Luke 15
1Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.
1PEA naʻe feʻunui atu ai kiate ia ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau mo e kau angahala kotoa pē, ke fanongo kiate ia.
2And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
2Pea naʻe lāunga ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he tangata ni ʻae kau angahala, ʻo kai mo kinautolu.”
3So he told them this parable:
3Pea ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
4“Ko hai ha tangata ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku teau ʻene sipi, pea ka mole honau taha, ʻe ʻikai tuku ʻae hivangofulu ma hiva ʻi he toafa, kae ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻaia kuo mole, kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ia?
5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5Pea ka ʻiloʻi ʻe ia, ʻoku ne hili ia ki hono uma, pea fiefia.
6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
6Pea ka haʻu ia ki ʻapi, ʻoku ne ui ke fakataha ʻae kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi, ʻone pehē kiate kinautolu, ‘Tau fiefia mo au, he kuo u ʻilo ʻa ʻeku sipi ʻaia naʻe mole.’
7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
7ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE pehē foki ʻae fiefia ʻi he langi ʻo lahi ʻi he fakatomala ʻae angahala ʻe tokotaha, ʻi he angatonu ʻe toko hivangofulu ma toko hiva, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke nau fakatomala.
8“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?
8“Pea ko hai ha fefine ʻoku hongofulu ʻene paʻanga siliva, pea ka mole ha paʻanga ʻe taha, ʻe ʻikai te ne tutu ʻae maama, mo tafi ʻae fale, ʻo kumi lahi, kaeʻoua ke ʻilo ia?
9And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’
9Pea ka ʻilo ia, ʻoku ne ui ke fakataha ʻae kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Tau fiefia mo au, he kuo u ʻilo ʻae paʻanga naʻe mole ʻiate au.’
10Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
10ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku pehē ʻae fiefia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakatomala ʻae angahala ʻe tokotaha.”
11And he said,“There was a man who had two sons.
11Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻe ai ʻae tangata naʻe toko ua hono foha.
12And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’And he divided his property between them.
12Pea pehē ʻe he kimui ki heʻene tamai, ‘Tamai, tuku mai haku tufakanga ʻi he koloa ʻoku ʻaʻaku.’ Pea ne vaeua kiate kinaua ʻa ʻene meʻa.
13Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
13Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho siʻi, naʻe tānaki ʻe he foha ki mui ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo fononga ki he fonua mamaʻo, ʻo maumauʻi ai ʻene koloa ʻi heʻene moʻui angakovi.
14And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need.
14Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia kotoa pē, naʻe tō ʻae honge lahi ki he fonua ko ia; pea hoko ia ʻo fiekaia.
15So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
15Pea ʻalu ia ʻo nofo ki he tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻoe fonua ko ia; pea ne fekau ia ki hono potu fonua ke tauhi ʻae fanga puaka.
16And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
16Pea naʻe feinga ia ke fakamākona ʻaki ia ʻae ngeʻesi naʻe kai ʻe he fanga puaka: he naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe foaki kiate ia.
17“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!
17“Pea kuo poto ia, pea ne pehē, ‘ʻOku toko fiha ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki totongi ʻa ʻeku tamai kuo lahi mo toe ʻenau mā, ka ʻoku ou mate ʻi he fiekaia!
18I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
18Te u tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamai, pea te u pehē kiate ia, “Tamai, kuo u fai angahala ki he langi, pea ʻi ho ʻao;
19I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’
19Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻaonga ke ui ko ho foha; ka ke tuku au ke u tatau mo ha taha ʻi hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki totongi.”|’
20And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
20“Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻene tamai. Ka ʻi heʻene kei mamaʻo ʻaupito, naʻe mamata ʻa ʻene tamai kiate ia, pea manavaʻofa, mo lele, pea fāʻufua ia, ʻo ʻuma kiate ia.
21And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
21Pea pehē ʻe he foha kiate ia, ‘Tamai, kuo u angahala ki he langi, pea ʻi ho ʻao, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u kei ʻaonga ke ui ko ho foha.’
22But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
22“Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he tamai ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, ‘ʻOmi ʻae pulupulu fungani lelei, ʻo ʻai kiate ia; pea ʻai mo e mama ki hono nima, mo e topuvaʻe ki hono vaʻe:
23And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.
23Pea ʻomi ki heni ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino, ʻo tāmateʻi ia; pea ke tau kai, mo fiefia:
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’And they began to celebrate.
24He ko hoku foha eni naʻe mate, pea kuo toe moʻui; naʻe mole ia, pea kuo ʻiloʻi.’ Pea naʻa nau kamata fiefia.
25“Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
25“Pea naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻa hono ʻuluaki foha; pea ʻi heʻene haʻu ʻo ofi ki he fale, naʻe fanongo ia ki he meʻa faiva mo e meʻe.
26And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
26Pea naʻa ne ui ki ha taha ʻoe kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻone fehuʻi ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
27And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’
27Pea ne tala kiate ia, ‘Kuo haʻu ho tehina; pea kuo tāmateʻi ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino,’ koeʻuhi kuo ne maʻu ia ʻoku moʻui lelei pe.
28But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him,
28Ka naʻe ʻita ia, pea ʻikai ʻalu ki ai: ko ia naʻe haʻu ai kituʻa ʻa ʻene tamai, ʻo fakakolekole kiate ia.
29but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
29Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange ki heʻene tamai, ‘Vakai, ko e ngaahi taʻu lahi ni mo ʻeku tauhiʻi koe, pea naʻe ʻikai teu talangataʻa ki hoʻo fekau ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha: ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ke foaki kiate au ha ʻuhikiʻi kosi, koeʻuhi ke u fakafiefia ai mo hoku kāinga.
30But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
30Ka kuo haʻu leva ho foha ko eni, ʻaia naʻe maumauʻi hoʻo koloa mo e kau faʻa feʻauaki, pea ke tāmateʻi maʻana ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino.’
31And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
31“Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Foha, ʻoku ta nofomaʻu mo au, pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaku ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.
32It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
32Naʻe taau ʻemau fakafiefia mo nekeneka: he ko ho tehina eni naʻe mate, ka kuo toe moʻui ia; pea naʻe mole, ka kuo ʻilo ia.’|”
