Matthew 13
1 And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house, was sitting by the sea,
Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he fale, ʻo nofo ʻi he matātahi.
2 and gathered together to Him were many multitudes, so that He having gone into the boat sat down, and all the multitude on the beach stood,
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 spoke to them many things in allegories, saying, “Behold, the 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 in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the birds having come, devoured them,
“Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae[tenga ]niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
5 and others fell on the rocky places where they did not have much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through having no depth 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 the sun having risen they were scorched, and through having no root, they withered,
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
7 and others fell on the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them,
Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia.
8 and others fell on the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.
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 He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
“Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
10 And the disciples having come near, said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in allegories?”
Pea haʻu ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā?”
11 And He answering said to them that, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, and to these it has not been 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 whoever has, it will be given to him, and he will have overabundance, and whoever has not, even that which he has will be taken from him.
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 Because of this, in allegories I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor 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 fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah that says, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will 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 the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they might see with the eyes, and might hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might 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 And blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,
“Ka ʻoku monūʻia homou mata, he ʻoku nau mamata: mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau ongoʻi.
17 for truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see that which you look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which you hear, and they did not hear.
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 You, therefore, hear the allegory of the sower:
“Ko ia ke fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he fakatātā ʻoe tangata tūtuuʻi.
19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding—the evil one comes, and snatches that which has been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the way.
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 And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving 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 and he has no root in himself, but is temporary, and persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word, immediately he is stumbled.
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 And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, chokes the word, and it becomes 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 And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed bears fruit, and makes, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and 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 allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man sowing 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 and while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away,
Pea lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻae kakai, naʻe haʻu hono fili ʻo ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga kovi ʻi he uite, kae ʻalu ia.
26 and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then appeared also the darnel.
Pea kuo tupu hake hono muka, pea kamata fua, pea toki hā ai foki ʻae ʻakau kovi.
27 And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where then does it have the darnel?
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 And he says to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Will you, then, [that] having gone away we may gather it 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 And he said, No, lest—gathering up the darnel—you root up with it the wheat;
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai; telia ʻi hoʻomou taʻaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻe mataʻaki ai mo e uite foki.
30 permit both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat gather up into my storehouse.”
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 allegory He set before them, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, 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 less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the sky come and rest in its branches.”
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 allegory He spoke to them: “The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, until 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 Jesus spoke in allegories to the multitudes, and without an allegory He was not speaking to 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 that was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open in allegories My mouth, I will utter things having been hidden 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 having let away the multitudes, Jesus came into the house, and His disciples came near to Him, saying, “Explain to us the allegory of the darnel 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 And He answering said to them, “He who is sowing 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 and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom, and the darnel are the sons of the evil 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 and the enemy who sowed them is the Devil, and the harvest is [the] full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. (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, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with fire, so will it be in the full end of this age; (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 will send forth His messengers, and they will gather up out of His kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the lawlessness,
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 will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
Pea ʻe laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
43 Then will the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who is having 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 the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found, hid, and from his joy goes, and all, as much as he has, he sells, and buys 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 the heavens is like to a man, a merchant, seeking good pearls,
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata fakatau, ʻoku kumi mataʻitofe lelei:
46 who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, has sold all, as much as 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 the heavens is like to a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered together 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 filled, having drawn up again on the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they cast out,
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 will it be in the full end of the age, the messengers will come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the righteous, (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 will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.”
ʻO laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi; pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
51 Jesus says to them, “Did you understand all these?” They say to Him, “Yes, 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 And He said to them, “Because of this, every scribe having been discipled in regard to the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a householder, who brings 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, when Jesus finished these allegories, He removed from there,
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ni, pea ʻalu ia mei ai.
54 and having come to His own country, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, “From where to this One this wisdom and the 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 this not the carpenter’s Son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers 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? From where, then, to this One all these?”
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 stumbled at Him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except 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 do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fai ai ʻe ia ha mana lahi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui.
