King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo toe pehēange kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā;
1And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
2“ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tuʻi ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻi he taʻane ʻa hono foha,
2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3ʻO ne fekau atu ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ke ui ʻakinautolu naʻe tala ki ai ʻae taʻane: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fie haʻu.
3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4Pea toe fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kehe, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai , “Vakai, kuo ʻosi ʻeku teu ʻae kai: kuo tāmateʻi ʻeku fanga pulu mo e fanga manu sino, pea kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: haʻu ki he taʻane.”’
4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
5Ka naʻa nau fakavaʻivaʻinga ʻaki ia , ʻo taki taha ʻalu, ko e taha ki heʻene ngoue, ko e taha ki heʻene meʻa fakatau:
5But they made light of it , and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6Pea puke ʻo ngaohikoviʻi mo tāmateʻi, ʻe he niʻihi, ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them .
7Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea houhau: ʻo ne fekau atu ʻene ngaahi kongakau, ke fakaʻauha ʻae kau fakapō ko ia, pea tutu ʻenau kolo,
7But when the king heard thereof , he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Kuo ʻosi hono teu ʻae kātoanga taʻane, ka ko kinautolu kuo tala ki ai, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga.
8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9Ko ia mou ʻalu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea ko kinautolu te mou ʻilo, fakahā ki ai ʻae taʻane.’
9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
10Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa , ʻo fakakātoa kotoa pē naʻa nau ʻilo, ʻae kovi mo e lelei: pea tokolahi ai ʻae kakai ʻi he taʻane.
10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11¶ “Pea ʻi he haʻu ʻae tuʻi ke mamata ki he kakai, naʻa ne ʻiloʻi ʻae tangata kuo ʻikai ʻi ai ha kofu taʻane.
11¶ And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Kāinga, naʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻo hū mai ki heni ʻoku ʻikai hao kofu taʻane?’ Pea fakalongo pē ia.
12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13Pea toki pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘Haʻi hono vaʻe mo e nima pea ʻave, ʻo lī ia ki he poʻuli ʻi tuaʻā: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.’
13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14“He ʻoku ui ʻae tokolahi, ka ʻoku fili ʻae tokosiʻi.”
14For many are called, but few are chosen.
15¶ Pea toki ʻalu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau femioekina ia ʻi he alea.
15¶ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16Pea nau fekau kiate ia ʻenau kau ākonga mo e kau Helotiane, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke moʻoni koe, pea ʻoku ke ako moʻoni ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga ki ha tangata: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke filifilimānako ki he tangata.
16And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man : for thou regardest not the person of men.
17Ko ia ke ke tala mai kiate kimautolu, Ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku ngofua ke ʻoatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau angakovi, pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kau mālualoi, ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?
18But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19Fakahā mai ʻae paʻanga tukuhau.” Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tenali.
19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e mata eni mo e tohi ʻa hai?”
20And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻA Sisa.” Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻoange kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa; pea ʻoange ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
21They say unto him, Cæsar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
22Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo tuku ia, ka nau ʻalu.
22When they had heard these words , they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
23¶ Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau Sātusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu, ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
23¶ The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, Kapau ʻe mate ha tangata, kae ʻikai haʻane fānau, ʻe fakamaʻu hono tokoua mo hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
25Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu; ko e ʻuluaki naʻe fakamaʻu mo e uaifi, pea mate ia, kuo ʻikai haʻane fānau, pea tuku hono uaifi ki hono tokoua.
25Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
26Pea pehē pe foki hono toko ua, mo hono toko tolu, ʻo hoko ki hono toko fitu.
26Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
27Pea mate fakamui ʻae fefine.
27And last of all the woman died also.
28Pea ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe hoko ia ko e uaifi ʻo hai ʻi he toko fitu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē.”
28Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou hē, ʻi he taʻeʻilo ki he ngaahi tohi, mo e mālohi ʻae ʻOtua.
29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30Koeʻuhi ʻi he toetuʻu ʻe ʻikai te nau mali, pe foaki ke mali, ka ʻe tatau mo e kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he langi.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31Ka koeʻuhi ko e toetuʻu ʻoe mate, ʻoku teʻeki te mou lau ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē,
31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32‘Ko au ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope?’ ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ʻoe mate ʻae ʻOtua, ka ko e moʻui.”
32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki.
33And when the multitude heard this , they were astonished at his doctrine.
34¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi kuo ne fakalongo ʻae kau Sātusi, naʻe fakataha leva ʻakinautolu.
34¶ But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35Pea fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia ʻe honau tokotaha, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehē,
35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question , tempting him, and saying,
36“ʻEiki, ko e fekau fē ʻi he fono ʻoku lahi?”
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho laumālie kotoa, mo hoʻo moʻui kotoa, mo ho loto kotoa.’
37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38Ko e ʻuluaki pea ko e lahi ia ʻoe fekau.
38This is the first and great commandment.
39Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tatau mo ia, Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’
39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40Ko e fekau ni ʻe ua ʻoku tautau ai ʻae fono kotoa mo e kau palōfita.”
40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41¶ Pea ʻi he kei fakataha ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu,
41¶ While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā homou loto ki he Kalaisi? Ko e foha ia ʻo hai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻO Tevita.”
42Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
43Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ai hono ui ia ʻe Tevita ʻi he Laumālie, ‘ʻEiki,’ ʻi heʻene pehē,
43He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe”’?
44The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tevita, ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfeeʻi ia?”
45If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46Pea naʻe ʻikai ha lea ʻe faʻa lea ʻaki ʻe ha tangata kiate ia; talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fehuʻi ʻe ha taha kiate ia.
46And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
