Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tala kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume.
1And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.
2Pea naʻe mahaki, ʻo mei mate ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa lahi ai ia.
2And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.
3Pea kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea ne fekau ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai Siu, ke fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne haʻu ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
3And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
4Pea kuo nau omi kia Sisu, pea nau kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia te ke fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni:
4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
5He ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hotau kakai, pea ko ia ia ne langa ʻae falelotu moʻomautolu.”
5For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
6Pea ʻalu ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu. Pea kuo hoko ia ʻo vāofi mo e fale, pea fekau ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻa hono kāinga, ke lea ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoua naʻa ke ongosia ange koe: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻaonga ke ke hū ki hoku fale:
6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7Pea naʻe ʻikai te u mahalo ʻoku taau mo au ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe: ka ke fai haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.
7For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8He ko au ko e tangata puleʻia foki, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai ia .
8For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
9Pea ofo ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai naʻe muimui ʻiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē ni hono lahi.”
9Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.
10Pea liu atu ki he fale ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau, ʻonau ʻilo ʻae tamaioʻeiki naʻe mahaki kuo moʻui ia.
10And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.
11¶ Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he kolo naʻe ui ko Neini: pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga tokolahi, mo e fuʻu kakai.
11And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
12Pea kuo ofi ia ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, pea vakai, naʻe fata mai kituaʻā ʻae tangata mate, ko e tama pe taha ia ʻa ʻene faʻē, pea ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻoe kolo.
12And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae ʻEiki, pea manavaʻofa ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua ʻe tangi.”
13Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
14Pea haʻu ia ʻo ala ki he fata: pea tuʻu pe ʻae kau fata. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talavou, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
14And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
15Pea nofo hake ia ʻaia naʻe mate, ʻo kamata lea. Pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē.
15And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16Pea pukea kotoa pē ʻi he manavahē: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuʻu hake ʻae palōfita lahi ʻiate kitautolu;” pea, “Kuo ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua ki hono kakai.”
16And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē ko ia .
17And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.
18¶ Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
18And John’s disciples told him of all these things.
19Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sione kiate ia ʻae toko ua ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinaua kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te mau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
19And John called to him two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
20Pea kuo haʻu ʻae ongo tangata kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Kuo fekau ʻakimaua kiate koe ʻe Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?’”
20And when the men were come unto him, they said: John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying: Art thou he that art to come; or look we for another?
21Pea ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi mahaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi, pea mo e kau laumālie kovi; pea naʻa ne fakaʻā ʻae tokolahi naʻe kui.
21(And in that same hour, he cured many of their diseases, and hurts, and evil spirits: and to many that were blind he gave sight.)
22Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo mo mamata mo fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻa ʻae kui, kuo ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, kuo maʻa ʻae kilia, kuo ongo ʻae tuli, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva.
22And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached:
23Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”
23And blessed is he whosoever shall not be scandalized in me.
24¶ Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata fekau ʻa Sione, pea toki lea ia ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
24And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak to the multitudes concerning John. What went ye out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
25Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha tangata kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, he ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu fakalaukau, mo kai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
25But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.
26Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
26But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27Ko ia ia kuo tohi ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, Ke teuteu ʻe ia ho hala kiate koe.’
27This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.”
28For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.
29Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia , mo e kau tānaki tukuhau, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae angatonu ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ʻa Sione.
29And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.
30Ka ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, naʻa nau fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai te nau papitaiso ʻiate ia.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.
31Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u fakatatau ki he hā ʻae kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni? Pea ʻoku nau tatau mo e hā?
31And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
32ʻOku nau tatau mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau feuiʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou meʻe; Kuo mau hiva fakamamahi kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tangi.’
32They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.
33He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo kai mā mo inu uaine; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
34Kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu; ka mou pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala!’
34The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.
35Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”
35And wisdom is justified by all her children.
36¶ Pea naʻe kole kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he Fālesi ke na kai fakataha mo ia. Pea ne hū ki he fale ʻoe Fālesi, ʻo nofo ai ke kai.
36And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
37Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe angahala ʻi he kolo, kuo ʻilo ʻe ia ʻoku nofo mo kai ʻa Sisu ʻi he fale ʻae Fālesi, pea ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo.
37And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;
38Pea tuʻu ia ʻi hono vaʻe mei hono tuʻa , ʻo tangi, pea kamata fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻaki hono loʻimata, ʻo ne holoholo ʻaki ia hono louʻulu, pea ʻuma ki hono vaʻe, ʻo tākai ʻaki ia ʻae lolo.
38And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kole kiate ia, pea lea ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, “Ka ne ko hā palōfita ʻae tangata ni, pehē , kuo ne ʻilo ʻae fefine ni, mo ʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ala kiate ia: he ko e angahala ia.”
39And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
40Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Saimone, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae meʻa te u lea ai kiate koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, folofola mai.”
40And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.
41“Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha pea naʻe totonu ke totongi kiate ia ʻe he toko ua: ko e tenali ʻe nimangeau ʻae tokotaha, kae nimangofulu ʻae tokotaha.
41A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42Pea kuo ʻikai haʻana meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, pea ne fakamolemole leva ʻakinaua ʻosi pe. Ko ia ke ke tala mai, pe ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻe ʻofa lahi kiate ia?”
42And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?
43Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou mahalo ko ia pe naʻe lahi ʻene fakamolemole ki ai.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku totonu hoʻo mahalo.”
43Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.
44Pea tafoki ia ki he fefine, mo ne pehē kia Saimone, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he fefine ni? Naʻaku hū ki ho fale, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻomi ha vai ki hoku vaʻe; ka kuo fufulu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻae loʻimata, mo holoholo ʻaki ia hono louʻulu.
44And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.
45Naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻuma kiate au: ka ko e fefine ni talu ʻeku hū mai mo e ʻikai tuku ʻene ʻuma ki hoku vaʻe.
45Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46Naʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo: ka kuo tākai ʻe he fefine ni ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
46My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.
47Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate koe, Ko ʻene angahala, ʻaia ʻoku lahi, kuo fakamolemole ia; ko ia ʻoku lahi ai ʻene ʻofa: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi hono fakamolemole, ʻoku siʻi ʻene ʻofa.”
47Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.
48Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
48And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau nofo ʻo kai mo ia, naʻa nau kamata pehē ʻi honau loto, Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakamolemole foki ʻae angahala?
49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
50And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.
