Luke 15
1 Then resorted vnto him all ye publicas and synners for to heare him.
Pea naʻe feʻunui atu ai kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau angahala kotoa pē, ke fanongo kiate ia.
2 And the pharises and scribes murmured sayinge: He receaved to his copany synners and eateth with them.
Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he tangata ni ʻae kau angahala, ʻo kai mo kinautolu.”
3 Then put he forthe this similitude to the sayinge:
Pea ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
4 What man of you havynge an hundred shepe yf he loose one of thee doth not leve nynty and nyne in the wyldernes and goo after yt which is loost vntyll he fynde him?
“Ko hai ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku teau ʻene sipi, pea ka mole honau taha, ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae hivangofulu ma hiva ʻi he toafa, kae ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻaia kuo mole, kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ia?
5 And whe he hath founde him he putteth him on his shulders with ioye:
Pea ka ʻiloʻi ʻe ia, ʻoku ne hili ia ki hono uma, pea fiefia.
6 And assone as he cometh home he calleth to gedder his lovers and neghbours sayinge vnto them: reioyse with me for I have founde my shepe which was loost.
Pea ka haʻu ia ki ʻapi, ʻoku ne ui ke fakataha ʻae kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi, ʻone pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Tau fiefia mo au, he kuo u ʻilo ʻa ʻeku sipi ʻaia naʻe mole.’
7 I say vnto you yt lyke wyse ioye shalbe in heven over one synner yt repenteth moore then over nynety and nyne iuste persons whiche nede noo repentauce.
ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE pehē foki ʻae fiefia ʻi he langi ʻo lahi ʻi he fakatomala ʻae angahala ʻe tokotaha, ʻi he angatonu ʻe toko hivangofulu ma toko hiva, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke nau fakatomala.
8 Ether what woman havynge. x. grotes yf she loose one doth not lyght a candell and swepe ye housse and seke diligently tyll she fynde it?
“Pea ko hai ha fefine ʻoku hongofulu ʻene paʻanga siliva, pea ka mole ha paʻanga ʻe taha, ʻe ʻikai te ne tutu ʻae maama, mo tafi ʻae fale, ʻo kumi lahi, kaeʻoua ke ʻilo ia?
9 And when she hath founde it she calleth her lovers and her neghbours sayinge: Reioyce wt me for I have founde the groate which I had loost.
Pea ka ʻilo[ia], ʻoku ne ui ke fakataha ʻae kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Tau fiefia mo au, he kuo u ʻilo ʻae paʻanga naʻe mole ʻiate au.’
10 Lykwyse I saye vnto you ioye is made in ye presence of ye angels of god over one synner yt repenteth.
ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku pehē ʻae fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakatomala ʻae angahala ʻe tokotaha.”
11 And he sayde: a certayne man had two sonnes
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻe toko ua hono foha.
12 and the yonger of them sayde to his father: father geve me my parte of the goodes yt to me belongeth. And he devided vnto them his substaunce.
Pea pehē ʻe he kimui ki heʻene tamai, ‘Tamai, tuku mai haku tufakanga ʻi he koloa ʻoku ʻaʻaku.’ Pea ne vaeua kiate kinaua ʻa ʻene meʻa.
13 And not longe after ye yonger sonne gaddered all that he had to gedder and toke his iorney into a farre countre and theare he wasted his goodes with royetous lyvinge.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho siʻi, naʻe tānaki ʻe he foha ki mui ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fononga ki he fonua mamaʻo, ʻo maumauʻi ai ʻene koloa ʻi heʻene moʻui angakovi.
14 And when he had spent all that he had ther rose a greate derth thorow out all yt same londe and he began to lacke.
Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia kotoa pē, naʻe tō ʻae honge lahi ki he fonua ko ia; pea hoko ia ʻo fiekaia.
15 And he went and clave to a citesyn of yt same countre which sent him to his felde to kepe his swyne.
Pea ʻalu ia ʻo nofo ki he tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻoe fonua ko ia; pea ne fekau ia ki hono potu fonua ke tauhi ʻae fanga puaka.
16 And he wold fayne have filled his bely with the coddes that ye swyne ate: and noo man gave him.
Pea naʻe feinga ia ke fakamākona ʻaki ia ʻae ngeʻesi naʻe kai ʻe he fanga puaka: he naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe foaki kiate ia.
17 Then he came to him selfe and sayde: how many hyred servauntes at my fathers have breed ynough and I dye for honger.
“Pea kuo poto ia, pea ne pehē, ‘ʻOku toko fiha ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki totongi ʻa ʻeku tamai kuo lahi mo toe ʻenau mā, ka ʻoku ou mate ʻi he fiekaia!
18 I will aryse and goo to my father and will saye vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and before ye
Te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamai, pea te u pehē kiate ia, “Tamai, kuo u fai angahala ki he langi, pea ʻi ho ʻao;
19 and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne make me as one of thy hyred servauntes.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻaonga ke ui ko ho foha; ka ke tuku au ke u tatau mo ha taha ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki totongi.”’
20 And he arose and went to his father. And when he was yet a greate waye of his father sawe him and had compassion and ran and fell on his necke and kyssed him.
“Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻene tamai. Ka ʻi heʻene kei mamaʻo ʻaupito, naʻe mamata ʻa ʻene tamai kiate ia, pea manavaʻofa, mo lele, pea fāʻufua ia, ʻo ʻuma kiate ia.
21 And the sonne sayd vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and in thy sight and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne.
Pea pehē ʻe he foha kiate ia, ‘Tamai, kuo u angahala ki he langi, pea ʻi ho ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻaonga ke ui ko ho foha.’
22 But his father sayde to his servautes: bringe forth that best garment and put it on him and put a rynge on his honde and showes on his fete.
“Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he tamai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻOmi ʻae pulupulu fungani lelei, ʻo ʻai kiate ia; pea ʻai mo e mama ki hono nima, mo e topuvaʻe ki hono vaʻe:
23 And bringe hidder that fatted caulfe and kyll him and let vs eate and be mery:
Pea ʻomi ki heni ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]; pea ke tau kai, mo fiefia:
24 for this my sonne was deed and is alyve agayne he was loste and is now founde. And they began to be merye.
He ko hoku foha eni naʻe mate, pea kuo toe moʻui; naʻe mole ia, pea kuo ʻiloʻi.’ Pea naʻa nau kamata fiefia.
25 The elder brother was in the felde and when he cam and drewe nye to ye housse he herde minstrelcy and daunsynge
“Pea naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ʻuluaki foha; pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki he fale, naʻe fanongo ia ki he meʻa faiva mo e meʻe.
26 and called one of his servauntes and axed what thoose thinges meate.
Pea naʻa ne ui ki ha taha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻone fehuʻi ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
27 And he sayd vnto him: thy brother is come and thy father had kylled ye fatted caulfe because he hath receaved him safe and sounde.
Pea ne tala kiate ia, ‘Kuo haʻu ho tehina; pea kuo tāmateʻi ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino,’ koeʻuhi kuo ne maʻu ia ʻoku moʻui lelei pe.
28 And he was angry and wolde not goo in. Then came his father out and entreated him.
Ka naʻe ʻita ia, pea ʻikai ʻalu ki ai: ko ia naʻe haʻu ai kituʻa ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻo fakakolekole kiate ia.
29 He answered and sayde to his father: Loo these many yeares have I done the service nether brake at eny tyme thy commaundment and yet gavest thou me never soo moche as a kyd to make mery wt my lovers:
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange ki heʻene tamai, ‘Vakai, ko e ngaahi taʻu lahi ni mo ʻeku tauhiʻi koe, pea naʻe ʻikai teu talangataʻa ki hoʻo fekau ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ke foaki kiate au ha ʻuhikiʻi kosi, koeʻuhi ke u fakafiefia ai mo hoku kāinga.
30 but assone as this thy sonne was come which hath devoured thy goodes with harlootes thou haste for his pleasure kylled ye fatted caulfe.
Ka kuo haʻu leva ho foha ko eni, ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi hoʻo koloa mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki, pea ke tāmateʻi maʻana ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino.’
31 And he sayd vnto him: Sonne thou wast ever with me and all that I have is thyne:
“Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Foha, ʻoku ta nofomaʻu mo au, pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.
32 it was mete that we shuld make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed and is a lyve agayne: and was loste and is founde.
Naʻe taau ʻemau fakafiefia mo nekeneka: he ko ho tehina eni naʻe mate, ka kuo toe moʻui ia; pea naʻe mole, ka kuo ʻilo ia.’”
