Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1“He ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu atu hengihengi pe, ke unga ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
1For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2Pea kuo nau alea mo e kau ngāue ko e ʻaho mo e tenali ʻe taha, naʻa ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki heʻene ngoue vaine.
2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3Pea ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono tolu ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo mamata ki he niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi he potu fakatau.
3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine, pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu.’ Pea nau ʻalu.
4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ʻi hono ono mo hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, ʻo ne toe fai pehē.
5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6Pea ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae niʻihi ʻoku tutuʻu noa ai pe, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mou tutuʻu noa ai pe ʻi heni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa?’
6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘Koeʻuhi kuo ʻikai unga ʻakimautolu ʻe ha taha.’ Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘ʻAlu ʻakimoutolu foki ki he ngoue vaine; pea ko ia ʻoku totonu, te mou maʻu.’
7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8“Pea kuo efiafi, pea pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine ki heʻene tauhi koloa, ‘Ui ʻae kau ngāue, ʻo ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻenau totongi, ʻo fua fai ki he mui mai ʻo aʻu ki he muʻomuʻa mai.’
8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9Pea haʻu ʻakinautolu naʻe unga ʻi hono hongofulu ma taha ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea maʻu taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae tenali.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10Pea ʻi he omi ʻae kau muʻomuʻa mai, naʻa nau ʻamanaki ke maʻu ʻo lahi hake; ka naʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu taki taha foki ʻae tenali.
10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ia, naʻa nau lāunga ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale,
11And when they had received it , they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12ʻO nau pehē, ‘Ko e feituʻulaʻā pe taha kuo ngāue ai ʻae kau muimui mai ni, pea kuo ke fakatatau ʻakinautolu kiate kimautolu kuo katekina ʻae ngāue ʻoe ʻaho, mo hono pupuha.’
12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13Ka naʻe lea ia ki honau tokotaha, ʻo pehēange, ‘Kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u fai hala kiate koe: ʻikai naʻa ta alea ki he tenali?’
13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14Toʻo ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, pea ke ʻalu: te u ʻoatu ki he mui mai ni, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.
14Take that thine is , and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15ʻIkai ʻoku ngofua kiate au ke fai ʻeku faʻiteliha ki he meʻa ʻaʻaku? ʻOku kovi ho mata, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou angalelei?’
15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16Ko ia ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa, pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui: he ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
17Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema, naʻa ne fakaafe ʻae kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻi he hala, ʻo ne tala kiate kinautolu,
17¶ And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
18“Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema; pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi; pea te nau fakamaau ia ke mate;
18Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19pea ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile ke manukiʻi, mo haha, mo tutuki ki he ʻakau: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
19And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him : and the third day he shall rise again.
20Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻae faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti mo ʻene ongo tama, ʻo hū, mo ne holi ki he meʻa ʻe taha meiate ia.
20¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedee’s children with her sons, worshipping him , and desiring a certain thing of him.
21Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā ho loto?” Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuku ke nofo ʻeku ongo tama ni, ko e tokotaha ki ho nima toʻomataʻu, mo e tokotaha ki ho toʻohema, ʻi ho puleʻanga.”
21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
22Ka naʻe leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mou kole. ʻOku mou faʻa fai ke inu ʻi he ipu te u inu ai, pea ke papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai?” Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻOku ma mafai pe.”
22But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
23Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻE inu moʻoni ʻekimoua ʻi heʻeku ipu, pea papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai: ka ko e nofo ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, mo hoku toʻohema, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku ia ke foaki, ka kiate kinautolu pē kuo teuteu ia ki ai ʻe heʻeku Tamai.”
23And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
24Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae toko hongofulu, naʻe tupu ai ʻenau ʻita ki he ongo kāinga.
24And when the ten heard it , they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
25Ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko e houʻeiki ʻoe Senitaile ʻoku nau faʻa puleʻi ʻa kinautolu, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku lahi ʻoku nau faʻa pule mālohi kiate kinautolu.
25But Jesus called them unto him , and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
26Ka ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia ʻoku loto ke lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, ke hoko ia ko homou tauhi.
26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
27pea ko ia ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻe hoko ia ko hoʻomou tamaioʻeiki:
27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
28ʻIo, ʻo hangē ko e Foha ʻoe tangata, naʻe ʻikai haʻu ia ke tauhia ia, ka ke tauhi, pea ke foaki ʻene moʻui ko e huhuʻi ʻoe tokolahi.”
28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi Seliko, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi.
29And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30Pea vakai, naʻe nonofo ʻae ongo tangata kui ʻi he veʻe hala, pea kuo na fanongo ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻa Sisu, naʻa na kalanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
30¶ And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
31Pea lolomi ʻakinaua ʻe he kakai, ke na fakalongo pē: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻena tangi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
31And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
32Pea tuʻu mai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ui kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ho mo loto ke u fai kiate kimoua?”
32And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
33Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā homa mata.”
33They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne tuhuʻi hona mata; pea ʻā ai leva hona mata, ʻo na muimui ʻiate ia.
34So Jesus had compassion on them , and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
