< Luke 19 >

1 And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,
Pea naʻe fononga atu [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi Seliko, ʻo ʻalu ai.
2 A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,
Pea vakai, ko e tangata ko Sakiasi hono hingoa, ko e matāpule ia ʻi he kau tānaki tukuhau, pea naʻe koloaʻia ia.
3 Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.
Naʻe holi ia ke mamata pe ko e tangata ʻoku fēfē ʻa Sisu; ka naʻe ʻikai mafai ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, he ko e pukupuku ia.
4 And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.
Pea naʻe lele muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo kaka ʻi he ʻakau ko e sukamino, ke mamata kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ange ai ia.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.
Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki he potu, naʻa ne sio hake, ʻo mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Sakiasi, ʻalu hifo ke vave, he te u nofo ʻi ho fale ʻi he ʻaho ni.”
6 And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.
Pea fakavave ia, ʻo ʻalu hifo, ʻo ne tali ia ʻi he fiefia.
7 And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.
Pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, pea nau lāunga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻalu ia ke nofo mo e tangata angahala.”
8 And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sakiasi, ʻo ne pehē ki he “ʻEiki; ʻEiki, vakai, ʻoku ou foaki hono vaeua ʻo ʻeku koloa ki he masiva; pea kapau ne u maʻu ha meʻa ʻi he lohiakiʻi ha taha, ʻoku ou totongi ʻo liunga fā[kiate ia.]”
9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo hoko ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae fakamoʻui ki he fale ni, koeʻuhi ko e foha foki ia ʻo ʻEpalahame.
10 For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.
He kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke kumi mo fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo mole.”
11 And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away.
Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne toe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā, koeʻuhi kuo ofi ia ki Selūsalema, pea [ko e meʻa ]ʻi heʻenau mahalo ʻe hoko leva ʻae puleʻanga, ʻoe ʻOtua.
12 So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.
Ko ia ne ne pehē ai, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ki he fonua mamaʻo, ke maʻu moʻona ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki liliu mai.
13 And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.
Pea ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ngāueʻaki eni kaeʻoua ke u haʻu.’
14 But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler.
Ka naʻe fehiʻa ʻa hono kakai kiate ia, ʻonau kouna ʻae talafekau ke ʻalu, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ʻae tangata ni ke puleʻi ʻakimautolu.’
15 And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.
“Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki fekau ʻe ia ke ui mai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ki ai ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ko e hā kuo maʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene fakatau.
16 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.
Pea haʻu ʻae ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu.’
17 And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei koe;’ ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, maʻu ʻe koe ʻae pule ki he kolo ʻe hongofulu.
18 And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.
Pea haʻu hono toko ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe nima’
19 And he said, You will be ruler over five towns.
Pea naʻe pehē foki kiate ia, ‘Ke ke puleʻi foki ʻae kolo ʻe nima.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;
Pea haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, vakai, ko hoʻo mina, ʻaia kuo u tauhi, ʻo kofuʻaki ia ʻae holoholo.
21 Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed.
He naʻaku manavahē kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faingataʻa koe: ʻoku ke toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi.’
22 He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed;
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Mei ho ngutu ʻoʻou te u fakamaau koe, ʻae tamaioʻeiki angakovi. Naʻa ke ʻilo ko e tangata faingataʻa au, ʻoku ou toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi:
23 Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?
Ko e hā ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tuku ʻeku paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ia mo hono tupu?’
24 And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.
Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ‘Toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae mina, ʻo atu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’
25 And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.
(Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’)
26 And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
He ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
27 And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.
Ka ko kinautolu ni ko hoku ngaahi fili, naʻe ʻikai te nau lelei ke u puleʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻomi ki heni, pea tāmateʻi ʻi hoku ʻao.’”
28 And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem.
Pea kuo hili ʻene lea pehē, pea muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
29 And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki Petefesi mo Pētani, ki he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ne ne fekau ʻene ongo ākonga ʻe toko ua.
30 Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.
‌ʻO pehē, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai; pea ʻi hoʻomo hū ki ai te mo ʻilo ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata: vete ia, ʻo taki mai.”
31 And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻeke ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ia?’ Te mo pehē kiate [ia], ‘Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.’”
32 And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said.
Pea naʻa na ō ʻakinaua naʻe fekau, ʻo na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ia ne ne fakahā kiate kinaua.
33 And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?
Pea ʻi heʻena vete ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻanautolu ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi?”
34 And they said, The Lord has need of him.
Pea na pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.”
35 And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.
Pea naʻa na taki ia kia Sisu: pea na ʻai hona kofu ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, ʻo na fakaheka ki ai ʻa Sisu.
36 And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ō, naʻa nau folahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala.
37 And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;
Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, ʻi he tahifohifo ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻOlive, pea kamata fiefia mo fakamālō ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē kuo nau mamata ki ai;
38 Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.
‌ʻO pehē, “‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova:’ Ke fiemālie ʻi he langi, pea fakamālō fungani lahi ʻi ʻolunga.”
39 And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.
Pea ko e Fālesi niʻihi ʻi he kakai naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, lolomi hoʻo kau ākonga.”
40 And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fakalongo pē ʻakinautolu ni, ʻe kalanga leva ʻae ngaahi maka.”
41 And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,
Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, pea vakai ia ki he kolo, pea tangi ai,
42 Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them.
‌ʻo pehē, “Taumaiā naʻa ke ʻilo, ʻio, ʻe koe, ʻi ho ʻaho ko eni, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki hoʻo fiemālie! Ka ko eni kuo fufū ia mei ho mata.
43 For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,
Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate koe, ʻe tanu puke ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili, ʻo takatakai koe, mo kāpui koe, pea tāpuni ko e mei he potu kotoa pē.
44 And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.
Pea ʻe holoki hifo ko e ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele, mo hoʻo fānau ʻiate koe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ʻiate koe ha maka [kuo fokotuʻu ]ki ha maka; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae kuonga ʻo ho ʻaʻahi ʻanga.”
45 And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there,
Pea naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ai;
46 Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.
‌ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ko e falelotu:’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ‘ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.’”
47 And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death;
Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ka naʻe holi ke tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai.
48 But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā te nau fai: he kuo tokanga lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
