Luke 19
1 Pea naʻe fononga atu [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi Seliko, ʻo ʻalu ai.
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2 Pea vakai, ko e tangata ko Sakiasi hono hingoa, ko e matāpule ia ʻi he kau tānaki tukuhau, pea naʻe koloaʻia ia.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
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 tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
4 Pea naʻe lele muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo kaka ʻi he ʻakau ko e sukamino, ke mamata kiate ia: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ange ai ia.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must 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.”
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house today.’
6 Pea fakavave ia, ʻo ʻalu hifo, ʻo ne tali ia ʻi he fiefia.
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
7 Pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, pea nau lāunga kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻalu ia ke nofo mo e tangata angahala.”
On seeing this, everyone began to complain, ‘He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.’
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.]”
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master, ‘Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give him back 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.
‘Salvation has come to this house today,’ answered Jesus, ‘for even this man is a son of Abraham.
10 He kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke kumi mo fakamoʻui ʻaia kuo mole.”
The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.’
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 the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
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, ‘A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then 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 of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
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 subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say “We will not have this man as our king.”
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.
On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
16 Pea haʻu ʻae ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe hongofulu.’
The first came up, and said “Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.”
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.
“Well done, good servant!” exclaimed the master. “As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.”
18 Pea haʻu hono toko ua, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, kuo maʻu ʻaki ʻa hoʻo mina ʻae mina ʻe nima’
When the second came, he said “Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.”
19 Pea naʻe pehē foki kiate ia, ‘Ke ke puleʻi foki ʻae kolo ʻe nima.’
So the master said to him “And you I appoint over five towns.”
20 Pea haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, vakai, ko hoʻo mina, ʻaia kuo u tauhi, ʻo kofuʻaki ia ʻae holoholo.
Another servant also came and said “Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put 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 was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.”
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:
The master answered “Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
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 didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
24 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ‘Toʻo ʻiate ia ʻae mina, ʻo atu kiate ia ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’
Take away from him the ten pounds,” he said to those standing by, “and give them to the one who has the hundred.”
25 (Pea nau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻoku hongofulu ʻene mina.’)
“But, Sir,” they said, “he has a hundred pounds already!”
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.
“I tell you,” he answered, “that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what 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 as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their king, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.”’
28 Pea kuo hili ʻene lea pehē, pea muʻomuʻa ia, ʻo fononga atu ki Selūsalema.
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, 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 was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on 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.”
‘Go to the village facing us,’ he said, ‘and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
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.’”
And, if anybody asks you “Why are you untying it?”, you are to say this – “The Master wants it.”’
32 Pea naʻa na ō ʻakinaua naʻe fekau, ʻo na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ia ne ne fakahā kiate kinaua.
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus 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?”
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – ‘Why are you untying the foal?’
34 Pea na pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki.”
And the two disciples answered – ‘The Master wants 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.
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
36 Pea ʻi heʻenau ō, naʻa nau folahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
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;
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, everyone of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that 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.”
‘Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.’
39 Pea ko e Fālesi niʻihi ʻi he kakai naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, lolomi hoʻo kau ākonga.”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, restrain 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.”
But Jesus answered, ‘I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.’
41 Pea kuo haʻu ia ʻo ofi, pea vakai ia ki he kolo, pea tangi ai,
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
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.
‘If only you had known, while yet there was time – even you – the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
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 a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
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.”
they will trample you down and your children within you, and 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;
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
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 as he did so, ‘Scripture says – “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.
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the chief priests and teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leaders of the people.
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.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
