27But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28Tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kapeʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea hūfia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakakoviʻi ʻakimoutolu.
28bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29Pea ko ia ʻoku ne sipiʻi koe ʻi ho kouʻahe ʻe taha, fulihi kiate ia ho kouʻahe ʻe taha; pea mo ia ʻoku ne ʻave ho pulupulu, ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻene ʻave mo ho kofutuʻa.
29If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone takes your cloak, do not withhold your tunic as well.
30Foaki kiate ia fulipē ʻoku kole kiate koe; pea ko ia ʻoku ne ʻave hoʻo koloa ʻoua naʻa toe kole ia .
30Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what is yours, do not demand it back.
31Pea ko ia te mou loto ke fai ʻe he kakai kiate kimoutolu, ko ia pe foki te mou fai kiate kinautolu.
31Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32“He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu pe ʻoku ʻofa mai kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻoku mou maʻu? He ʻoku ʻofa mai ʻae kau angahala kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ange kiate kinautolu.
32If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33Pea kapau ʻoku mou fai lelei kiate kinautolu pe ʻoku fai lelei kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻoku mou maʻu? He ʻoku fai pehē ʻe he kau angahala.
33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.
34Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻatu meʻa kiate kinautolu pe ʻoku mou ʻamanaki ke maʻu mei ai, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi te mou maʻu? He ʻoku ʻatu meʻa ʻae kau angahala ki he kau angahala, ke toe maʻu hono tatau.
34And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35Ka mou ʻofa ki homou ngaahi fili, pea fai lelei, mo ʻatu meʻa, ʻi he taʻeʻamanaki ke toe maʻu; pea ʻe lahi ai hoʻomou totongi pea ʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga: he ʻoku angalelei ia ki he taʻefakafetaʻi pea mo e kovi.
35But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
36Ko ia mou manavaʻofa, ʻo hangē foki ko e manavaʻofa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai.
36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
37“ʻOua ʻe fakamaau, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaauʻi ʻakimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa fakahalaia, pea ʻe ʻikai fakahalaia ʻakimoutolu: mou fakamolemole, pea ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu:
37Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38Foaki, pea ʻe foaki ia kiate kimoutolu; ko e fua lahi, kuo faʻo lolo hifo, ʻo lulu fakataha, pea fonu mahuohua, ʻe ʻatu ki homou fatafata. He ko e fuofua ko ia te mou fua ʻaki, ʻe toe fua ʻaki ia kiate kimoutolu.”
38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu, “ʻE faʻa taki ʻe he kui ʻae kui? ʻIkai te na tō fakatouʻosi ki he luo?”
39Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?
40ʻOku ʻikai lahi hake ʻae ākonga ʻi heʻene akonaki: ka ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku haohaoa ʻe hangē ia ko ʻene akonaki.
40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41“Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻi he mata ʻo ho kāinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata?
41Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42Pea ʻe fēfē haʻo faʻa pehē ki ho kāinga, ‘Kāinga, tuku mai ke u toʻo ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata,’ ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata? Ko e mālualoi koe, tomuʻa lī ʻae fuʻu ʻakau mei ho mata, pea te ke toki ʻilo totonu ke toʻo mai ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei he mata ʻo ho kāinga.
42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
43“He ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻakau lelei ʻe tupu ai ʻae fua kovi; pe ha ʻakau kovi ʻe tupu ai ʻae fua lelei.
43No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44He ʻoku ʻilo ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻi hono fua ʻoʻona. He ʻoku ʻikai toli ʻe he kakai ʻae fiki ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pe ko e fua ʻoe vaine ʻi he talatalaʻāmoa.
44For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
45ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻaia ʻoku lelei mei he koloa lelei ʻi hono loto; pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻaia ʻoku kovi mei he koloa kovi ʻi hono loto: he ʻoku lea ʻa hono ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoe loto.
45The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46¶ “Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou ui ai au, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki,’ kae ʻikai fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tala?
46Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
47Pea ko ia fulipē ʻoku haʻu kiate au, ʻo fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, mo fai ki ai, te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu hono tatau:
47I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
48ʻOku tatau ia mo e tangata naʻe langa ʻae fale, pea keli māʻulalo, ʻo ne ai hono tuʻunga ki he funga maka ; pea ʻi he tupu ʻae vaitafe, pea ʻoho mālohi ʻae vai ki he fale ko ia, naʻe ʻikai ngaue ia; he naʻe fokotuʻu ia ki he maka.
48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49Ka ko ia ʻoku fanongo, kae ʻikai fai ki ai , ʻoku tatau ia mo e tangata naʻe langa ʻae fale ʻi he kelekele taʻehatuʻunga; pea naʻe ʻoho mālohi ʻae vai ki ai, pea holo leva ia; pea ko e maumau ʻoe fale ko ia ko e meʻa lahi.”
49But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
