1And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.
1Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻene ngaahi lea ni, naʻe ʻalu ia mei Kaleli, pea haʻu ia ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Siutea, ʻo ofi ki Sioatani.
2And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.
2Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito: pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi ai.
3And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
3¶ Naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ngofua ki he tangata ke tukuange hono uaifi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē?”
4Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:
4Pea lea ia, “ʻO pehēange kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau, ko ia naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae kakai ʻi he kamataʻanga, ‘naʻa ne fakatupu ʻakinaua ko e tangata mo e fefine,’
5For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
5ʻO ne pehē, ‘Ko e meʻa eni ʻe tuku ai ʻe he tangata ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea ʻe hoko ʻakinaua ko e kakano pe taha?’
6Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.
6Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te na kei ua, ka ko e kakano pe taha. Pea ko eni, ko ia kuo fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa fakamāvae ʻe ha tangata.”
7They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
7Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ka kuo pehē, ko e hā naʻe fekau ai ʻe Mōsese ke ʻoatu ʻae tohi fakamāvae, pea ke tukuange ia?”
8He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
8Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fefeka ʻo homou loto, ko ia naʻe kātaki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa hoʻomou tukuange homou uaifi: ka naʻe ʻikai pehē mei he kamataʻanga.
9And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
9Pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, ka ʻi heʻene tono tangata pe, pea fakamaʻu ia mo ha tokotaha kehe, ko e tono fefine ia: pea ko ia ʻe fakamaʻu mo ia kuo tukuange, ko e tono fefine ia.”
10His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.
10¶ Pea pehē ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku pehē pe ʻae tangata mo hono uaifi, tā ʻoku ʻikai lelei ke fakamaʻu.”
11Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.
11Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻae tala ni ʻe he tangata kotoa pē, ka ko kinautolu kuo foaki ia ki ai.
12For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
12He ʻoku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoku ʻiunoke, ʻi heʻenau fanauʻi mei he manāva ʻo ʻenau faʻē: pea ʻoku ai ʻae ʻiunoke niʻihi, kuo ngaohi ke ʻiunoke ʻe he tangata: pea ʻoku ai ʻae ʻiunoke niʻihi, kuo nau ngaohi ʻakinautolu ke ʻiunoke, koeʻuhi ko e puleʻanga ʻoe langi. Ko ia ʻoku ne faʻa maʻu ia, ke maʻu pe ʻe ia.”
13Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.
13¶ Pea naʻe ʻomi ai kiate ia ʻae tamaiki iiki, koeʻuhi ke ne hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu, ʻo lotu: ka naʻe lolomi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kau ākonga.
14But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.
14Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOua ʻe taʻofi, kae tuku ke haʻu kiate au ʻae tamaiki iiki: he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.”
15And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.
15Pea hilifaki ʻe ia hono nima kiate kinautolu, ka ka ʻalu mei ai.
16And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
16Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokotaha kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā ha meʻa lelei te u fai ke u maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?”
17Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good? One is good, God. But if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
17Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei ʻaia ko e ʻOtua: ka ko ho loto ke ke hū ki he moʻui pea ke fai ki he ngaahi fekau.”
18He said to him: Which? And Jesus said: Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness.
18Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻA fē?” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa,’ ‘ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi,’
19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
19‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē:’ pea, ‘Ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’”
20The young man saith to him: All these I have kept from my youth, what is yet wanting to me?
20Pea pehēange ʻe he talavou kiate ia, “Kuo u fai kotoa pē eni talu ʻeku kei siʻi: ko e hā ʻoku ou kei hala ai?”
21Jesus saith to him: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come follow me.
21Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ko ho loto ke ke haohaoa, ʻalu ʻo fakatau ʻaia ʻoku ʻaʻau, mo foaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ai ʻae koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.”
22And when the young man had heard this word, he went away sad: for he had great possessions.
22Ka ʻi he fanongo ʻae talavou ki he lea ko ia, naʻa ne ʻalu mamahi: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
23Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
23¶ Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻae hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
24And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24Pea ʻoku ou tala foki kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku faingofua ke hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25And when they had heard this, the disciples wondered very much, saying: Who then can be saved?
25Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau ofo lahi ʻaupito, ʻonau pehē, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
26And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible.
26Pea vakai ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai eni ʻe he tangata; ka ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.”
27Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?
27¶ Pea toki lea ai ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo mau siʻaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe: ko e hā te mau maʻu ai?”
28And Jesus said to them: Amen, I say to you, that you, who have followed me, in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the seat of his majesty, you also shall sit on twelve seats judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
28Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko kimoutolu kuo muimui ʻiate au, ʻoka nofo ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nofoʻa ʻo hono nāunau, ʻi he fakafoʻou, ʻe nofo ʻakimoutolu foki ki he nofoʻa ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakamaau ai ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻo ʻIsileli.
29And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.
29Pea ko ia fulipē kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fale, pe ʻae kāinga, pe ko e tuofefine, pe ko e tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ko e uaifi, pe ʻae fānau, pe ʻae fonua, koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa, te ne maʻu ʻo taki teau, pea te ne maʻu mo e moʻui taʻengata.
30And many that are first, shall be last: and the last shall be first.
30Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoku muʻomuʻa te nau muimui; pea ko e muimui ʻe muʻomuʻa.
