1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus
1ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fanongo ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi ki he ongoongo ʻo Sisu.
2and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
2Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Ko Sione eni ko e Papitaiso: he kuo tuʻu hake ia mei he mate; pea ko ia ʻoku hā ai ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi.”
3Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
3¶ He naʻe puke mo haʻi ʻe Helota ʻa Sione, ʻo tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko Helotiasi, ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe.
4because John had been telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
4He naʻe pehē ʻe Sione kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua haʻo maʻu ia.”
5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he was afraid of the people, because they regarded John as a prophet.
5Pea ʻi heʻene tokanga ke tāmateʻi ia, naʻe manavahē ia ki he kakai, he naʻa nau lau ia ko e palōfita.
6On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
6Ka ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamanatuʻi ai ʻae fāʻeleʻi ʻo Helota, naʻe meʻe ʻi honau ʻao ʻae taʻahine ʻa Helotiasi, pea mālieʻia ai ʻa Helota.
7so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
7“Ko ia naʻa ne fuakava ai ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē te ne kole ki ai.”
8Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
8Pea kuo tomuʻa akonekina ia ʻe heʻene faʻē, pea ne pehē, “Tuku mai ni kiate au ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻi ha ipu.”
9The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
9Pea mamahi ai ʻae tuʻi: ka koeʻuhi ko ʻene fuakava, mo kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻa ne fekau ke ʻange ia kiate ia .
10and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
10Pea ne fekau ai ke tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula.
11John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
11Pea naʻe ʻomi hono ʻulu ʻi he ipu, ʻo ʻoatu ki he taʻahine: pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē.
12Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
12Pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻave ʻae sino, mo tanu, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā kia Sisu.
13When Jesus heard about John, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds found out about it and followed Him on foot from the towns.
13Pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea heka vaka ia, ʻo ʻalu mei he potu ko ia ki ha potu lala: pea fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai, pea nau hala ʻuta, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia mei he ngaahi kolo.
14When He stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
14Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, pea ʻofa mamahi ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻenau ngaahi mahaki.
15When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
15¶ Pea kuo efiafi ai, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e potu lala eni, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho; fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi potu kakai, ke fakatau meʻakai maʻanautolu.”
16“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
16Ka naʻe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻenau ʻalu: mou ʻoatu haʻanau kai.”
17“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
17Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e foʻi mā pe ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heni.”
18“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
18Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
19And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
19Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki lalo ki he mohuku, pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻo hanga hake ki he langi, ʻo tāpuaki, mo tofitofi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea tufaki ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
20Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, ʻo mākona: pea tānaki ʻae toenga kai, pea pito ai ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
21About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
21Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
22¶ Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga ke nau heka vaka, ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ke ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
23After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
23Pea kuo ne fekau ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, pea ʻalu hake tokotaha pe ia ki he moʻunga ke lotu: pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, ʻoku ne kei ʻi ai tokotaha pe.
24but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
24Ka kuo ʻi he vaha ʻae vaka, ʻo tō mo hopo ʻi he peau: he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
25During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
25Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe leʻo ʻi he pō naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo hāʻele ʻi he fukahi tahi.
26When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
26Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau ākonga ki heʻene hāʻele ʻi he fukahi tahi, naʻa nau manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e laumālie!” Pea nau tangi kalanga ʻi he manavahē.
27But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
27Ka naʻe lea leva ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Fiemālie pe; he ko au pe; ʻoua te mou manavahē.”
28“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
28Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kapau ko koe, fekau mai ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he vai.”
29“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
29Pea ne pehē, “Haʻu.” Pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita mei he vaka, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he tahi, ke ʻalu atu kia Sisu.
30But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
30Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku mālohi ʻae matangi, naʻe manavahē ia; pea kamata ngalo hifo, pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, fakamoʻui au.”
31Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
31Pea mafao leva ʻae nima ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne puke ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻA koe ʻoku siʻi hoʻo tui, ko e hā ʻoku ke fakataʻetaʻetui ai?’
32And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
32Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki he vaka, pea malū ʻae matangi.
33Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
33Pea haʻu ai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he vaka, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.
34¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu, naʻa nau tuʻu ki ʻuta ki he fonua ko Kenesaleti.
35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding region. People brought all the sick to Him
35Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai ʻoe potu ko ia, naʻa nau fanongonongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ia, ʻo omi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki;
36and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
36ʻO nau kole kiate ia ke nau ala pe ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea naʻe fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ala ki ai.
