< Mātiu 10 >

1 Pea kuo ne ui ke haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻa ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mālohi, ke nau kapusi ʻae ngaahi laumālie taʻemaʻa, pea ke nau fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kotoa pē, mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē.
Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.
2 Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua; Ko e ʻuluaki, ko Saimone, ʻoku ui ko Pita, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua; ko Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua;
Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;
3 Ko Filipe, mo Pātolomiu; ko Tōmasi, mo Mātiu ko e tānaki tukuhau; ko Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Lepiusi, naʻe ui ko Tatiusi;
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Ko Saimone ko e Kēnani, mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻaia ne lavakiʻi ia.
Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
5 Ko e toko hongofulu ma toko ua eni naʻe tuku atu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou ʻalu ʻi ha hala ʻoe Senitaile, pea ʻoua naʻa mou hū ki ha kolo ʻoe kakai Samēlia:
These twelve Jesus sent on a mission, after giving them their instructions: "Go not," He said, "among the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town;
6 Ka mou ʻalu muʻa ki he fanga sipi hē ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.
but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.
7 Pea ka mou ka ʻalu, mou malanga, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.’
And as you go, preach and say, 'The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'
8 Fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki, fakamaʻa ʻae kilia, fokotuʻu ʻae mate, kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo: kuo mou maʻu taʻetotongi, pea ʻoatu taʻetotongi.
Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.
9 ‌ʻOua naʻa tokonaki ki homou noʻo ha koula, pe ha siliva, pe ha kapa.
"Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;
10 pe ha kato ki he fononga, pe ha kofutuʻa ʻe ua, pe ha topuvaʻe, pe ha tokotoko: he ʻoku taau mo e tangata ngāue ke ne maʻu ʻe ia haʻa ne tauhi.
no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.
11 “Pea ko e kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē te mou hū ki ai, mou fehuʻi pe ko hai ʻi ai ʻoku angalelei; pea mou nofo ai kaeʻoua ke mou toki ʻalu.
"Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.
12 Pea ka mou ka hū ki he fale, tāpuakiʻi ia.
When you enter the house, salute it;
13 Pea kapau ʻoku lelei ʻae fale, ʻe hoko ki ai hoʻomou tāpuaki: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei, ʻe foki mai hoʻomou tāpuaki kiate kimoutolu.
and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.
14 Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻakimoutolu, pe fanongo ki hoʻomou lea, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu mei he fale pe ko e kolo ko ia, mou tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei homou vaʻe.
And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.
15 ‌ʻOku ou tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma mo Komola ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau, ʻi he kolo ko ia.
I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.
16 “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻakimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fanga ulofi: ko ia ke mou poto ʻo hangē ko e ngata, pea angalelei ʻo hangē ko e lupe.
"Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.
17 Kae vakai ki he kakai: he te nau tukuange ʻakimoutolu ki he kau fakamaau, pea te nau haha ʻakimoutolu ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu;
But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;
18 Pea ʻe taki ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻao ʻoe kau pule mo e ngaahi tuʻi koeʻuhi ko au, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu mo e Senitaile.
and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Pea ka nau ka tuku atu ʻakimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou feinga pe fēfē pe ko e hā te mou lea ʻaki: koeʻuhi ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia, ʻaia te mou lea ʻaki.
But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;
20 He ʻoku ʻikai ko kimoutolu ʻoku lea, ka ko e Laumālie ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku lea ʻiate kimoutolu.
for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 “Pea ʻe tuku atu ʻe he tangata [hono ]tokoua ki he mate, mo e tamai ʻene tamasiʻi: pea ʻe tuʻu hake ʻae fānau ki he mātuʻa, ʻo pule ke mate ʻakinautolu.
Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.
22 Pea ʻe fehiʻanekina ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa: ka ko ia ʻe kātaki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻe moʻui ia.
And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--he will be saved.
23 Pea ka nau ka fakatanga ʻakimoutolu ʻi ha kolo, mou feholaki ki ha [kolo ]kehe; he ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE teʻeki ai te mou ʻosiki ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli [ʻi hoʻomou ʻalu, ]ka kuo hoko mai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 “ʻOku ʻikai lahi hake ʻae ākonga ʻi [heʻene ]akonaki, pe ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻi heʻene ʻeiki.
"The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.
25 ‌ʻOku lahi ki he ākonga ke na tatau mo ʻene akonaki, pea mo e tamaioʻeiki mo ʻene ʻeiki. Kapau kuo nau ui ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe fale ko Pelisipupe, ʻikai ʻe lahi hake kiate kinautolu ʻi hono fale?
Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?
26 Ko ia ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu: he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻe taʻefakahā; pea fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa.
Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.
27 “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu ʻi he poʻuli, mou lea ʻaki ia ʻi he maama: pea ko ia ʻoku mou ongoʻi ʻi he telinga, mou malangaʻaki ia ʻi he tuʻa fale.
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
28 Pea ʻoua naʻa manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻae sino, ka ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae laumālie: kae manavahē muʻa kiate ia ʻoku mafai ke fakaʻauha ʻae laumālie mo e sino ʻi heli. (Geenna g1067)
"And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae hikiʻi manupuna ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe taha? Ka ʻe ʻikai haʻana taha ʻe tō ki he kelekele ka ʻi [he loto ʻo ]hoʻomou Tamai.
Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
30 Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē.
But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
31 Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē, [he ]ʻoku mou mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he fanga hikiʻi manu lahi.
Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
32 “Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahā au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u fakahā foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
"Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.
33 Ka ko ia te ne liʻaki au ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, te u liʻaki foki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.
34 “ʻOua naʻa mou mahalo kuo u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino ki māmani: naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ʻomi ʻae melino, ka ko e heletā.
"Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 He kuo u haʻu ke ‘fakafehiʻa ʻae tangata ki heʻene tamai, mo e taʻahine ki heʻene faʻē, mo e taʻahine ʻi he fono ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.’
For I came to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 Pea ‘ko e fili ʻoe tangata ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo mo ia ʻi hono fale.’
and a man's own family will be his foes.
37 Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki he tamai pe ko e faʻē ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa lahi hake ki [hono ]foha pe ʻofefine ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38 Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai toʻo hake ʻene ʻakau māfasia ʻo muimui ʻiate au, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ia ke ne maʻu au.
and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.
39 Ko ia ʻoku kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia: ka ko ia ʻoku mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.
40 “Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻoku ne maʻu au, pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au.
"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.
41 Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ha palōfita ʻi he hingoa ʻoe palōfita, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe palōfita; pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni ʻi he hingoa ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻoe tangata māʻoniʻoni.
Every one who receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and every one who receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 Pea ko ia te ne foaki ki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ha ipu vai momoko ke inu ai, ʻi he hingoa pe ʻoe ākonga, ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.”
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward."
