Te Evaselio ʼa Mateo

20 “Koteʼuhi ʼe feala ke fakatatau te Puleʼaga ʼo selo ki te pule ʼo he ʼapi ʼe alu ʼi te kei uhuuhu ʼo kumi he kau gaue ki tana gaueʼaga vite.+ 2 ʼI tana ʼosi tukuʼaki mo te kau gaue ki he foʼi tenalio* ʼe tahi ʼi te ʼaho, neʼe ina fekauʼi ai natou ki tana gaueʼaga vite. 3 Neʼe toe alu ʼi te vaʼevaʼe hola hiva uhu,* pea neʼe sio ai ki ʼihi ʼe natou tutuʼu noa ʼi te fakatauʼaga koloa. 4 Neʼe ina ui age kia natou: ‘Kotou olo mo koutou ki te gaueʼaga vite pea ʼe au foaki atu anai te totogi ʼae ʼe totonu.’ 5 Neʼe natou olo ai. Pea neʼe toe alu ʼi te vaʼevaʼe fetapa* mo te vaʼevaʼe hola tolu hili hoʼata,* pea neʼe ina toe fai feia pe. 6 Pea ʼi te vaʼevaʼe hola nima afiafi,* neʼe toe alu leva ʼo ina maʼu ʼihi ʼe natou tutuʼu noa, pea neʼe ina ui age kia natou: ‘He koʼe ʼe kotou tutuʼu noa ʼi heni ʼi te ʼaho katoa?’ 7 Neʼe natou tali age: ‘Koteʼuhi neʼe mole he tahi neʼe ina fakagaueʼi matou.’ Neʼe ina ui age: ‘Kotou olo mo koutou ki te gaueʼaga vite.’

8 “ ʼI te afiafi, neʼe ui e te pule ʼo te gaueʼaga vite ki tana tagata takitaki gaue: ‘Pauʼi te kau gaue pea ke li age ʼonatou totogi,+ ʼo ke kamata mai te kau gaue ʼae neʼe mumuli mai pea ke fakaʼosi kia natou ʼae neʼe mumuʼa mai.’ 9 ʼI te olo age ʼa te ʼu tagata ʼae neʼe kamata gaue ʼi te hola nima afiafi, neʼe natou tahi maʼu tana foʼi tenalio* ʼe tahi. 10 Pea ʼi te olo age ʼa natou ʼae neʼe mumuʼa, neʼe natou manatu ʼe lahi age anai ʼonatou totogi, kae neʼe toe totogi natou ʼaki te foʼi tenalio* ʼe tahi. 11 ʼI tanatou maʼu ʼonatou totogi, neʼe natou mumuna ʼo ʼuhiga mo te pule ʼo te ʼapi, 12 pea mo natou ui: ‘Ko natou ʼaeni neʼe mumuli mai, neʼe natou gaue pe ʼi he hola katoa, kae ʼe ke fakatatau natou pea mo matou ʼaeni neʼe gaue kinakina mo laʼaina ʼi te ʼaho katoa!’ 13 Kae neʼe ina tali age ki te tahi ia natou: ‘Tagata, ʼe mole au fai atu he aga ʼe kovi. Neʼe mole koa la ta tukuʼaki ki he foʼi tenalio* ʼe tahi?+ 14 Toʼo tou totogi pea ke alu. ʼE au fia foaki ki ʼae neʼe muli mai ke tatau mo koe. 15 ʼE mole feala koa la ke au fai te meʼa ʼae ʼe au loto ki ai ʼaki ʼoku koloa? Peʼe ke maheka koa koe* he ʼe au fai te meʼa ʼae ʼe lelei?’*+ 16 Koia, ko natou ʼae ʼe mumuli ʼe natou mumuʼa anai, pea ko natou ʼae ʼe mumuʼa ʼe natou mumuli anai.”+

17 ʼI tanatou hake ʼae ki Selusalemi, neʼe toʼo ʼateaina e Sesu ia te ʼu tisipulo ʼe toko 12 pea mo ina ui age kia natou ʼi te ala:+ 18 “ ʼE tou hake ki Selusalemi, pea ʼe tuku anai te Foha ʼo te tagata ki te kau pelepitelo pule pea mo te kau sekelipa. ʼE natou fakatuʼā anai ki te mate+ 19 pea ʼe natou tuku anai ia ia ki te hahaʼi ʼae ʼe mole Sutea ke manukiʼi, ke huipiʼi pea ke tutuki ki he pou.+ Pea ʼe fakatuʼuake anai ʼi te tolu ʼaho.”+

20 Neʼe fakaovi age kia Sesu te ʼohoana ʼo Sepeteo+ pea mo ʼana tama, pea neʼe hu kia te ia mo ina fia fai age tana kole.+ 21 Neʼe ui age e Sesu: “Kotea ʼae ʼe ke loto ki ai?” Neʼe ina tali age: “Fakatotonu ke heheka ʼaku tama ʼaeni ʼe toko lua ʼi tou Puleʼaga, he tahi ʼi tou toʼomataʼu pea mo he tahi ʼi tou toʼohema.”+ 22 Neʼe ui age e Sesu ki te ʼu tama: “ ʼE mole kolua mahino ki te meʼa ʼae ʼe kolua kole mai. ʼE kolua lava inu koa ki te ipu ʼae ʼe au ʼamanaki inu?”+ Neʼe nā tali age: “ ʼE ma lavaʼi.” 23 Neʼe ina ui age kia naua: “ ʼE moʼoni, ʼe kolua iinu anai ki toku ipu,+ kae ki te heka ʼi toku toʼomataʼu pea mo toku toʼohema ʼe mole fakalogo ia kia te au, kae ʼe ʼa natou ʼae neʼe teuteuʼi ki ai e taku Tamai.”+

24 ʼI te iloʼi e te toko hogofulu te meʼa ʼae neʼe fai e te tau tehina, neʼe natou iita ai kia naua.+ 25 Kae neʼe pauʼi natou e Sesu kia te ia pea neʼe ina ui age: “ ʼE kotou iloʼi ko te ʼu hau ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga ʼe natou puleʼi te hahaʼi pea ʼe takitaki fakamalohi natou e te kau maʼu tuʼulaga.+ 26 ʼE mole tonu ke kotou feia.+ Kae ko ʼae ʼe loto ke liliu ʼo lahi, ʼe tonu ke ina tauhi koutou,+ 27 pea ko ʼae ʼe loto ke ʼuluaki, ʼe tonu ke liliu ko hakotou kaugana.+ 28 Ohage pe ko te Foha ʼo te tagata, neʼe mole haʼu ia ke tauhi ia ia, kae ke ina tauhi te hahaʼi+ pea mo foaki tona maʼuli* ko he totogi* maʼa te tokolahi.”+

29 ʼI tanatou mavae mai Seliko, neʼe mulimuli ia te ia te hahaʼi kaugamalie. 30 Neʼe ʼi ai te ʼu tagata kivi ʼe toko lua neʼe nā heheka ʼi te vaʼe ala pea neʼe nā logo ʼe ko Sesu ʼae ʼe fakalaka. Neʼe nā kalaga: “ ʼAliki, Foha ʼo Tavite, ʼofa mai kia maua!”+ 31 Neʼe munaʼi ai naua e te hahaʼi ke nā fakalogologo. Kae neʼe toe ʼaʼasili age tanā kalaga: “ ʼAliki, Foha ʼo Tavite, ʼofa mai kia maua!” 32 Pea neʼe tuʼu ai ia Sesu, ʼo pauʼi naua pea mo ui age: “Kotea ʼae ʼe kolua loto ke au fai maʼa koulua?” 33 Neʼe nā ui age kia te ia: “ ʼAliki, ke ma toe sisio.” 34 ʼI te ʼofa mamahi ʼa Sesu ia naua, neʼe fa ki ʼonā mata,+ ʼo nā sisio atu aipe pea nā mulimuli ai ia te ia.
