Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
1Pea kuo pongipongi hake, pea fealēleaʻaki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai kia Sisu, ke tāmateʻi ia:
2They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
2Pea hili ʻenau haʻi ia, naʻa nau toki ʻave ia kia Ponito Pailato ko e pule.
3Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
3¶ Pea ko Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo fakamaau ia ke mate, naʻe fakatomala ia, ʻo ne toe ʻomi ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa,
4saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
4ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo u fai angahala ʻi heʻeku lavakiʻi ʻae toto māʻoniʻoni.” Pea nau pehē, “Ko e hā ia kiate kimautolu? Vakai pe ʻe koe.”
5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
5Pea lī ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi konga siliva ki lalo ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne ʻalu atu ʻo noʻouʻa ia.
6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
6Pea toʻo mai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae ngaahi konga siliva, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua ke ʻai ia ki he puha koloa, he ko e totongi ia ʻoe toto.”
7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
7Pea naʻa nau fakakaukau, pea toki fakatauʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ke tanu ai ʻae kakai muli.
8Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
8Ko ia naʻe ui ʻae ngoue ko ia, “ko e ngoue ʻoe toto”, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
9Pea fakamoʻoni ai ia ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ko Selemaia, ʻo pehē, “Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu, ko hono totongi ʻo ia naʻe fakatau, ʻaia naʻe fakatatau ia ki ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli;
10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
10ʻo totongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngoue ʻae tufunga ngaohi ipu, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate au.”
11Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”
11Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe pule: pea fehuʻi ʻae pule kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e tuʻi koe ʻoe kakai Siu?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
12When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
12Pea ʻi he talakoviʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa, naʻe longo pe ia.
13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
13Pea toki lea ʻa Pailato kiate ia, “ʻIkai te ke fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ni ʻoku nau fakaʻilo ʻiate koe?”
14He gave him no answer, not even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
14Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito lea ia ki ai; ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ʻaupito ai ʻae pule.
15Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release to the multitude one prisoner whom they desired.
15Pea ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he pule ʻi he kātoanga ko ia, ko e vete ʻo tuku atu ki he kakai ha pōpula ʻe tokotaha, naʻa nau loto ki ai.
16They had then a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
16Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ʻae pōpula ongoongo, naʻe ui ko Palāpasa.
17When therefore they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
17Ko ia ʻi he kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻoku mou loto ke u tuku atu kiate kimoutolu? ʻA Palāpasa, pe ko Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?”
18For he knew that because of envy they had delivered him up.
18He naʻa ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻi he meheka kuo nau tuku atu ai ia.
19While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of him.”
19¶ Pea kuo nofo ia ʻi he nofoʻanga fakamaau, pea fekau ʻe hono uaifi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke kau ʻi ha meʻa ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni na: he naʻaku mamahi lahi he ʻaho ni koeʻuhi ko ia ʻi heʻeku misi.”
20Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
20Ka naʻe ueʻi ʻae kakai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ke nau kole ʻa Palāpasa, kae tāmateʻi ʻa Sisu.
21But the governor answered them, “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” They said, “Barabbas!”
21Pea lea ʻae pule, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻoku mou loto te u ʻoatu kiate kimoutolu?” Pea nau pehē, “Ko Palāpasa.”
22Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do to Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let him be crucified!”
22Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “Pea ko e hā te u fai kia Sisu ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Kalaisi?” Pea nau pehē kotoa pē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
23But the governor said, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they cried out exceedingly, saying, “Let him be crucified!”
23Pea pehē ʻe he pule, “He ko e hā, ko e hā ha kovi kuo ne fai?” Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻenau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
24So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”
24¶ Pea ʻi he ʻilo ʻe Pailato ʻoku ʻikai siʻi felave ʻene lea, kae tupu pe ʻae maveuveu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae vai, ʻo fanofano hono nima ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou maʻa au ʻi he toto ʻoe tangata angatonu ni: mou vakai ki ai .”
25All the people answered, “May his blood be on us and on our children!”
25Pea lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Ke ʻiate kimautolu mo ʻemau fānau hono toto.”
26Then he released Barabbas to them, but Jesus he flogged and delivered to be crucified.
26¶ Pea toki tukuange ai ʻe ia ʻa Palāpasa kiate kinautolu; pea hili ʻene kauʻimaea ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tukuange ia ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
27Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium, and gathered the whole garrison together against him.
27Pea toki ʻave ʻa Sisu ʻe he kau tau ʻoe pule ki he fale lahi, pea fakataha kiate ia ʻae kautau kotoa.
28They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
28Pea nau toʻo hono kofu, ʻo ʻai kiate ia ʻae pulupulu kulaʻahoʻaho.
29They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
29¶ Pea hili ʻenau lalanga ʻae tatā ʻaki ʻae ʻakau talatala, naʻa nau ʻai ia ki hono fofonga, mo e vaʻa kaho ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu: pea nau tūʻulutui ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo manukiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Siʻotoʻofa, Tuʻi ʻoe kakai, Siu!”
30They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.
30Pea nau ʻaʻanu kiate ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae vaʻa kaho, ʻo taaʻi ʻaki hono fofonga.
31When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him, and put his clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.
31Pea hili ʻenau manukiʻi ia, naʻa nau toʻo ʻae pulupulu meiate ia, kae toe ʻai hono kofu ʻoʻona kiate ia, ʻo taki atu ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.
32As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.
32Pea ʻi heʻenau hū kituaʻā, naʻa nau ʻilo ai ʻae tangata Sailine, ko Saimone hono hingoa: pea nau puleʻi ia ke ne fua hono ʻakau.
33When they came to a place called “Golgotha”, that is to say, “The place of a skull,”
33¶ Pea kuo nau hoko ki he potu naʻe ui ko Kolokota, ko hono ʻuhinga, “ko e potu ʻoe ʻulupoko.”
34they gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.
34Naʻa nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae vai mahi kuo huʻi ʻaki ʻae ʻahu ke ne inu: pea naʻa ne kamata ia , kae ʻikai te ne inu.
35When they had crucified him, they divided his clothing among them, casting lots,
35Pea naʻa nau tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, pea nau vahevahe hono ngaahi kofu ʻi he talotalo: koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, “Naʻa nau tufa hoku ngaahi kofu kiate kinautolu, mo nau talotalo ki hoku kofutuʻa.”
36and they sat and watched him there.
36Pea nau nofo ki lalo, ʻo leʻohi ia;
37They set up over his head the accusation against him written, “THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
37Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi hono fofonga hono talakoviʻi kuo tohi, KO SISU ENI KO E TUʻI ʻOE KAKAI SIU.
38Then there were two robbers crucified with him, one on his right hand and one on the left.
38Pea naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau fakataha mo ia ʻae ongo kaihaʻa ʻe toko ua, ko e taha ki hono nima toʻomataʻu, mo e taha ki hono toʻohema.
39Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads
39¶ Pea naʻe manukiʻi ia ʻekinautolu naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai, mo kalokalo honau ʻulu,
40and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”
40ʻonau pehē, “ʻA koe ʻoku ke fakaʻauha ʻae falelotu lahi, mo toe langa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, fakamoʻui koe. Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻalu hifo mei he ʻakau.”
41Likewise the chief priests also mocking with the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders, said,
41Pea manukiʻi foki ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e mātuʻa, ʻonau pehē,
42“He saved others, but he can’t save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.
42“Naʻa ne fakamoʻui ʻae niʻihi; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui ia. Kapau ko e Tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku lelei ke ʻalu hifo ia mei he ʻakau, pea te tau tui kiate ia.
43He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
43Naʻe falala ia ki he ʻOtua; ʻoku lelei ke ne fakamoʻui ni ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ne ʻofa kiate ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e ʻAlo au ʻoe ʻOtua.’”
44The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.
44Pea ko e ongo kaihaʻa, naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau mo ia, naʻe pehē foki ʻena manukiʻi ia.
45Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.
45Pea naʻe fakapoʻuli ʻae fonua kotoa, mei hono ono ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻo aʻu ki hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā.
46About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
46Pea hokosia hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā, pea tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻIlai, ʻIlai, lama sapakatani?” Ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko hoku ʻOtua, ko hoku ʻOtua, ko e hā kuo ke liʻaki ai au?”
47Some of them who stood there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”
47Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae niʻihi naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ui ʻae tangata ni kia ʻIlaisiā.”
48Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.
48Pea lele leva honau tokotaha, ke toʻo mai ʻae oma, ʻo fakapito ia ʻi he vai mahi, ʻo ne ʻai ia ki he vaʻa kaho, pea ʻohake ke ne inu.
49The rest said, “Let him be. Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
49Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Tuku ai pe, ka tau vakai pe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke fakamoʻui ia.”
50Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up his spirit.
50¶ Pea kuo hili ʻae toe tangi leʻo lahi ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne tuku hake hono laumālie.
51Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.
51Pea vakai, kuo mavaeua leva ʻae puipui ʻoe falelotu lahi, mei he potu ʻi ʻolunga ʻo aʻu ki lalo; pea ngalulu ʻae fonua, pea mafahifahi ʻae ngaahi maka;
52The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;
52Pea matoʻo ʻae ngaahi tanuʻanga; pea tuʻu hake ʻae sino ʻoe kau māʻoniʻoni niʻihi naʻe mohe,
53and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
53ʻO nau haʻu mei honau ngaahi tanuʻanga ʻi he hili ʻene toetuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo tapu, ʻo fakahā ʻakinautolu ki he tokolahi.
54Now the centurion and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were done, were terrified, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
54Pea kuo mamata ʻae ʻeikitau, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ke leʻohi ʻa Sisu, ki he mofuike, mo e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe fai, naʻa nau ilifia lahi, ʻonau pehē, “tā ko e moʻoni ko e ʻalo ʻeni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
55Many women were there watching from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, serving him.
55Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau fefine tokolahi, naʻe tutuʻu mei he mamaʻo ʻo vakai, naʻa nau muimui ʻia Sisu mei Kaleli, ʻonau tauhi ia:
56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
56Ko honau niʻihi ko Mele Makitaline, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Semisi mo Sose, mo e faʻē ʻae fānau ʻa Sepeti.
57When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came.
57Pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, pea haʻu ʻae tangata koloaʻia mei ʻAlematea, ko Siosefa hono hingoa, ko e ākonga foki ia ʻa Sisu:
58This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
58Pea naʻe ʻalu ia kia Pailato ʻo ne kole ʻae sino ʻo Sisu. Pea toki fekau ai ʻe Pailato ke ʻoatu ʻae sino.
59Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
59Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻae sino, naʻa ne fakakoloa ʻaki ia ʻae tupenu mahuʻinga mo maʻa,
60and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed.
60ʻO ne fakatokoto ia ʻi hono fonualoto foʻou, ʻaia naʻa ne tā ʻi he loto maka: pea filifilihi ʻe ia ʻae maka lahi ki he matapā ʻoe fonualoto, pea toki ʻalu ia.
61Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
61Pea naʻe nonofo ai, ʻo hangatonu mai ki he fonualoto, ʻa Mele Makitaline, pea mo e Mele ʻe taha.
62Now on the next day, which was the day after the Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate,
62¶ Pea ʻi he pongipongi, ʻaia naʻe feholoi mo e ʻaho teuteu, naʻe haʻu fakataha kia Pailato ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi,
63saying, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise again.’
63ʻonau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau manatu naʻe lea ʻae kākā na ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ‘Ka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu te u toetuʻu hake.’
64Command therefore that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest perhaps his disciples come at night and steal him away, and tell the people, ‘He is risen from the dead;’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”
64Ko ia ke ke fekau ke leʻohi maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo hoko ki hono ʻaho tolu, telia naʻa haʻu ʻene kau ākonga ʻi he pō, ʻo kaihaʻasi ia, pea nau tala ki he kakai, ‘Kuo toetuʻu ia mei he mate: pea ʻe kovi lahi ai ʻae kākā ki mui ni ʻi he ʻuluaki.’
65Pilate said to them, “You have a guard. Go, make it as secure as you can.”
65Pea pehē ʻe Pailato kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ai hoʻomou kau leʻo: mou ō, ʻo faʻiteliha ki hono ngaohi ke maʻu.”
66So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone.
66Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo ngaohi ke maʻu ʻae fonualoto, ʻo pulusi ʻae maka, pea fakanofo ʻae leʻo.
