Mātiu 19
1 Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻene ngaahi lea ni, naʻe ʻalu ia mei Kaleli, pea haʻu ia ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Siutea, ʻo ofi ki Sioatani.
And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galile, and came into ye coasts of Iudea beyond Iordan.
2 Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito: pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ngofua ki he tangata ke tukuange hono uaifi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē?”
Then came vnto him the Pharises tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife vpon euery occasion?
4 Pea lea ia, “ʻO pehēange kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu [ʻae kakai ]ʻi he kamataʻanga, ‘naʻa ne fakatupu ʻakinaua ko e tangata mo e fefine,’
And he answered and sayd vnto them, Haue ye not read, that hee which made them at the beginning, made them male and female,
5 ʻO ne pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻe tuku ai ʻe he tangata ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea ʻe hoko ʻakinaua ko e kakano pe taha?’
And sayd, For this cause, shall a man leaue father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife, and they which were two shalbe one flesh.
6 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te na kei ua, ka ko e kakano pe taha. Pea ko eni, ko ia kuo fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa fakamāvae ʻe ha tangata.”
Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. Let not man therefore put asunder that, which God hath coupled together.
7 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ka kuo pehē, ko e hā naʻe fekau ai ʻe Mōsese ke ʻoatu ʻae tohi fakamāvae, pea ke tukuange ia?”
They said to him, Why did then Moses commaund to giue a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away?
8 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fefeka ʻo homou loto, ko ia naʻe kātaki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa hoʻomou tukuange homou uaifi: ka naʻe ʻikai pehē mei he kamataʻanga.
He sayd vnto them, Moses, because of the hardnesse of your heart, suffered you to put away your wiues: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, ka ʻi [heʻene ]tono tangata pe, pea fakamaʻu ia mo ha tokotaha kehe, ko e tono fefine ia: pea ko ia ʻe fakamaʻu mo ia kuo tukuange, ko e tono fefine ia.”
I say therefore vnto you, that whosoeuer shall put away his wife, except it be for whoredome, and marry another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her which is diuorced, doeth commit adulterie.
10 Pea pehē ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku pehē pe ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, tā ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fakamaʻu.”
Then sayd his disciples to him, If the matter be so betweene man and wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻae tala ni ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ka ko kinautolu kuo foaki ia ki ai.
But he sayd vnto them, All men cannot receiue this thing, saue they to whom it is giuen.
12 He ʻoku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoku ʻiunoke, ʻi heʻenau fanauʻi mei he manāva ʻo [ʻenau ]faʻē: pea ʻoku ai ʻae ʻiunoke niʻihi, kuo ngaohi ke ʻiunoke ʻe he tangata: pea ʻoku ai ʻae ʻiunoke niʻihi, kuo nau ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke ʻiunoke, koeʻuhi ko e puleʻanga ʻoe langi. Ko ia ʻoku ne faʻa maʻu ia, ke maʻu pe ʻe ia.”
For there are some eunuches, which were so borne of their mothers belly: and there be some eunuches, which be gelded by men: and there be some eunuches, which haue gelded them selues for the kingdome of heauen. He that is able to receiue this, let him receiue it.
13 Pea naʻe ʻomi ai kiate ia ʻae tamaiki iiki, koeʻuhi ke ne hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu, ʻo lotu: ka naʻe lolomi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau ākonga.
Then were brought to him litle children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOua ʻe taʻofi, kae tuku ke haʻu kiate au ʻae tamaiki iiki: he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.”
But Iesus sayd, Suffer the litle children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdome of heauen.
15 Pea hilifaki ʻe ia hono nima kiate kinautolu, ka ka ʻalu mei ai.
And when he had put his hands on them, he departed thence.
16 Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā ha meʻa lelei te u fai ke u maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?” (aiōnios g166)
And beholde, one came and sayd vnto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I doe, that I may haue eternall life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei ʻaia ko e ʻOtua: ka ko ho loto ke ke hū ki he moʻui pea ke fai ki he ngaahi fekau.”
And he said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, eue God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keepe ye commandemets.
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻA fē?” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi,’
He sayd to him, Which? And Iesus sayde, These, Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnesse.
19 ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo[hoʻo ]faʻē:’ pea, ‘Ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’”
Honour thy father and mother: and thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
20 Pea pehēange ʻe he talavou kiate ia, “Kuo u fai kotoa pē eni talu ʻeku kei siʻi: ko e hā ʻoku ou kei hala ai?”
The yong man sayd vnto him, I haue obserued all these things from my youth: what lacke I yet?
21 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ko ho loto ke ke haohaoa, ʻalu ʻo fakatau ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, mo foaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.”
Iesus sayd vnto him, If thou wilt be perfite, go, sell that thou hast, and giue it to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, and follow me.
22 Ka ʻi he fanongo ʻae talavou ki he lea ko ia, naʻa ne ʻalu mamahi: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
And when the yong man heard that saying, he went away sorowfull: for he had great possessions.
23 Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻae hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples, Verely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen.
24 Pea ʻoku ou tala foki kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku faingofua ke hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into ye kingdome of God.
25 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau ofo lahi ʻaupito, ʻonau pehē, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
And whe his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amased, saying, Who then can be saued?
26 Pea vakai ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai eni ʻe he tangata; ka ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.”
And Iesus behelde them, and sayde vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God all things are possible.
27 Pea toki lea ai ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo mau siʻaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe: ko e hā te mau maʻu ai?”
Then answered Peter, and said to him, Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee: what therefore shall we haue?
28 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko kimoutolu kuo muimui ʻiate au, ʻoka nofo ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nofoʻa ʻo hono nāunau, ʻi he fakafoʻou, ʻe nofo ʻakimoutolu foki ki he nofoʻa ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakamaau ai ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻo ʻIsileli.
And Iesus said vnto them, Verely I say to you, that when the Sonne of man shall sit in the throne of his maiestie, ye which folowed me in the regeneration, shall sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel.
29 Pea ko ia fulipē kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fale, pe ʻae kāinga, pe ko e tuofefine, pe ko e tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ko e uaifi, pe ʻae fānau, pe ʻae fonua, koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa, te ne maʻu ʻo taki teau, pea te ne maʻu mo e moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
And whosoeuer shall forsake houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Names sake, he shall receiue an hundreth folde more, and shall inherite euerlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoku muʻomuʻa te nau muimui; pea ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa.
But many that are first, shalbe last, and the last shalbe first.
