Luke 7
1 After he had completed all his sayings within 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 And, a certain centurion’s servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, —who was, by him, highly prized.
Pea naʻe mahaki, ʻo mei mate ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa lahi ai ia.
3 But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through.
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 And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying—Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,
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 loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us.
He ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hotau kakai, pea ko ia ia ne langa ʻae falelotu moʻomautolu.”
6 And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him—Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.
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 Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, —but speak with a word, and let my servant 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 too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one—Go! and he goeth, —and to another—Come! and he cometh, —and to my servant—Do this! and he doeth 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 And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said—I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!
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 they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.
Pea liu atu ki he fale ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau, ʻonau ʻilo ʻae tamaioʻeiki naʻe mahaki kuo moʻui ia.
11 And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.
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 Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, —and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of 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 And, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her—Be not weeping!
Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae ʻEiki, pea manavaʻofa ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua ʻe tangi.”
14 And, going forward, he touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still; and he said—Young man! to thee, I say, 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 And the dead man 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 And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying—A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and—God hath 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 And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.
Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē [ko ia].
18 And John’s disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.
Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
19 And, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying—Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?
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 And, coming near unto him, the men said—John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?
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 very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.
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 And, answering, he said unto them—Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;
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 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!
Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”
24 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John—What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
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 went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly 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 went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you, —and abundantly 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 concerning whom it is written—Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
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 say unto you—A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that 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 And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;
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 lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.
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 Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto 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 unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say—We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.
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 Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say—A demon, he hath:
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 hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say—Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, 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 And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.
Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”
36 And a certain one of the Pharisees was requesting him, that he would eat with him; and, entering into the house of the Pharisee, he reclined.
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, lo! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,
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 and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off [the tears], and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.
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 But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching 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 And, making answer, Jesus said unto him—Simon! I have, unto thee, something to say. He, then—Teacher, speak!—saith he.
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 Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, —the one, owed five hundred denaries, 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 they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?
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 Making answer, Simon said—I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him—Rightly, hast thou judged.
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 And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said—Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, —but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off [the tears].
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 A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, —but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing 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 With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, —but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.
Naʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo: ka kuo tākai ʻe he fefine ni ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
47 For which cause, I say unto thee—Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.
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 And he said unto her—Thy sins have been forgiven.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
49 And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves—Who is, this, that, even forgiveth 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 But he said unto the woman—Thy faith, hath saved thee, —Go thy way into peace.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
