< Luke 19 >

1 Pea naʻe fononga atu [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi Seliko, ʻo ʻalu ai.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Pea vakai, ko e tangata ko Sakiasi hono hingoa, ko e matāpule ia ʻi he kau tānaki tukuhau, pea naʻe koloaʻia ia.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Naʻe holi ia ke mamata pe ko e tangata ʻoku fēfē ʻa Sisu; ka naʻe ʻikai mafai ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, he ko e pukupuku ia.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Pea naʻe lele muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo kaka ʻi he ʻakau ko e sukamino, ke mamata kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ange ai ia.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki he potu, naʻa ne sio hake, ʻo mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Sakiasi, ʻalu hifo ke vave, he te u nofo ʻi ho fale ʻi he ʻaho ni.”
And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 Pea fakavave ia, ʻo ʻalu hifo, ʻo ne tali ia ʻi he fiefia.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, pea nau lāunga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻalu ia ke nofo mo e tangata angahala.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sakiasi, ʻo ne pehē ki he “ʻEiki; ʻEiki, vakai, ʻoku ou foaki hono vaeua ʻo ʻeku koloa ki he masiva; pea kapau ne u maʻu ha meʻa ʻi he lohiakiʻi ha taha, ʻoku ou totongi ʻo liunga fā[kiate ia.]”
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
9 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo hoko ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae fakamoʻui ki he fale ni, koeʻuhi ko e foha foki ia ʻo ʻEpalahame.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 He kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke kumi mo fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo mole.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa ne toe lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā, koeʻuhi kuo ofi ia ki Selūsalema, pea [ko e meʻa ]ʻi heʻenau mahalo ʻe hoko leva ʻae puleʻanga, ʻoe ʻOtua.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
12 Ko ia ne ne pehē ai, “Naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻeiki ʻe tokotaha ki he fonua mamaʻo, ke maʻu moʻona ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki liliu mai.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Pea ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Ngāueʻaki eni kaeʻoua ke u haʻu.’
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Ka naʻe fehiʻa ʻa hono kakai kiate ia, ʻonau kouna ʻae talafekau ke ʻalu, mo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te mau maʻu ʻae tangata ni ke puleʻi ʻakimautolu.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 “Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, pea toki fekau ʻe ia ke ui mai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku ki ai ʻae paʻanga, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ko e hā kuo maʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene fakatau.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 Pea haʻu ʻae ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Mālō, ko e tamaioʻeiki lelei koe;’ ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, maʻu ʻe koe ʻae pule ki he kolo ʻe hongofulu.
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Pea haʻu hono toko ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe nima’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Pea naʻe pehē foki kiate ia, ‘Ke ke puleʻi foki ʻae kolo ʻe nima.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 Pea haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, vakai, ko hoʻo mina, ʻaia kuo u tauhi, ʻo kofuʻaki ia ʻae holoholo.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 He naʻaku manavahē kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e tangata faingataʻa koe: ʻoku ke toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ke tūtuuʻi.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
22 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Mei ho ngutu ʻoʻou te u fakamaau koe, ʻae tamaioʻeiki angakovi. Naʻa ke ʻilo ko e tangata faingataʻa au, ʻoku ou toʻo hake ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tuku hifo, mo tuʻusi ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u tūtuuʻi:
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 Ko e hā ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ke tuku ʻeku paʻanga ki he tukuʻanga koloa, koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku haʻu te u maʻu ia mo hono tupu?’
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ‘Toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae mina, ʻo atu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 (Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’)
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 He ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ‘Ko ia fulipē ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 Ka ko kinautolu ni ko hoku ngaahi fili, naʻe ʻikai te nau lelei ke u puleʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻomi ki heni, pea tāmateʻi ʻi hoku ʻao.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Pea kuo hili ʻene lea pehē, pea muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki Petefesi mo Pētani, ki he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ne ne fekau ʻene ongo ākonga ʻe toko ua.
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 ‌ʻO pehē, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai; pea ʻi hoʻomo hū ki ai te mo ʻilo ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata: vete ia, ʻo taki mai.”
saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 Pea kapau ʻe ʻeke ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ia?’ Te mo pehē kiate [ia], ‘Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Pea naʻa na ō ʻakinaua naʻe fekau, ʻo na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ia ne ne fakahā kiate kinaua.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Pea ʻi heʻena vete ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻanautolu ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Pea na pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Pea naʻa na taki ia kia Sisu: pea na ʻai hona kofu ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi, ʻo na fakaheka ki ai ʻa Sisu.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Pea ʻi heʻenau ō, naʻa nau folahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, ʻi he tahifohifo ʻoe moʻunga ko ʻOlive, pea kamata fiefia mo fakamālō ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue lahi kotoa pē kuo nau mamata ki ai;
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 ‌ʻO pehē, “‘ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova:’ Ke fiemālie ʻi he langi, pea fakamālō fungani lahi ʻi ʻolunga.”
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Pea ko e Fālesi niʻihi ʻi he kakai naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, lolomi hoʻo kau ākonga.”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fakalongo pē ʻakinautolu ni, ʻe kalanga leva ʻae ngaahi maka.”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, pea vakai ia ki he kolo, pea tangi ai,
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 ‌ʻo pehē, “Taumaiā naʻa ke ʻilo, ʻio, ʻe koe, ʻi ho ʻaho ko eni, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki hoʻo fiemālie! Ka ko eni kuo fufū ia mei ho mata.
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho kiate koe, ʻe tanu puke ai ʻa ho ngaahi fili, ʻo takatakai koe, mo kāpui koe, pea tāpuni ko e mei he potu kotoa pē.
For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
44 Pea ʻe holoki hifo ko e ʻo aʻu ki he kelekele, mo hoʻo fānau ʻiate koe; pea ʻe ʻikai te nau tuku ʻiate koe ha maka [kuo fokotuʻu ]ki ha maka; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae kuonga ʻo ho ʻaʻahi ʻanga.”
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 Pea naʻe hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ai;
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 ‌ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ko e falelotu:’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ‘ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.’”
saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
47 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ka naʻe holi ke tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi mo e kau matāpule ʻoe kakai.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā te nau fai: he kuo tokanga lahi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ke nau fanongo kiate ia.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
