Mātiu 11
1 Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻene akonaki ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ke akonaki mo malanga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Kalaisi, pea fekau atu ʻe ia ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua,
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 ʻO na pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu, pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
And said unto him, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mo fanongo, mo mamata ki ai:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again those things which all of you do hear and see:
5 ʻOku ʻā ʻae kui, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, ʻoku maʻa ʻae kilia, pea ongo ʻae tuli, pea fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he kakai masiva.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tūkia, ʻiate au.”
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 Pea kuo na ō, pea lea ʻa Sisu ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ha vaʻa kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went all of you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha tangata ʻoku kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu molū ʻoku nau ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
But what went all of you out in order to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
But what went all of you out in order to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 He ko eni ia kuo tohi ki ai, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻeku talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala ʻi ho ʻao.’
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11 Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai tupu ha tokotaha lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻiate kinautolu kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 Pea talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻoku fai mālohi ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku lavaʻi fakamālohi ia ʻe he kau mālohi.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 He naʻe akonaki ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e fono ʻo hoko mo Sione.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 Pea kapau ʻoku mou faʻa maʻu ia, ko ʻIlaisiā eni, ʻaia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu.
And if all of you will receive it, this is Elijah, which was in order to come.
15 Ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “Ka te u fakatatau ʻae toʻutangata ni ki he hā? ʻOku tatau ia mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau ui ki honau niʻihi,
But unto which shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 ʻO pehē, ‘Naʻa mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻikai te mou meʻe; naʻa mau [hiva ]fakatangi kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai te mou tangi.’
And saying, We have piped unto you, and all of you have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and all of you have not lamented.
18 He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a devil.
19 Ka kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala.’ Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau.”
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine indulger, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
20 Pea toki kamata valoki ʻe ia ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe fai lahi ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue mana, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau taʻefakatomala:
Then began he to reproach the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 “ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Peteseta! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitone ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala ʻi he tauangaʻa mo e efuefu.
Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitone ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate kimoutolu.
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 Pea ko Koe Kapaneume, ʻa Koe kuo hiki ki he langi, ʻe fakahifo Koe ki heli: he ka ne fai ʻi Sotoma ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate koe, pehē, kuo tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, which are exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in you, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate koe.”
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
25 Pea lea ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻe Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
26 Ke pehē, ʻe Tamai: he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in your sight.
27 “Kuo tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻAlo ʻe ha taha, ka ko e Tamai pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae Tamai ʻe ha taha, ka ko e ʻAlo pe, mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 “Haʻu kiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku feinga mo māfasia, pea te u foaki ʻae fiemālie kiate kimoutolu.
Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Toʻo ʻeku haʻamonga kiate kimoutolu, pea mou ako ʻiate au; he ʻoku ou angavaivai mo angamalū: pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and all of you shall find rest unto your souls.
30 He ʻoku faingofua pe ʻeku haʻamonga, pea ʻoku maʻamaʻa ʻeku kavenga.”
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
