Luke 6
1 Pea ko eni, naʻe ai ha Sāpate, naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue uite; pea toli ʻe heʻene kau ākonga ʻae fua ʻoe uite, ʻo momosi ʻi honau nima mo nau kai.
One Sabbath while Jesus was walking through grainfields, his disciples began picking some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
2 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe Fālesi kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”
Some of the Pharisees questioned him, asking, “Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
3 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene fiekaia, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia;
Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ne toʻo ʻo kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, pea ʻange foki kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia; ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke kai [ai ]ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe?”
How he went into the house of God and took the consecrated bread? He ate it, and gave it to his men too. That's not permitted either. The consecrated bread is only for the priests.”
5 Mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki foki ia ʻoe Sāpate.”
Then he told them, “The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
6 Pea ʻi he hoko ki he Sāpate foki ʻe taha, naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu ʻo ako ai: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima toʻomataʻu.
On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue to teach. A man was there with a crippled right hand.
7 Pea lamasi ia ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, pe te ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi he [ʻaho ]Sāpate; koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke talakoviʻi ai ia.
The religious teachers and the Pharisees were observing Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to find something to accuse him of.
8 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mahalo, pea ne pehē ki he tangata naʻe nima mate, “Tuʻu hake, ʻo tuʻu mai ki loto. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo tuʻu [ʻi ai].”
But Jesus knew what was in their minds. He told the man with the crippled hand, “Get up, and stand here in front of everyone.” The man got up and stood there.
9 Pea toki pehē atu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu ki he meʻa ʻe taha; Ko e hā ʻoku ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ko e lelei pe ko e kovi! Ko e fakamoʻui pe ko e tāmateʻi?”
Then Jesus turned to them and said, “Let me ask you a question. Is it legal to do good on the Sabbath, or to do bad? To save life, or to destroy it?”
10 Pea naʻe vakai folia ʻe ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, “Mafao atu ho nima.” Pea ne fai ia: pea moʻui hono nima ʻo hangē ko [hono nima ]ʻe taha.
He looked round at all of them there. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand became like new.
11 Ka naʻe mātuʻaki lili ʻakinautolu: ʻonau fakakaukau pe ko e hā te nau fai kia Sisu.
But they flew into a rage, and began to discuss what they could do to Jesus.
12 Pea pehē, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki ha moʻunga ke lotu, pea lotu ai pe ia ki he ʻOtua ʻi he pō ʻo ʻaho.
One day shortly after, Jesus went up a mountain to pray. He remained there all night, praying to God.
13 Pea kuo ʻaho hake, pea ne ui kiate ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga; pea naʻa ne fili ʻiate kinautolu ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻaia foki naʻa ne fakahingoa ko e kau ʻaposetolo;
When morning came he called together his disciples, and chose twelve of them. These are the names of the apostles:
14 Ko Saimone, (naʻa ne fakahingoa ko Pita, ) mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, mo Semisi, mo Sione, mo Filipe, mo Pātolomiu,
Simon (also called Peter by Jesus), Andrew his brother, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
15 Mo Mātiu, mo Tōmasi, mo Semisi ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Saimone ʻoku ui ko Selote,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Revolutionary,
16 Mo Siutasi [ko e tokoua ]ʻo Semisi, mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻaia foki ko e lavaki.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).
17 Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mo kinautolu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he potu tafangafanga, fakataha mo ʻene kau ākonga, pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito mei Siutea kotoa pē mo Selūsalema, mo e matātahi ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, ke nau fanongo kiate ia, mo moʻui mei honau ngaahi mahaki;
Jesus went back down the mountain with them, and stopped at a place where there was some flat ground. There a crowd made up of his disciples and many other people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, had gathered to listen to him and to be cured from their diseases.
18 Pea mo kinautolu naʻe mamahi ʻi he kau laumālie ʻuli: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
Those who were troubled by evil spirits were also healed.
19 Pea holi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau ala kiate ia: he naʻe ʻalu ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi, ʻo fakamoʻui kotoa pē.
Everyone in the crowd tried to touch him, because power was coming out from him and healing them all.
20 Pea tangaki hake ʻe ia hono mata ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku masiva; He ʻoku ʻomoutolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
Looking at his disciples, Jesus told them,
21 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku fiekaia ni: Koeʻuhi ʻe fakamākona ʻakimoutolu. ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku tangi ni: He te mou kata.
“How happy are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. How happy are you who are hungry now, for you will eat all you need. How happy are you who are weeping now, for you will laugh.
22 “ʻOku monūʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoka fehiʻa ʻae kakai kiate kimoutolu, Mo fakamavaheʻi ʻakimoutolu [meiate kinautolu], ʻO taukae [kiate kimoutolu], Pea lī kituʻa homou hingoa ʻo hangē ko e kovi, Koeʻuhi ko e Foha ʻoe tangata.
How happy are you when people hate you, exclude you, insult you, and curse your name as evil because of me, the Son of man.
23 Mou fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, Pea hopohopo ʻi he fiefia: Vakai, he ʻoku lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi he langi: He naʻe fai pehē ʻenau ngaahi tamai ki he kau palōfita.
When that day comes, be happy. Jump for joy, for great is your reward in heaven. Don't forget their forefathers mistreated the prophets just like this.
24 “Kae malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku koloaʻia! He kuo mou maʻu hoʻomou fiemālie.
But how sad are you who are rich, for you have already received your reward.
25 “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku mākona! He te mou fiekaia. ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoku kata ni! He te mou tangi mo tangilāulau.
How sad are you who are full now, for you will become hungry. How sad are you who laugh now, for you will mourn and cry.
26 “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻoka lauʻi lelei ʻakimoutolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē! He naʻe fai pehē ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamai ki he kau palōfita kākā.
How sad are you when everyone praises you. Don't forget that their forefathers praised false prophets just like this.
27 “Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻoku fanongo, ʻofa ki homou ngaahi fili, fai lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate kimoutolu.
But I say to those of you who are listening: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku kapeʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea hūfia ʻakinautolu ʻoku fakakoviʻi ʻakimoutolu.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne sipiʻi koe ʻi ho kouʻahe ʻe taha, fulihi [kiate ia ho kouʻahe ]ʻe taha; pea mo ia ʻoku ne ʻave ho pulupulu, ʻoua naʻa taʻofi [ʻene ʻave ]mo ho kofutuʻa.
If someone hits you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone takes your coat, don't prevent them taking your shirt.
30 Foaki kiate ia fulipē ʻoku kole kiate koe; pea ko ia ʻoku ne ʻave hoʻo koloa ʻoua naʻa [toe ]kole [ia].
Give to anyone who asks you. If someone takes something from you, don't ask for it back.
31 Pea ko ia te mou loto ke fai ʻe he kakai kiate kimoutolu, ko ia pe foki te mou fai kiate kinautolu.
Do to others what you want them to do to you.
32 “He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu [pe ]ʻoku ʻofa mai kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻoku mou maʻu? He ʻoku ʻofa mai ʻae kau angahala kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ange kiate kinautolu.
If you love those who love you, why should you deserve any credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 Pea kapau ʻoku mou fai lelei kiate kinautolu [pe ]ʻoku fai lelei kiate kimoutolu, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi ʻoku mou maʻu? He ʻoku fai pehē ʻe he kau angahala.
If you do good to those who do good to you, why should you deserve any credit for that either? Sinners do that as well.
34 Pea kapau ʻoku mou ʻatu meʻa [kiate kinautolu pe ]ʻoku mou ʻamanaki ke maʻu mei ai, ko e hā ʻae fakafetaʻi te mou maʻu? He ʻoku ʻatu meʻa ʻae kau angahala ki he kau angahala, ke [toe ]maʻu hono tatau.
If you lend money expecting to be repaid, why should you deserve any credit for that? Sinners lend money to other sinners as well, expecting to be repaid what they loaned.
35 Ka mou ʻofa ki homou ngaahi fili, pea fai lelei, mo ʻatu meʻa, ʻi he taʻeʻamanaki ke toe maʻu; pea ʻe lahi ai hoʻomou totongi pea ʻe ui ʻakimoutolu ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga: he ʻoku angalelei ia ki he taʻefakafetaʻi pea mo e kovi.
No: love your enemies, do good to them, and lend without expecting to be repaid anything. Then you will receive a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God, for he is kind to ungrateful and wicked people.
36 Ko ia mou manavaʻofa, ʻo hangē foki ko e manavaʻofa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai.
Be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.
37 “ʻOua ʻe fakamaau, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaauʻi ʻakimoutolu: ʻoua naʻa fakahalaia, pea ʻe ʻikai fakahalaia ʻakimoutolu: mou fakamolemole, pea ʻe fakamolemolea ʻakimoutolu:
Don't judge, and you won't be judged; don't condemn, and you won't be condemned; forgive, and you'll be forgiven;
38 Foaki, pea ʻe foaki ia kiate kimoutolu; ko e fua lahi, kuo faʻo lolo hifo, ʻo lulu fakataha, pea fonu mahuohua, ʻe ʻatu ki homou fatafata. He ko e fuofua ko ia te mou fua ʻaki, ʻe toe fua ʻaki ia kiate kimoutolu.”
give, and you will be given generously in return. When what you're given is measured out, it's pressed down so more can be added, spilling out over the top, pouring into your lap! For how much you give will determine how much you receive.”
39 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu, “ʻE faʻa taki ʻe he kui ʻae kui? ʻIkai te na tō fakatouʻosi ki he luo?”
Then he illustrated the point: “Can a blind person lead another? Wouldn't they both fall into a ditch?
40 ʻOku ʻikai lahi hake ʻae ākonga ʻi heʻene akonaki: ka ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku haohaoa ʻe hangē ia ko ʻene akonaki.
Do students know more than the teacher? Only when they've learned everything: then they will be like their teacher.
41 “Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻi he mata ʻo ho kāinga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata?
Why are you so worried about the speck that's in your brother's eye when you don't even notice the plank that's in your own eye?
42 Pea ʻe fēfē haʻo faʻa pehē ki ho kāinga, ‘Kāinga, tuku mai ke u toʻo ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata,’ ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku ʻi ho mata? Ko e mālualoi koe, tomuʻa lī ʻae fuʻu ʻakau mei ho mata, pea te ke toki ʻilo totonu ke toʻo mai ʻae malamalaʻi ʻakau mei he mata ʻo ho kāinga.
How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that's in your eye,’ when you don't even see the plank that's in your own eye? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you'll be able to see well enough to take out the speck from your brother's eye.
43 “He ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻakau lelei ʻe tupu ai ʻae fua kovi; pe ha ʻakau kovi ʻe tupu ai ʻae fua lelei.
A good tree doesn't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn't produce good fruit.
44 He ʻoku ʻilo ʻae ʻakau kotoa pē ʻi hono fua ʻoʻona. He ʻoku ʻikai toli ʻe he kakai ʻae fiki ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pe ko e fua ʻoe vaine ʻi he talatalaʻāmoa.
You recognize a tree by the fruit it produces. You don't pick figs from thorn bushes, or harvest grapes from brambles.
45 ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻaia ʻoku lelei mei he koloa lelei ʻi hono loto; pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻaia ʻoku kovi mei he koloa kovi ʻi hono loto: he ʻoku lea ʻa hono ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoe loto.
Good people produce what's good from the good things they value that they have stored inside them. Bad people produce what's bad from the bad things they have stored inside them. What fills people's minds spills out in what they say.
46 “Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou ui ai au, ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki,’ kae ʻikai fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tala?
So why do you bother to call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ when you don't do what I say?
47 Pea ko ia fulipē ʻoku haʻu kiate au, ʻo fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, mo fai ki ai, te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu hono tatau:
I'll give you an example of someone who comes to me, hears my instructions, and follows them.
48 ʻOku tatau ia mo e tangata naʻe langa ʻae fale, pea keli māʻulalo, ʻo ne ai hono tuʻunga ki he [funga maka]; pea ʻi he tupu ʻae vaitafe, pea ʻoho mālohi ʻae vai ki he fale ko ia, naʻe ʻikai ngaue ia; he naʻe fokotuʻu ia ki he maka.
That person is like a man building a house. He digs down deep and lays the foundations on solid rock. When the river bursts its banks and the floodwater breaks against the house it's not damaged because it's built so well.
49 Ka ko ia ʻoku fanongo, kae ʻikai fai [ki ai], ʻoku tatau ia mo e tangata naʻe langa ʻae fale ʻi he kelekele taʻehatuʻunga; pea naʻe ʻoho mālohi ʻae vai ki ai, pea holo leva ia; pea ko e maumau ʻoe fale ko ia ko e meʻa lahi.”
The person who hears me but doesn't do what I say is like a man who builds a house without foundations. When the floodwater breaks against the house it collapses immediately, completely destroyed.”
