Luke 17
1 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “ʻE ʻikai mafai ke taʻofi ʻae hoko ʻoe ngaahi fakahala: ka ʻe malaʻia ia ʻoku hoko mei ai ia!”
Jesus said to his disciples, “Temptations are unavoidable, but it will be a disaster for those through whom they come!
2 ʻOku lelei kiate ia ʻoka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lī ki he moana, ʻi heʻene fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi.
For such people it would be better to have a millstone hung around the neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause these little ones to sin.
3 Mou vakai kiate kimoutolu: “Kapau ʻe fai angahala kiate koe ʻe ho kāinga, valoki ia; pea kapau ʻe fakatomala, fakamolemole ia.
So take care what you do. If your brother sins, warn him; and if he repents, forgive him.
4 Pea kapau ʻe fai angahala ʻe ia kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi ha ʻaho, kae tafoki ia kiate koe ʻo liunga fitu ʻi ha ʻaho, mo pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou fakatomala;’ ke ke fakamolemole ia.”
Even if he sins against you seven times a day, and seven times comes back and tells you, ‘I'm really sorry,’ forgive him.”
5 Pea pehē ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ki he ʻEiki, “Fakalahi ʻemau tui.”
The apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to have more trust!”
6 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Ka ne mou maʻu ʻae tui ke tatau mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, te mou lea ki he ʻakau ko e sukamino ni, ‘Ke mataʻaki fuʻu hake koe, pea tō koe ʻi he tahi;’ pea ʻe talangofua ia kiate kimoutolu.
The Lord replied, “Even if your trust was as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Uproot yourself, and plant yourself in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 Ka ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ai ʻene tamaioʻeiki, ʻoku keli pe tauhimanu, ʻe pehē leva ki ai, ʻoka haʻu ia mei he ngoue, ‘Haʻu koe ʻo nofo hifo ke kai?’
Say you have a servant who does plowing or shepherding. When he comes in from work, do you say to him, ‘Come in and sit down now for a meal’?
8 Kae ʻikai pehē muʻa ki ai, ‘Teuteu haku ʻohomohe, pea ke nonoʻo koe, ʻo tauhi au, kaeʻoua ke u kai mo inu; pea hili ia te ke toki kai koe mo inu?’
No. You say to him, ‘Prepare a meal for me, get yourself dressed, and serve me until I've finished my meal. After that you can have your meal.’
9 ʻOku fakafetaʻi ʻe ia ki he tamaioʻeiki ko ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fekau kiate ia? ʻOku ou pehē ʻoku ʻikai.
And do you thank the servant for doing what you told him? No.
10 Pea ke pehē foki ʻakimoutolu, ʻoka ʻosi hono fai ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē kuo fekau kiate kimoutolu, mou pehē, ‘Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki taʻeʻaonga ʻakimautolu: kuo mau fai ʻaia naʻe totonu pe ke mau fai.’”
Likewise once you've done everything you were told, you should simply say, ‘We are undeserving servants. We just did our duty.’”
11 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki Selūsalema, naʻe fononga atu ia ʻi Samēlia mo Kāleli.
As Jesus continued on his way to Jerusalem, he passed along the border between Samaria and Galilee.
12 Pea ʻi heʻene hū ki he potu kakai ʻe taha, naʻe fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae kau tangata kilia ʻe toko hongofulu, pea nau tutuʻu mamaʻo atu:
As he entered a particular village, ten lepers met him, standing at a distance.
13 Pea naʻa nau kalanga leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, ʻEiki, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimautolu.”
They called out, “Jesus, Master, please have mercy on us.”
14 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ō, ʻo fakahā ʻakimoutolu ki he kau taulaʻeiki.” Pea pehē, ʻi heʻenau ʻalu naʻe fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
When Jesus saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” On their way there, they were healed.
15 Pea naʻe foki mai honau tokotaha, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo fakamoʻui ia, ʻo ne fakamālō ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi ki he ʻOtua,
One of them when he saw that he was healed, returned to Jesus, shouting praises to God.
16 ʻO fakafoʻohifo ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻi he fakafetaʻi kiate ia: ka ko e Samēlia ia.
He fell down at Jesus' feet, thanking him. He was a Samaritan.
17 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻIkai naʻe fakamaʻa ʻae toko hongofulu? Ka kofaʻā ʻae toko hiva?
“Weren't ten lepers healed?” Jesus asked. “Where are the other nine?
18 ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloa ke foki mai ha taha ke fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ka ko e muli ni pe.”
Didn't anyone else come back to praise God—only this foreigner?”
19 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea ke ʻalu: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
Jesus told the man, “Get up and go on your way. Your trust has healed you.”
20 Pea ʻi he ʻeke ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, pe ʻe hoko ʻafē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, naʻe leaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai hoko ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua mo e fakaongongoa[ki ai]:
Once, when the Pharisees came and asked him when God's kingdom would come, Jesus replied, “God's kingdom doesn't come with visible signs that you can observe.
21 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau pehē, ‘Vakai heni!’ pe, ‘Vakai hena!’ He ko eni, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
People won't be saying, ‘Look, it's here’ or ‘Look, it's there,’ for God's kingdom is among you.”
22 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “ʻE hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, te mou holi ai ke mamata ki ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata, ka ʻe ʻikai te mou mamata ki ai.
Then Jesus told the disciples, “The time is coming when you'll long to see the day when the Son of man comes, but you won't see it.
23 Pea ka nau ka pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Vakai heni;’ pe, ‘Vakai hena:’ ʻoua naʻa ʻalu atu, pe muimui ki ai.
They'll be telling you, ‘Look, there he is,’ or ‘Look, here he is,’ but don't go running off after them.
24 He ʻoku hangē ko e ʻasi mai ʻae ʻuhila mei he potu langi ʻe taha, pea ulo ʻo aʻu ki he potu langi ʻe taha, ʻe pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi hono ʻaho.
The day when the Son of man comes will be just like lightning that flashes, lighting up the sky from one side to the other.
25 Ka ʻe tomuʻa kātaki ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea ʻe liʻaki ia ʻe he toʻutangata ni.
But first he will have to suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 Pea hangē ko e fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noa, ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe Foha ʻoe tangata.
The time when the Son of man comes will be like it was in Noah's day.
27 Naʻa nau kai, mo inu, naʻa nau mali uaifi, pea foaki ke mali, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe hū ai ʻa Noa ki he vaka, pea ʻoho mai ʻae vai, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
People went on eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Pea hangē foki ko e fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Lote, naʻa nau kai, mo inu, naʻa nau fefakatauʻaki, naʻa nau tō ngoue, pea nau langa fale;
It will be like it was in Lot's day. People went on eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
29 Ka ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Lote ʻi Sotoma, naʻe ʻuha afi mo e maka vela mei he langi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and brimstone rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 ʻE pehē pe foki ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fakahā ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
The day when the Son of man appears will be just like that.
31 “Pea ko ia ia ʻe ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ka ʻoku ʻi loto fale ʻene meʻa, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hifo ia ko hono ʻave: pea ko ia ʻe ʻi he ngoue, ke ʻoua foki naʻa liu mai.
If you're up on the roof that day don't go down and get your things; and if you're out in the fields don't go back home either.
32 Manatuʻi ʻae uaifi ʻo Lote.
Remember Lot's wife!
33 Ko ia ia ʻe kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia; ka ko ia ia ʻe tuku[ʻene moʻui ]ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
If you try to hold on to your life you'll lose it; but if you lose your life you'll save it.
34 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻI he pō ko ia ʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he mohenga pe taha; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
I tell you, at that time two will be in bed at night; one will be taken and the other left.
35 ʻE fakataha ʻae fefine ʻe toko ua ʻo momosi; ʻe ʻave ʻae tokotaha, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.
Two women will be grinding grain, one will be taken; and the other left.”
36 ʻE ai ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻi he ngoue ko e tokotaha ʻe ʻave, ka ʻe tuku ʻae tokotaha.”
37 Pea naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kofaʻā ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻIlonga ʻae potu ʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻangaʻanga, ʻe kātoa ki ai ʻae fanga ʻikale.”
“Where, Lord?” they asked. “Where the carcass is, that's where the vultures gather,” Jesus replied.
