1When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He told His disciples,
1Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi akonaki ni kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga,
2“You know that the Passover is two days away, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.”
2“ʻOku mou ʻilo ka hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua ʻe hoko ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, pea ʻe lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke tutuki ki he ʻakau.”
3At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
3Pea toki fakataha ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi naʻe ui ko Kaiafasi,
4and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.
4ʻonau fakakaukau pe fēfē ʻenau puke ia, kae tāmateʻi ia ?
5“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
5Ka naʻa nau pehē, “Kae ʻikai ʻi he kātoanga, telia naʻa ai ha maveuveu ʻi he kakai.”
6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of Simon the Leper,
6¶ Pea naʻe ʻi Pētani ʻa Sisu, ʻi he fale ʻo Saimone ko e kilia,
7a woman came to Him with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, which she poured on His head as He reclined at the table.
7Mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ha fefine, naʻe ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo mahuʻinga lahi ʻaupito, ʻo ne lilingi ia ki hono fofonga, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻo taumafa.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant and asked, “Why this waste?
8Ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau lea ʻita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo maumauʻi ai eni?
9This perfume could have been sold at a high price, and the money given to the poor.”
9He naʻe mei fakatau ʻae lolo ni ʻaki ʻae koloa lahi, pea foaki ia ki he masiva.”
10Aware of this, Jesus asked, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
10Pea kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakamamahi ai ki he fefine? He kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue lelei kiate au.
11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have Me.
11He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu maʻuaipē au.
12By pouring this perfume on Me, she has prepared My body for burial.
12Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene lilingi ʻae lolo ni ki hoku sino, kuo ne fai ia ko e teu ki hoku putu.
13Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
13Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e potu kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻe malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei ni, ʻe fakahā ai foki ʻaia kuo fai ʻe he fefine ni, ko hono fakamanatuʻi.”
14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
14¶ Pea toki ʻalu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi ha taha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ui ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote,
15and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?” And they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
15ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā te mou ʻomi kiate au, kau lavakiʻi ia kiate kimoutolu?” Pea nau alea mo ia ki he konga siliva ʻe tolungofulu.
16So from then on Judas looked for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
16Pea talu mei ai mo ʻene lamasi ia ke tuʻumālie ʻa hono lavakiʻi.
17On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
17¶ Pea naʻe haʻu kia Sisu ʻae kau ākonga ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke loto ke mau teuteu ʻi fē ke ke kai ai ʻi he Lakaatu.”
18He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”
18Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Mou ō ki he tangata ko ia ʻi he kolo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻae ʻEiki, “Kuo ofi hoku ʻaho, pea te mau kai ʻae Lakaatu ʻi ho fale mo ʻeku kau ākonga.”’”
19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
19Pea naʻe fai ʻe he kau ākonga ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu; pea nau teu ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.
20When evening came, Jesus was reclining with the twelve disciples.
20Pea kuo hoko ʻae efiafi, pea nofo ia mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
21And while they were eating, He said to them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray Me.”
21Pea ʻi heʻenau kai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe lavakiʻi au ʻe homou tokotaha.”
22They were deeply grieved and began to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
22Pea naʻa nau mamahi lahi, ʻonau taki taha kamata fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē , “ʻEiki, ko au ia?”
23Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with Me will betray Me.
23Pea lea ia ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻokuma ʻai mo au homa nima ki he ipu kai, ko ia ia te ne lavakiʻi au.
24The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
24ʻOku ʻalu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi kiate ia: kae malaʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻaia ʻoku lavakiʻi ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata! Naʻe lelei ki he tangata ko ia ʻoka ne ʻikai fanauʻi ia.”
25Then Judas, who would betray Him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said it yourself.”
25Pea toki lea ʻa Siutasi, ʻaia ne lavakiʻi ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, ko au ia?” Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko ia pe.”
26While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is My body.”
26¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe Sisu ʻae mā, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi, mo tofitofi, pea ʻatu ki he kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Toʻo, ʻo kai; ko eni hoku sino.”
27Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
27Pea ne toʻo ʻae ipu inu, ʻo fakafetaʻi, pea ʻoatu kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē, “Mou inu ai kotoa pē:
28This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
28He ko hoku toto eni ʻoe fuakava foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi ke fakamolemole ai ʻae angahala ʻae tokolahi.
29I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
29Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ngata heni, ʻe ʻikai te u toe inu ʻi he fua ni ʻoe vaine, kaeʻoua ke hokosia ʻae ʻaho ko ia te u inu foʻou ia mo kimoutolu ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻeku Tamai.”
30And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
30Pea kuo hili ʻenau hiva, pea nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
31Then Jesus said to them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of Me. For it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
31Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tūkia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he poōni ʻiate au: he kuo tohi, ‘Te u taaʻi ʻae tauhi, pea ʻe movetevete ai ʻae fanga sipi.’
32But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
32Kae hili ʻeku toetuʻu, te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ki Kaleli.”
33Peter said to Him, “Even if all fall away on account of You, I never will.”
33Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe tūkia kotoa pē ʻiate koe, ʻe ʻikai te u tūkia ʻo lauikuonga.
34“Truly I tell you,” Jesus declared, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate koe, ʻE teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻae moa ʻi he poōni, ka ʻe liunga tolu hoʻo fakafisi ʻiate au.”
35Peter replied, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.
35Pea talaange ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Kapau te u mate ai mo koe, kae ʻikai te u fakafisiʻi koe.” Pea lea pehē pe foki ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē.
36At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
36¶ Pea toki haʻu ai ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu ki he potu ʻoku ui ko Ketisemani, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau ākonga, “Mou nofo ʻi heni, kau ʻalu ki hena ʻo lotu.”
37He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
37Pea ne ʻave ʻa Pita mo e foha ʻe toko ua ʻo Sepeti, pea kamata mamahiʻia ia mo māfasia lahi.
38Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
38Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mamahi lahi ʻaupito, ʻo hangē ka mate, hoku laumālie: mou nofo pe ʻi heni, ke tau leʻo mo au.”
39Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
39Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, ʻo tō fakafoʻohifo, ʻo pehē ʻene lotu, “ʻA ʻeku Tamai, kapau ʻe faʻa fai, pea ʻave ʻae ipu ni ʻiate au: kaeʻoua naʻa faʻiteliha pe au, ka ko koe pe.”
40Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
40Pea haʻu ia ki he kau ākonga, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻoku mohe, pea ne pehē kia Pita, “He ʻoku pehē, kuo ʻikai te mou faʻa leʻo mo au ʻi he feituʻu pō ʻe taha?
41“Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
41Leʻo mo lotu, telia naʻa lavaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻahiʻahi: ko e moʻoni ʻoku fie fai ʻe he laumālie, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakano.”
42A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”
42Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ko hono liunga ua, ʻo lotu, ʻo pehē, “ʻA ʻeku Tamai, kapau ʻe ʻikai lelei ke ʻave ʻae ipu ni ʻiate au, ka ʻi heʻeku inumia ia, ke fai pe hoʻo faʻiteliha.”
43And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
43Pea haʻu ia ʻo ne ʻilo ʻoku nau toe mohe: he naʻe māfasia honau mata.
44So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
44Pea tuku ai pe ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae toe ʻalu atu, ʻo lotu ko hono liunga tolu, ʻo ne toe fai pē ʻae lea ko ia.
45Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
45Pea toki haʻu ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Maʻu pe hoʻomou mohe ni, pea mālōlō: vakai, kuo ofi ʻae feituʻu pō ʻe lavakiʻi ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kau angahala.
46Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
46Tuʻu hake, ke tau ʻalu: vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ia ʻoku ne lavakiʻi au.”
47While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
47¶ Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, ʻiloange, ko Siutasi, ko e taha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe haʻu ia mo e kakai tokolahi, mo e ngaahi heletā, mo e ʻakau, mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai.
48Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
48Pea ko ia naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia, naʻa ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fakaʻilonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ʻilonga ʻaia te u ʻuma ki ai, ko ia ia: puke ia ke maʻu.”
49Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
49Pea haʻu leva ia kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Lāpai, siʻotoʻofa:” pea ʻuma kiate ia.
50“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
50Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kāinga, ko e hā kuo ke haʻu ai?” Pea toki haʻu ʻakinautolu, ʻo ala honau nima kia Sisu, ʻo puke ia.
51At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
51Pea vakai, ko e taha ʻonautolu naʻe ʻia Sisu, naʻe ʻai hono nima ki heʻene heletā ʻo toho, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, pea motuhi hono telinga.
52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
52Pea toki pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Toe ʻai hoʻo heletā ki hono ʻaiʻanga: he ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku toʻo heletā te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā.
53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
53ʻOku ke mahalo ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa lotu ni ki heʻeku Tamai, pea te ne tuku leva ni kiate au ʻae kau ʻāngelo ke lahi ʻi he lisione ʻe hongofulu ma ua?
54But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
54Kae fakamoʻoni fēfē ʻae ngaahi tohi, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ai ʻe pehē ni pe?”
55At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
55ʻI he feituʻu pō ko ia naʻe lea ai ʻa Sisu ki he kakai lahi, “ʻOku mou haʻu mo e ngaahi heletā mo e ʻakau ke puke au, ʻo hangē ko ha kaihaʻa? Naʻaku nofo mo kimoutolu ʻo ako ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou puke au.
56But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
56Ka kuo fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻae kau palōfita.” Pea naʻe toki liʻaki ia ʻe he kau ākonga kotoa pē, ka nau feholaki.
57Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
57¶ Pea ko kinautolu naʻe puke ʻa Sisu naʻa nau tataki ia kia Kaiafasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea kātoa ai ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau mātuʻa.
58But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
58Ka naʻe muimui mamaʻo atu kiate ia ʻa Pita, ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi, pea hū ki ai, ʻonau nonofo mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ke mamata ki hono ikuʻanga.
59Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
59Pea kumi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e mātuʻa, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē, ʻae fakamoʻoni loi kia Sisu, kae tāmateʻi ia;
60But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forward
60Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ha taha : naʻe haʻu ʻae fakamoʻoni loi tokolahi, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ha taha . Pea toki ʻomi fakamui ʻae ongo fakamoʻoni loi ʻe toko ua,
61and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
61ʻo na pehē, “naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻOku ou faʻa fai ke veteki ʻae falelotu lahi ʻoe ʻOtua, mo toe langa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.’”
62So the high priest stood up and asked Him, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
62Pea tuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai hao lea ki ai? Ko e hā ia ʻoku nau fakaʻilo ni kiate koe?”
63But Jesus remained silent. Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
63Ka naʻe longo pē ʻa Sisu. Pea lea ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻOku ou fekau mālohi kiate koe ʻi he ʻOtua moʻui, ke ke fakahā mai kiate kimautolu, pe ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
64Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko ia pe: ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Te mou mamata ʻa mui ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku nofo ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe māfimafi, pea mo ʻene haʻu ʻi he ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi.”
65At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.
65Pea toki haehae ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi hono kofu, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo lea fie ʻOtua ia; koeʻumaʻā kiate kitautolu ha toe fakamoʻoni? Vakai, kuo mou fanongo ni ki heʻene lea fie ʻOtua.
66What do you think?” “He deserves to die,” they answered.
66Ko e hā homou loto?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku totonu ke ne mate.”
67Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped Him
67Pea naʻa nau toki ʻaʻanu ki hono mata, ʻo tukiʻi ia; pea sipiʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi ʻaki honau ʻaofinima,
68and said, “Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit You?”
68ʻo pehēange, “ʻA koe, Kalaisi, mate mai kiate kimautolu, ko hai ia naʻa ne sipiʻi koe?”
69Meanwhile, Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came up to him. “You also were with Jesus the Galilean,” she said.
69¶ Pea naʻe nofo ʻituʻa ʻa Pita ʻi he lotoʻā; pea haʻu ʻae fefine kaunanga kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe foki naʻa ke ʻia Sisu ʻo Kaleli.”
70But he denied it before them all: “I do not know what you are talking about.”
70Ka naʻe fakafisi leva ia ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo hoʻo lea.”
71When Peter had gone out to the gateway, another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
71Pea ʻalu atu ia ki he potu ʻe taha ʻoe fale, pea mamata kiate ia ʻa e kaunanga ʻe taha, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, naʻe ʻi ai, “Naʻe ʻia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ʻae tangata ni foki.”
72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man!”
72Pea toe fakafisi ia mo fuakava, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻae tangata.”
73After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. “Surely you are one of them,” they said, “for your accent gives you away.”
73Pea fuoloa siʻi pea haʻu kiate ia ʻakinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ai, ʻonau pehē kia Pita, “Ko e moʻoni ko e tokotaha koe ʻokinautolu; he ʻoku fakaʻilo koe ʻe hoʻo lea.”
74At that he began to curse and swear to them, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
74Pea toki kamata kape ia mo fuakava, ʻo pehē , “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻae tangata.” Pea naʻe ʻuʻua leva ʻae moa.
75Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken: “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.
75Pea manatu ai ʻe Pita ki he lea ʻa Sisu, ʻaia naʻe pehē kiate ia, “ʻE teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻae moa, kae tuʻo tolu haʻo fakafisiʻi au.” Pea ʻalu kituaʻā ia, ʻo tangi mamahi.
