Luke 11
1Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
1PEA naʻe pehē, naʻe lotu ia ʻi he potu ʻe taha, pea hili ia, naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha ʻo ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻEiki, akonakiʻi ʻakimautolu ke lotu, ʻo hangē ko e ako ʻa Sione ki heʻene kau ākonga.”
2And he said to them,“When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
2Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka lotu, mou pehē, Ko ʻemau Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, Ke tāpuhā ho huafa. Ke hoko mai hoʻo pule. Ke fai ʻa māmani ki ho finangalo, ʻo hangē ʻi he langi.
3Give us each day our daily bread,
3Ke foaki mai kiate kimautolu haʻamau meʻakai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
4and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
4Pea ke fakamolemole kiate kimautolu ʻemau angahala; He ʻoku mau fakamolemole foki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku angahala mai kiate kimautolu. Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku kimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi; Kae fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei he kovi.”
5And he said to them,“Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
5Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe ai hano kāinga, ʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻi he tuʻuapō, ʻo pehē ki ai, ‘Kāinga, ko ʻeku nō ʻae foʻi mā ʻe tolu;
6for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;
6He ko e kāinga ʻoʻoku kuo haʻu kiate au ʻi he fononga, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku meʻa ke tuku ki hono ʻao?’
7and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’?
7Pea ʻe lea mai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto fale, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke fakafiuʻi au; kuo tāpuni ʻae matapā, pea kuo mau ʻi he mohenga mo ʻeku fānau; ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa tuʻu hake ʻo foaki kiate koe.’
8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
8ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuʻu hake ia ʻo foaki ai, koeʻuhi ko hono kāinga ia, ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kole tāumaʻu, ʻe tuʻu hake ai ia, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene masiva.
9And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
9“Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kole, pea ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo kiate kimoutolu.
10For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
10He ko ia ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ʻe toʻo kiate ia ʻoku tukituki.
11What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
11Ko e tamai fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻa hono foha, te ne ʻange ki ai ha maka? Pe ko e ika, ʻe tuku ʻae ika kae ʻatu ki ai ha ngata?
12or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
12Pe ʻi heʻene kole ʻae foʻi manu, te ne ʻatu ki ai ha sikopio?
13If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
13Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo, ka ko e angakovi, ke foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki hoʻomou fānau; ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fie foaki ʻe he Tamai ʻi he langi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?”
14Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled.
14Pea naʻe kapusi ʻae tēvolo, ʻaia naʻe noa. Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo, naʻe lea ʻae noa; pea ofo ai ʻae kakai.
15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,”
15Ka naʻe pehē ʻe honau niʻihi, “ʻOku ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
16while others, to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
16Pea ʻahiʻahi ʻe he niʻihi, ʻonau kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi.
17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them,“Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
17Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau mahalo, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e fale ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe holo ia.
18And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
18Pea kapau ʻe feʻiteʻitani ʻa Sētane kiate ia, ʻe tuʻu fēfē hono puleʻanga? He ʻoku mou pehē ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ia Pelisipupe.
19And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
19Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻia hai ʻe homou ngaahi foha? Ko ia ko hoʻomou kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu.
20But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
20Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻaki ʻae louhiʻi nima ʻoe ʻOtua, tā kuo hoko moʻoni ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe;
21“ʻOka leʻohi hono fale ʻe ha tangata mālohi mo e mahafutau, ʻoku malu pe ʻene ngaahi meʻa:
22but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.
22Ka ʻi he hoko kiate ia ha taha ʻoku mālohi lahi, ʻo ikuʻi ia, ʻoku ne faʻao ʻa ʻene mahafu kotoa pē naʻe falala ia ki ai, pea tufaki ʻene meʻa.
23Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
23“Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku fakahē ʻe ia.
24“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
24“ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli ʻi ha tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he ngaahi potu mōmoa, ʻo kumi mālōlōʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia; pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale naʻaku haʻu mei ai.’
25And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order.
25Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, ʻoku ne ʻilo ia kuo tafi mo teuteu.
26Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first.”
26Pea toki ʻalu ai ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku angahala lahi ʻiate ia; pea nau hū ʻo nofo ki ai: pea kovi lahi ʻa e anga ki mui ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene anga ʻi muʻa.
27As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!”
27Pea pehē, naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo e kalanga mai ʻae fefine mei he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku monūʻia ʻae manāva naʻa ne fua ʻaki koe, pea mo e huhu naʻa ke huhū ai.”
28But he said,“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
28Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo, ka ʻoku monūʻia lahi hake ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea fai ki ai.”
29When the crowds were increasing, he began to say,“This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
29Pea kuo lolofi mai ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea fua lea ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e toʻutangata angakovi eni; ʻoku nau kumi ʻae fakaʻilonga; ka ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona.
30For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
30ʻO hangē ko e fakaʻilonga ʻa Siona ki he kakai Ninive, ʻe pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he toʻutangata ni.
31The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
31ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi-fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia; he naʻe haʻu ia mei he potu mamaʻo ʻo māmani ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Solomone.
32The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
32ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaʻia ia: he naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
33“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
33“ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne tutu ha maama, pea tuku ia ki ha potu lilo, pe ʻi he lalo puha fua, ka ki he tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku hū ki ai.
34Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.
34Ko e maama ʻoe sino ʻae mata: ko ia kapau ʻe haohaoa ho mata, ʻe pito foki ho sino kotoa ʻi he maama; ko ia kapau ʻoku kovi ho mata, ʻe fonu foki ho sino ʻi he poʻuli.
35Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.
35Ko ia vakai naʻa hoko ʻae maama ʻoku ʻiate koe koe poʻuli.
36If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”
36Ko ia kapau ʻe māmangia ho sino kotoa, pea taʻefakapoʻuli hano potu, ʻe māmangia kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko e fakamaama ʻaki koe ʻae fuʻu ulo ʻoe maama.”
37While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table.
37Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene kole ʻae Fālesi ʻe tokotaha kiate ia ke na kai mo ia: pea ʻalu ia ki ai, ʻo nofo hifo ke kai.
38The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.
38Pea ofo ʻae Fālesi ʻi heʻene mamata naʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa fanofano, pea toki kai.
39And the Lord said to him,“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
39Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, “Ko eni ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻoku mou fakamaʻa ʻae tuʻa ipu inu mo e ipu kai, ka ʻoku fonu homou loto ʻi he fakamālohi mo e angakovi.
40You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
40ʻAe kau vale, ʻikai ko ia pe naʻa ne ngaohi ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa, naʻe ngaohi foki ʻaia ʻoku ʻi loto?
41But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
41Ka mou foaki muʻa ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa mei he meʻa ʻoku mou maʻu; pea vakai, ʻoku maʻa ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu.
42“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
42“Kae malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou tukuhau ʻi he mini mo e pekano mo e ngaahi ʻakau iiki kotoa pē, ka ʻoku mou taʻetokanga ki he fakamaau mo e ʻofa ki he ʻOtua: naʻe totonu ke fai eni, kaeʻoua naʻa liʻaki ʻena.
43Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.
43“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau Fālesi! He ʻoku mou manako ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau.
44Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
44ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ko e mālualoi! He ʻoku mou tatau mo e ngaahi faʻitoka ʻoku ʻikai hā mai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ai.”
45One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.”
45Pea toki lea mai ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau akonaki ʻi he fono, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻi hoʻo pehē mai, ʻoku ke valoki ai ʻakimautolu foki.”
46And he said,“Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
46Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu foki, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He ʻoku mou hili ki he kakai ʻae ngaahi kavenga ʻoku fakamamahi hono fua, ka ʻoku ʻikai ala ʻekimoutolu haʻamou tuhu ʻe taha ki he ngaahi kavenga.
47Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.
47ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu! He ʻoku mou langa ʻae ngaahi fonualoto ʻoe kau palōfita, ʻakinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
48So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
48Ko e moʻoni ʻoku mou fakamoʻoni ʻoku mou leleiʻia ʻi he faianga ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai: he naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ʻoku mou langa honau ngaahi fonualoto.
49Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’
49Ko ia naʻe pehē ai foki ʻae poto ʻae ʻOtua, ‘Te u fekau atu kiate kinautolu ʻae kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, pea ko honau niʻihi te nau tāmateʻi mo fakatanga:’
50so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,
50Koeʻuhi ke ʻeke ki he toʻutangata ni ʻae toto ʻoe kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe lilingi talu mei he tupuʻanga ʻo māmani;
51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
51Mei he toto ʻo ʻEpeli, ʻo aʻu ki he toto ʻo Sakalaia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ʻesifeilaulau mo e potu toputapu: ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻeke ia mei he toʻutangata ni.
52Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
52“ʻE malaʻia ʻakimoutolu, ʻae kau akonaki ʻi he fono! He kuo mou ʻave ʻae ki ʻoe ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou hū ki ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ko kinautolu naʻe teu ke hū ki ai naʻa mou taʻofi.”
53As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things,
53Pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kinautolu, naʻe kamata fai fakamatalili mo langaʻi ia ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ke ne lea ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi:
54lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.
54ʻO nau lamasi, mo kumi ke femioʻekina ia mei hono ngutu, koeʻuhi ke nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
