Mātiu 11
1When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
1PEA kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻene akonaki ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ke akonaki mo malanga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo.
2Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples
2Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Kalaisi, pea fekau atu ʻe ia ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua,
3and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”
3ʻO na pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu, pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
4And Jesus answered them,“Go and tell John what you hear and see:
4Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mo fanongo, mo mamata ki ai:
5the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
5ʻOku ʻā ʻae kui, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, ʻoku maʻa ʻae kilia, pea ongo ʻae tuli, pea fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he kakai masiva.
6And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
6Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tūkia, ʻiate au.”
7As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John:“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
7Pea kuo na ō, pea lea ʻa Sisu ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ha vaʻa kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
8What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
8Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha tangata ʻoku kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu molū ʻoku nau ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
9What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
9Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
10This is he of whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
10He ko eni ia kuo tohi ki ai, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻeku talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala ʻi ho ʻao.’
11Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
11Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai tupu ha tokotaha lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻiate kinautolu kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.
12From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.
12Pea talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻoku fai mālohi ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku lavaʻi fakamālohi ia ʻe he kau mālohi.
13For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
13He naʻe akonaki ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e fono ʻo hoko mo Sione.
14and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
14Pea kapau ʻoku mou faʻa maʻu ia, ko ʻIlaisiā eni, ʻaia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu.
15He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
15Ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
16“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
16“Ka te u fakatatau ʻae toʻutangata ni ki he hā? ʻOku tatau ia mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau ui ki honau niʻihi,
17“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
17ʻO pehē, ‘Naʻa mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻikai te mou meʻe; naʻa mau hiva fakatangi kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai te mou tangi.’
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
18He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
19Ka kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala.’ Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau.”
20Then he began to denounce the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
20Pea toki kamata valoki ʻe ia ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe fai lahi ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue mana, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau taʻefakatomala:
21“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
21“ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Peteseta! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitone ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala ʻi he tauangaʻa mo e efuefu.
22But I tell you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.
22Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitone ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate kimoutolu.
23And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
23Pea ko Koe Kapaneume, ʻa Koe kuo hiki ki he langi, ʻe fakahifo Koe ki heli: he ka ne fai ʻi Sotoma ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate koe, pehē, kuo tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
24But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you.”
24Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate koe.”
25At that time Jesus declared,“I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
25Pea lea ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻe Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale.
26yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
26Ke pehē, ʻe Tamai: he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
27All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
27“Kuo tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻAlo ʻe ha taha, ka ko e Tamai pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae Tamai ʻe ha taha, ka ko e ʻAlo pe, mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.
28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
28“Haʻu kiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku feinga mo māfasia, pea te u foaki ʻae fiemālie kiate kimoutolu.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
29Toʻo ʻeku haʻamonga kiate kimoutolu, pea mou ako ʻiate au; he ʻoku ou angavaivai mo angamalū: pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
30He ʻoku faingofua pe ʻeku haʻamonga, pea ʻoku maʻamaʻa ʻeku kavenga.”
