Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1He entered and was passing through Jericho.
1Pea naʻe fononga atu ʻa Sisu ʻi Seliko, ʻo ʻalu ai.
2There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
2Pea vakai, ko e tangata ko Sakiasi hono hingoa, ko e matāpule ia ʻi he kau tānaki tukuhau, pea naʻe koloaʻia ia.
3He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
3Naʻe holi ia ke mamata pe ko e tangata ʻoku fēfē ʻa Sisu; ka naʻe ʻikai mafai ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, he ko e pukupuku ia.
4He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
4Pea naʻe lele muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo kaka ʻi he ʻakau ko e sukamino, ke mamata kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ange ai ia.
5When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
5Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki he potu, naʻa ne sio hake, ʻo mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Sakiasi, ʻalu hifo ke vave, he te u nofo ʻi ho fale ʻi he ʻaho ni.”
6He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
6Pea fakavave ia, ʻo ʻalu hifo, ʻo ne tali ia ʻi he fiefia.
7When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
7Pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, pea nau lāunga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻalu ia ke nofo mo e tangata angahala.”
8Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
8Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sakiasi, ʻo ne pehē ki he “ʻEiki; ʻEiki, vakai, ʻoku ou foaki hono vaeua ʻo ʻeku koloa ki he masiva; pea kapau ne u maʻu ha meʻa ʻi he lohiakiʻi ha taha, ʻoku ou totongi ʻo liunga fā kiate ia. ”
9Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo hoko ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae fakamoʻui ki he fale ni, koeʻuhi ko e foha foki ia ʻo ʻEpalahame.
10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
10He kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke kumi mo fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo mole.”
11As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
11Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne toe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā, koeʻuhi kuo ofi ia ki Selūsalema, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau mahalo ʻe hoko leva ʻae puleʻanga, ʻoe ʻOtua.
12He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
12Ko ia ne ne pehē ai, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ki he fonua mamaʻo, ke maʻu moʻona ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki liliu mai.
13He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
13Pea ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ngāueʻaki eni kaeʻoua ke u haʻu.’
14But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
14Ka naʻe fehiʻa ʻa hono kakai kiate ia, ʻonau kouna ʻae talafekau ke ʻalu, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ʻae tangata ni ke puleʻi ʻakimautolu.’
15“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
15“Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki fekau ʻe ia ke ui mai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ki ai ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ko e hā kuo maʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene fakatau.
16The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
16Pea haʻu ʻae ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu.’
17“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
17Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei koe;’ ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, maʻu ʻe koe ʻae pule ki he kolo ʻe hongofulu.
18“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
18Pea haʻu hono toko ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe nima’
19“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
19Pea naʻe pehē foki kiate ia, ‘Ke ke puleʻi foki ʻae kolo ʻe nima.’
20Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
20Pea haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, vakai, ko hoʻo mina, ʻaia kuo u tauhi, ʻo kofuʻaki ia ʻae holoholo.
21for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
21He naʻaku manavahē kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faingataʻa koe: ʻoku ke toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi.’
22“He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
22Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Mei ho ngutu ʻoʻou te u fakamaau koe, ʻae tamaioʻeiki angakovi. Naʻa ke ʻilo ko e tangata faingataʻa au, ʻoku ou toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi:
23Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
23Ko e hā ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tuku ʻeku paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ia mo hono tupu?’
24He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
24Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ‘Toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae mina, ʻo atu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’
25“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
25(Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’)
26‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
26He ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
27But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
27Ka ko kinautolu ni ko hoku ngaahi fili, naʻe ʻikai te nau lelei ke u puleʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻomi ki heni, pea tāmateʻi ʻi hoku ʻao.’”
28Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
28¶ Pea kuo hili ʻene lea pehē, pea muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
29When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki Petefesi mo Pētani, ki he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ne ne fekau ʻene ongo ākonga ʻe toko ua.
30saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
30ʻO pehē, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai; pea ʻi hoʻomo hū ki ai te mo ʻilo ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata: vete ia, ʻo taki mai.”
31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
31Pea kapau ʻe ʻeke ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ia?’ Te mo pehē kiate ia , ‘Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.’”
32Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
32Pea naʻa na ō ʻakinaua naʻe fekau, ʻo na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ia ne ne fakahā kiate kinaua.
33As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
33Pea ʻi heʻena vete ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻanautolu ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi?”
34They said, “The Lord needs it.”
34Pea na pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.”
35Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
35Pea naʻa na taki ia kia Sisu: pea na ʻai hona kofu ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, ʻo na fakaheka ki ai ʻa Sisu.
36As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
36Pea ʻi heʻenau ō, naʻa nau folahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala.
37As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
37Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, ʻi he tahifohifo ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻOlive, pea kamata fiefia mo fakamālō ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē kuo nau mamata ki ai;
38saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
38ʻO pehē, “‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova:’ Ke fiemālie ʻi he langi, pea fakamālō fungani lahi ʻi ʻolunga.”
39Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
39Pea ko e Fālesi niʻihi ʻi he kakai naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, lolomi hoʻo kau ākonga.”
40He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
40Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fakalongo pē ʻakinautolu ni, ʻe kalanga leva ʻae ngaahi maka.”
41When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
41¶ Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, pea vakai ia ki he kolo, pea tangi ai,
42saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
42ʻo pehē, “Taumaiā naʻa ke ʻilo, ʻio, ʻe koe, ʻi ho ʻaho ko eni, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki hoʻo fiemālie! Ka ko eni kuo fufū ia mei ho mata.
43For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
43Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate koe, ʻe tanu puke ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili, ʻo takatakai koe, mo kāpui koe, pea tāpuni ko e mei he potu kotoa pē.
44and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
44Pea ʻe holoki hifo ko e ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele, mo hoʻo fānau ʻiate koe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ʻiate koe ha maka kuo fokotuʻu ki ha maka; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae kuonga ʻo ho ʻaʻahi ʻanga.”
45He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45Pea naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ai;
46saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
46ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ko e falelotu:’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ‘ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.’”
47He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
47Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ka naʻe holi ke tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai.
48They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
48Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā te nau fai: he kuo tokanga lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
