Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea toki haʻu ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻo Selūsalema, kia Sisu, ʻonau pehē,
1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2“Ko e hā ʻoku liʻaki ai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae kau mātuʻa? He ʻoku ʻikai te nau fanofano honau nima ʻoka nau ka kai mā.”
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou liʻaki ai foki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻomou talatupuʻa?
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4He kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē:’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻe kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ‘Ko ia ʻe pehē ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, “Kuo fakatapui ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou faʻa ʻaonga ai kiate koe,”
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6pea ʻoku ʻikai toe fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻe ʻataʻatā ia .’ Ko ia ʻoku mou fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa.
6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free . Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7ʻAe kau mālualoi! Neʻineʻi lea ʻa ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē,
7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8‘ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau ngutu, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu; ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, ʻo akonaki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata pe.’”
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
10¶ Pea ui ia ki he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo, pea tokanga:
10¶ And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
11ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻuli ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu ki he ngutu; ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he ngutu, ʻoku ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12Pea toki haʻu ai ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe tūkia ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he lea ko ia?”
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
13Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e ʻakau kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai tō ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake ia.
13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14Tuku ai pe ʻakinautolu: ko e kau takimuʻa kui ʻoe kui ʻakinautolu. Pea kapau ʻoku tataki ʻae kui ʻe he kui, ʻe tō fakatouʻosi pe ki he luo.”
14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ni.”
15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
16Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku mou kei taʻeʻilo foki?
16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
17ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he kete, pea toki ʻalu hifo kituʻa?
17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku haʻu mei he loto: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19He ʻoku haʻu mei he loto ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e fakapō, mo e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e kaihaʻa, mo e fakamoʻoni loi, mo e lea kovi:
19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20Ko eni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata: ka ko e kai taʻefanofano nima, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻuliʻi ia ʻae tangata.”
20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
21¶ Pea toki ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Taia mo Saitone.
21¶ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine Kēnani mei he potu ko ia, ʻo tangi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻe ʻEiki, ko e foha ʻo Tevita; ko ʻeku taʻahine ʻoku mamahi lahi ʻi he tēvolo.”
22And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne lea kiate ia. Pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ia ke ʻalu; he ʻoku ne tangi toupili mai kiate kitautolu.”
23But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai fekau au ka ki he fanga sipi he ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
24But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25Pea toki haʻu ia, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, tokoniʻi au.”
25Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, pea lī ki he fanga kulī.”
26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī ʻae momoʻi meʻakai ʻoku ngangana mei he keinangaʻanga ʻa honau ʻeiki.”
27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
28Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE fefine, ʻoku lahi hoʻo tui: ke hoko kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.” Pea moʻui ʻene taʻahine ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
29Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, pea haʻu ia, ʻo ofi ki he tahi ʻo Kaleli; pea ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga, ʻo nofo ai.
29And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
30Pea haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi kiate ia, pea nau ʻomi ʻae pipiki, mo e kui, mo e noa, mo e lavea, mo e tokolahi kehe, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu; pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻakinautolu:
30And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:
31Ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ai ʻae kakai, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo fakalea ʻae noa, pea fakahaohaoa ʻae lavea, pea fakaʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, pea fakaʻā ʻae kui: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
31Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32¶ Pea ui ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu ange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻofa mamahi ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaho tolu ʻenau ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai: pea ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa fekau ke nau ʻalu ʻaukai pe, telia naʻa nau pongia ʻi he hala.”
32¶ Then Jesus called his disciples unto him , and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33Pea lea ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Te tau maʻu mei fē ʻi he toafa ni ʻae mā lahi, ke fakamākona ʻaki ʻae fuʻu kakai pehē ni?”
33And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
34Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fiha hoʻomou foʻi mā?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻOku fitu, mo e fanga kihiʻi ika.”
34And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
35Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki he kelekele.
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu mo e ngaahi ika, pea fai ʻae fakafetaʻi, pea tofitofi ia, ʻo ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea tufaki ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
36And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them , and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, pea mākona ai: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai pea fonu ai ʻae kato ʻe fitu.
37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
38Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko fā afe, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
39Pea fekau ʻe ia ʻae kakai ke nau ʻalu, pea heka vaka ia ʻo folau ki he potu ʻo Makitala.
39And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
