< Luke 13 >
1 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kau Kāleli, ʻakinautolu naʻe hui ʻaki ʻe Pailato honau toto ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau.
And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;
2 Pea folofola ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou mahalo naʻe angahala lahi ʻae kau Kāleli ko ia ʻi he kakai Kāleli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa pehē kiate kinautolu?
and Jesus answering said to them, 'Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
3 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.
No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.
4 Pe ko e toko hongofulu ma toko valu ko ia, naʻe taʻomia ʻi he holo ʻae fale leʻo ʻo Seiloame, pea mate ai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku mou mahalo ko e kau angahala lahi taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai fulipē naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema?
'Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
5 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.”
No — I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.'
6 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki foki ʻae fakatātā ni; “Naʻe tō ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki; pea haʻu ia ʻo kumi fua mei ai, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo[ia].
And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
7 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tauhi ngoue vaine, ‘Vakai, ko e taʻu ʻe tolu kuo u haʻu ʻo kumi fua ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ni, kae ʻikai ʻilo [ia]: tā hifo ia; ko e hā ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaonga ai ʻae kelekele?’
and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?
8 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, tuku ai pe ia ʻi he taʻu ni foki, kaeʻoua ke u keli tākai, mo taufetuku [ki ai].
'And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;
9 Heiʻilo ʻe toki fua ia, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ke toki tā hifo ia.’”
and if indeed it may bear fruit —; and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.'
10 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,
11 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie fakamahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu, pea naʻe mapelu ia ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke faʻa tuʻu hake ia.
and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,
12 Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ui [ia], mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, kuo veteki koe mei hoʻo mahaki.”
and Jesus having seen her, did call [her] near, and said to her, 'Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'
13 Pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate ia; pea naʻe toki tuʻu totonu leva ia, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
and he laid on her [his] hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
14 Pea lea ʻita ange ʻae pule ʻoe falelotu, koeʻuhi naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sisu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, “ʻOku ono ʻae ʻaho ʻoku totonu ke ngāue ai ʻae kakai: ko ia mou haʻu ai ke mou moʻui, kaeʻoua ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
And the chief of the synagogue answering — much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed — said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it behoveth [us] to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'
15 Pea folofola ange ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e mālualoi koe! ʻIkai ʻoku mou taki taha vete ʻene pulu, pe ko ʻene ʻasi, mei hono tuʻunga, ʻo tataki [ia ]ke fakainu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?
Then the Lord answered him and said, 'Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water [it]?
16 Pea ʻe ʻikai lelei ke vete ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, mei he haʻi ni, ʻae fefine ni, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻe Sētane, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu ni?”
and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'
17 Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ma hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē; kae fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ongoongolelei kotoa pē kuo ne fai.
And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku tatau mo e hā ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? Pea te u fakatatau ia ki he hā?
And he said, 'To what is the reign of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
19 ʻOku tatau ia mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata, ʻo lī ki heʻene ngoue, pea tupu ia, ʻo hoko ko e ʻakau lahi; pea nofo ai ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.'
20 Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakatatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ki he hā?
And again he said, 'To what shall I liken the reign of God?
21 ʻOku tatau ia mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo fufū ʻi he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu ʻaki kotoa pē ia.”
It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'
22 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo mo e potu kakai, ʻo ako, mo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;
23 Pea toki pehē ʻe he tokotaha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e tokosiʻi [pe ]te nau moʻui?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
and a certain one said to him, 'Sir, are those saved few?' and he said unto them,
24 “Fai feinga ke hū ʻi he matapā fāsiʻi: he ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kumi ʻe he tokolahi ke hū ki ai, kae ʻikai te nau mafai.
'Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;
25 Pea ka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea te mou tutuʻu leva ʻi he matapā ʻituʻa, ʻo tukituki, mo pehē [ai], ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu;’ pea ʻe lea ia, ʻo pehē mai kiate kimoutolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē:’
from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,
26 Pea te mou lea leva, [ʻo pehē], ‘Naʻa mau kai mo inu ʻi ho ʻao, pea naʻa ke akonaki ʻi homau ngaahi hala.’
then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach;
27 Ka ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē; ʻalu ʻiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai angahala.’
and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the unrighteousness.
28 ʻE ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo, ʻoka mou ka mamata kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, mo e kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ka kuo kapusi ʻakimoutolu kituaʻā.
'There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;
29 Pea te nau haʻu mei he potu hahake mo hihifo, mei he tokelau mo e tonga, mo nau nofo hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign of God,
30 Pea vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae ki mui te nau muʻomuʻa; pea ʻoku ai ʻae ki muʻa te nau muimui.”
and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.'
31 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke mole ʻi heni: he ʻoku loto ʻa Helota ke tāmateʻi koe.”
On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, 'Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;'
32 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō, ʻo tala ki he fokisi ko ia, ‘Vakai, ko e ʻaho ni mo e ʻapongipongi ʻoku ou kapusi ai ʻae kau tēvolo, mo fai ʻae fakamoʻui, pea ʻi hono [ʻaho ]tolu te u haohaoa.’
and he said to them, 'Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am being perfected;
33 Ka ko e moʻoni teu ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻaho ni, mo e ʻapongipongi, mo e [ʻaho ]ʻoku hoko[mo ia]: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ha palōfita ka ʻi Selūsalema pe.
but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.
34 “ʻE Selūsalema, Selūsalema, ʻa Koe ʻoku ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau palōfita, mo ke lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinautolu kuo fekau kiate koe, kuo tuʻo fiha ʻeku fie tānaki fakataha hoʻo fānau, ʻo hangē[ko e tānaki ]ʻe he motuʻa moa hono ʻuhiki ʻi hono lalo kapakau, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto[ki ai].
'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.
35 Vakai, kuo siʻaki homou fale kiate kimoutolu ke lala: pea ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au, kaeʻoua ke mou pehē, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki.’”
'Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you — ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord.'
