Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
1Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku tutuʻu ʻi heni, ʻe ʻikai te nau kamata ʻae mate, kaeʻoua ke nau mamata ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hoko mai mo e mālohi.”
2After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
2¶ Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ono, pea ʻave ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, ko kinautolu pe, ʻo ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki he moʻunga māʻolunga: pea naʻe liliu ia ʻi honau ʻao.
3His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
3Pea fetapatapaki hono kofu, ʻo mātuʻaki hinehina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tufunga fō tupenu ʻi māmani ʻe faʻa fakahinehina ke pehē.
4Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
4Pea hā ai kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo Mōsese; pea nau alea mo Sisu.
5Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehē kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea tuku ke mau ngaohi ha fale ʻe tolu: ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
6For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
6He naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻoku ne leaʻaki; he naʻa nau ilifia lahi.
7A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
7Pea naʻe fakamaluʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao: pea ongo mai mei he ʻao ʻae leʻo ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni: fanongo kiate ia.”
8Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
8Pea fakafokifā pe, kuo nau fesiosiofaki, pea ʻikai kenau toe ʻilo ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe mo kinautolu.
9As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
9Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo nau mamata ki ai, kaeʻoua ke toetuʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata mei he pekia.
10They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
10Pea naʻa nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae lea ko ia, ʻonau fefehuʻiʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe toetuʻu mei he pekia.”
11They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11¶ Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata tohi, ʻe tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā?”
12He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
12Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea hangē ko ia kuo tohi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe kātaki foki ʻe ia ʻae meʻa lahi, pea manukia ia.”
13But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
13Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo haʻu moʻoni ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea kuo nau fai kiate ia ʻenau faʻiteliha.”
14Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
14¶ Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he kau ākonga, pea ne mamata ki he fuʻu kakai ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu, mo e kau tangata tohi ʻoku kikihi mo kinautolu.
15Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
15Pea kuo mamata leva ʻae kakai fulipē kiate ia, pea nau ofo lahi, ʻonau feleleʻi mo fetapa kiate ia.
16He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
16Pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki he kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakikihi ai mo kinautolu?”
17One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
17Pea lea ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻomi kiate koe hoku foha, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie noa:
18and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
18Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ne puke ai ia, ʻoku ne haʻaki ia; pea koā ia, mo fengaiʻitaki hono nifo, pea ʻoku ne fakaʻaʻau ʻo vaivai: pea ne u lea ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke nau kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.”
19He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
19Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui! ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe tau nonofo? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku kātaki ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
20They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
20Pea nau ʻomi ia kiate ia; pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea haʻaki leva ia ʻe he laumālie; pea tō ia ki he kelekele, mo mokofisi pea Koa hono ngutu .
21He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
21Pea fehuʻi ia ki heʻene tamai, “Kuo fēfē hono fuoloa talu ʻene hoko eni kiate ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talu ʻene tamasiʻi.”
22Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
22Pea kuo liunga lahi ʻae lī ia ki he afi, pea mo e vai, ke tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau te ke faʻa fai ha meʻa, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate kimautolu, ʻo tokoni ʻakimautolu.
23Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
23Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ke faʻa tui, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku tui.”
24Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
24Pea tangi loʻimata leva ʻae tamai ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui; ke ke tokoniʻi au telia ʻeku taʻetui.”
25When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
25Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ʻoku feleleʻi mai ʻae kakai ʻo fakataha, pea ne tautea ʻae laumālie ʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe, ko e laumālie noa mo tuli, ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe, haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe hū ki ai.”
26After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
26Pea tangi ʻae laumālie , ʻo ne haʻaki ia ʻo lahi, pea haʻu kituʻa: pea naʻe tatau ʻae tangata mo ha taha mate; ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe he tokolahi, “Kuo mate ia.”
27But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
27Ka naʻe puke ia ʻe Sisu ʻi hono nima, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; pea ne tuʻu hake.
28When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
28Pea kuo hū ia ki fale, pea fehuʻi fakafufū ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
29He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
29Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai haʻu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ni ʻi ha meʻa, kae ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”
30They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
30¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai, ʻonau ʻalu ʻi Kāleli; pea naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.
31for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
31He naʻe akonakiʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “E tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fakapoongi ia; pea hili hono fakapoongi, ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
32But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
32Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ko ia, pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia.
33He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
33¶ Pea haʻu ia ki Kapaneume: pea fehuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he fale, “Ko e hā ia naʻa mou fakakikihi ai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he hala?”
34But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
34Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pē: he naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻe lahi hake.
35He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
35Pea nofo hifo ia, ʻo ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku holi ha tangata ke muʻomuʻa, ʻe ki mui ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē.”
36He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
36Pea toʻo ʻe ia ha tamasiʻi siʻi ʻo ne tuku ia ki honau haʻohaʻonga: pea kuo fua hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
37“Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
37“Ko ia ia te ne maʻu ha tamasiʻi pehē ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻoku ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ia te ne maʻu au, ʻoku ʻikai ko au pe ʻoku ne maʻu, ka ko ia ne ne fekau au.”
38John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
38¶ Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata ki he tokotaha ʻoku kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi ho huafa, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ia kiate kitautolu: pea naʻa mau taʻofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui kiate kitautolu.”
39But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
39Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne fai ha meʻa mana ʻi hoku huafa, ʻe faʻa lea kovi noa pe kiate au.
40For whoever is not against us is on our side.
40He ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku kau taha ia mo kitautolu.
41For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
41He ko ia ʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ha vai ke inu ʻi hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.
42“Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
42“Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe lelei hake kiate ia ʻo ka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lī ia ki he moana.
43If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,
43Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho nima, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke nima mutu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae nima ʻe ua, kae ʻalu ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi;
44‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
44ʻAia ‘ʻOku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
45If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched—
45Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻeho vaʻe, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke ketu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae vaʻe ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi;
46‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
46ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.
47If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,
47Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho mata, kapeʻi ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua mo e mata pe taha, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae mata ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi ʻo heli;
48‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
48ʻAia ‘ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
49For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
49“He koeʻuhi ʻe fakamāsima taki taha kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ʻe fakamāsima ʻaki ʻae feilaulau kotoa pē ʻae māsima.
50Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
50“ʻOku lelei ʻae māsima: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, temou toe fakakona fēfeeʻi ia? “Maʻu pe ʻae māsima, kiate kimoutolu, pea mou melino pe ʻakimoutolu.”
