1Pea kuo ne ui ke haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻa ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mālohi, ke nau kapusi ʻae ngaahi laumālie taʻemaʻa, pea ke nau fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kotoa pē, mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē.
1And calling His twelve disciples to Him, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could drive them out and heal every disease and sickness.
2Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua; Ko e ʻuluaki, ko Saimone, ʻoku ui ko Pita, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua; ko Semisi ko e foha ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua;
2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3Ko Filipe, mo Pātolomiu; ko Tōmasi, mo Mātiu ko e tānaki tukuhau; ko Semisi ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Lepiusi, naʻe ui ko Tatiusi;
3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4Ko Saimone ko e Kēnani, mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻaia ne lavakiʻi ia.
4Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5Ko e toko hongofulu ma toko ua eni naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu ʻi ha hala ʻoe Senitaile, pea ʻoua naʻa mou hū ki ha kolo ʻoe kakai Samēlia:
5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.
6Ka mou ʻalu muʻa ki he fanga sipi hē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
7Pea ka mou ka ʻalu, mou malanga, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.’
7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8Fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki, fakamaʻa ʻae kilia, fokotuʻu ʻae mate, kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo: kuo mou maʻu taʻetotongi, pea ʻoatu taʻetotongi.
8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9ʻOua naʻa tokonaki ki homou noʻo ha koula, pe ha siliva, pe ha kapa.
9Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.
10pe ha kato ki he fononga, pe ha kofutuʻa ʻe ua, pe ha topuvaʻe, pe ha tokotoko: he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu ʻe ia haʻa ne tauhi.
10Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.
11“Pea ko e kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē te mou hū ki ai, mou fehuʻi pe ko hai ʻi ai ʻoku angalelei; pea mou nofo ai kaeʻoua ke mou toki ʻalu.
11Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.
12Pea ka mou ka hū ki he fale, tāpuakiʻi ia.
12As you enter the home, greet its occupants.
13Pea kapau ʻoku lelei ʻae fale, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou tāpuaki: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei, ʻe foki mai hoʻomou tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu.
13If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻakimoutolu, pe fanongo ki hoʻomou lea, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu mei he fale pe ko e kolo ko ia, mou tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei homou vaʻe.
14And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
15ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma mo Komola ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
15Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16¶ “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi: ko ia ke mou poto ʻo hangē ko e ngata, pea angalelei ʻo hangē ko e lupe.
16Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17Kae vakai ki he kakai: he te nau tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he kau fakamaau, pea te nau haha ʻakimoutolu ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu;
17But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18Pea ʻe taki ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe kau pule mo e ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko au, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu mo e Senitaile.
18On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19Pea ka nau ka tuku atu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou feinga pe fēfē pe ko e hā te mou lea ʻaki: koeʻuhi ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻaia te mou lea ʻaki.
19But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.
20He ʻoku ʻikai ko kimoutolu ʻoku lea, ka ko e Laumālie ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku lea ʻiate kimoutolu.
20For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21“Pea ʻe tuku atu ʻe he tangata hono tokoua ki he mate, mo e tamai ʻene tamasiʻi: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ki he mātuʻa, ʻo pule ke mate ʻakinautolu.
21Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
22Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa: ka ko ia ʻe kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe moʻui ia.
22You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
23Pea ka nau ka fakatanga ʻakimoutolu ʻi ha kolo, mou feholaki ki ha kolo kehe; he ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE teʻeki ai te mou ʻosiki ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu, ka kuo hoko mai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24“ʻOku ʻikai lahi hake ʻae ākonga ʻi heʻene akonaki, pe ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻeiki.
24A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25ʻOku lahi ki he ākonga ke na tatau mo ʻene akonaki, pea mo e tamaioʻeiki mo ʻene ʻeiki. Kapau kuo nau ui ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale ko Pelisipupe, ʻikai ʻe lahi hake kiate kinautolu ʻi hono fale?
25It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26Ko ia ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe taʻefakahā; pea fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa.
26So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he poʻuli, mou lea ʻaki ia ʻi he maama: pea ko ia ʻoku mou ongoʻi ʻi he telinga, mou malangaʻaki ia ʻi he tuʻa fale.
27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.
28Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae laumālie: kae manavahē muʻa kiate ia ʻoku mafai ke fakaʻauha ʻae laumālie mo e sino ʻi heli.
28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae hikiʻi manupuna ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe taha? Ka ʻe ʻikai haʻana taha ʻe tō ki he kelekele ka ʻi he loto ʻo hoʻomou Tamai.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē.
30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē, he ʻoku mou mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he fanga hikiʻi manu lahi.
31So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32“Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u fakahā foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.
33Ka ko ia te ne liʻaki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u liʻaki foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34“ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino ki māmani: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino, ka ko e heletā.
34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35He kuo u haʻu ke ‘fakafehiʻa ʻae tangata ki heʻene tamai, mo e taʻahine ki heʻene faʻē, mo e taʻahine ʻi he fono ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.’
35For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36Pea ‘ko e fili ʻoe tangata ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo mo ia ʻi hono fale.’
36A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki he tamai pe ko e faʻē ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki hono foha pe ʻofefine ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
37Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai toʻo hake ʻene ʻakau māfasia ʻo muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39Ko ia ʻoku kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia: ka ko ia ʻoku mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
40¶ “Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻoku ne maʻu au, pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au.
40He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
41Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ha palōfita ʻi he hingoa ʻoe palōfita, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe palōfita; pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he hingoa ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni.
41Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42Pea ko ia te ne foaki ki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ha ipu vai momoko ke inu ai, ʻi he hingoa pe ʻoe ākonga, ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.”
42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
