Luke 18
1 And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,
Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā, ʻoku lelei ke lotu maʻuaipē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa fiu;
2 Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻi he kolo ʻe taha ʻae fakamaau, naʻe ʻikai manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata.
3 And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.
Pea naʻe ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti; pea haʻu ia ki ai, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakamaau au mo totongi totonu ki hoku fili.’
4 And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,
Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga leva ia ki ai: kae toki fakakaukau ia, [ʻo pehē], ‘ʻOku ʻikai pe te u manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata;
5 Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.
Ka koeʻuhi ʻi he fakafiuʻi au ʻe he fefine ni kuo mate hono husepāniti, te u fakamaauʻi ia, telia ʻi heʻene faʻa haʻu te ne fakakinaʻi au.’”
6 And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Fanongo ki he lea ʻae fakamaau taʻeangatonu.
7 Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?
Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono kakai ʻoʻona kuo fili, ʻaia ʻoku tangi kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo kapau ʻe fakatuotuai ia kiate kinautolu?
8 I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?
ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fakamaau vave ʻe ia ʻakinautolu. Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, te ne ʻilo ʻae tui ʻi he fonua?”
9 He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.
Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he niʻihi naʻa nau falala kiate kinautolu kuo nau māʻoniʻoni, mo nau manukiʻi ʻae kakai kehe:
10 Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.
“Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ongo tangata ki he falelotu lahi ke lotu; ko e tokotaha ko e Fālesi, pea ko e tānaki tukuhau ʻae tokotaha.
11 The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.
Naʻe tuʻu atu pe ʻae Fālesi, pea lotu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ko e kau tangata kehe, ke fakamālohi, mo taʻeangatonu, mo tono fefine, pe hangē ko e tānaki tukuhau ni.
12 I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.
ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukai ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻatu ʻae tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fulipē.’
13 But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.
Ka naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu ʻae tānaki tukuhau, pea ʻikai faʻa hanga hake hono mata ki he langi, ka naʻe si fatafata ia, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.’
14 I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.
ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae tangata ni ki hono fale kuo fakatonuhia ia, ka ʻikai pehē ʻae tokotaha: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ia, ʻe hiki hake ia.”
15 They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi foki kiate ia ʻae tamaiki iiki, koeʻuhi ke ne ala kiate kinautolu: ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, naʻa nau lolomi ʻakinautolu.
16 But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
Ka naʻe ui ʻe Sisu ke nau haʻu, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku pe ʻae tamaiki iiki ke haʻu kiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻakinautolu: he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
17 Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hū ia ki ai.”
18 Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
Pea toki fehuʻi ʻae matāpule ʻe taha kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā te u fai ke u hoko ai ki he moʻui taʻehili?” (aiōnios g166)
19 And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei, ʻaia ko e ʻOtua.
20 Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.
ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi,’ ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē.’”
21 And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku siʻi.”
22 Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki he ngaahi lea ni, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ke kei hala ai: fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻau, ʻo tufaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ʻae ʻene koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.”
23 But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.
Pea kuo fanongo ia ki ai, naʻa ne mamahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
24 And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu kuo mamahi ʻaupito ia, pea ne pehē, “ʻE faingataʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻoku koloaʻia ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25 Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.
He ʻoku faingofua hake ʻae hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻae ʻOtua!
26 Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
27 And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku mafai ia ʻe he ʻOtua.”
28 Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.
Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita, “Vakai, kuo mau liaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe.”
29 And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,
Pea ne pehe kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata kuo liʻaki ʻe ia ai fale, pea ʻae mātuʻa, pe ko e ngaahi kāinga, pe ko e uaifi, pe ʻae fānau, koeʻuhi ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
31 Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.
Pea ne omi ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻe he kau palōfita.
32 For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.
He koeʻuhi ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile, pea ʻe manukiʻi ia, mo fai meʻa kovi kiate ia, mo ʻaʻanu ki ai:
33 And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.
Pea te nau kauʻimaea mo tāmateʻi ia: pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toetuʻu ia.”
34 But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; pea naʻe puli ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ni, ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo lea ʻaki.
35 And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging.
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ofi atu ki Seliko, naʻe nofo ʻi he veʻehala ʻae tangata kui ʻo kole:
36 And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant.
Pea fanongo ia ki he ʻalu ange ʻae fononga, pea fehuʻi ia ki hono ʻuhinga.
37 And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.
Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti” ʻoku ʻalu ange.
38 Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Pea kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
39 And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe muʻomuʻa naʻa nau lolomi ia, ke tuku ʻene longoaʻa: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene kalanga, “Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
40 And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him,
Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fekau ke ʻomi ia kiate ia: pea kuo ʻunu mai ia ʻo ofi, pea ne fehuʻi ange kiate ia,
41 Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight.
ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā ho loto ke u fai kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā hoku mata.”
42 And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ke ʻā ho mata: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
43 Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God.
Pea ʻā fakafokifā pe ia, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea fakamālō ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
