Luke 14

1 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ʻoe kau Fālesi ke kai mā ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, naʻa nau lamasi ia.

And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of ye chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him.

2 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi hono ʻao ha tangata naʻe fulavai.

And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.

3 Pea lea ʻa Sisu ki he kau akonaki ʻi he fono mo e kau Fālesi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ngofua ke fakamoʻui ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”

And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye?

4 Pea nau fakalongo pe. Pea ne ʻomi ʻo fakamoʻui ia, pea tukuange ke ʻalu;

And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo:

5 Pea leaange ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu kapau ʻe tō ʻene ʻasi pe ko ʻene pulu ki ha luo, ʻe ʻikai toʻo leva ia [mei ai ]ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?”

and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?

6 Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tali ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni.

And they coulde not answer him agayne to that.

7 Pea ʻi heʻene vakai kiate kinautolu naʻe tala [ki ai], ʻoku nau fili ki he ngaahi potu lelei, pea ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu.

He put forthe a similitude to ye gestes whe he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto the:

8 “ʻOka tala kiate koe ʻe ha taha [ke ke ʻalu ]ki he taʻane, ʻoua naʻa ke nofo hifo ʻi ha potu māʻolunga ʻaupito; telia kuo tala ʻe ia ki ha taha ʻoku lahi ʻiate koe;

When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in ye hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him

9 Pea haʻu ia, ʻaia ne ne tala kiate koe mo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate koe, ‘Fakaʻataʻatā ki he tangata ni;’ pea ke toki mā ai, ʻo ʻalu ki he potu māʻulalo.

and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume.

10 Ka ʻoka tala kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi he potu māʻulalo: koeʻuhi ʻoka haʻu ia naʻe tala kiate koe, te ne pehē kiate koe, ‘Kāinga, ʻalu koe ki ʻolunga:’ pea te ke maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu ʻoku mou nofo ʻo kai.

But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.

11 He ko ia ia ʻoku hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivai ia; pea ko ia ʻoku fakavaivai ia, ʻe hakeakiʻi ia.”

For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted

12 Pea pehē ai foki ʻe ia kiate ia ne ne tala kiate ia, “ʻOka ke ka teuteu ʻae kai hoʻatā pe ʻae ʻohomohe, ʻoua naʻa ke ui [ki ai ]ho kaumeʻa, pe ho ngaahi temomo, pe ho kāinga, pe ko e kaungāʻapi koloaʻia, telia naʻa nau toe tala kiate koe, pea totongi ai kiate koe.

Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethre nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the.

13 Ka ʻoka ke ka teu ʻae kātoanga, ui ʻae kau masiva, mo e lavea, mo e pipiki, mo e kui:

But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde

14 ‌ʻE monūʻia ai ʻa koe; he ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa totongi kiate koe: ka ʻe totongi kiate koe ʻi he toetuʻu ʻoe angatonu.”

and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men.

15 Pea ko e tokotaha naʻe nofo ʻo kai mo ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE monūʻia ia ʻaia te ne kai mā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”

When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God.

16 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Naʻe te u ʻe he tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻae ʻohomohe lahi, ʻo ne tala [ia ]ki he tokolahi:

Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many

17 Pea hoko ʻae feituʻupō ke kai, pea ne fekau ʻene tamaioʻeiki ke fakahā kiate kinautolu naʻe tala ki ai, ‘Haʻu he kuo teuteu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.’

and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.

18 Pea naʻa nau loto taha kotoa pē ʻo kamata fakafisi. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻuluaki kiate ia, ‘Kuo u fakatau ʻae potu fonua, pea ʻoku ngali ke u ʻalu ʻo vakai ia:’ ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tukuange au.

And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused.

19 Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, ‘Kuo u fakatau ʻae taulua pulu ʻe nima, pea ʻoku ou ʻalu ko hono ʻahiʻahi: ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tukuange au.’

And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused.

20 Pea pehē ʻe he tokotaha, ‘Kuo u mali mo e fefine, pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa ʻalu ai:’

The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.

21 Pea liu mai ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo fakahā ki heʻene ʻeiki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni. Pea tuputāmaki ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻAlu fakavave ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa mo e ngaahi hala siʻi ʻoe kolo, ʻo ʻomi ki heni ʻae masiva, mo e mutu, mo e pipiki, mo e kui.’

And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.

22 Pea pehē ʻe he tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻEiki, kuo fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo fekau, ka ʻoku kei ʻataʻatā pe.’

And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume.

23 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻAlu ki he ngaahi hala motuʻa mo e ngaahi mangaʻi hala, ʻo fakaafeʻi ʻakinautolu ke haʻu, kae fonu ai hoku fale.

And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled.

24 He ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai ko ia naʻe tala ki ai te ne kamata ʻeku ʻohomohe.’”

For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper.

25 Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae fuʻu kakai, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu,

Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:

26 “Kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha kiate au, kae ʻikai fehiʻa ki heʻene tamai, mo e faʻē, mo e uaifi, mo e fānau, mo e ngaahi tokoua, mo e ngaahi tuofefine, ʻio, ki heʻene moʻui foki, ʻe ʻikai siʻi hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.

If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple.

27 Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fua ʻene ʻakau māfasia, ʻo muimui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai siʻi hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.

And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28 He Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku te u langa ha fale, kae ʻikai tomuʻa nofo hifo ia ʻo lau hono totongi, pe ʻoku ʻiate ia ke faʻa fakaʻosi ʻaki?

Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it?

29 Telia naʻa hili hono ʻai ʻae tuʻunga, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne faʻa fakaʻosi[ia], ʻe kamata manuki kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻe mamata [ai],

lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him

30 ‌ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e tangata eni naʻe kamata fokotuʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakaʻosi.’

sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.

31 Pe ko e tuʻi fē ʻoku te u tau ki ha tuʻi ʻe taha, ʻoku ʻikai ke tomuʻa nofo hifo, ʻo fakakaukau pe te ne faʻa tauʻi ʻaki ʻae toko mano, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu kiate ia mo e toko ua mano?

Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt. xx thousand.

32 Pea ka ʻikai, ʻoku ne kouna ha talafekau, ʻi he kei mamaʻo ʻae tokotaha, ʻo kole ke na fakalelei.

Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace.

33 Pea ʻoku pehē foki, ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻikai te ne siʻaki ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ko ʻeku ākonga.

So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple.

34 “ʻOku lelei ʻae māsima: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, ʻe [toe ]fakakona ia mei fē?

Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?

35 ‌ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ia ki he kelekele, pe ki he tuʻunga ʻotoʻota; ka ʻoku lī ia kituʻa. Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”

It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare.
