Mātiu 18

1 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau ākonga kia Sisu, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai ʻoku lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi?”

The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?

2 Pea ui ʻe Sisu ha tamasiʻi siʻi ke ʻalu ange kiate ia, ʻo ne tuku ia ki honau haʻohaʻonga,

And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,

3 ‌ʻO ne pehē, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻikai liliu ʻakimoutolu, ke tatau mo e tamaiki iiki, ʻe ʻikai te mou hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.

And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.

4 Ko ia ia te ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻi ni, ko ia pe ʻoku lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.

Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.

5 Pea ko ia te ne maʻu ha tamasiʻi siʻi pehē ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻoku ne maʻu au.

And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.

6 “Ka ko ia te ne fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe lelei hake kiate ia ʻo ka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lōmakiʻi ia ʻi he loto moana.

But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 ʻE malaʻia ʻa māmani koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fakahala! He kuo pau ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi fakahala; kae malaʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻae fakahala!

Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.

8 “Ko ia, kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho nima pe ko ho vaʻe, tutuʻu ia, ʻo liʻaki ia ʻiate koe: ʻoku lelei kiate koe haʻo hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke ketu pe [nima ]mutu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae nima ʻe ua mo e vaʻe ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)

Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Pea kapau ʻoku fakahalaʻi koe ʻe ho mata, kapeʻi ia, ʻo liʻaki ʻiate koe: ʻoku lelei kiate koe haʻo hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke mata taha, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae mata ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi ʻo heli. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou manukiʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi; he ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku mamata maʻuaipē ʻi he langi hā nau ʻāngelo ki he fofonga ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.

See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.

11 Pea kuo hoko mai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke fakamoʻui ʻaia naʻe hē.

For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.

12 “Ko e hā homou loto? Kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae sipi ʻe teau, pea ʻalu hē pe hanau taha, ʻikai ʻoku ne tuku ʻae hivangofulu ma hiva, pea ʻalu ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo kumi ʻaia kuo hē?

How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?

13 Pea kapau te ne ʻilo ia, ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi ʻene fiefia [ʻi ]he sipi ko ia, ʻi he hivangofulu ma hiva naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hē.

And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:

14 Pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai ko e finangalo ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ke malaʻia ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi.

So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.

15 “Ko ia, kapau ʻe fai angahala kiate koe ʻe ho kāinga, ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻene kovi kiate ia, ʻa koe pē mo ia: kapau ʻe tokanga ia kiate koe, kuo ke fakalelei mo ho kāinga.

Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.

16 Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tokanga [kiate koe], pea ke [toki ]ʻave ha tokotaha pe ha toko ua kehe, koeʻuhi ʻe fakapapau ʻae lea kotoa pē mei he ngutu ʻoe fakamoʻoni ʻe toko ua pe toko tolu.

But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.

17 Pea kapau ʻe taʻetokanga ia kiate kinautolu, fakahā[ia ]ki he siasi: pea kapau ʻe taʻetokanga ia ki he siasi, tuku ke tatau ia kiate koe mo e tangata hiteni mo e tānaki tukuhau

And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.

18 “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa ko ia te mou nonoʻo ʻi māmani, ʻe nonoʻo ia ʻi he langi: pea ko e meʻa ko ia te mou veteki ʻi māmani, ʻe veteki ia ʻi he langi.

Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.

19 “Pea ʻoku ou tala atu foki kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe loto taha hamou toko ua ʻi māmani ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha te na kole, ʻe fai ia kiate kinaua ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.

Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.

20 He ko e potu ko ia ʻoku fakataha ai ʻae toko ua pe ʻae toko tolu ʻi hoku huafa, te u ʻi ai au mo kinautolu.”

For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.

21 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻa Pita kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻe liunga fiha ʻae angahala ʻa hoku tokoua kiate au mo ʻeku fakamolemole ia? Ke liunga fitu?”

Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?

22 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te u pehē kiate koe, Ke liunga fitu [pē ]kae liunga fitungofulu lau ʻe fitu.

Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.

23 Ko ia ʻoku fakatatau ai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi ki ha tuʻi, naʻe loto ke fakamaauʻi ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.

Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.

24 Pea kamata fai ʻe ia ʻae fakamaau, pea ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe totonu ke ne totongi [ki he tuʻi ]ʻae taleniti ʻe mano.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.

25 Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai haʻa ne meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, naʻe fekau ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ke fakatau ia, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene fānau, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻaʻana, ʻo totongi ʻaki.

And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.

26 Pea fakatōmapeʻe ʻae tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ke ke faʻa kātaki kiate au, pea te u totongi kotoa pē kiate koe.’

The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Pea toki manavaʻofa ʻae ʻeiki ki he tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne tukuange ia, ʻo ne fakamolemole kiate ia ʻae totongi.

Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.

28 Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻae tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻae tokotaha ʻo ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki, naʻe totonu ke totongi ʻaki kiate ia ʻae tenali ʻe teau: pea ne puke ʻe ia ia, ʻo kuku hono kia, ʻo pehē, ‘Totongi mai kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻaku.’

But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 Pea fakatōmapeʻe ʻa ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ke faʻa kātaki kiate au, pea te u totongi kotoa pē kiate koe.’

Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.

30 Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fai; ka naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula, kaeʻoua ke ne totongi ʻaia naʻe totonu.

Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.

31 Ka ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻene kaungā tamaioʻeiki ki he meʻa kuo fai, naʻa nau mamahi lahi, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā ki honau ʻeiki ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai.

And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.

32 Pea ui ia ʻe heʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻAe tamaioʻeiki angakovi ko koe, ne u fakamolemolea koe ʻi he totongi kotoa pē ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo kole kiate au:’

Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.

33 Pea ʻikai naʻe taau mo koe hoʻo manavaʻofa foki ki ho kaungā tamaioʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku manavaʻofa kiate koe?

Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

34 Pea ʻita ai ʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ne tuku atu ia ki he kau fakamamahi, kaeʻoua ke ne totongi ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe totonu.

So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.

35 “ʻE fai pehē foki ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻi he langi kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou taki taha fakamolemolea mei hono loto ʻae ngaahi angahala ʻo hono kāinga.”

So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
