Te pharisea e te telona

Jesus tells a parable to some people who think they are better and more righteous than others - ch.40-1

I te hoê mahana te paraparau ra te Faaora i te tahi mau taata tei mana‘o e, e mea hau a‘e ratou i te parau ti‘a i te tahi atu mau taata. Ua faati‘a’tura Iesu ia ratou i te hoê aamu.

A Pharisee and a publican go to the temple to pray - ch.40-2

E toopiti na taata i te haereraa i te hiero ra e pure. E pharisea te tahi. E te tahi ra e telona, e putu tute te toro‘a. Aita te taata e au i te feia putu tute. Ua mana‘o ratou e, e feia parau ti‘a ore te feia putu tute

The Pharisee thanks God that he is better than other people - The publican prays for mercy on himself as a sinner - ch.40-3

Te ti‘a noa ra te pharisea i mua i te taata no te pure. Ua haamaitai oia i te Atua i te mea e, ua hau a‘e to’na maitai i to te tahi atu mau taata. Ua parau oia e tata‘ipiti a’na haapaeraa maa i te hepetoma hoê e te aufau nei i ta’na tuhaa ahuru. Area te telona ra te ti‘a noa ra ïa oia ana‘e, ma te taupe te upoo e ma te pure, « e te Atua e aroha mai oe ia‘u te taata hara nei ».

Jesus explains that the Pharisee thought he did not sin or need help from God, but the publican admitted sinning and wanted to repent - ch.40-4

Ua mana‘o te pharisea e ua hope roa oia i te maitai e aita ho‘i i hinaaro i te tauturu a te Atua. Area te telona ra, ua ite ïa e aita oia i hope i te maitai e te hinaaro nei oia i te tauturu a te Atua. E haehaa to roto ia’na e ua ani oia i te Atua ia faaore mai i ta’na hapa.

Jesus tells the people to be like the publican because he, not the Pharisee, would be forgiven - ch.40-5

Ua parau atu ra Iesu e, e ti‘a i te taata ia riro mai te telona ra te huru. Eiaha ratou e feruri e, ua hau a‘e ratou i te maitai i te mau taata atoa. Ia tatarahapa ratou i ta ratou mau hara e ti‘a ai, e ia ani i te Atua ia faaore mai i ta ratou hapa.
