Ko e Tangata Fālesí mo e Tangata Tānaki Tukuhaú

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

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha ne talanoa ai ʻa Sīsū ki ha kakai ne nau fakakaukau naʻa nau angatonu ange kinautolu ʻi he kakai kehé. Ne fai ʻe Sīsū ha talanoa kiate kinautolu.

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

Ne ō ha ongo tangata ki he temipalé ke lotu. Ko e taha ko ha tangata Fālesi. Ko e tahá ko ha tangata tānaki tukuhau. Naʻe ʻikai ke saiʻia e kakaí ʻi he taha tānaki tukuhaú. Naʻa nau fakakaukau naʻe ʻikai ke faitotonu e kau tānaki tukuhaú.

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

Naʻe mavahe atu pē ki muʻa ʻa e tangata Fālesí mei he niʻihi kehé ke lotu. Naʻá ne fakamālō ki he ʻOtuá ko ʻene lelei ange ʻi he kakai kehé. Naʻá ne pehē naʻá ne ʻaukai tuʻo ua he uike mo totongi ʻene vahehongofulú. Naʻe tuʻu toko taha pē ʻa e tangata tānaki tukuhaú, punou hono ʻulú, pea lotu. “ ʻE ʻOtua ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.”

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

Naʻe fakakaukau e tangata Fālesí naʻá ne haohaoa pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fie maʻu ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangata tānaki tukuhaú naʻe ʻikai ke ne haohaoa pea naʻá ne fie maʻu e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne loto fakatōkilalo mo ne kole ki he ʻOtuá ke fakamolemoleʻi ia.

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

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻoku totonu ke hangē ʻa e kakaí ko e tangata tānaki tukuhaú. ʻOku totonu ke ʻoua te nau fakakaukau ʻoku nau sai ange kinautolu ʻi he kakai kehé. ʻOku totonu ke nau fakatomala mei heʻenau ngaahi angahalá mo kole ki he ʻOtuá ke fakamolemoleʻi kinautolu.
