Mātiu 21
1 Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki Selūsalema, ʻo hoko ki Petefesi, ki he moʻunga ko ʻOlive, naʻe toki fekau ʻe Sisu ʻae ākonga ʻe toko ua,
And, when they drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth two disciples;
2 ʻO ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai, pea te mo ʻilo leva ʻae ʻasi ʻoku noʻotaki, mo hono ʻuhiki: vevete ʻo tataki mai kiate au.
saying unto them—Be going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her, —loose them, and lead them unto me.
3 Pea kapau ʻe lea ha taha kiate kimoua, te mo pehē, ‘ʻOku na ʻaonga ki he ʻEiki;’ pea te ne tuku mai leva ia.”
And, if anyone, unto you, say aught, ye shall say—Their Lord, hath, need, —and, straightway, he will send them.
4 Naʻe fai eni kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē,
But, this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying:
5 “Mou tala ki he taʻahine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angamalū, ʻo heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ko e fānau ʻae ʻasi.’”
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo ākonga ʻo na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sisu kiate kinaua,
And the disciples, went, and did as Jesus directed them;
7 ʻo ʻomi ʻae ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki, pea nau ʻai ki ai honau kofu, ʻonau fakaheka, [ia ]ki ai.
and led the ass and the colt, and laid upon them their garments, and he took his seat upon them.
8 Pea folahi atu ʻe he kakai tokolahi honau kofu ʻi he hala; pea naʻe tutuʻu hifo ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻuluʻuluʻi ʻakau, ʻo falikiliki ʻaki ʻae hala.
And, the chief multitude, spread their own mantles in the way, and, others, were cutting off young branches from the trees, and spreading them in the way;
9 Pea ko e kakai tokolahi naʻe muʻomuʻa mo muimui atu, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he Foha ʻo Tevita: ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova;’ Hosana ʻi ʻolunga.”
and the multitudes, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying—Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
10 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Selūsalema, naʻe ngatū ʻae kolo kotoa, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai eni?”
And, when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, saying—Who is this?
11 Pea pehē ʻe he kakai, “Ko Sisu eni, ko e palōfita ʻo Nāsaleti ʻi Kaleli.”
And, the multitudes, were saying—This, is the prophet Jesus, —He from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Pea hū ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fefakatauʻaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne fulihi ʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe kau fetongi paʻanga, mo e nofoʻa ʻonautolu naʻe fakatau lupe,
And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, —and, the tables of the money-changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves;
13 ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ui hoku fale ko e falelotu;’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.”
and saith unto them—It is written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called; but, ye, are making it, A den of robbers!
14 Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia, ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻae kui mo e pipiki; pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured them.
15 Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ki he ngaahi meʻa mana naʻa ne fai, mo e kalanga ʻae tamaiki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he foha ʻo Tevita;” naʻa nau ʻita lahi,
But the Chief-priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;
16 ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ongoʻi ʻenau lea?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIo; pea ʻoku teʻeki siʻi ke mou lau, ‘Kuo ke maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhū?’”
and said unto him—Hearest thou what these are saying? And, Jesus, saith unto them—Yea: Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou prepared praise?
17 Pea tuku ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae ʻalu ia mei he kolo ki Pētani; pea mohe ai.
And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene liu mai ki he kolo, kuo fiekaia ia.
And, early, returning into the city, he hungered;
19 Pea mamata ia ki he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi he hala, pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ai ha meʻa ka ko e lau pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ngata ʻi heni, ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ha fua ʻiate koe ʻo lauikuonga.” Pea mate leva ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki. (aiōn g165)
and, seeing one fig-tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only, —and he saith unto it—No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age-abiding, —and the fig-tree, instantly withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, pea nau ofo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mate vave ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki!”
And the disciples, seeing it, marvelled, saying—How instantly, did the fig-tree wither away.
21 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻoku mou maʻu ʻae tui, pea ʻoua naʻa fakataʻetaʻetui, ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pe ʻa ia [kuo fai ]ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, ka ʻoka mou ka tala ki he moʻunga ni foki, ‘Ke hiki koe, mo lī koe ki he tahi;’ ʻe fai ia.
And Jesus, answering, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig-tree, shall ye do, —but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te mou kole ʻi he lotu, ʻi he tui, te mou maʻu.”
And, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Pea kuo hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ʻi heʻene kei malanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai naʻa ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
And, when he, entered, the temple, the Chief-priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, this authority?
24 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu foki ki he meʻa ʻe taha, pea kapau te mou tala ia kiate au, te u tala foki kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
And, making answer, Jesus said unto them—I also, will ask, you, one thing, —which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing: —
25 Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei fē? Mei he langi, pe mei he tangata?” Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kitautolu, ‘Pea ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
The immersion by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore then did ye not believe him?
26 Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻoku tau manavahē ki he kakai; he ʻoku lau kotoa pē ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
But, if we say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John.
27 Pea nau talaange kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻilo.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
And, making answer to Jesus, they said—We know not. He also, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
28 “Ka ko e hā homou loto? Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe toko ua hono foha; pea haʻu ia ki hono ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foha, ʻalu ʻo ngāue ʻi heʻeku ngoue vaine he ʻaho ni.’
But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, to-day, be working in the vineyard.
29 Pea talaange ʻe ia ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai:’ kae hili ia ne ne fakatomala pea ʻalu.
And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not;
30 Pea haʻu ia ki hono toko ua, ʻo ne lea pehē pe foki. Pea lea ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻEiki, te u [ʻalu]:’ ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia.
And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner, —and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went.
31 Ko hai ia ʻiate kinaua naʻe fai ʻae loto ʻo ʻena tamai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Ko e ʻuluaki.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tomuʻa hoko ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu.
Which of the two, did the will of the father? They say, The latter. Jesus saith unto them—Verily, I say unto you, the tax-collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God;
32 He naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione kiate kimoutolu ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kiate ia: ka naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki: pea hili hoʻomou mamata ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala ai, ke mou tui kiate ia.”
For John came unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, —but, the tax-collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as to believe him.
33 “Fanongo ki he fakatātā ʻe taha: Naʻe ai ʻae ʻeiki ʻe taha, naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ʻo keli ʻi ai ʻae tataʻoʻanga uaine, ʻo ne langa ʻae fale leʻo, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tangata tauhi ngoue, kae ʻalu ia ki he fonua mamaʻo:
Another parable, hear ye: —A man there was, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and, a wall around it, placed, and digged in it a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, —and left home.
34 Pea kuo ofi hono toʻukai vaine, pea fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu hono ngaahi fua.
And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 Pea puke ʻe he kau tangata ngoue ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo haha ʻae tokotaha, mo tāmateʻi ʻae tokotaha, pea tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae tokotaha.
And the husbandmen, taking his servants, one, indeed, they beat, and, another, slew, —and, another, stoned.
36 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki: pea nau fai pehē pe kiate kinautolu.
Again, sent he forth other servants, more than the first, and they did unto them, likewise.
37 Pea fekau fakamui ʻe ia ʻa hono foha kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku foha.’
Afterwards, however, he sent forth unto them his son, saying, —They will pay deference unto my son!
38 Ka kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ki he foha, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, [ʻo pehē], ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko; haʻu, ke tau tāmateʻi ia, pea tau maʻu hono tofiʻa.’
But, the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, —This, is, the heir: Come on! Let us slay him, and have his inheritance.
39 Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi ia.
And, taking him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard, —and slew him.
40 “Pea ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ko e hā te ne fai ki he kau tauhi ngoue ko ia?”
When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Te ne fakaʻauha fakamamahi ʻae kau tangata angakovi ko ia, pea tuku ʻene ngoue ki he kau tauhi kehe, te nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae fua ʻi hono ngaahi faʻahitaʻu.”
They say unto him—Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki siʻi te mou lau ʻi he tohi, ‘Ko e maka ko ia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, ko ia ia kuo hoko ko e fungani ʻoe tuliki; ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’
Jesus saith unto them—Have ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes.
43 “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻave ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻoatu ia ki ha kakai ʻe tupu ai hono ngaahi fua.
Wherefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God, will be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof:
44 Pea ko ia ʻe tō ki he maka ni, ʻe mafesi ai ia: ka ko ia fulipē ʻe tō ia ki ai, te ne momosi ia ke efuefu.”
[And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him.]
45 Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e Fālesi ki heʻene ngaahi fakatātā, naʻa nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking.
46 Ka ʻi heʻenau holi ke puke ia, naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai, he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e palōfita ia.”
And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.
