Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and other sinners were coming to Jesus to listen to him.
Pea naʻe feʻunui atu ai kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau angahala kotoa pē, ke fanongo kiate ia.
2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to each other, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and even eats 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 Jesus spoke this parable to them, saying,
Pea ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
4 “Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and then loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one until he finds it?
“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 Then when he has found it, he lays it across his shoulders and rejoices.
Pea ka ʻiloʻi ʻe ia, ʻoku ne hili ia ki hono uma, pea fiefia.
6 When he comes to the house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.'
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 to you that even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
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 Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she were to lose one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found 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 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'
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 Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
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 Then Jesus said, “A certain man had two sons,
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻe toko ua hono foha.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of the wealth that falls to me.' So he divided his property between them.
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 Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he owned and went to a country far away, and there he wasted all his wealth by living recklessly.
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 Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine spread through that country, and he began to be in need.
Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia kotoa pē, naʻe tō ʻae honge lahi ki he fonua ko ia; pea hoko ia ʻo fiekaia.
15 He went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
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 He would gladly have eaten the carob pods that the pigs ate, because no one gave him anything.
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 But when the young son came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food, and I am here, dying from hunger!
“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 leave here and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
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 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.”'
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 So the young son left and came toward his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and embraced him and kissed 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 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
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 The father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
“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 Then bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us celebrate with a feast!
Pea ʻomi ki heni ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]; pea ke tau kai, mo fiefia:
24 For my son was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost, and now he is found.' Then they began to celebrate.
He ko hoku foha eni naʻe mate, pea kuo toe moʻui; naʻe mole ia, pea kuo ʻiloʻi.’ Pea naʻa nau kamata fiefia.
25 Now his older son was out in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
“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 He called to one of the servants and asked what these things might be.
Pea naʻa ne ui ki ha taha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻone fehuʻi ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
27 The servant said to him, 'Your brother has come home and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has returned safely.'
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 The older son was angry and would not go in, and his father came out and begged him.
Ka naʻe ʻita ia, pea ʻikai ʻalu ki ai: ko ia naʻe haʻu ai kituʻa ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻo fakakolekole kiate ia.
29 But the older son answered and said to his father, 'Look, these many years I slaved for you, and I never broke a rule of yours, and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends,
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 when your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fattened calf.'
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 The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
“Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Foha, ʻoku ta nofomaʻu mo au, pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.
32 But it was proper for us to feast and be happy, for this brother of yours was dead, and is now alive; he was lost, and has now been found.'”
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.’”
