Luke 11
1 Pea naʻe pehē, naʻe lotu ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea hili ia, naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻEiki, akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke lotu, ʻo hangē ko e ako ʻa Sione ki heʻene kau ākonga.”
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka lotu, mou pehē, Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa. Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ʻa māmani ki ho finangalo, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Ke foaki mai kiate kimautolu haʻamau meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Pea ke fakamolemole kiate kimautolu ʻemau angahala; He ʻoku mau fakamolemole foki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angahala mai kiate kimautolu. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi; Kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi.”
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe ai hano kāinga, ʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻi he tuʻuapō, ʻo pehē ki ai, ‘Kāinga, ko ʻeku nō ʻae foʻi mā ʻe tolu;
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 He ko e kāinga ʻoʻoku kuo haʻu kiate au ʻi he fononga, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku meʻa ke tuku ki hono ʻao?’
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 Pea ʻe lea mai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto fale, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke fakafiuʻi au; kuo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea kuo mau ʻi he mohenga mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa tuʻu hake ʻo foaki kiate koe.’
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuʻu hake ia ʻo foaki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga ia, ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kole tāumaʻu, ʻe tuʻu hake ai ia, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene masiva.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 “Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kole, pea ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo kiate kimoutolu.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 He ko ia ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ʻe toʻo kiate ia ʻoku tukituki.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Ko e tamai fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻa hono foha, te ne ʻange ki ai ha maka? Pe ko e ika, ʻe tuku ʻae ika kae ʻatu ki ai ha ngata?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Pe ʻi heʻene kole ʻae foʻi manu, te ne ʻatu ki ai ha sikopio?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo, ka ko e angakovi, ke foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki hoʻomou fānau; ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe [fie ]foaki ʻe he Tamai ʻi he langi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?”
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Pea naʻe kapusi ʻae tēvolo, ʻaia naʻe noa. Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo, naʻe lea ʻae noa; pea ofo [ai ]ʻae kakai.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe honau niʻihi, “ʻOku ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Pea ʻahiʻahi ʻe he niʻihi, ʻonau kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mahalo, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē [ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ]ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e fale ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe holo ia.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 Pea kapau ʻe feʻiteʻitani ʻa Sētane kiate ia, ʻe tuʻu fēfē hono puleʻanga? He ʻoku mou pehē ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻia hai ʻe homou ngaahi foha? Ko ia ko hoʻomou kau fakamaau [ʻakinautolu].
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻaki ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe ʻOtua, tā kuo hoko moʻoni ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 “ʻOka leʻohi hono fale ʻe ha tangata mālohi mo e mahafutau, ʻoku malu pe ʻene ngaahi meʻa:
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Ka ʻi he hoko kiate ia ha taha ʻoku mālohi lahi, ʻo ikuʻi ia, ʻoku ne faʻao ʻa ʻene mahafu kotoa pē naʻe falala ia ki ai, pea tufaki ʻene meʻa.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 “Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku fakahē ʻe ia.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 “ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli ʻi ha tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he ngaahi potu mōmoa, ʻo kumi mālōlōʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo [ia]; pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale naʻaku haʻu mei ai.’
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, ʻoku ne ʻilo [ia ]kuo tafi mo teuteu.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Pea toki ʻalu ai ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku angahala lahi ʻiate ia; pea nau hū ʻo nofo ki ai: pea kovi lahi ʻa e [anga ]ki mui ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene [anga ]ʻi muʻa.
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 Pea pehē, naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo e kalanga mai ʻae fefine mei he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manāva naʻa ne fua ʻaki koe, pea mo e huhu naʻa ke huhū ai.”
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ka ʻoku monūʻia lahi hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea fai ki ai.”
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 Pea kuo lolofi mai ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea fua lea ia, [ʻo pehē], “Ko e toʻutangata angakovi eni; ʻoku nau kumi ʻae fakaʻilonga; ka ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 ʻO hangē ko e fakaʻilonga ʻa Siona ki he kakai Ninive, ʻe pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he toʻutangata ni.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi-fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia; he naʻe haʻu ia mei he potu mamaʻo ʻo māmani ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Solomone.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia: he naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne tutu ha maama, pea tuku [ia ]ki ha potu lilo, pe ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku hū ki ai.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 Ko e maama ʻoe sino ʻae mata: ko ia kapau ʻe haohaoa ho mata, ʻe pito foki ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama; ko ia kapau ʻoku kovi [ho mata], ʻe fonu foki ho sino ʻi he poʻuli.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Ko ia vakai naʻa hoko ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe koe poʻuli.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Ko ia kapau ʻe māmangia ho sino kotoa, pea taʻefakapoʻuli hano potu, ʻe māmangia kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e fakamaama ʻaki koe ʻae fuʻu ulo ʻoe maama.”
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene kole ʻae Fālesi ʻe tokotaha kiate ia ke na kai mo ia: pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻo nofo hifo ke kai.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 Pea ofo ʻae Fālesi ʻi heʻene mamata naʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa fanofano, pea toki kai.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku mou fakamaʻa ʻae tuʻa ipu inu mo e ipu kai, ka ʻoku fonu homou loto ʻi he fakamālohi mo e angakovi.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 ʻAe kau vale, ʻikai ko ia pe naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa, naʻe ngaohi foki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Ka mou foaki muʻa ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa mei he meʻa ʻoku mou maʻu; pea vakai, ʻoku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 “Kae malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou tukuhau ʻi he mini mo e pekano mo e ngaahi ʻakau iiki kotoa pē, ka ʻoku mou taʻetokanga ki he fakamaau mo e ʻofa ki he ʻOtua: naʻe totonu ke fai eni, kaeʻoua naʻa liʻaki ʻena.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou manako ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ko e mālualoi! He ʻoku mou tatau mo e ngaahi faʻitoka ʻoku ʻikai hā mai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo [ia ]ʻe he kakai ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ai.”
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Pea toki lea mai ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻi hoʻo pehē mai, ʻoku ke valoki ai ʻakimautolu foki.”
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu foki, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He ʻoku mou hili ki he kakai ʻae ngaahi kavenga ʻoku fakamamahi hono fua, ka ʻoku ʻikai ala ʻekimoutolu haʻamou tuhu ʻe taha ki he ngaahi kavenga.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu! He ʻoku mou langa ʻae ngaahi fonualoto ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fakamoʻoni ʻoku mou leleiʻia ʻi he faianga ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: he naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku mou langa honau ngaahi fonualoto.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Ko ia naʻe pehē ai foki ʻae poto ʻae ʻOtua, ‘Te u fekau atu kiate kinautolu ʻae kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, pea ko honau niʻihi te nau tāmateʻi mo fakatanga:’
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 Koeʻuhi ke ʻeke ki he toʻutangata ni ʻae toto ʻoe kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe lilingi talu mei he tupuʻanga ʻo māmani;
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 Mei he toto ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻo aʻu ki he toto ʻo Sakalaia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau mo e potu toputapu: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻeke ia mei he toʻutangata ni.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He kuo mou ʻave ʻae ki ʻoe ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou hū ki ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ko kinautolu naʻe teu ke hū ki ai naʻa mou taʻofi.”
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kinautolu, naʻe kamata fai fakamatalili mo langaʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ke ne lea ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 ʻO nau lamasi, mo kumi ke femioʻekina ia mei hono ngutu, koeʻuhi ke nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
