Luke 18
1 AND he spake also a parable to them, that in all time (men) should pray and not weary.
Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā, ʻoku lelei ke lotu maʻuaipē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa fiu;
2 There was a judge in a certain city who of Aloha was not afraid, and of men was not regardful.
ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻi he kolo ʻe taha ʻae fakamaau, naʻe ʻikai manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata.
3 But a certain widow was in that city, who came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
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 he was not willing long time; but afterward he said within himself, If of Aloha I am not afraid, and of men am not regardful,
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 widow wearies me, I will avenge her, that in all time she come not molesting me.
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 our Lord said, Hear what saith the unrighteous judge.
Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Fanongo ki he lea ʻae fakamaau taʻeangatonu.
7 But shall not Aloha do vengeance for his chosen, who cry to him by day and by night, and prolong his spirit towards 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 avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man shall come, will he find faith upon 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 And he spake this parable against some who trusted in themselves that they were just, and despised all (men):
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 up to the temple to pray, the one a Pharisha, 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 and, behold, the Pharisha stood (and) within himself these words prayed: Aloha, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious and unjust, and adulterers; nor 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 But I fast twice in the week, and tithe whatever I possess.
ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukai ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻatu ʻae tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fulipē.’
13 But that publican stood from afar, and would not even his eyes lift up to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, Aloha, be merciful 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 that this one went down justified to his house, rather than that Pharisha. For every man who exalteth himself shall be humbled, and every one who humbleth himself shall be 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 Then they brought to him infants, that he should touch them: and the disciples saw it, and 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 Jeshu called them, and said to them, Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these,
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 of them is the kingdom of heaven. Amen I say to you, That whoever does not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.
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 AND one of the rulers asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal 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 Jeshu saith to him, Why callest thou me good, and none is good but one, Aloha?
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 The commandments thou knowest, Thou shalt not kill, and, Thou shalt not commit adultery, and, Thou shalt not steal, and, Thou shalt not witness false testimony, 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 He saith to him, These all have I kept from my childhood.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku siʻi.”
22 But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me.
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 he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.
Pea kuo fanongo ia ki ai, naʻa ne mamahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
24 And when Jeshu saw that he was grieved, he said, How difficult is it to those who have riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!
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 It is easier for a camel into the aperture of a needle to enter, than the rich into the kingdom of Aloha.
He ʻoku faingofua hake ʻae hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻae ʻOtua!
26 They who heard said to him, And who can be saved?
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
27 But Jeshu said, Those (things) which with the sons of men are not possible, with Aloha are possible to be done.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku mafai ia ʻe he ʻOtua.”
28 Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee.
Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita, “Vakai, kuo mau liaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe.”
29 Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha,
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 AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.
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 will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face,
He koeʻuhi ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile, pea ʻe manukiʻi ia, mo fai meʻa kovi kiate ia, mo ʻaʻanu ki ai:
33 and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise.
Pea te nau kauʻimaea mo tāmateʻi ia: pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toetuʻu ia.”
34 But not one of these understood they: for this word was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.
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 as he drew nigh to Jirichu, a certain blind man was sitting by the road-side, and begging.
Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ofi atu ki Seliko, naʻe nofo ʻi he veʻehala ʻae tangata kui ʻo kole:
36 And he heard the voice of the multitude as it was passing, and asked what was this.
Pea fanongo ia ki he ʻalu ange ʻae fononga, pea fehuʻi ia ki hono ʻuhinga.
37 They say to him, Jeshu Natsroya passeth.
Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti” ʻoku ʻalu ange.
38 And he cried and said, Jeshu bar David, have mercy on me!
Pea kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
39 And they who went before Jeshu rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy 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 Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should lead him unto him. And when he, approached him, he asked him and said to 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 What wilt thou I shall do for thee? And he said, My Lord, that I may see.
ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā ho loto ke u fai kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā hoku mata.”
42 And Jeshu said to him, See! thy faith hath saved thee.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ke ʻā ho mata: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
43 And in an instant he saw, and came after him, and glorified Aloha: and all the people, when they saw, gave praise to Aloha.
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.
