Luke 7
1 Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tala kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume.
After Jesus had finished everything he was saying in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Pea naʻe mahaki, ʻo mei mate ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa lahi ai ia.
Now a centurion had a slave who was highly regarded by him, and he was sick and about to die.
3 Pea kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea ne fekau ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai Siu, ke fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne haʻu ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his servant.
4 Pea kuo nau omi kia Sisu, pea nau kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia te ke fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni:
When they had come to Jesus, they asked him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him,
5 He ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hotau kakai, pea ko ia ia ne langa ʻae falelotu moʻomautolu.”
because he loves our nation, and he is the one who built the synagogue for us.”
6 Pea ʻalu ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu. Pea kuo hoko ia ʻo vāofi mo e fale, pea fekau ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻa [hono ]kāinga, ke lea [ʻo pehē ]kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoua naʻa ke ongosia ange koe: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻaonga ke ke hū ki hoku fale:
So Jesus continued on his way with them. But when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, because I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Pea naʻe ʻikai te u mahalo ʻoku taau mo au ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe: ka ke fai haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.
For this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you, but just say a word and my servant will be healed.
8 He ko au ko e tangata puleʻia foki, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai [ia].
For I also am a man who is under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it.”
9 Pea ofo ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai naʻe muimui ʻiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē [ni ]hono lahi.”
When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.”
10 Pea liu atu ki he fale ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau, ʻonau ʻilo ʻae tamaioʻeiki naʻe mahaki kuo moʻui ia.
When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant was well.
11 Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he kolo naʻe ui ko Neini: pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga tokolahi, mo e fuʻu kakai.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him.
12 Pea kuo ofi ia ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, pea vakai, naʻe fata mai kituaʻā ʻae tangata mate, ko e tama pe taha ia ʻa ʻene faʻē, pea ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻoe kolo.
As he came near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a rather large crowd from the town was with her.
13 Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae ʻEiki, pea manavaʻofa ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua ʻe tangi.”
When the Lord saw her, he was deeply moved with compassion for her and said to her, “Do not cry.”
14 Pea haʻu ia ʻo ala ki he fata: pea tuʻu pe ʻae kau fata. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talavou, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
Then he went up and touched the wooden frame on which they carried the body, and those carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
15 Pea nofo hake ia ʻaia naʻe mate, ʻo kamata lea. Pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē.
The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Pea pukea kotoa pē ʻi he manavahē: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuʻu hake ʻae palōfita lahi ʻiate kitautolu;” pea, “Kuo ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua ki hono kakai.”
Then fear overcame all of them, and they kept praising God, saying, “A great prophet has been raised among us” and “God has looked upon his people.”
17 Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē [ko ia].
This news about Jesus spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the neighboring regions.
18 Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
John's disciples told him about all these things.
19 Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sione kiate ia ʻae toko ua ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne fekau [ʻakinaua ]kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te mau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
Then John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?”
20 Pea kuo haʻu ʻae ongo tangata kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Kuo fekau ʻakimaua kiate koe ʻe Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?’”
When they had come near to Jesus, the men said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to say, 'Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?'”
21 Pea ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi mahaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi, pea mo e kau laumālie kovi; pea naʻa ne fakaʻā ʻae tokolahi naʻe kui.
In that hour he healed many people from sicknesses and afflictions and from evil spirits, and to many blind people he gave sight.
22 Pea [toki ]lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo mo mamata mo fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻa ʻae kui, kuo ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, kuo maʻa ʻae kilia, kuo ongo ʻae tuli, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva.
Jesus answered and said to them, “After you have gone on your way, report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind people are receiving sight, lame people are walking, lepers are being cleansed, deaf people are hearing, people who have died are being raised back to life, and needy people are being told the good news.
23 Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”
The person who does not stop believing in me because of my actions is blessed.”
24 Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata fekau ʻa Sione, pea toki lea ia ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
After John's messengers had gone away, Jesus began to say to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha tangata kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, he ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu fakalaukau, mo kai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? Look, those who wear expensive clothing and who live in luxury are in kings' palaces.
26 Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27 Ko ia ia kuo tohi ki ai, [ʻo pehē, ] ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, Ke teuteu ʻe ia ho hala kiate koe.’
This is he of whom it is written, 'See, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'
28 He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.”
I say to you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he is.”
29 Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe fanongo [kiate ia], mo e kau tānaki tukuhau, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae angatonu ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ʻa Sione.
(When all the people heard this, including the tax collectors, they declared that God is righteous, because they had been baptized with the baptism of John.
30 Ka ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, naʻa nau fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai te nau papitaiso ʻiate ia.
But the Pharisees and the experts in Jewish law rejected God's purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u fakatatau ki he hā ʻae kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni? Pea ʻoku nau tatau mo e hā?
“To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 ʻOku nau tatau mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau feuiʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou meʻe; Kuo mau hiva fakamamahi kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tangi.’
They are like children playing in the marketplace, who sit and call to one another and say, 'We played a flute for you, and you did not dance. We sang a funeral song, and you did not cry.'
33 He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo kai mā mo inu uaine; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
For John the Baptist came eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'
34 Kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu; ka mou pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala!’
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
35 Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”
But wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36 Pea naʻe kole kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he Fālesi ke na kai fakataha mo ia. Pea ne hū ki he fale ʻoe Fālesi, ʻo nofo ai ke kai.
Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. So after Jesus entered into the Pharisee's house, he reclined at the table to eat.
37 Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe angahala ʻi he kolo, kuo ʻilo ʻe ia ʻoku nofo mo kai [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi he fale ʻae Fālesi, pea ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo.
Behold, there was a woman in the city who was a sinner. When she found out that he was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil.
38 Pea tuʻu ia ʻi hono vaʻe mei [hono tuʻa], ʻo tangi, pea kamata fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻaki hono loʻimata, ʻo ne holoholo ʻaki [ia ]hono louʻulu, pea ʻuma ki hono vaʻe, ʻo tākai ʻaki [ia ]ʻae lolo.
As she stood behind him near his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with perfumed oil.
39 Ka kuo mamata [ki ai ]ʻae Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kole kiate ia, pea lea ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, “Ka ne ko hā palōfita ʻae tangata ni, [pehē], kuo ne ʻilo ʻae fefine ni, mo ʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ala kiate ia: he ko e angahala ia.”
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he thought to himself, saying, “If this man were a prophet, then he would know who and what type of woman is touching him, that she is a sinner.”
40 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Saimone, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae meʻa te u lea ai kiate koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, folofola mai.”
Jesus responded and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” He said, “Say it, Teacher!”
41 “Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha pea naʻe totonu ke totongi kiate ia ʻe he toko ua: ko e tenali ʻe nimangeau ʻae tokotaha, kae nimangofulu ʻae tokotaha.
Jesus said, “A certain moneylender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 Pea kuo ʻikai haʻana meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, pea ne fakamolemole [leva ]ʻakinaua ʻosi pe. Ko ia ke ke tala mai, pe ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻe ʻofa lahi kiate ia?”
When they could not pay him, he forgave them both. Therefore, which of them will love him more?”
43 Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou mahalo ko ia pe naʻe lahi ʻene fakamolemole ki ai.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku totonu hoʻo mahalo.”
Simon answered him and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave the most.” Jesus said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Pea tafoki ia ki he fefine, mo ne pehē kia Saimone, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he fefine ni? Naʻaku hū ki ho fale, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻomi ha vai ki hoku vaʻe; ka kuo fufulu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻae loʻimata, mo holoholo ʻaki [ia ]hono louʻulu.
Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, “You see this woman. I have entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
45 Naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻuma kiate au: ka ko e fefine ni talu ʻeku hū mai mo e ʻikai tuku ʻene ʻuma ki hoku vaʻe.
You did not give me a kiss, but from the time I came in she did not stop kissing my feet.
46 Naʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo: ka kuo tākai ʻe he fefine ni ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfumed oil.
47 Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate koe, Ko ʻene angahala, ʻaia ʻoku lahi, kuo fakamolemole ia; ko ia ʻoku lahi ai ʻene ʻofa: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi hono fakamolemole, ʻoku siʻi ʻene ʻofa.”
Therefore I say to you, her sins, which were many, have been forgiven—for she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”
48 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
Then he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau nofo ʻo kai mo ia, naʻa nau kamata pehē ʻi honau loto, Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakamolemole foki ʻae angahala?
Those reclining together began to say among themselves, “Who is this that even forgives sins?”
50 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
