< Luke 10 >

1 Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakanofo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae toko fitungofulu kehe, ʻo ne fekau ke nau ō, ʻo tautau toko ua, ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kolo mo e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai.
2 Then he said to them, “The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi ʻae taʻu, kae tokosiʻi ʻae kau ngāue: ko ia mou kole ai ki he ʻEiki ʻoe taʻu, ke ne fekau atu ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene taʻu.
3 Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
Mou ō: pea vakai, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga lami ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi.
4 Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
‌ʻOua naʻa toʻo ha kato paʻanga, pe ha kato kai pe ha topuvaʻe; pea ʻoua ʻe fetapa ki ha taha ʻi he hala.
5 Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
Pea ko e fale ko ia te mou hū ki ai, mou tomuʻa lea, ‘Ke ʻi he fale ni ʻae fiemālie.’
6 If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻi ai ʻae foha ʻoe fiemālie, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou fakafiemālie; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ʻe toe hoko ia kiate kimoutolu.
7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house.
Pea mou nofo ʻi he fale ko ia, ʻo kai mo inu ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tenau ʻomi; he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu haʻane tauhi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fehufaki ki he ngaahi fale.
8 Into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
Pea ko e kolo ko ia te mou hū ki ai, pea nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa te nau ʻomi kiate kimoutolu.
9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
Pea fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi ai, pea mou pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Kuo ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
10 But into whatever city you enter and they don’t receive you, go out into its streets and say,
Ka ko e kolo te mou hū ki ai, pea ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou ō ki hono ngaahi hala, ʻo lea [pehē],
11 ‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that God’s Kingdom has come near to you.’
‘Naʻa mo e efu ʻo hoʻomou kolo, ʻaia ʻoku pikitai kiate kimautolu, ʻoku mau tūtuuʻi [ia ]kiate kimoutolu: ka mou ʻilo pau ʻae meʻa ni, kuo hoko ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
12 I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻa Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
“ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Petesaita! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitoni ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala, ʻonau nofo mo e tauangaʻa ʻi he efuefu.
14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
Ka ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitoni ʻae fakamaau, ʻiate kimoutolu.
15 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
Pea ko koe, Kapaneume, ʻa koe kuo hiki ki he langi, ʻe fakahifo koe ki heli. (Hadēs g86)
16 Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Ko ia ʻoku fanongo kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku fanongo ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ne liʻaki au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki au, ʻoku ne liʻaki ia kuo ne fekau au.”
17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻae toko fitungofulu ʻi he fiefia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo vaivai ʻae kau tēvolo kiate kimautolu ʻi ho huafa.”
18 He said to them, “I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku mamata ki he hinga ʻa Sētane ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila mei he langi.
19 Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you.
Vakai, ʻoku ou foaki ʻae mālohi kiate kimoutolu ke malaki hifo ʻae ngaahi ngata, mo e sikopio, pea mo e mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe fili: pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ha meʻa ʻe lavea ai ʻakimoutolu.
20 Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
Kae ʻoua naʻa fiefia ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi kuo vaivai ʻae kau laumālie kiate kimoutolu; ka mou fiefia muʻa koeʻuhi kuo tohi homou hingoa ʻi he langi.”
21 In that same hour, Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, “I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.”
Naʻe fiefia ʻa Sisu ʻi hono laumālie ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale: ke pehē, ʻE Tamai; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
22 Turning to the disciples, he said, “All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him.”
Kuo tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha pe ko hai ʻae ʻAlo, ka ko e Tamai [pe]; pe ko hai ʻae Tamai, ka ko e ʻAlo [pe], pea mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.”
23 Turning to the disciples, he said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
Pea naʻe tafoki ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo lea fufū, [ʻo pehē], “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae mata ʻoku mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai:
24 for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.”
He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe holi ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata; pea fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou fanongo ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo [ai].”
25 Behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te u fai ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?” (aiōnios g166)
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?”
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo tohi ʻi he fono? ʻOku fēfē haʻo lau?”
27 He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”
Pea lea ia, ʻo ne pehēange, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa; pea ki ho kaungāʻapi, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’”
28 He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo ke lea totonu: fai eni, pea te ke moʻui.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
Ka ʻi heʻene fie fakatonuhia ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Sisu, “Ko hai hoku kaungāʻapi?”
30 Jesus answered, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema ki Seliko, pea moʻua ia ki he kau kaihaʻa, pea naʻa nau vete ʻiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, mo taaʻi ia, pea nau ʻalu mei ai kuo ne mei mate.
31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha taulaʻeiki ʻi he hala ko ia; pea mamata ia ki ai, pea ne ʻalu ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
32 In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
Pea mo ha Livaite foki, kuo hoko ia ki he potu, pea haʻu ʻo mamata, pea ʻalu ia ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
Ka naʻe fononga ha tangata Samēlia, pea hoko ia ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea ne manavaʻofa lahi,
34 came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
‌ʻO ne ʻalu ange, ʻo nonoʻo hono lavea, pea lilingi ki ai ʻae lolo mo e uaine, pea ne fakaheka ia ki heʻene manu, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he fale talifononga, ʻo ne tauhi ia.
35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the host, and said to him, ‘Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.’
Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene ʻalu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae tenali ʻe ua, ʻo ʻatu ki he matāpule, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, ‘Ke ke tauhi ia; pea ko ia kotoa pē te ke toe ange [maʻana], te u totongi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka toe haʻu.’
36 Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?”
‌ʻOku ke mahalo, Ko hai ʻi he toko tolu ni naʻe kaungāʻapi kiate ia naʻe moʻua ki he kau kaihaʻa?”
37 He said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ia ne ne fai ʻofa kiate ia.” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke fai pehē pe.”
38 As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Pea pehē, kuo nau fononga, pea ne hoko ki he potu kakai ʻe taha, pea ko e fefine ko Māʻata hono hingoa, ne ne maʻu ia ki hono fale.
39 She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard his word.
Pea naʻe ai ʻa hono tokoua naʻe ui ko Mele, naʻe nofo foki ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo fanongo ki heʻene lea.
40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.”
Ka kuo femouʻekina ʻa Māʻata ʻi he tauhi lahi, pea ne haʻu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku tokoua ke u ngāue tokotaha pe? Ko ia ke ke fekau ia ke tokoni au.”
41 Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
Pea tala ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Māʻata, Māʻata, ʻoku ke femouʻekina mo fetokangaʻaki ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
42 but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ʻaonga: pea kuo fili ʻe Mele ʻae meʻa lelei, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toʻo meiate ia.”
