Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
1Pea kuo ne ui ke haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻa ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mālohi, ke nau kapusi ʻae ngaahi laumālie taʻemaʻa, pea ke nau fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kotoa pē, mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē.
2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
2Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua; Ko e ʻuluaki, ko Saimone, ʻoku ui ko Pita, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua; ko Semisi ko e foha ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua;
3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
3Ko Filipe, mo Pātolomiu; ko Tōmasi, mo Mātiu ko e tānaki tukuhau; ko Semisi ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Lepiusi, naʻe ui ko Tatiusi;
4Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
4Ko Saimone ko e Kēnani, mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻaia ne lavakiʻi ia.
5Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.
5Ko e toko hongofulu ma toko ua eni naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu ʻi ha hala ʻoe Senitaile, pea ʻoua naʻa mou hū ki ha kolo ʻoe kakai Samēlia:
6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
6Ka mou ʻalu muʻa ki he fanga sipi hē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
7As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
7Pea ka mou ka ʻalu, mou malanga, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.’
8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
8Fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki, fakamaʻa ʻae kilia, fokotuʻu ʻae mate, kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo: kuo mou maʻu taʻetotongi, pea ʻoatu taʻetotongi.
9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
9ʻOua naʻa tokonaki ki homou noʻo ha koula, pe ha siliva, pe ha kapa.
10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
10pe ha kato ki he fononga, pe ha kofutuʻa ʻe ua, pe ha topuvaʻe, pe ha tokotoko: he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu ʻe ia haʻa ne tauhi.
11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.
11“Pea ko e kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē te mou hū ki ai, mou fehuʻi pe ko hai ʻi ai ʻoku angalelei; pea mou nofo ai kaeʻoua ke mou toki ʻalu.
12As you enter into the household, greet it.
12Pea ka mou ka hū ki he fale, tāpuakiʻi ia.
13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.
13Pea kapau ʻoku lelei ʻae fale, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou tāpuaki: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei, ʻe foki mai hoʻomou tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu.
14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
14Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻakimoutolu, pe fanongo ki hoʻomou lea, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu mei he fale pe ko e kolo ko ia, mou tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei homou vaʻe.
15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
15ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma mo Komola ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
16“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
16¶ “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi: ko ia ke mou poto ʻo hangē ko e ngata, pea angalelei ʻo hangē ko e lupe.
17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
17Kae vakai ki he kakai: he te nau tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he kau fakamaau, pea te nau haha ʻakimoutolu ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu;
18Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
18Pea ʻe taki ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe kau pule mo e ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko au, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu mo e Senitaile.
19But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
19Pea ka nau ka tuku atu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou feinga pe fēfē pe ko e hā te mou lea ʻaki: koeʻuhi ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻaia te mou lea ʻaki.
20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
20He ʻoku ʻikai ko kimoutolu ʻoku lea, ka ko e Laumālie ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku lea ʻiate kimoutolu.
21“Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
21“Pea ʻe tuku atu ʻe he tangata hono tokoua ki he mate, mo e tamai ʻene tamasiʻi: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ki he mātuʻa, ʻo pule ke mate ʻakinautolu.
22You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
22Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa: ka ko ia ʻe kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe moʻui ia.
23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
23Pea ka nau ka fakatanga ʻakimoutolu ʻi ha kolo, mou feholaki ki ha kolo kehe; he ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE teʻeki ai te mou ʻosiki ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu, ka kuo hoko mai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
24“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
24“ʻOku ʻikai lahi hake ʻae ākonga ʻi heʻene akonaki, pe ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻeiki.
25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
25ʻOku lahi ki he ākonga ke na tatau mo ʻene akonaki, pea mo e tamaioʻeiki mo ʻene ʻeiki. Kapau kuo nau ui ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale ko Pelisipupe, ʻikai ʻe lahi hake kiate kinautolu ʻi hono fale?
26Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
26Ko ia ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe taʻefakahā; pea fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa.
27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
27“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he poʻuli, mou lea ʻaki ia ʻi he maama: pea ko ia ʻoku mou ongoʻi ʻi he telinga, mou malangaʻaki ia ʻi he tuʻa fale.
28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
28Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae laumālie: kae manavahē muʻa kiate ia ʻoku mafai ke fakaʻauha ʻae laumālie mo e sino ʻi heli.
29“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
29ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae hikiʻi manupuna ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe taha? Ka ʻe ʻikai haʻana taha ʻe tō ki he kelekele ka ʻi he loto ʻo hoʻomou Tamai.
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
30Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē.
31Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
31Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē, he ʻoku mou mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he fanga hikiʻi manu lahi.
32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
32“Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u fakahā foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
33But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
33Ka ko ia te ne liʻaki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u liʻaki foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
34“Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
34“ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino ki māmani: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino, ka ko e heletā.
35For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
35He kuo u haʻu ke ‘fakafehiʻa ʻae tangata ki heʻene tamai, mo e taʻahine ki heʻene faʻē, mo e taʻahine ʻi he fono ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.’
36A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
36Pea ‘ko e fili ʻoe tangata ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo mo ia ʻi hono fale.’
37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
37Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki he tamai pe ko e faʻē ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki hono foha pe ʻofefine ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
38He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
38Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai toʻo hake ʻene ʻakau māfasia ʻo muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
39He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
39Ko ia ʻoku kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia: ka ko ia ʻoku mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
40“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
40¶ “Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻoku ne maʻu au, pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au.
41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
41Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ha palōfita ʻi he hingoa ʻoe palōfita, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe palōfita; pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he hingoa ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni.
42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
42Pea ko ia te ne foaki ki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ha ipu vai momoko ke inu ai, ʻi he hingoa pe ʻoe ākonga, ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.”
