Mātiu 21
1 Pea ʻi heʻenau ofi ki Selūsalema, ʻo hoko ki Petefesi, ki he moʻunga ko ʻOlive, naʻe toki fekau ʻe Sisu ʻae ākonga ʻe toko ua,
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 ʻO ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai, pea te mo ʻilo leva ʻae ʻasi ʻoku noʻotaki, mo hono ʻuhiki: vevete ʻo tataki mai kiate au.
saying to them, “Go into the next village, and you will immediately find a donkey tied up there, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 Pea kapau ʻe lea ha taha kiate kimoua, te mo pehē, ‘ʻOku na ʻaonga ki he ʻEiki;’ pea te ne tuku mai leva ia.”
If anyone says anything to you about that, you will say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and that person will immediately send them with you.”
4 Naʻe fai eni kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē,
Now this came about that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. He said,
5 “Mou tala ki he taʻahine ʻo Saione, ‘Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi kiate koe, ʻoku angamalū, ʻo heka ki he ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki ko e fānau ʻae ʻasi.’”
“Tell the daughter of Zion, 'See, your King is coming to you, Humble and riding on a donkey— on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo ākonga ʻo na fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sisu kiate kinaua,
Then the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed them.
7 ʻo ʻomi ʻae ʻasi, mo e ʻuhiki, pea nau ʻai ki ai honau kofu, ʻonau fakaheka, [ia ]ki ai.
They brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat upon the cloaks.
8 Pea folahi atu ʻe he kakai tokolahi honau kofu ʻi he hala; pea naʻe tutuʻu hifo ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻuluʻuluʻi ʻakau, ʻo falikiliki ʻaki ʻae hala.
Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the road.
9 Pea ko e kakai tokolahi naʻe muʻomuʻa mo muimui atu, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he Foha ʻo Tevita: ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova;’ Hosana ʻi ʻolunga.”
Then the crowds that went before Jesus and those that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki Selūsalema, naʻe ngatū ʻae kolo kotoa, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai eni?”
When Jesus had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred and said, “Who is this?”
11 Pea pehē ʻe he kakai, “Ko Sisu eni, ko e palōfita ʻo Nāsaleti ʻi Kaleli.”
The crowds answered, “This is Jesus the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
12 Pea hū ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fefakatauʻaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne fulihi ʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe kau fetongi paʻanga, mo e nofoʻa ʻonautolu naʻe fakatau lupe,
Then Jesus entered the temple. He cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
13 ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ui hoku fale ko e falelotu;’ ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.”
He said to them, “It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you make it a den of robbers.”
14 Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia, ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻae kui mo e pipiki; pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
Then the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ki he ngaahi meʻa mana naʻa ne fai, mo e kalanga ʻae tamaiki ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo pehē, “Hosana ki he foha ʻo Tevita;” naʻa nau ʻita lahi,
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the marvelous things that he did, and when they heard the children shouting in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became very angry.
16 ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ongoʻi ʻenau lea?” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻIo; pea ʻoku teʻeki siʻi ke mou lau, ‘Kuo ke maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he ngutu ʻoe kau valevale mo e kei huhū?’”
They said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes! But have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of little children and nursing infants you have prepared praise'?”
17 Pea tuku ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae ʻalu ia mei he kolo ki Pētani; pea mohe ai.
Then Jesus left them and went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
18 Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻene liu mai ki he kolo, kuo fiekaia ia.
Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 Pea mamata ia ki he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻi he hala, pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ai ha meʻa ka ko e lau pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Ngata ʻi heni, ke ʻoua naʻa tupu ha fua ʻiate koe ʻo lauikuonga.” Pea mate leva ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki. (aiōn g165)
Seeing a fig tree along the roadside, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there be no fruit from you ever again,” and immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, pea nau ofo, ʻo pehē, “Kuo mate vave ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki!”
When the disciples saw it, they marveled and said, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
21 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻoku mou maʻu ʻae tui, pea ʻoua naʻa fakataʻetaʻetui, ʻe ʻikai te mou fai pe ʻa ia [kuo fai ]ki he ʻakau ko e fiki, ka ʻoka mou ka tala ki he moʻunga ni foki, ‘Ke hiki koe, mo lī koe ki he tahi;’ ʻe fai ia.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to this fig tree, but you will even say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done.
22 Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia te mou kole ʻi he lotu, ʻi he tui, te mou maʻu.”
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 Pea kuo hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ʻi heʻene kei malanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai naʻa ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
When Jesus had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you this authority?”
24 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu foki ki he meʻa ʻe taha, pea kapau te mou tala ia kiate au, te u tala foki kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei fē? Mei he langi, pe mei he tangata?” Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ pea ʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kitautolu, ‘Pea ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
The baptism of John—from where did it come? From heaven or from men?” They discussed among themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
26 Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻoku tau manavahē ki he kakai; he ʻoku lau kotoa pē ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, because they all view John as a prophet.”
27 Pea nau talaange kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻilo.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Ka ko e hā homou loto? Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe toko ua hono foha; pea haʻu ia ki hono ʻuluaki, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Foha, ʻalu ʻo ngāue ʻi heʻeku ngoue vaine he ʻaho ni.’
But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
29 Pea talaange ʻe ia ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai:’ kae hili ia ne ne fakatomala pea ʻalu.
The son answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind and went.
30 Pea haʻu ia ki hono toko ua, ʻo ne lea pehē pe foki. Pea lea ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻEiki, te u [ʻalu]:’ ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia.
Then the man went to the second son and said the same thing. He answered and said, 'I will go, sir,' but he did not go.
31 Ko hai ia ʻiate kinaua naʻe fai ʻae loto ʻo ʻena tamai?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Ko e ʻuluaki.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tomuʻa hoko ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu.
Which of the two sons did his father's will?” They said, “The first one.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you do.
32 He naʻe haʻu ʻa Sione kiate kimoutolu ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kiate ia: ka naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki: pea hili hoʻomou mamata ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te mou fakatomala ai, ke mou tui kiate ia.”
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, but you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. But you, even when you saw this, you did not repent afterward and believe him.
33 “Fanongo ki he fakatātā ʻe taha: Naʻe ai ʻae ʻeiki ʻe taha, naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, ʻo keli ʻi ai ʻae tataʻoʻanga uaine, ʻo ne langa ʻae fale leʻo, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tangata tauhi ngoue, kae ʻalu ia ki he fonua mamaʻo:
Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner. He planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a watchtower, and rented it out to vine growers. Then he went into another country.
34 Pea kuo ofi hono toʻukai vaine, pea fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu hono ngaahi fua.
When the time of the fruit harvest approached, he sent some servants to the vine growers to get his fruit.
35 Pea puke ʻe he kau tangata ngoue ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo haha ʻae tokotaha, mo tāmateʻi ʻae tokotaha, pea tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻae tokotaha.
But the vine growers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned still another.
36 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki lahi hake ʻi he ʻuluaki: pea nau fai pehē pe kiate kinautolu.
Again, the owner sent other servants, more than the first, but the vine growers treated them in the same way.
37 Pea fekau fakamui ʻe ia ʻa hono foha kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te nau fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoku foha.’
After that, the owner sent his own son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
38 Ka kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ki he foha, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, [ʻo pehē], ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko; haʻu, ke tau tāmateʻi ia, pea tau maʻu hono tofiʻa.’
But when the vine growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take over the inheritance.'
39 Pea naʻa nau puke ia, ʻo lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi ia.
So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Pea ko ia, ʻoka haʻu ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ko e hā te ne fai ki he kau tauhi ngoue ko ia?”
Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine growers?”
41 Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “Te ne fakaʻauha fakamamahi ʻae kau tangata angakovi ko ia, pea tuku ʻene ngoue ki he kau tauhi kehe, te nau ʻoatu kiate ia ʻae fua ʻi hono ngaahi faʻahitaʻu.”
They said to him, “He will destroy those miserable men in the most severe way, and will then rent out the vineyard to other vine growers, men who will give him his share of crops at the harvest time.”
42 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki siʻi te mou lau ʻi he tohi, ‘Ko e maka ko ia naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, ko ia ia kuo hoko ko e fungani ʻoe tuliki; ko e ngāue eni ʻa Sihova, pea ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻi hotau ʻao?’
Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
43 “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻave ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ʻe ʻoatu ia ki ha kakai ʻe tupu ai hono ngaahi fua.
Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation that produces its fruits.
44 Pea ko ia ʻe tō ki he maka ni, ʻe mafesi ai ia: ka ko ia fulipē ʻe tō ia ki ai, te ne momosi ia ke efuefu.”
Whoever falls on this stone will be broken to pieces. But anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
45 Pea kuo fanongo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e Fālesi ki heʻene ngaahi fakatātā, naʻa nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they understood he was speaking about them.
46 Ka ʻi heʻenau holi ke puke ia, naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai, he naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e palōfita ia.”
Seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowd, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
