Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples,
1Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi akonaki ni kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga,
2“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
2“ʻOku mou ʻilo ka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua ʻe hoko ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
3Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the court of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas.
3Pea toki fakataha ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi naʻe ui ko Kaiafasi,
4They took counsel together that they might take Jesus by deceit and kill him.
4ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfē ʻenau puke ia, kae tāmateʻi ia ?
5But they said, “Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people.”
5Ka naʻa nau pehē, “Kae ʻikai ʻi he kātoanga, telia naʻa ai ha maveuveu ʻi he kakai.”
6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
6¶ Pea naʻe ʻi Pētani ʻa Sisu, ʻi he fale ʻo Saimone ko e kilia,
7a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
7Mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ha fefine, naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo mahuʻinga lahi ʻaupito, ʻo ne lilingi ia ki hono fofonga, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻo taumafa.
8But when his disciples saw this, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste?
8Ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau lea ʻita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo maumauʻi ai eni?
9For this ointment might have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
9He naʻe mei fakatau ʻae lolo ni ʻaki ʻae koloa lahi, pea foaki ia ki he masiva.”
10However, knowing this, Jesus said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? She has done a good work for me.
10Pea kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakamamahi ai ki he fefine? He kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue lelei kiate au.
11For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.
11He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu maʻuaipē au.
12For in pouring this ointment on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial.
12Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene lilingi ʻae lolo ni ki hoku sino, kuo ne fai ia ko e teu ki hoku putu.
13Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.”
13Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻe malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei ni, ʻe fakahā ai foki ʻaia kuo fai ʻe he fefine ni, ko hono fakamanatuʻi.”
14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
14¶ Pea toki ʻalu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ha taha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ui ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote,
15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
15ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā te mou ʻomi kiate au, kau lavakiʻi ia kiate kimoutolu?” Pea nau alea mo ia ki he konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu.
16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
16Pea talu mei ai mo ʻene lamasi ia ke tuʻumālie ʻa hono lavakiʻi.
17Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
17¶ Pea naʻe haʻu kia Sisu ʻae kau ākonga ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke loto ke mau teuteu ʻi fē ke ke kai ai ʻi he Lakaatu.”
18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
18Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Mou ō ki he tangata ko ia ʻi he kolo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻae ʻEiki, “Kuo ofi hoku ʻaho, pea te mau kai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi ho fale mo ʻeku kau ākonga.”’”
19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
19Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau ākonga ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu; pea nau teu ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.
20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
20Pea kuo hoko ʻae efiafi, pea nofo ia mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
21Pea ʻi heʻenau kai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe lavakiʻi au ʻe homou tokotaha.”
22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
22Pea naʻa nau mamahi lahi, ʻonau taki taha kamata fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē , “ʻEiki, ko au ia?”
23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
23Pea lea ia ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻokuma ʻai mo au homa nima ki he ipu kai, ko ia ia te ne lavakiʻi au.
24The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
24ʻOku ʻalu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi kiate ia: kae malaʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻaia ʻoku lavakiʻi ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata! Naʻe lelei ki he tangata ko ia ʻoka ne ʻikai fanauʻi ia.”
25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
25Pea toki lea ʻa Siutasi, ʻaia ne lavakiʻi ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, ko au ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
26¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe Sisu ʻae mā, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi, mo tofitofi, pea ʻatu ki he kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Toʻo, ʻo kai; ko eni hoku sino.”
27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
27Pea ne toʻo ʻae ipu inu, ʻo fakafetaʻi, pea ʻoatu kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē, “Mou inu ai kotoa pē:
28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
28He ko hoku toto eni ʻoe fuakava foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi ke fakamolemole ai ʻae angahala ʻae tokolahi.
29But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
29Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ngata heni, ʻe ʻikai te u toe inu ʻi he fua ni ʻoe vaine, kaeʻoua ke hokosia ʻae ʻaho ko ia te u inu foʻou ia mo kimoutolu ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻeku Tamai.”
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
30Pea kuo hili ʻenau hiva, pea nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
31Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
31Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tūkia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he poōni ʻiate au: he kuo tohi, ‘Te u taaʻi ʻae tauhi, pea ʻe movetevete ai ʻae fanga sipi.’
32But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
32Kae hili ʻeku toetuʻu, te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ki Kaleli.”
33But Peter answered him, “Even if all will be made to stumble because of you, I will never be made to stumble.”
33Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe tūkia kotoa pē ʻiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te u tūkia ʻo lauikuonga.
34Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate koe, ʻE teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻae moa ʻi he poōni, ka ʻe liunga tolu hoʻo fakafisi ʻiate au.”
35Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you.” All of the disciples also said likewise.
35Pea talaange ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Kapau te u mate ai mo koe, kae ʻikai te u fakafisiʻi koe.” Pea lea pehē pe foki ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē.
36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”
36¶ Pea toki haʻu ai ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Ketisemani, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau ākonga, “Mou nofo ʻi heni, kau ʻalu ki hena ʻo lotu.”
37He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.
37Pea ne ʻave ʻa Pita mo e foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sepeti, pea kamata mamahiʻia ia mo māfasia lahi.
38Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.”
38Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mamahi lahi ʻaupito, ʻo hangē ka mate, hoku laumālie: mou nofo pe ʻi heni, ke tau leʻo mo au.”
39He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
39Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, ʻo tō fakafoʻohifo, ʻo pehē ʻene lotu, “ʻA ʻeku Tamai, kapau ʻe faʻa fai, pea ʻave ʻae ipu ni ʻiate au: kaeʻoua naʻa faʻiteliha pe au, ka ko koe pe.”
40He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour?
40Pea haʻu ia ki he kau ākonga, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻoku mohe, pea ne pehē kia Pita, “He ʻoku pehē, kuo ʻikai te mou faʻa leʻo mo au ʻi he feituʻu pō ʻe taha?
41Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
41Leʻo mo lotu, telia naʻa lavaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻahiʻahi: ko e moʻoni ʻoku fie fai ʻe he laumālie, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakano.”
42Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.”
42Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ko hono liunga ua, ʻo lotu, ʻo pehē, “ʻA ʻeku Tamai, kapau ʻe ʻikai lelei ke ʻave ʻae ipu ni ʻiate au, ka ʻi heʻeku inumia ia, ke fai pe hoʻo faʻiteliha.”
43He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
43Pea haʻu ia ʻo ne ʻilo ʻoku nau toe mohe: he naʻe māfasia honau mata.
44He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
44Pea tuku ai pe ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae toe ʻalu atu, ʻo lotu ko hono liunga tolu, ʻo ne toe fai pē ʻae lea ko ia.
45Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45Pea toki haʻu ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Maʻu pe hoʻomou mohe ni, pea mālōlō: vakai, kuo ofi ʻae feituʻu pō ʻe lavakiʻi ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kau angahala.
46Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
46Tuʻu hake, ke tau ʻalu: vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ia ʻoku ne lavakiʻi au.”
47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
47¶ Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, ʻiloange, ko Siutasi, ko e taha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe haʻu ia mo e kakai tokolahi, mo e ngaahi heletā, mo e ʻakau, mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai.
48Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
48Pea ko ia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia, naʻa ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fakaʻilonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ʻilonga ʻaia te u ʻuma ki ai, ko ia ia: puke ia ke maʻu.”
49Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
49Pea haʻu leva ia kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Lāpai, siʻotoʻofa:” pea ʻuma kiate ia.
50Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
50Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kāinga, ko e hā kuo ke haʻu ai?” Pea toki haʻu ʻakinautolu, ʻo ala honau nima kia Sisu, ʻo puke ia.
51Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
51Pea vakai, ko e taha ʻonautolu naʻe ʻia Sisu, naʻe ʻai hono nima ki heʻene heletā ʻo toho, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, pea motuhi hono telinga.
52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
52Pea toki pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Toe ʻai hoʻo heletā ki hono ʻaiʻanga: he ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toʻo heletā te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā.
53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
53ʻOku ke mahalo ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa lotu ni ki heʻeku Tamai, pea te ne tuku leva ni kiate au ʻae kau ʻāngelo ke lahi ʻi he lisione ʻe hongofulu ma ua?
54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
54Kae fakamoʻoni fēfē ʻae ngaahi tohi, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ai ʻe pehē ni pe?”
55In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
55ʻI he feituʻu pō ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Sisu ki he kakai lahi, “ʻOku mou haʻu mo e ngaahi heletā mo e ʻakau ke puke au, ʻo hangē ko ha kaihaʻa? Naʻaku nofo mo kimoutolu ʻo ako ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou puke au.
56But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
56Ka kuo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻae kau palōfita.” Pea naʻe toki liʻaki ia ʻe he kau ākonga kotoa pē, ka nau feholaki.
57Those who had taken Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
57¶ Pea ko kinautolu naʻe puke ʻa Sisu naʻa nau tataki ia kia Kaiafasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea kātoa ai ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau mātuʻa.
58But Peter followed him from a distance to the court of the high priest, and entered in and sat with the officers, to see the end.
58Ka naʻe muimui mamaʻo atu kiate ia ʻa Pita, ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi, pea hū ki ai, ʻonau nonofo mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ke mamata ki hono ikuʻanga.
59Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death,
59Pea kumi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e mātuʻa, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē, ʻae fakamoʻoni loi kia Sisu, kae tāmateʻi ia;
60and they found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward
60Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha taha : naʻe haʻu ʻae fakamoʻoni loi tokolahi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ha taha . Pea toki ʻomi fakamui ʻae ongo fakamoʻoni loi ʻe toko ua,
61and said, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.’”
61ʻo na pehē, “naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou faʻa fai ke veteki ʻae falelotu lahi ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe langa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.’”
62The high priest stood up and said to him, “Have you no answer? What is this that these testify against you?”
62Pea tuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hao lea ki ai? Ko e hā ia ʻoku nau fakaʻilo ni kiate koe?”
63But Jesus stayed silent. The high priest answered him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God.”
63Ka naʻe longo pē ʻa Sisu. Pea lea ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻOku ou fekau mālohi kiate koe ʻi he ʻOtua moʻui, ke ke fakahā mai kiate kimautolu, pe ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
64Jesus said to him, “You have said so. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”
64Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia pe: ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou mamata ʻa mui ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku nofo ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe māfimafi, pea mo ʻene haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi.”
65Then the high priest tore his clothing, saying, “He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy.
65Pea toki haehae ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi hono kofu, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo lea fie ʻOtua ia; koeʻumaʻā kiate kitautolu ha toe fakamoʻoni? Vakai, kuo mou fanongo ni ki heʻene lea fie ʻOtua.
66What do you think?” They answered, “He is worthy of death!”
66Ko e hā homou loto?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku totonu ke ne mate.”
67Then they spat in his face and beat him with their fists, and some slapped him,
67Pea naʻa nau toki ʻaʻanu ki hono mata, ʻo tukiʻi ia; pea sipiʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi ʻaki honau ʻaofinima,
68saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who hit you?”
68ʻo pehēange, “ʻA koe, Kalaisi, mate mai kiate kimautolu, ko hai ia naʻa ne sipiʻi koe?”
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the court, and a maid came to him, saying, “You were also with Jesus, the Galilean!”
69¶ Pea naʻe nofo ʻituʻa ʻa Pita ʻi he lotoʻā; pea haʻu ʻae fefine kaunanga kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe foki naʻa ke ʻia Sisu ʻo Kaleli.”
70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
70Ka naʻe fakafisi leva ia ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo hoʻo lea.”
71When he had gone out onto the porch, someone else saw him and said to those who were there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
71Pea ʻalu atu ia ki he potu ʻe taha ʻoe fale, pea mamata kiate ia ʻa e kaunanga ʻe taha, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻi ai, “Naʻe ʻia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ʻae tangata ni foki.”
72Again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man.”
72Pea toe fakafisi ia mo fuakava, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻae tangata.”
73After a little while those who stood by came and said to Peter, “Surely you are also one of them, for your speech makes you known.”
73Pea fuoloa siʻi pea haʻu kiate ia ʻakinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ai, ʻonau pehē kia Pita, “Ko e moʻoni ko e tokotaha koe ʻokinautolu; he ʻoku fakaʻilo koe ʻe hoʻo lea.”
74Then he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know the man!” Immediately the rooster crowed.
74Pea toki kamata kape ia mo fuakava, ʻo pehē , “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻae tangata.” Pea naʻe ʻuʻua leva ʻae moa.
75Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Then he went out and wept bitterly.
75Pea manatu ai ʻe Pita ki he lea ʻa Sisu, ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “ʻE teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻae moa, kae tuʻo tolu haʻo fakafisiʻi au.” Pea ʻalu kituaʻā ia, ʻo tangi mamahi.
