< Matthew 13 >

1 In (now *k) the day that having gone forth Jesus (from *k) [from] the house was sitting by the sea.
Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia mei he fale, ʻo nofo ʻi he matātahi.
2 And were gathered together to Him crowds great so that He into a boat having climbed into to sit down, and all the crowd on the shore had stood.
Pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ka ka ʻalu ia ki ha vaka, ʻo nofo ai; ka naʻe tutuʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki ʻuta.
3 And He spoke to them many things in parables saying; Behold went out the [one] sowing to sow.
Pea lahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻi he lea fakatātā, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi;
4 And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road, and (having come *N+k+o) the birds (and *ko) devoured them.
“Pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae[tenga ]niʻihi ʻi he veʻe hala, pea haʻu ʻae fanga manupuna ʻo kai ʻo ʻosi ia.
5 Other now fell upon the rocky places where not it was having soil much, and immediately it sprang up through not having depth of soil.
Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he potu makamaka, naʻe siʻi ai ʻae kelekele; pea tupu leva ia, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai matolu ʻae kelekele;
6 when [the] sun now having risen they were scorched, and through the not having root were dried up.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā, naʻe vela ia; pea koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai hano aka, ne mate ia.
7 Other now fell upon the thorns, and grew up the thorns and (choked *N+kO) them.
Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea tupu ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo fakakāsia ia.
8 Other now fell upon the soil good and were yielding fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
Ka naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, pea tupu ai ʻae fua, ko e taki teau ʻae niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻae niʻihi, mo e tolungofulu ʻae niʻihi.”
9 The [one] having ears (to hear *ko) he should hear.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
10 And having come the disciples said to Him; Because of why in parables speak You to them?
Pea haʻu ʻae kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā?”
11 And answering He said to them; Because to you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, to them however not it has been granted.
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Koeʻuhi kuo tuku kiate kimoutolu ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ka ʻoku ʻikai tuku kiate kinautolu.
12 Whoever for has, will be given to him and will be abundant [to him] whoever now not has, even what he has will be taken away from him.
He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu, ʻe toe foaki kiate ia, pea te ne maʻu ʻo lahi; ka ko ia ʻoku ʻikai maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne maʻu.
13 Because of this in parables to them I speak Because seeing not do they see and hearing not do they hear nor do they understand.
Ko ia ʻoku ou lea ai kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā: koeʻuhi ʻoku nau ʻā, kae ʻikai mamata; pea ʻoku nau fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻilo.
14 And is fulfilled (concerning *k) them the prophecy of Isaiah who is saying: In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and looking you will look and certainly not may perceive.
Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻae lea ʻa ʻIsaia, ʻoku pehē, ‘Te mou fakaongoongo pea fanongo, kae ʻikai ongoʻi; pea te mou siofia ʻo mamata, kae ʻikai ʻiloʻi:
15 Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they have heard, and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may return and (I will heal *N+kO) them.’
He kuo fakaongonoa ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ni, pea kuo tuli honau telinga, pea kuo nau fakamohe honau mata: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mamata honau mata, pea ongoʻi honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻe honau loto, pea liliu ai, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.’
16 Of you however blessed [are] the eyes because they see and the ears of you because (they hear. *N+kO)
“Ka ʻoku monūʻia homou mata, he ʻoku nau mamata: mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau ongoʻi.
17 Amen for I say to you that many prophets and righteous [men] longed to see what you see, and not saw, and to hear what you hear, and not heard.
He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tokolahi ʻae palōfita mo e tangata māʻoniʻoni, naʻe holi ke mamata ʻaia ʻoku mou mamata [ai], ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata, pea ke fanongo ʻaia ʻoku mou fanongo[ai], ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo.
18 You yourselves therefore do hear the parable of the [one] (having sown: *N+kO)
“Ko ia ke fanongo ʻakimoutolu ki he fakatātā ʻoe tangata tūtuuʻi.
19 Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding comes the evil one and snatches away that having been sown in the heart of him; This is the [one] on the path having been sown.
‌ʻOka fanongo ʻe ha taha ki he folofola ʻoe puleʻanga, ka ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai, ʻoku haʻu ʻae tokotaha angakovi, ʻo faʻao ʻaia naʻe tūtuuʻi ki hono loto. Ko eni ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he veʻe hala.
20 That which now upon the rocky places having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it.
Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he [potu ] maka, ko ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea maʻu fiefia leva ia;
21 no he has now root in himself but temporary is. when is coming however tribulation or persecution on account of the word immediately he falls away.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai aka ia ʻiate ia, pea ʻoku tolonga siʻi pe ia: he ʻoka hoko ʻae mamahi pe ʻae fakatanga koeʻuhi ko e folofola, ʻoku hinga leva ia.
22 That which now among the thorns having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing, and the care of the age (this *ko) and the deceit of riches choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn g165)
Pea ko ia foki naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he ʻakau talatala, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola; ka ko e tokanga ki māmani, mo e fakaheke ʻe he koloa, ʻoku ne fakakāsiaʻi ʻae folofola, pea taʻefua ai ia. (aiōn g165)
23 That however on the good soil having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and understanding, who indeed brings forth fruit and produces — some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
Ka ko ia naʻa ne maʻu ʻae tenga ʻi he kelekele lelei, ko ia ia ʻoku ne fanongo ki he folofola, pea tokangaʻi; pea tupu ai hono fua, ʻo taki teau ʻi he niʻihi, pea onongofulu ʻi he niʻihi, mo tolungofulu ʻi he niʻihi.”
24 Another parable put He before them saying; Has become like the kingdom of the heavens a man (having sown *N+kO) good seed in the field of him.
Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki heʻene ngoue:
25 In now the [time] to sleep the men came his enemy and (over-sowed *N+kO) weeds in [the] midst of the wheat and went away.
Pea lolotonga ʻae mohe ʻae kakai, naʻe haʻu hono fili ʻo ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga kovi ʻi he uite, kae ʻalu ia.
26 When now sprouted the plants and fruit produced, then appeared also the weeds.
Pea kuo tupu hake hono muka, pea kamata fua, pea toki hā ai foki ʻae ʻakau kovi.
27 Having come to [him] now the servants of the master of the house said to him; Sir, surely good seed did you sow in your field? How then has it (the *k) weeds?
Pea haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeiki, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, ‘ʻEiki, ʻikai naʻa ke tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei ki hoʻo ngoue? Pea kuo tupu mei fē ʻae ʻakau kovi?’
28 He then was saying to them; An enemy a man this did. And the servants (they say *N+kO) to him: Do you desire then [that] having gone forth (we shall gather *NK+o) them?
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ‘Ko e fili kuo ne fai eni.’ Pea pehē ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, ‘ʻE lelei kiate koe ʻemau ʻalu ʻo taʻaki ia [mei ai]?’
29 And (he says; *N+kO) No, lest when lest when gathering the weeds you may uproot together [with] them the wheat.
Ka naʻe pehēange ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai; telia ʻi hoʻomou taʻaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻe mataʻaki ai mo e uite foki.
30 do allow to grow together both (until *N+kO) the harvest; and in (the *k) time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters; do gather first the weeds and do bind them into bundles in order to burn them; and the wheat (do gather together *NK+o) into the barn of mine.’
Tuku ke na tupu fakataha ʻo aʻu ki he ututaʻu: pea ʻi he fai ʻoe ututaʻu te u tala ki he kau tuʻusi, Mou tomuʻa tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi, ʻo noʻo ʻū ke tutu ia: kae tānaki ʻae uite ki hoku feleoko.’”
31 Another parable put He before them saying; Like is the kingdom of the heavens to a grain of mustard, which having taken a man sowed in the field of him;
Pea fakahā atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e foʻi tengaʻi musita, ʻaia naʻe tō ʻe ha tangata ʻi heʻene ngoue.
32 which smallest indeed is of all the seeds, when however it may be grown, greater than the garden plants it is and becomes a tree so that to come the birds of the air and perching in the branches of it.
‌ʻAia ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he tengaʻi [ʻakau ]kotoa pē: ka ʻoka tupu ia, ʻoku lahi taha pe ʻi he faʻahinga ʻakau iiki, pea hoko ia ko e [fuʻu ]ʻakau, ke tuʻu ʻae fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻi hono ngaahi vaʻa.”
33 Another parable spoke He to them: Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven, which having taken a woman (hid *NK+o) in of flour measures three until of it was leavened all.
Pea lea ʻaki ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻe taha; “ʻOku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e meʻa fakatupu, naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo ʻai ki he fua mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, ke ʻoua ke fakatupu kotoa pē ia.”
34 These things all spoke Jesus in parables to the crowds and without a parable (no [thing] *N+kO) He was speaking to them,
Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki he kakai ʻi he fakatātā; pea naʻe ʻikai lea ia kiate kinautolu ka ʻi he fakatātā pe:
35 so that may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying; I will open in parables the mouth of Mine, I will utter [things] hidden from [the] foundation [of the] world.
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita, ʻo pehē, “Te u faʻai hoku ngutu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; te u fakahā atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fufū talu mei he tupu ʻo māmani.”
36 Then having dismissed the crowds He went into the house (Jesus. *k) And came to Him the disciples of Him saying; (do explain *N+kO) to us the parable of the weeds of the field.
Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ʻae kakai, pea hū ia ki he fale: pea haʻu kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ʻoe tenga kovi ʻi he ngoue.”
37 And answering He said (to them: *k) The [One] sowing the good seed is the Son of Man;
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga lelei, ko e Foha ia ʻoe tangata;
38 and the field is the world; and [the] good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil [one];
Ko e ngoue, ko māmani ia; ko e tenga lelei, ko e fānau ia ʻoe puleʻanga; ka ko e tenga kovi, ko e fānau ia ʻae tokotaha angakovi;
39 and the enemy which having sown them is the devil; and the harvest [the] consummation (of the *k) age is; and the harvesters angels are. (aiōn g165)
Ko e fili naʻa ne tūtuuʻi ia, ko e tēvolo ia; ko e ututaʻu, ko e ikuʻanga ʻo māmani; pea ko e kau tuʻusi, ko e kau ʻāngelo. (aiōn g165)
40 As therefore is gathered the weeds and in fire (is burned up, *NK+o) thus it will be in the consummation of the age (this. *k) (aiōn g165)
Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku tānaki ʻae ʻakau kovi ʻo tutu ʻi he afi; ʻe pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻoe māmani. (aiōn g165)
41 Will send forth the Son of Man the angels of Him, and they will gather out of the kingdom of Him all the causes of sin and those practicing lawlessness
‌ʻE fekau atu ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻene kau ʻāngelo, pea te nau tānaki mei hono puleʻanga ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakakovi, mo kinautolu ʻoku fai angahala;
42 and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
Pea ʻe laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father of them. The [one] having ears (to hear *ko) he should hear.
Pea ʻe toki ulo atu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e laʻā ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻenau Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
44 (again *k) Like is the kingdom of the heavens to treasure hidden in the field, which having found a man hid. and for the joy of it goes and he sells all as much as he has and buys the field that.
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e koloa kuo fufū ʻi ha ngoue; ʻaia ka ʻilo ʻe ha tangata, ʻoku ne fufū ia, pea ʻalu fiefia ai, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ʻae ngoue ko ia.
45 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a merchant seeking fine pearls.
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e tangata fakatau, ʻoku kumi mataʻitofe lelei:
46 (who *k) having found (now *no) one very precious pearl, having gone away he has sold all things as much as he was having and he bought it.
‌ʻAia, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻae mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi, ʻoku ʻalu ia, ʻo ne fakatau ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, ke fakatauʻaki ia.
47 Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a dragnet having been cast into the sea and of every kind having gathered together,
“Ko e taha, ʻoku tatau ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi mo e kupenga, naʻe ʻaʻau ʻi tahi, pea tau ai [ʻae ngaahi ika ]kehekehe:
48 which when it was filled having drawn up on the shore and having sat down they collected the good into (vessels, *N+kO) the and bad out they cast.
Pea kuo fonu ia, pea nau taki ki ʻuta, pea nofo ʻo tānaki ʻae lelei ki he ngaahi kato, kae liʻaki ʻae kovi.
49 Thus will it be in the consummation of the age; will go out the angels and will separate the evil from [the] midst of the righteous (aiōn g165)
‌ʻE pehē foki ʻi he ikuʻanga ʻo māmani ʻe haʻu ʻae kau ʻāngelo, ʻo vaheʻi ʻae angahala mei he angatonu, (aiōn g165)
50 and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; There will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
‌ʻO laku ʻakinautolu ki he pupuʻa afi; pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
51 (says to them Jesus *k) Did you understand these things all? They say to Him; Yes (Lord. *k)
Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē?” Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
52 He then said to them; Because of this every scribe having been discipled (into *k) ([in] the kingdom *N+kO) of the heavens like is to a man a master of a house who puts forth out of the treasure of him [things] new and old.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ko e akonaki kotoa pē kuo akonekina ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, ʻoku tatau ia mo e tangata ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi mei heʻene koloa ʻae ngaahi meʻa foʻou mo e meʻa motuʻa.”
53 And it came to pass when finished Jesus parables these, He withdrew from there;
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ni, pea ʻalu ia mei ai.
54 And having come into the region of Him He was teaching them in the synagogue of them so that to be astonished they and to say: From where [came] to this [man] wisdom this and the miraculous powers?
Pea kuo haʻu ia ki hono fonua, naʻa ne akonaki ʻakinautolu ʻi honau falelotu: ko ia ne nau ofo lahi ai, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku mei fē ʻae poto mo e ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻae tangata ni?
55 Surely this is the of the carpenter Son? (Surely *N+kO) the mother of Him is named Mary? And the brothers of Him James and (Joseph *N+kO) and Simon and Judas?
‌ʻIkai ko e foha eni ʻoe tufunga? ʻIkai ʻoku ui ʻene faʻē ko Mele? Mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ko Semisi, mo Sose, mo Saimone, mo Siutasi?
56 And the sisters of Him surely all with us are? From where then to this [man] these things all?
Mo hono ngaahi tuofefine kotoa pē, ʻikai ʻoku nau ʻiate kitautolu? Pea kuo maʻu mei fē ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
57 And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them; Not is a prophet without Honor only except in the hometown (of him *k) and in the household of him.
Pea nau tūkia ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai masiva fakaʻapaʻapa ha palōfita, ka ʻi hono fonua pe, mo hono fale ʻoʻona.”
58 And not He did there miracles many because of the unbelief of them.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fai ai ʻe ia ha mana lahi ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui.
