Luke 13
1 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻae niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia, naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kau Kāleli, ʻakinautolu naʻe hui ʻaki ʻe Pailato honau toto ʻa ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau.
Just at that time people came to tell Him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Pea folofola ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou mahalo naʻe angahala lahi ʻae kau Kāleli ko ia ʻi he kakai Kāleli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa pehē kiate kinautolu?
"Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?
3 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
4 Pe ko e toko hongofulu ma toko valu ko ia, naʻe taʻomia ʻi he holo ʻae fale leʻo ʻo Seiloame, pea mate ai ʻakinautolu, ʻoku mou mahalo ko e kau angahala lahi taha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he kakai fulipē naʻe nofo ʻi Selūsalema?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?
5 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala, te mou malaʻia kotoa pē foki.”
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."
6 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki foki ʻae fakatātā ni; “Naʻe tō ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki; pea haʻu ia ʻo kumi fua mei ai, ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo[ia].
And He gave them the following parable. "A man," He said, "who had a fig-tree growing in his garden came to look for fruit on it and could find none.
7 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tauhi ngoue vaine, ‘Vakai, ko e taʻu ʻe tolu kuo u haʻu ʻo kumi fua ʻi he ʻakau ko e fiki ni, kae ʻikai ʻilo [ia]: tā hifo ia; ko e hā ʻoku ne fakataʻeʻaonga ai ʻae kelekele?’
So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'
8 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, tuku ai pe ia ʻi he taʻu ni foki, kaeʻoua ke u keli tākai, mo taufetuku [ki ai].
"But the gardener pleaded, "'Leave it, Sir, this year also, till I have dug round it and manured it.
9 Heiʻilo ʻe toki fua ia, pea kapau ʻe ʻikai, pea ke toki tā hifo ia.’”
If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"
10 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu ʻe taha ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues
11 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ha fefine naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie fakamahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu, pea naʻe mapelu ia ki lalo, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke faʻa tuʻu hake ia.
where a woman was present who for eighteen years had been a confirmed invalid: she was bent double, and was unable to lift herself to her full height.
12 Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ui [ia], mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Fefine, kuo veteki koe mei hoʻo mahaki.”
But Jesus saw her, and calling to her, He said to her, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 Pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate ia; pea naʻe toki tuʻu totonu leva ia, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
And He put His hands on her, and she immediately stood upright and began to give glory to God.
14 Pea lea ʻita ange ʻae pule ʻoe falelotu, koeʻuhi naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe Sisu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, “ʻOku ono ʻae ʻaho ʻoku totonu ke ngāue ai ʻae kakai: ko ia mou haʻu ai ke mou moʻui, kaeʻoua ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 Pea folofola ange ʻae ʻEiki, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko e mālualoi koe! ʻIkai ʻoku mou taki taha vete ʻene pulu, pe ko ʻene ʻasi, mei hono tuʻunga, ʻo tataki [ia ]ke fakainu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?
But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?
16 Pea ʻe ʻikai lelei ke vete ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, mei he haʻi ni, ʻae fefine ni, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻaia kuo haʻisia ʻe Sētane, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma valu ni?”
And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan had bound for no less than eighteen years, was she not to be loosed from this chain because it is the Sabbath day?"
17 Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ma hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē; kae fiefia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ongoongolelei kotoa pē kuo ne fai.
When He had said this, all His opponents were ashamed, while the whole multitude was delighted at the many glorious things continually done by Him.
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku tatau mo e hā ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua? Pea te u fakatatau ia ki he hā?
This prompted Him to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 ʻOku tatau ia mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata, ʻo lī ki heʻene ngoue, pea tupu ia, ʻo hoko ko e ʻakau lahi; pea nofo ai ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
It is like a mustard seed which a man drops into the soil in his garden, and it grows and becomes a tree in whose branches the birds roost."
20 Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Te u fakatatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ki he hā?
And again He said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 ʻOku tatau ia mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo fufū ʻi he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu ʻaki kotoa pē ia.”
It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
22 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo mo e potu kakai, ʻo ako, mo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
He was passing through town after town and village after village, steadily proceeding towards Jerusalem,
23 Pea toki pehē ʻe he tokotaha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ko e tokosiʻi [pe ]te nau moʻui?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"
24 “Fai feinga ke hū ʻi he matapā fāsiʻi: he ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kumi ʻe he tokolahi ke hū ki ai, kae ʻikai te nau mafai.
"Strain every nerve to force your way in through the narrow gate," He answered; "for multitudes, I tell you, will endeavour to find a way in and will not succeed.
25 Pea ka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea te mou tutuʻu leva ʻi he matapā ʻituʻa, ʻo tukituki, mo pehē [ai], ‘ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu;’ pea ʻe lea ia, ʻo pehē mai kiate kimoutolu, ‘ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē:’
As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'
26 Pea te mou lea leva, [ʻo pehē], ‘Naʻa mau kai mo inu ʻi ho ʻao, pea naʻa ke akonaki ʻi homau ngaahi hala.’
"Then you will plead, "'We have eaten and drunk in your company and you have taught in our streets.'
27 Ka ʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko hoʻomou haʻu mei fē; ʻalu ʻiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku fai angahala.’
"But He will reply, "'I tell you that you are no friends of mine. Begone from me, all of you, wrongdoers that you are.'
28 ʻE ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo, ʻoka mou ka mamata kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, mo e kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ka kuo kapusi ʻakimoutolu kituaʻā.
"There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.
29 Pea te nau haʻu mei he potu hahake mo hihifo, mei he tokelau mo e tonga, mo nau nofo hifo ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
30 Pea vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae ki mui te nau muʻomuʻa; pea ʻoku ai ʻae ki muʻa te nau muimui.”
And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."
31 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe, pea ke mole ʻi heni: he ʻoku loto ʻa Helota ke tāmateʻi koe.”
Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."
32 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō, ʻo tala ki he fokisi ko ia, ‘Vakai, ko e ʻaho ni mo e ʻapongipongi ʻoku ou kapusi ai ʻae kau tēvolo, mo fai ʻae fakamoʻui, pea ʻi hono [ʻaho ]tolu te u haohaoa.’
"Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "'See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.'
33 Ka ko e moʻoni teu ʻeveʻeva ʻi he ʻaho ni, mo e ʻapongipongi, mo e [ʻaho ]ʻoku hoko[mo ia]: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ha palōfita ka ʻi Selūsalema pe.
"Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 “ʻE Selūsalema, Selūsalema, ʻa Koe ʻoku ke tāmateʻi ʻae kau palōfita, mo ke lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinautolu kuo fekau kiate koe, kuo tuʻo fiha ʻeku fie tānaki fakataha hoʻo fānau, ʻo hangē[ko e tānaki ]ʻe he motuʻa moa hono ʻuhiki ʻi hono lalo kapakau, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou loto[ki ai].
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Vakai, kuo siʻaki homou fale kiate kimoutolu ke lala: pea ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te mou mamata kiate au, kaeʻoua ke mou pehē, ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki.’”
See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
