Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1“Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou fai hoʻomou foaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki ai: ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai haʻamou totongi mei hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2“Ko ia ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he mālualoi ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e hala, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻae kakai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
2Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3Ka ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ʻe ho nima toʻohema ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu:
3But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4Koeʻuhi ke lilo hoʻo foaki: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
4That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5¶ “Pea ʻoka ke ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa ke hangē ko e mālualoi: he ʻoku nau manako ke lotu tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e tuliki ʻoe ngaahi hala, koeʻuhi ke mamata ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
5¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka lotu, hū ki hoʻo potu lilo, pea kuo tāpuni ho matapā, lotu ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo; pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7Ka ʻoka mou ka lotu, ʻoua naʻa mou launoa, ʻo hangē ko e hiteni: he ʻoku nau mahalo ʻe fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau lea lahi.
7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tatau mo kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai, ʻi he teʻeki ai te mou kole kiate ia, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou masiva ai.
8Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9Ko ia ke pehē ni hoʻomou lotu: Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa.
9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ho finangalo ʻi māmani, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11Ke foaki mai he ʻaho ni haʻamau meʻakai.
11Give us this day our daily bread.
12Pea fakamolemole ʻemau angahala, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau fakamolemolea ʻakinautolu kuo fai angahala kiate kimautolu.
12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻakimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi, kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi: He ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae pule, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, ʻo taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14“He kapau te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi.
14For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻae kakai, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai hoʻomou angahala.
15But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16¶ “Pea ka mou ka ʻaukai foki, ʻoua naʻa mou fakamatapeko, ʻo hangē ko e kau mālualoi: he ʻoku nau fakakehe honau mata, koeʻuhi ke hā ki he kakai ʻoku nau ʻaukai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
16¶ Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata;
17But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hā hoʻo ʻaukai ki he kakai, ka ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, te ne totongi fakahā kiate koe.
18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19¶ “ʻOua ʻe fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi māmani, ʻaia ʻoku kai ai ʻe he ane mo e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻoku haeʻi ʻe he kau kaihaʻa ʻo kaihaʻasi:
19¶ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20Kae fokotuʻu maʻamoutolu ʻae koloa ʻi he langi, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai kai ai ʻe he ane pe ko e ʻumeʻumea, pea ʻe ʻikai haeʻi ia ʻe ha kaihaʻa ke kaihaʻasi:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21He ko e potu ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻomou koloa, pea ʻe ʻi ai foki mo homou loto.
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22Ko e maama ʻoe sino ko e mata: ko ia kapau ʻoku lelei ho mata, ʻe fonu ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama.
22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23Pea kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata, ʻe fakapoʻuli ho sino kotoa: ko ia kapau kuo fakapoʻuli ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe, ʻe fēfē hono lahi ʻoe fakapoʻuli ko ia!
23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24¶ “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tauhi ʻe ha tangata ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: he te ne fehiʻa ki he tokotaha, kae ʻofa ki he tokotaha; pea te ne kau mo e tokotaha, kae siʻaki ʻae tokotaha. ʻE ʻikai te mou faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻOtua mo e Koloa,
24¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimautolu, ʻOua naʻa mou tokanga ki hoʻomou moʻui, ki ha meʻa te mou kai, pe ha meʻa te mou inu; pe ki homou sino, ʻi ha meʻa te mou ʻai ki ai. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi ʻae moʻui ʻi he meʻakai, mo e sino ʻi he kofu?
25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26Vakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi, pe fetuku ki ha feleoko; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻiate kinautolu?
26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe faʻa fakalōloa siʻi ki heʻene moʻui ʻi heʻene tokanga ki ai?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28“Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou tokanga ai ki he kofu? Tokanga ki he fisiʻi ʻakau ʻoe ngoue, ʻoku feleʻi ʻenau tupu; ʻoku ʻikai te nau ngāue, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau filo:
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻae teunga ʻo Solomone ʻi hono nāunau kotoa pē mo ha taha ʻokinautolu na.
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Pea ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakakofu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mohuku ʻoe ngoue, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai he ʻaho ni, kae lī ki he ngotoʻumu ʻapongipongi, pea ʻe ʻikai lahi hake ʻene fie fakakofuʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31“Ko ia ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e hā te tau kai?’ pe, ‘Ko e hā te tau inu?’ pe, ‘Te tau kofuʻaki ʻae hā?’
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(He ʻoku kumi ʻe he Senitaile ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē:) he ʻoku ʻilo ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi ʻoku mou masiva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33Ka mou fuofua kumi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo ʻene māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe fakalahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou tokanga ki he ʻapongipongi: koeʻuhi ʻe tokanga ʻae ʻapongipongi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoʻona. ʻOku tatau mo e ʻaho ʻa hono kovi.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
