Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
1Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kau Kāleli, ʻakinautolu naʻe hui ʻaki ʻe Pailato honau toto ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau.
2Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
2Pea folofola ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou mahalo naʻe angahala lahi ʻae kau Kāleli ko ia ʻi he kakai Kāleli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa pehē kiate kinautolu?
3I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
3ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.
4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
4Pe ko e toko hongofulu ma toko valu ko ia, naʻe taʻomia ʻi he holo ʻae fale leʻo ʻo Seiloame, pea mate ai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku mou mahalo ko e kau angahala lahi taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai fulipē naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema?
5I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
5ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.”
6He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
6¶ Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki foki ʻae fakatātā ni; “Naʻe tō ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki; pea haʻu ia ʻo kumi fua mei ai, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia .
7He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
7Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tauhi ngoue vaine, ‘Vakai, ko e taʻu ʻe tolu kuo u haʻu ʻo kumi fua ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ni, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia : tā hifo ia; ko e hā ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaonga ai ʻae kelekele?’
8He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
8Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, tuku ai pe ia ʻi he taʻu ni foki, kaeʻoua ke u keli tākai, mo taufetuku ki ai .
9If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
9Heiʻilo ʻe toki fua ia, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ke toki tā hifo ia.’”
10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
10¶ Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
11Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
11Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie fakamahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu, pea naʻe mapelu ia ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke faʻa tuʻu hake ia.
12When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
12Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ui ia , mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, kuo veteki koe mei hoʻo mahaki.”
13He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
13Pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate ia; pea naʻe toki tuʻu totonu leva ia, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
14The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
14Pea lea ʻita ange ʻae pule ʻoe falelotu, koeʻuhi naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sisu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, “ʻOku ono ʻae ʻaho ʻoku totonu ke ngāue ai ʻae kakai: ko ia mou haʻu ai ke mou moʻui, kaeʻoua ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
15Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
15Pea folofola ange ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e mālualoi koe! ʻIkai ʻoku mou taki taha vete ʻene pulu, pe ko ʻene ʻasi, mei hono tuʻunga, ʻo tataki ia ke fakainu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?
16Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
16Pea ʻe ʻikai lelei ke vete ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, mei he haʻi ni, ʻae fefine ni, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻe Sētane, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu ni?”
17As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
17Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ma hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē; kae fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ongoongolelei kotoa pē kuo ne fai.
18He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
18¶ Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku tatau mo e hā ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? Pea te u fakatatau ia ki he hā?
19It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
19ʻOku tatau ia mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata, ʻo lī ki heʻene ngoue, pea tupu ia, ʻo hoko ko e ʻakau lahi; pea nofo ai ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
20Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
20Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakatatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ki he hā?
21It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
21ʻOku tatau ia mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo fufū ʻi he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu ʻaki kotoa pē ia.”
22He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
22¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo mo e potu kakai, ʻo ako, mo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
23One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
23Pea toki pehē ʻe he tokotaha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e tokosiʻi pe te nau moʻui?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
24“Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
24“Fai feinga ke hū ʻi he matapā fāsiʻi: he ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kumi ʻe he tokolahi ke hū ki ai, kae ʻikai te nau mafai.
25When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
25Pea ka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea te mou tutuʻu leva ʻi he matapā ʻituʻa, ʻo tukituki, mo pehē ai , ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu;’ pea ʻe lea ia, ʻo pehē mai kiate kimoutolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē:’
26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
26Pea te mou lea leva, ʻo pehē , ‘Naʻa mau kai mo inu ʻi ho ʻao, pea naʻa ke akonaki ʻi homau ngaahi hala.’
27He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
27Ka ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē; ʻalu ʻiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai angahala.’
28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
28ʻE ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo, ʻoka mou ka mamata kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, mo e kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ka kuo kapusi ʻakimoutolu kituaʻā.
29They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
29Pea te nau haʻu mei he potu hahake mo hihifo, mei he tokelau mo e tonga, mo nau nofo hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
30Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
30Pea vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae ki mui te nau muʻomuʻa; pea ʻoku ai ʻae ki muʻa te nau muimui.”
31On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
31¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke mole ʻi heni: he ʻoku loto ʻa Helota ke tāmateʻi koe.”
32He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
32Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō, ʻo tala ki he fokisi ko ia, ‘Vakai, ko e ʻaho ni mo e ʻapongipongi ʻoku ou kapusi ai ʻae kau tēvolo, mo fai ʻae fakamoʻui, pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu te u haohaoa.’
33Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
33Ka ko e moʻoni teu ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻaho ni, mo e ʻapongipongi, mo e ʻaho ʻoku hoko mo ia : koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ha palōfita ka ʻi Selūsalema pe.
34“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
34“ʻE Selūsalema, Selūsalema, ʻa Koe ʻoku ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau palōfita, mo ke lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinautolu kuo fekau kiate koe, kuo tuʻo fiha ʻeku fie tānaki fakataha hoʻo fānau, ʻo hangē ko e tānaki ʻe he motuʻa moa hono ʻuhiki ʻi hono lalo kapakau, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto ki ai .
35Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
35Vakai, kuo siʻaki homou fale kiate kimoutolu ke lala: pea ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au, kaeʻoua ke mou pehē, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki.’”
