< Luke 7 >

1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tala kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume.
2 A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Pea naʻe mahaki, ʻo mei mate ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa lahi ai ia.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant.
Pea kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea ne fekau ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai Siu, ke fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne haʻu ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Pea kuo nau omi kia Sisu, pea nau kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia te ke fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni:
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."
He ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hotau kakai, pea ko ia ia ne langa ʻae falelotu moʻomautolu.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Pea ʻalu ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu. Pea kuo hoko ia ʻo vāofi mo e fale, pea fekau ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻa [hono ]kāinga, ke lea [ʻo pehē ]kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoua naʻa ke ongosia ange koe: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻaonga ke ke hū ki hoku fale:
7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u mahalo ʻoku taau mo au ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe: ka ke fai haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go.' and he goes; and to another, 'Come.' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
He ko au ko e tangata puleʻia foki, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai [ia].
9 When Jesus heard these things, he was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."
Pea ofo ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai naʻe muimui ʻiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē [ni ]hono lahi.”
10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
Pea liu atu ki he fale ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau, ʻonau ʻilo ʻae tamaioʻeiki naʻe mahaki kuo moʻui ia.
11 It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples, along with a large crowd, went with him.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he kolo naʻe ui ko Neini: pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga tokolahi, mo e fuʻu kakai.
12 And when he drew near to the gate of the city, then look, a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.
Pea kuo ofi ia ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, pea vakai, naʻe fata mai kituaʻā ʻae tangata mate, ko e tama pe taha ia ʻa ʻene faʻē, pea ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻoe kolo.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae ʻEiki, pea manavaʻofa ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua ʻe tangi.”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise."
Pea haʻu ia ʻo ala ki he fata: pea tuʻu pe ʻae kau fata. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talavou, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
15 He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
Pea nofo hake ia ʻaia naʻe mate, ʻo kamata lea. Pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "God has visited his people."
Pea pukea kotoa pē ʻi he manavahē: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuʻu hake ʻae palōfita lahi ʻiate kitautolu;” pea, “Kuo ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua ki hono kakai.”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē [ko ia].
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sione kiate ia ʻae toko ua ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne fekau [ʻakinaua ]kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te mau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
Pea kuo haʻu ʻae ongo tangata kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Kuo fekau ʻakimaua kiate koe ʻe Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?’”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Pea ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi mahaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi, pea mo e kau laumālie kovi; pea naʻa ne fakaʻā ʻae tokolahi naʻe kui.
22 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Pea [toki ]lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo mo mamata mo fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻa ʻae kui, kuo ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, kuo maʻa ʻae kilia, kuo ongo ʻae tuli, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva.
23 Blessed is he who is not offended by me."
Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”
24 When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata fekau ʻa Sione, pea toki lea ia ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha tangata kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, he ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu fakalaukau, mo kai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
27 This is he of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
Ko ia ia kuo tohi ki ai, [ʻo pehē, ] ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, Ke teuteu ʻe ia ho hala kiate koe.’
28 "I tell you, among those who are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."
He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John's baptism.
Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe fanongo [kiate ia], mo e kau tānaki tukuhau, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae angatonu ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ʻa Sione.
30 But the Pharisees and the Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Ka ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, naʻa nau fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai te nau papitaiso ʻiate ia.
31 "To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u fakatatau ki he hā ʻae kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni? Pea ʻoku nau tatau mo e hā?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
‌ʻOku nau tatau mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau feuiʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou meʻe; Kuo mau hiva fakamamahi kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tangi.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'
He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo kai mā mo inu uaine; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
Kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu; ka mou pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala!’
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children."
Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
Pea naʻe kole kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he Fālesi ke na kai fakataha mo ia. Pea ne hū ki he fale ʻoe Fālesi, ʻo nofo ai ke kai.
37 And look, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe angahala ʻi he kolo, kuo ʻilo ʻe ia ʻoku nofo mo kai [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi he fale ʻae Fālesi, pea ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Pea tuʻu ia ʻi hono vaʻe mei [hono tuʻa], ʻo tangi, pea kamata fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻaki hono loʻimata, ʻo ne holoholo ʻaki [ia ]hono louʻulu, pea ʻuma ki hono vaʻe, ʻo tākai ʻaki [ia ]ʻae lolo.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."
Ka kuo mamata [ki ai ]ʻae Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kole kiate ia, pea lea ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, “Ka ne ko hā palōfita ʻae tangata ni, [pehē], kuo ne ʻilo ʻae fefine ni, mo ʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ala kiate ia: he ko e angahala ia.”
40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Saimone, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae meʻa te u lea ai kiate koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, folofola mai.”
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
“Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha pea naʻe totonu ke totongi kiate ia ʻe he toko ua: ko e tenali ʻe nimangeau ʻae tokotaha, kae nimangofulu ʻae tokotaha.
42 When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
Pea kuo ʻikai haʻana meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, pea ne fakamolemole [leva ]ʻakinaua ʻosi pe. Ko ia ke ke tala mai, pe ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻe ʻofa lahi kiate ia?”
43 Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou mahalo ko ia pe naʻe lahi ʻene fakamolemole ki ai.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku totonu hoʻo mahalo.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Pea tafoki ia ki he fefine, mo ne pehē kia Saimone, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he fefine ni? Naʻaku hū ki ho fale, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻomi ha vai ki hoku vaʻe; ka kuo fufulu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻae loʻimata, mo holoholo ʻaki [ia ]hono louʻulu.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻuma kiate au: ka ko e fefine ni talu ʻeku hū mai mo e ʻikai tuku ʻene ʻuma ki hoku vaʻe.
46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Naʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo: ka kuo tākai ʻe he fefine ni ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate koe, Ko ʻene angahala, ʻaia ʻoku lahi, kuo fakamolemole ia; ko ia ʻoku lahi ai ʻene ʻofa: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi hono fakamolemole, ʻoku siʻi ʻene ʻofa.”
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
49 And those who were reclining with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau nofo ʻo kai mo ia, naʻa nau kamata pehē ʻi honau loto, Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakamolemole foki ʻae angahala?
50 He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
