Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
1Pea toe ono ʻae ʻaho pea fai ʻae kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Pētani, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Lasalosi ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia mei he mate.
2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
2Pea naʻa nau te u ai kiate ia ʻae ʻohomohe: pea tauhi ʻe Māʻata: ka ko e tokotaha ʻa Lasalosi ʻokinautolu naʻe nofo mo ia ʻi he keinangaʻanga.
3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
3Pea toʻo ʻe Mele ʻae lolo ko e naʻati moʻoni, ko e lau taha hono mamafa , ko e koloa lahi, ʻo ne tākai ʻaki ʻae vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo holoholo ʻaki hono vaʻe ʻa hono louʻulu: pea naʻe pito ʻae fale ʻi he namu lelei ʻoe lolo.
4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
4Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻo ʻene ākonga, ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone, ʻaia ʻe lavakiʻi ia,
5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
5“Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai fakatau ai ʻae lolo ni ʻaki ʻae tenali ʻe tolungeau, pea foaki ki he masiva?”
6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
6Naʻa ne lea ʻaki eni, ka naʻe ʻikai ko ʻene tokanga ki he masiva; ka koeʻuhi ko e kaihaʻa ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kato, ʻo ne fua ʻaia naʻe tuku ki ai.
7But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
7Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu, “Tuku ai pe ia: kuo tauhi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni ki he ʻaho ʻo hoku tanu.
8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
8He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva; ka ʻoku ʻikai teu ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē au.”
9A large crowd therefore of the Jews learned that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
9Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tokolahi ʻoe kakai Siu ʻoku ʻi ai ia: pea naʻa nau haʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ko Sisu pe, ka koeʻuhi ke nau mamata kia Lasalosi foki, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu mei he mate.
10But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
10¶ Ka naʻe alea ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke nau tāmateʻi ʻa Lasalosi foki;
11because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
11Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻiate ia naʻe mahuʻi ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu, ʻo tui kia Sisu.
12On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12¶ ʻI he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe fanongo ʻae kakai tokolahi kuo haʻu ki he kātoanga, ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema,
13they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
13Naʻa nau toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ponga, ʻonau ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻonau kalanga, “Hosana: ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
14Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
14Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻasi mui, naʻa ne heka ai; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi,
15“Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
15“ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi, ʻoku heka ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi.”
16His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
16Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe heʻene kau ākonga; ka ʻi he hakeakiʻi ʻa Sisu, naʻa nau manatu ai kuo tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia, pea kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia.
17The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
17Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae kakai ko ia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi heʻene ui ʻa Lasalosi mei he tanuʻanga, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia mei he mate.
18For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
18Ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻae kakai kiate ia, he naʻa nau fanongo kuo ne fai ʻae mana ni.
19The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
19Pea ko ia naʻe alea ai ʻae kau Fālesi ʻiate kinautolu, ʻIkai te mou vakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito te mou lavaʻi ha meʻa? “Vakai, kuo muimui ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻiate ia.”
20Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
20¶ Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau Kiliki niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu hake ke hū ʻi he kātoanga.
21Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
21Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Filipe, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Petesaita ʻi Kāleli, ʻonau kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fie mamata kia Sisu.
22Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
22Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Filipe ʻo tala kia ʻAnitelū: pea toe tala kia Sisu ʻe ʻAnitelū mo Filipe.
23Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
23¶ Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho, ke fakaongoongolelei ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
24Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
24Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻoku ʻikai mokulu ʻae tengaʻi uite ki he kelekele pea mate, ʻoku nofo taha ai pe: ka ʻi heʻene mate, ʻoku tupu mei ai ʻae fua lahi.
25He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
25Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki heʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki heʻene moʻui ʻi he māmani, te ne maʻu ia ki he moʻui taʻengata.
26If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
26Kapau ʻoku tauhi au ʻe ha tangata, tuku ke ne muimui ʻiate au; pea ko e potu teu ʻi ai, ʻe ʻi ai foki ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: kapau ʻoku tauhi au ʻe ha tangata, ʻe fakaongoongolelei ia ʻe he Tamai.
27“Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
27“Ko eni kuo mamahi hoku laumālie; pea ko e hā ʻeku lea? Te u pehē , ʻE Tamai, fakamoʻui au mei he ʻaho ni? Ka naʻaku haʻu koeʻuhi ke u hokosia ʻae ʻaho ni.
28Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
28ʻE Tamai, fakaongoongolelei ho huafa.” Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae leʻo ni mei he langi, “Kuo u fakaongoongolelei ia, pea te u toe fakaongoongolelei ia.”
29Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
29Pea ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kakai naʻe tutuʻu ai , mo ongoʻi ia , ko e mana: pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e ʻāngelo ʻoku lea kiate ia.”
30Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
30Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai ongo mai ʻae leʻo ni koeʻuhi ko au, ka koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.
31Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
31Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻoe māmani ʻe kapusi eni ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe māmani kituaʻā,
32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
32Pea kapau ʻe hiki au ki ʻolunga mei he fonua, te u tohoaki ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate au.”
33But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33Ko ʻene lea pehē, ko e fakahā ʻae mateʻanga ko ia ʻe mate ai ia.
34The multitude answered him, “We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’ ? Who is this Son of Man?”
34Pea leaange ʻae kakai kiate ia, “Kuo mau fanongo mei he fono ʻoku nofo ʻae Kalaisi ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻo lau, ʻE hiki hake ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata? ʻE fēfē nai ʻae Foha ko ia ʻoe tangata?
35Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.
35Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE toetoe siʻi pe ʻene ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae maama. ʻEveʻeva lolotonga hoʻomou maʻu ʻae maama telia naʻa tō ʻae poʻuli kiate kimoutolu: he ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia pe ko ʻene ʻalu ki fē.
36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
36ʻI hoʻomou kei maʻu ʻae maama, tui ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke mou hoko ko e fānau ʻae maama.” Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ʻalu, ʻo ne fufū ia ʻiate kinautolu.
37But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they didn’t believe in him,
37¶ He kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi mana lahi ʻi honau ʻao, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate ia:
38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
38Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻaia naʻe pehē, “ʻEiki, ko hai kuo tui ki heʻemau fakaongoongoa? Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?”
39For this cause they couldn’t believe, for Isaiah said again:
39Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te nau faʻa tui, he naʻe toe tala foki ʻe ʻIsaia,
40“He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
40“Kuo fakakui ʻe ia honau mata, ʻo fakafefeka honau loto; ke ʻoua naʻa nau vakai ʻaki honau mata, pe ʻilo ʻaki honau loto, pea liliu, peau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.”
41Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
41Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIsaia, ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono nāunau, pea ne lea kiate ia.
42Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they didn’t confess it, so that they wouldn’t be put out of the synagogue,
42¶ Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kau pule foki; ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kau Fālesi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ia, telia naʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he falelotu:
43for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
43He naʻe lahi ʻenau manako ki he fakamālō ʻae tangata ʻi he fakamālō ʻae ʻOtua.
44Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
44¶ Pea kalanga ʻa Sisu ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai tui kiate au pe , ka kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.
45He who sees me sees him who sent me.
45Pea ko ia ʻoku ne mamata kiate au, ʻoku ne mamata kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.
46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
46Kuo u haʻu au ko e maama ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻe tui kiate au ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ia ʻi he poʻuli.
47If anyone listens to my sayings and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
47Pea kapau ʻoku fanongo ha tangata ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, kae ʻikai tui, ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaauʻi ia: he naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke fakamaauʻi ʻa māmani, ka ke fakamoʻui ʻa māmani.
48He who rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
48Ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki au ʻo ʻikai maʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaauʻi ia: ko e lea kuo u lea ʻaki, ko ia te ne fakamaauʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
49For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
49He naʻe ʻikai te u lea ʻiate au; ka ko e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au, kuo ne puleʻi au ʻi he meʻa te u fekau, mo ia te u lea ʻaki.
50I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak.”
50Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ko ʻene fekau ko e moʻui taʻengata: ko ia ko e meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki, ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae Tamai kiate au.”
