Matthew 13
1 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he fale, ʻo nofo ʻi he matātahi.
2 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ka ka ʻalu ia ki ha vaka, ʻo nofo ai; ka naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki ʻuta.
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Pea lahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻi he lea fakatātā, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi;
4 And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
“Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae[tenga ]niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he potu makamaka, naʻe siʻi ai ʻae kelekele; pea tupu leva ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai matolu ʻae kelekele;
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia.
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Ka naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, pea tupu ai ʻae fua, ko e taki teau ʻae niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻae niʻihi, mo e tolungofulu ʻae niʻihi.”
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Pea haʻu ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā?”
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Koeʻuhi kuo tuku kiate kimoutolu ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ka ʻoku ʻikai tuku kiate kinautolu.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe toe foaki kiate ia, pea te ne maʻu ʻo lahi; ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Ko ia ʻoku ou lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā: koeʻuhi ʻoku nau ʻā, kae ʻikai mamata; pea ʻoku nau fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ʻa ʻIsaia, ʻoku pehē, ‘Te mou fakaongoongo pea fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi; pea te mou siofia ʻo mamata, kae ʻikai ʻiloʻi:
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
He kuo fakaongonoa ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ni, pea kuo tuli honau telinga, pea kuo nau fakamohe honau mata: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mamata honau mata, pea ongoʻi honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻe honau loto, pea liliu ai, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.’
16 But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
“Ka ʻoku monūʻia homou mata, he ʻoku nau mamata: mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau ongoʻi.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them.]
He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tokolahi ʻae palōfita mo e tangata māʻoniʻoni, naʻe holi ke mamata ʻaia ʻoku mou mamata [ai], ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata, pea ke fanongo ʻaia ʻoku mou fanongo[ai], ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo.
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
“Ko ia ke fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he fakatātā ʻoe tangata tūtuuʻi.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
ʻOka fanongo ʻe ha taha ki he folofola ʻoe puleʻanga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae tokotaha angakovi, ʻo faʻao ʻaia naʻe tūtuuʻi ki hono loto. Ko eni ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he veʻe hala.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he [potu ] maka, ko ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea maʻu fiefia leva ia;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai aka ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻoku tolonga siʻi pe ia: he ʻoka hoko ʻae mamahi pe ʻae fakatanga koeʻuhi ko e folofola, ʻoku hinga leva ia.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
Pea ko ia foki naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he ʻakau talatala, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola; ka ko e tokanga ki māmani, mo e fakaheke ʻe he koloa, ʻoku ne fakakāsiaʻi ʻae folofola, pea taʻefua ai ia. (aiōn g165)
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he kelekele lelei, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea tokangaʻi; pea tupu ai hono fua, ʻo taki teau ʻi he niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻi he niʻihi, mo tolungofulu ʻi he niʻihi.”
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki heʻene ngoue:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Pea lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻae kakai, naʻe haʻu hono fili ʻo ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga kovi ʻi he uite, kae ʻalu ia.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Pea kuo tupu hake hono muka, pea kamata fua, pea toki hā ai foki ʻae ʻakau kovi.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Pea haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeiki, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻikai naʻa ke tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki hoʻo ngoue? Pea kuo tupu mei fē ʻae ʻakau kovi?’
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e fili kuo ne fai eni.’ Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, ‘ʻE lelei kiate koe ʻemau ʻalu ʻo taʻaki ia [mei ai]?’
29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai; telia ʻi hoʻomou taʻaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻe mataʻaki ai mo e uite foki.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Tuku ke na tupu fakataha ʻo aʻu ki he ututaʻu: pea ʻi he fai ʻoe ututaʻu te u tala ki he kau tuʻusi, Mou tomuʻa tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻo noʻo ʻū ke tutu ia: kae tānaki ʻae uite ki hoku feleoko.’”
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, ʻaia naʻe tō ʻe ha tangata ʻi heʻene ngoue.
32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
ʻAia ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he tengaʻi [ʻakau ]kotoa pē: ka ʻoka tupu ia, ʻoku lahi taha pe ʻi he faʻahinga ʻakau iiki, pea hoko ia ko e [fuʻu ]ʻakau, ke tuʻu ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Pea lea ʻaki ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha; “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo ʻai ki he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu kotoa pē ia.”
34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki he kakai ʻi he fakatātā; pea naʻe ʻikai lea ia kiate kinautolu ka ʻi he fakatātā pe:
35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē, “Te u faʻai hoku ngutu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; te u fakahā atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fufū talu mei he tupu ʻo māmani.”
36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ʻae kakai, pea hū ia ki he fale: pea haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻoe tenga kovi ʻi he ngoue.”
37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei, ko e Foha ia ʻoe tangata;
38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
Ko e ngoue, ko māmani ia; ko e tenga lelei, ko e fānau ia ʻoe puleʻanga; ka ko e tenga kovi, ko e fānau ia ʻae tokotaha angakovi;
39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
Ko e fili naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ia, ko e tēvolo ia; ko e ututaʻu, ko e ikuʻanga ʻo māmani; pea ko e kau tuʻusi, ko e kau ʻāngelo. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi ʻo tutu ʻi he afi; ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻoe māmani. (aiōn g165)
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
ʻE fekau atu ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻene kau ʻāngelo, pea te nau tānaki mei hono puleʻanga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakakovi, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Pea ʻe laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Pea ʻe toki ulo atu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻenau Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e koloa kuo fufū ʻi ha ngoue; ʻaia ka ʻilo ʻe ha tangata, ʻoku ne fufū ia, pea ʻalu fiefia ai, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngoue ko ia.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata fakatau, ʻoku kumi mataʻitofe lelei:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
ʻAia, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻae mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi, ʻoku ʻalu ia, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ia.
47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kupenga, naʻe ʻaʻau ʻi tahi, pea tau ai [ʻae ngaahi ika ]kehekehe:
48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Pea kuo fonu ia, pea nau taki ki ʻuta, pea nofo ʻo tānaki ʻae lelei ki he ngaahi kato, kae liʻaki ʻae kovi.
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, (aiōn g165)
ʻE pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻo māmani ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻāngelo, ʻo vaheʻi ʻae angahala mei he angatonu, (aiōn g165)
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
ʻO laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi; pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ko e akonaki kotoa pē kuo akonekina ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ʻoku tatau ia mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi mei heʻene koloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa foʻou mo e meʻa motuʻa.”
53 And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ni, pea ʻalu ia mei ai.
54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?
Pea kuo haʻu ia ki hono fonua, naʻa ne akonaki ʻakinautolu ʻi honau falelotu: ko ia ne nau ofo lahi ai, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku mei fē ʻae poto mo e ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻae tangata ni?
55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
ʻIkai ko e foha eni ʻoe tufunga? ʻIkai ʻoku ui ʻene faʻē ko Mele? Mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ko Semisi, mo Sose, mo Saimone, mo Siutasi?
56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?
Mo hono ngaahi tuofefine kotoa pē, ʻikai ʻoku nau ʻiate kitautolu? Pea kuo maʻu mei fē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Pea nau tūkia ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai masiva fakaʻapaʻapa ha palōfita, ka ʻi hono fonua pe, mo hono fale ʻoʻona.”
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fai ai ʻe ia ha mana lahi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui.
