Luke 10
1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakanofo ʻe he ʻEiki ʻae toko fitungofulu kehe, ʻo ne fekau ke nau ō, ʻo tautau toko ua, ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kolo mo e potu kotoa pē ʻe ʻalu ia ki ai.
After this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them before Him, by twos, to go to every town or place which He Himself intended to visit.
2 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi ʻae taʻu, kae tokosiʻi ʻae kau ngāue: ko ia mou kole ai ki he ʻEiki ʻoe taʻu, ke ne fekau atu ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene taʻu.
And He addressed them thus: "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few: therefore entreat the Owner of the harvest to send out more reapers into His fields. And now go.
3 Mou ō: pea vakai, ʻoku ou tuku atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga lami ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi.
Remember that I am sending you out as lambs into the midst of wolves.
4 ʻOua naʻa toʻo ha kato paʻanga, pe ha kato kai pe ha topuvaʻe; pea ʻoua ʻe fetapa ki ha taha ʻi he hala.
Carry no purse, bag, nor change of shoes; and salute no one on your way."
5 Pea ko e fale ko ia te mou hū ki ai, mou tomuʻa lea, ‘Ke ʻi he fale ni ʻae fiemālie.’
"Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!'
6 Pea kapau ʻe ʻi ai ʻae foha ʻoe fiemālie, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou fakafiemālie; pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, ʻe toe hoko ia kiate kimoutolu.
And if there is a lover of peace there, your peace shall rest upon it; otherwise come back upon you.
7 Pea mou nofo ʻi he fale ko ia, ʻo kai mo inu ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa tenau ʻomi; he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu haʻane tauhi. Pea ʻoua naʻa fehufaki ki he ngaahi fale.
And in that same house stay, eating and drinking at their table; for the labourer deserves his wages. Do not move from one house to another.
8 Pea ko e kolo ko ia te mou hū ki ai, pea nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou kai ʻae ngaahi meʻa te nau ʻomi kiate kimoutolu.
"And whatever town you come to and they receive you, eat what they put before you.
9 Pea fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi ai, pea mou pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Kuo ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
Cure the sick in that town, and tell them, "'The Kingdom of God is now at your door.'
10 Ka ko e kolo te mou hū ki ai, pea ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu, mou ō ki hono ngaahi hala, ʻo lea [pehē],
"But whatever town you come to and they will not receive you, go out into the broader streets and say,
11 ‘Naʻa mo e efu ʻo hoʻomou kolo, ʻaia ʻoku pikitai kiate kimautolu, ʻoku mau tūtuuʻi [ia ]kiate kimoutolu: ka mou ʻilo pau ʻae meʻa ni, kuo hoko ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.’
"'The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. Only be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.'
12 Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻa Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
"I tell you that it will be more endurable for Sodom on the great day than for that town.
13 “ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Petesaita! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitoni ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala, ʻonau nofo mo e tauangaʻa ʻi he efuefu.
"Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! For had the miracles been performed in Tyre and Sidon which have been performed in you, long ere now they would have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Ka ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitoni ʻae fakamaau, ʻiate kimoutolu.
However, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more endurable at the Judgement than for you.
And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be lifted high as Heaven? Thou shalt be driven down as low as Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Ko ia ʻoku fanongo kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku fanongo ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ne liʻaki au; pea ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki au, ʻoku ne liʻaki ia kuo ne fekau au.”
"He who listens to you listens to me; and he who disregards you disregards me, and he who disregards me disregards Him who sent me."
17 Pea naʻe liliu mai ʻae toko fitungofulu ʻi he fiefia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo vaivai ʻae kau tēvolo kiate kimautolu ʻi ho huafa.”
When the Seventy returned, they exclaimed joyfully, "Master, even the demons submit to us when we utter your name."
18 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Naʻaku mamata ki he hinga ʻa Sētane ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhila mei he langi.
"I saw Satan fall like a lightning-flash out of Heaven," He replied.
19 Vakai, ʻoku ou foaki ʻae mālohi kiate kimoutolu ke malaki hifo ʻae ngaahi ngata, mo e sikopio, pea mo e mālohi kotoa pē ʻoe fili: pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ha meʻa ʻe lavea ai ʻakimoutolu.
"I have given you power to tread serpents and scorpions underfoot, and to trample on all the power of the Enemy; and in no case shall anything do you harm.
20 Kae ʻoua naʻa fiefia ʻi he meʻa ni, koeʻuhi kuo vaivai ʻae kau laumālie kiate kimoutolu; ka mou fiefia muʻa koeʻuhi kuo tohi homou hingoa ʻi he langi.”
Nevertheless rejoice not at this, that the spirits submit to you; but rejoice that your names are registered in Heaven."
21 Naʻe fiefia ʻa Sisu ʻi hono laumālie ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale: ke pehē, ʻE Tamai; he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
On that same occasion Jesus was filled by the Holy Spirit with rapturous joy. "I give Thee fervent thanks," He exclaimed, "O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that Thou hast hidden these things from sages and men of understanding, and hast revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for such has been Thy gracious will.
22 Kuo tuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe ha taha pe ko hai ʻae ʻAlo, ka ko e Tamai [pe]; pe ko hai ʻae Tamai, ka ko e ʻAlo [pe], pea mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.”
All things are delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son, and he to whom the Son may choose to reveal Him."
23 Pea naʻe tafoki ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo lea fufū, [ʻo pehē], “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae mata ʻoku mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai:
And He turned towards His disciples and said to them apart, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!
24 He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe tokolahi ʻae kau palōfita mo e ngaahi tuʻi naʻe holi ke mamata ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou mamata ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata; pea fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou fanongo ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo [ai].”
For I tell you that many Prophets and kings have desired to see the things you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things you hear, and have not heard them."
25 Pea vakai, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ko e hā te u fai ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?” (aiōnios g166)
Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question. "Rabbi," he asked, "what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo tohi ʻi he fono? ʻOku fēfē haʻo lau?”
"Go to the Law," said Jesus; "what is written there? how does it read?"
27 Pea lea ia, ʻo ne pehēange, “‘Ke ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa; pea ki ho kaungāʻapi, ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’”
"'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" he replied, "'with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole strength, and thy whole mind; and thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
28 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo ke lea totonu: fai eni, pea te ke moʻui.”
"A right answer," said Jesus; "do that, and you shall live."
29 Ka ʻi heʻene fie fakatonuhia ia, naʻa ne pehē kia Sisu, “Ko hai hoku kaungāʻapi?”
But he, desiring to justify himself, said, "But what is meant by my 'fellow man'?"
30 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema ki Seliko, pea moʻua ia ki he kau kaihaʻa, pea naʻa nau vete ʻiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, mo taaʻi ia, pea nau ʻalu mei ai kuo ne mei mate.
Jesus replied, "A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell among robbers, who after both stripping and beating him went away, leaving him half dead.
31 Mo ʻene ʻalu ange ha taulaʻeiki ʻi he hala ko ia; pea mamata ia ki ai, pea ne ʻalu ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
Now a priest happened to be going down that way, and on seeing him passed by on the other side.
32 Pea mo ha Livaite foki, kuo hoko ia ki he potu, pea haʻu ʻo mamata, pea ʻalu ia ki he kau hala ʻe taha.
In like manner a Levite also came to the place, and seeing him passed by on the other side.
33 Ka naʻe fononga ha tangata Samēlia, pea hoko ia ki he potu naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea ne manavaʻofa lahi,
But a certain Samaritan, being on a journey, came where he lay, and seeing him was moved with pity.
34 ʻO ne ʻalu ange, ʻo nonoʻo hono lavea, pea lilingi ki ai ʻae lolo mo e uaine, pea ne fakaheka ia ki heʻene manu, ʻo ne ʻomi ia ki he fale talifononga, ʻo ne tauhi ia.
He went to him, and dressed his wounds with oil and wine and bound them up. Then placing him on his own mule he brought him to an inn, where he bestowed every care on him.
35 Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene ʻalu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae tenali ʻe ua, ʻo ʻatu ki he matāpule, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, ‘Ke ke tauhi ia; pea ko ia kotoa pē te ke toe ange [maʻana], te u totongi kiate koe, ʻo kau ka toe haʻu.’
The next day he took out two shillings and gave them to the innkeeper. "'Take care of him,' he said, 'and whatever further expense you are put to, I will repay it you at my next visit.'
36 ʻOku ke mahalo, Ko hai ʻi he toko tolu ni naʻe kaungāʻapi kiate ia naʻe moʻua ki he kau kaihaʻa?”
"Which of those three seems to you to have acted like a fellow man to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ia ne ne fai ʻofa kiate ia.” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke fai pehē pe.”
"The one who showed him pity," he replied. "Go," said Jesus, "and act in the same way."
38 Pea pehē, kuo nau fononga, pea ne hoko ki he potu kakai ʻe taha, pea ko e fefine ko Māʻata hono hingoa, ne ne maʻu ia ki hono fale.
As they pursued their journey He came to a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him to her house.
39 Pea naʻe ai ʻa hono tokoua naʻe ui ko Mele, naʻe nofo foki ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo fanongo ki heʻene lea.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to His teaching.
40 Ka kuo femouʻekina ʻa Māʻata ʻi he tauhi lahi, pea ne haʻu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku tokoua ke u ngāue tokotaha pe? Ko ia ke ke fekau ia ke tokoni au.”
Martha meanwhile was busy and distracted in waiting at table, and she came and said, "Master, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do all the waiting? Tell her to assist me."
41 Pea tala ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehēange kiate ia, “Māʻata, Māʻata, ʻoku ke femouʻekina mo fetokangaʻaki ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
"Martha, Martha," replied Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about a multitude of things;
42 ka ko e meʻa pe taha ʻoku ʻaonga: pea kuo fili ʻe Mele ʻae meʻa lelei, ʻaia ʻe ʻikai toʻo meiate ia.”
and yet only one thing is really necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
