Luke 18
1 Pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he fakatātā, ʻoku lelei ke lotu maʻuaipē ʻae kakai, pea ʻoua naʻa fiu;
He was speaking then (and *ko) a parable to them about it needing always to pray (they *no) and not to lose heart
2 ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻi he kolo ʻe taha ʻae fakamaau, naʻe ʻikai manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata.
saying; A judge certain there was in a certain city God not fearing and man not respecting.
3 Pea naʻe ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻae fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti; pea haʻu ia ki ai, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Fakamaau au mo totongi totonu ki hoku fili.’
A widow then there was in the city that and she was coming to him saying; do avenge me of the adversary of mine.
4 Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga leva ia ki ai: kae toki fakakaukau ia, [ʻo pehē], ‘ʻOku ʻikai pe te u manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pe tokanga ki he tangata;
And not (he was desiring [to do] *N+kO) for a time. afterward however he said within himself; If even God not I fear (nor *N+kO) man respect,
5 Ka koeʻuhi ʻi he fakafiuʻi au ʻe he fefine ni kuo mate hono husepāniti, te u fakamaauʻi ia, telia ʻi heʻene faʻa haʻu te ne fakakinaʻi au.’”
because yet it occasioning me trouble widow this I will avenge her, so that not to end coming she may exhaust me.
6 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Fanongo ki he lea ʻae fakamaau taʻeangatonu.
Said then the Lord; do hear what the judge unrighteous says;
7 Pea ʻe ʻikai fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono kakai ʻoʻona kuo fili, ʻaia ʻoku tangi kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo kapau ʻe fakatuotuai ia kiate kinautolu?
And God certainly not (may do *N+kO) the avenging of the elect of Him the [ones] crying out (to *k) (to Him *N+kO) day and night, and (be patient *N+kO) in regard to them?
8 ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fakamaau vave ʻe ia ʻakinautolu. Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, te ne ʻilo ʻae tui ʻi he fonua?”
I say to you that He will carry out the avenging of them with speed. Nevertheless the Son of Man having come surely not will He find faith on the earth?
9 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he niʻihi naʻa nau falala kiate kinautolu kuo nau māʻoniʻoni, mo nau manukiʻi ʻae kakai kehe:
He spoke now also to some having trusted in themselves that they are righteous and (despising *NK+o) the others parable this.
10 “Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae ongo tangata ki he falelotu lahi ke lotu; ko e tokotaha ko e Fālesi, pea ko e tānaki tukuhau ʻae tokotaha.
Men two went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 Naʻe tuʻu atu pe ʻae Fālesi, pea lotu, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ko e kau tangata kehe, ke fakamālohi, mo taʻeangatonu, mo tono fefine, pe hangē ko e tānaki tukuhau ni.
The Pharisee having stood toward himself these things was praying; O God, I thank You that not I am (like *NK+o) the rest of the men — swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers — or even like this tax collector.
12 ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukai ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻatu ʻae tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fulipē.’
I fast twice in the week, I tithe all things as much as I gain.
13 Ka naʻe tuʻu mamaʻo atu ʻae tānaki tukuhau, pea ʻikai faʻa hanga hake hono mata ki he langi, ka naʻe si fatafata ia, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.’
(and *ko) (but *no) the tax collector afar off having stood not was willing not even the eyes to lift up to heaven but was striking (into *k) the breast (of him *NK+o) saying: O God, do be merciful to me to the sinner!
14 ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻae tangata ni ki hono fale kuo fakatonuhia ia, ka ʻikai pehē ʻae tokotaha: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne hiki hake ia, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ia, ʻe hiki hake ia.”
I say to you; went down this one justified to the house of him (rather than *k) (compared with *n+o) (that [one]. *N+kO) For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, the [one] however humbling himself will be exalted.
15 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi foki kiate ia ʻae tamaiki iiki, koeʻuhi ke ne ala kiate kinautolu: ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, naʻa nau lolomi ʻakinautolu.
They were bringing then to Him also the infants that them He may touch; having seen however the disciples (were rebuking *N+kO) them.
16 Ka naʻe ui ʻe Sisu ke nau haʻu, ʻo ne pehē, “Tuku pe ʻae tamaiki iiki ke haʻu kiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻakinautolu: he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
But Jesus (called *N+kO) them (speaking; *N+kO) do permit the little children to come to Me and not do forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hū ia ki ai.”
Amen I say to you; who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) not shall receive the kingdom of God as a child, certainly not shall enter into it.
18 Pea toki fehuʻi ʻae matāpule ʻe taha kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā te u fai ke u hoko ai ki he moʻui taʻehili?” (aiōnios g166)
And asked a certain Him ruler saying; Teacher good, what having done life eternal will I inherit? (aiōnios g166)
19 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei, ʻaia ko e ʻOtua.
Said then to him Jesus; Why Me you call good? No [one is] good only except one God.
20 ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi,’ ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē.’”
The commandments You know: Not shall you commit adultery, not shall you murder, not shall you steal, not shall you bear false witness, do honor the father of you and the mother (of you. *k)
21 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku siʻi.”
And he said; These all (I kept *N+kO) from [the] youth (of mine. *ko)
22 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki he ngaahi lea ni, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ke kei hala ai: fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻau, ʻo tufaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ʻae ʻene koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.”
Having heard then (these things *k) Jesus said to him; Yet one thing to you is lacking: All as much as you have do sell and do distribute to [the] poor, and you will have treasure in (the *no) (heavens; *N+kO) and come, do follow Me.
23 Pea kuo fanongo ia ki ai, naʻa ne mamahi ʻaupito: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
And having heard these things very sorrowful (he became; *N+kO) he was for rich extremely.
24 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu kuo mamahi ʻaupito ia, pea ne pehē, “ʻE faingataʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻoku koloaʻia ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
Having seen then him Jesus sorrowful became saying; How difficult [for] those riches having [when] into the kingdom of God (they enter. *N+kO)
25 He ʻoku faingofua hake ʻae hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻae ʻOtua!
Easier for it is a camel through (an eye of a needle *N+kO) to go than a rich man into the kingdom of God to enter.
26 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo naʻa nau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
Said then those having heard; Then who is able to be saved?
27 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai mafai ʻe he tangata, ʻoku mafai ia ʻe he ʻOtua.”
But He said; The [things] impossible with men possible with God are.
28 Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita, “Vakai, kuo mau liaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe.”
Said then Peter; Behold we ourselves (having abandoned *N+kO) ([our] own [things] *N+kO) (and *k) followed You.
29 Pea ne pehe kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata kuo liʻaki ʻe ia ai fale, pea ʻae mātuʻa, pe ko e ngaahi kāinga, pe ko e uaifi, pe ʻae fānau, koeʻuhi ko e puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
And He said to them; Amen I say to you that no [one] there is who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Pea ne omi ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema, pea ʻe fakamoʻoni ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi ʻe he kau palōfita.
Having taken aside then the Twelve He said to them; Behold we go up to (Jerusalem, *N+kO) and will be accomplished all things which written through the prophets about the Son of Man;
32 He koeʻuhi ʻe tukuange ia ki he Senitaile, pea ʻe manukiʻi ia, mo fai meʻa kovi kiate ia, mo ʻaʻanu ki ai:
He will be betrayed for to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon,
33 Pea te nau kauʻimaea mo tāmateʻi ia: pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toetuʻu ia.”
And having flogged [Him] they will kill Him, and on the day third He will rise again.
34 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; pea naʻe puli ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ni, ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo lea ʻaki.
And they themselves no [thing] of these things understood, and was declaration this hidden from them, and neither they were knowing the [things] being spoken.
35 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene ofi atu ki Seliko, naʻe nofo ʻi he veʻehala ʻae tangata kui ʻo kole:
It came to pass then in the drawing near by Him to Jericho a blind [man] certain was sitting beside the road (begging. *N+kO)
36 Pea fanongo ia ki he ʻalu ange ʻae fononga, pea fehuʻi ia ki hono ʻuhinga.
Having heard now a crowd passing along he was asking what (maybe *o) would be this.
37 Pea naʻa nau tala kiate ia, “Ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti” ʻoku ʻalu ange.
They told then to him that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.
38 Pea kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
And he called out saying; Jesus Son of David, do have mercy on me.
39 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe muʻomuʻa naʻa nau lolomi ia, ke tuku ʻene longoaʻa: ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene kalanga, “Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
And those going before were rebuking him that (he may be silent. *N+kO) He himself however much more was crying out; Son of David, do have mercy on me.
40 Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fekau ke ʻomi ia kiate ia: pea kuo ʻunu mai ia ʻo ofi, pea ne fehuʻi ange kiate ia,
Having stopped then Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. When was approaching then he He asked him;
41 ʻO pehē, “Ko e hā ho loto ke u fai kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā hoku mata.”
(saying *ko) What to you desire you I may do? And he said; Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ke ʻā ho mata: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.”
And Jesus said to him; do receive sight: The faith of you has healed you.
43 Pea ʻā fakafokifā pe ia, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea fakamālō ki he ʻOtua: pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
And immediately he received sight and was following Him glorifying God. And all the people having seen [it] gave praise to God.
