1And after six days Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart:
1Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ono, pea vaheʻi ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, ʻo ne ʻave ʻakinautolu pe ki ha potu moʻunga māʻolunga,
2And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow.
2Pea naʻe liliu ia ʻi honau ʻao: pea ulo hono fofonga ʻo hangē ko e laʻā, pea hinehina hono kofu ʻo hangē ko e maama.
3And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him.
3Pea vakai, kuo hā mai ʻa Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, ʻo na feleaʻaki mo ia.
4And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
4Pea lea ai ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea kapau te ke loto ki ai , tuku ke mau ngaohi ʻi heni ha fale ʻe tolu; ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
5And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him.
5Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, ʻiloange, kuo fakamaluʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao ngingila: pea vakai, ko e leʻo mei he ʻao, naʻe pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai; mou fakaongo kiate ia.”
6And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.
6Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, naʻa nau tō foʻohifo ki honau mata, ʻo manavahē lahi.
7And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not.
7Pea haʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ala kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē.”
8And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus.
8Pea ʻi he hanga hake honau mata, naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe.
9And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead.
9Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tala ki ha taha ʻaia kuo hā mai, kaeʻoua ke toetuʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata mei he mate.”
10And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say that Elias must come first?
10Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata tohi, “ʻE tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā?”
11But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.
11Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
12But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they had a mind. So also the Son of man shall suffer from them.
12Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kuo hili ʻae haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia, ka kuo nau fai kiate ia ʻenau faʻiteliha. ʻE mamahi pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻiate kinautolu.”
13Then the disciples understood, that he had spoken to them of John the Baptist.
13Pea toki ʻilo ai ʻe he kau ākonga, ko ʻene lea ia kiate kinautolu kia Sione ko e Papitaiso.
14And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.
14¶ Pea kuo nau hoko atu ki he kakai, mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ha tangata, ʻo tuʻulutui kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē,
15And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
15“ʻEiki, ʻaloʻofa ki hoku foha; he ʻoku vale ia, pea mamahi lahi: pea ʻoku faʻa tō ki he afi, pea faʻa tō ki he vai.
16Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
16Pea naʻaku ʻomi ia ki hoʻo kau ākonga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakamoʻui ia.”
17And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.
17Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui mo angakovi, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku kātakiʻi ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ia ki heni kiate au.”
18Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?
18Pea naʻe valoki ʻe Sisu ʻae tēvolo; pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ʻiate ia: pea naʻe moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi talu mei he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
19Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
19Pea toki haʻu fakafufū pe ʻae kau ākonga kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
20But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
20“Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻetui: he ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻai hoʻomou tui ʻo hangē ko e foʻi tengaʻi musita, te mou pehē ki he moʻunga ni, ‘Hiki ʻi heni ki he potu na;’ pea ʻe hiki ia: pea ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe taʻefaʻafai ʻekimoutolu.
21And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
21Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ko ia, ka ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”
22And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.
22¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau kei ʻi Kaleli, naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻae kau tangata:
23And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
23Pea te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toe fokotuʻu ia.” Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ai ʻakinautolu.
24He said: Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom do they receive tribute or custom? of their own children, or of strangers?
24¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Kapaneume, naʻe haʻu kia Pita ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai tukuhau ʻa homou ʻEiki?”
25And he said: Of strangers. Jesus said to him: Then the children are free.
25Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo.” Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, pea taʻofi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Saimone, ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku maʻu ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani ʻae totongi pe ʻae tukuhau ʻia hai? ʻI heʻenau fānau, pe mei he kakai kehe?”
26But that we may not scandalize them, go to the sea, and cast in a hook: and that fish which shall first come up, take: and when thou hast opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater: take that, and give it to them for me and thee.
26Pea talaange ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻI he kakai kehe.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea tā ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae fānau.

27Ka ko eni telia naʻa tau fakaʻita kiate kinautolu, ʻalu koe ki tahi, ʻo taumātaʻu, ʻo toʻo ʻae ika ʻoku fuofua kai; pea ʻi hoʻo faʻai hono ngutu, te ke ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae paʻanga: ke ke toʻo ia, ʻo ʻoatu kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko kitaua.”
