Mātiu 13
1 Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he fale, ʻo nofo ʻi he matātahi.
The same day Jesus went out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
2 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.
And great multitudes were gathered together to him, so that he went into a boat, and sat down; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3 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;
And he spoke many things to them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 “Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae[tenga ]niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them:
5 Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he potu makamaka, naʻe siʻi ai ʻae kelekele; pea tupu leva ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai matolu ʻae kelekele;
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and immediately they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
And when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 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.”
But others fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 “Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Pea haʻu ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā?”
And the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?
11 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.
He answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 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.
For whoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.
13 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.
Therefore I speak to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 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:
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 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.’
For this people’s heart has become dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 “Ka ʻoku monūʻia homou mata, he ʻoku nau mamata: mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau ongoʻi.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 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.
For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see the things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
18 “Ko ia ke fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he fakatātā ʻoe tangata tūtuuʻi.
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 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.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the way side.
20 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;
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and immediately with joy receiveth it;
21 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.
Yet he hath not root in himself, but endureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, immediately he is offended.
22 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)
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 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.”
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
24 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:
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field:
25 Pea lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻae kakai, naʻe haʻu hono fili ʻo ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga kovi ʻi he uite, kae ʻalu ia.
But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26 Pea kuo tupu hake hono muka, pea kamata fua, pea toki hā ai foki ʻae ʻakau kovi.
But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 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?’
So the servants of the householder came and said to him, Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? how then hath it tares?
28 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]?’
He said to them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said to him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29 Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai; telia ʻi hoʻomou taʻaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻe mataʻaki ai mo e uite foki.
But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 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.’”
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
31 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.
Another parable he put forth to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 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.”
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge on its branches.
33 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.”
Another parable he spoke to them; The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34 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:
All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable he spoke not to them:
35 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.”
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36 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.”
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came to him, saying, Make known to us the meaning of the parable of the tares of the field.
37 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei, ko e Foha ia ʻoe tangata;
He answered and said to them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38 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;
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39 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)
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi ʻo tutu ʻi he afi; ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻoe māmani. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. (aiōn g165)
41 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;
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them who do iniquity;
42 Pea ʻe laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 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.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
44 “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.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field; which when a man hath found, he hideth, and from joy over it goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 “Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata fakatau, ʻoku kumi mataʻitofe lelei:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant man, seeking fine pearls:
46 ʻAia, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻae mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi, ʻoku ʻalu ia, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ia.
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
47 “Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kupenga, naʻe ʻaʻau ʻi tahi, pea tau ai [ʻae ngaahi ika ]kehekehe:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48 Pea kuo fonu ia, pea nau taki ki ʻuta, pea nofo ʻo tānaki ʻae lelei ki he ngaahi kato, kae liʻaki ʻae kovi.
Which, when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast away the bad.
49 ʻE pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻo māmani ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻāngelo, ʻo vaheʻi ʻae angahala mei he angatonu, (aiōn g165)
So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 ʻO laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi; pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
51 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
Jesus saith to them, Have ye understood all these things? They say to him, Yea, Lord.
52 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.”
Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe who is instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is an householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
53 Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ni, pea ʻalu ia mei ai.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 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?
And when he had come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, How hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
55 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?
Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56 Mo hono ngaahi tuofefine kotoa pē, ʻikai ʻoku nau ʻiate kitautolu? Pea kuo maʻu mei fē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
And his sisters, are they not all with us? How then hath this man all these things?
57 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.”
And they were offended in him. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and in his own house.
58 Pea naʻe ʻikai fai ai ʻe ia ha mana lahi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui.
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
