1Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Lasalosi, ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi Pētani, ko e kolo ʻa Mele mo hono tokoua ko Māʻata.
1Now there was a certain man sick, named Lazarus, of Bethania, of the town of Mary and Martha her sister.
2(Ko e Mele ko ia ia naʻa ne tākai ʻae ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae lolo, ʻo ne holoholo hono vaʻe ʻaki hono louʻulu, naʻe mahaki hono tuongaʻane ko Lasalosi.)
2(And Mary was she that anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair: whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe hono ongo tuofefine kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko ia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ʻoku mahaki.”
3His sisters therefore sent to him, saying: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e mahaki eni ke mate ai, ka ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
4And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it.
5Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sisu kia Māʻata, mo hono tehina, mo Lasalosi.
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6Pea kuo fanongo ia ki heʻene mahaki, naʻa ne kei nofo ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ʻaho ua.
6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he still remained in the same place two days.
7Hili ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “Ke tau toe ʻalu ki Siutea.”
7Then after that, he said to his disciples: Let us go into Judea again.
8Pea tala ʻe he kau ākonga kiate ia, “Lāpai, naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau Siu ke tolongaki koe ʻaki ʻae maka; pea ʻoku ke toe ʻalu ki ai?”
8The disciples say to him: Rabbi, the Jews but now sought to stone thee: and goest thou thither again?
9Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻIkai ʻoku hongofulu ma ua ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻi he ʻaho? Kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku mamata ia ki he maama ʻoe māmani.
9Jesus answered: Are there not twelve hours of the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world:
10Pea kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha maama ʻi ai.”
10But if he walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
11Naʻe hili ʻene lea ni, pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hotau kāinga ko Lasalosi ʻoku mohe; ka ʻoku ou ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u fafangu ia mei he mohe.”
11These things he said; and after that he said to them: Lazarus our friend sleepeth; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.
12Pea pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau ākonga, “ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku mohe, ʻe lelei ai ia.”
12His disciples therefore said: Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13Naʻe lea ʻa Sisu ki heʻene mate ka naʻa nau mahalo ko ʻene lea ki he mālōlō ʻi he mohe.
13But Jesus spoke of his death; and they thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep.
14Pea toki tala fakatotonu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mate ʻa Lasalosi.
14Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead.
15Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi he ʻikai te u ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou tui; ka tau ō kiate ia.”
15And I am glad, for your sakes, that I was not there, that you may believe: but let us go to him.
16Pea lea ai ʻa Tōmasi, ʻoku ui ko Titimasi, ki heʻene kaungā ākonga, “Ke tau ō foki, ka tau mate mo ia.”
16Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples: Let us also go, that we may die with him.
17Pea kuo ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻaho fā hono tuku ia ki he faʻitoka.
17Jesus therefore came, and found that he had been four days already in the grave.
18Pea naʻe ofi ʻa Pētani ki Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe ua nai hono mamaʻo.
18(Now Bethania was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off.)
19Pea haʻu ʻae kau Siu tokolahi kia Māʻata mo Mele, ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinaua koeʻuhi ko hona tuongaʻane.
19And many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Māʻata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Mele ʻi he fale.
20Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus had come, went to meet him: but Mary sat at home.
21Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.
21Martha therefore said to Jesus: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
22Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻa eni, ko ia kotoa pē te ke kolea ki he ʻOtua, ʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”
22But now also I know that whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.”
23Jesus saith to her: Thy brother shall rise again.
24Pea tala ʻe Māʻata kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.”
24Martha saith to him: I know that he shall rise again, in the resurrection at the last day.
25Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia:
25Jesus said to her: I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live:
26Pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui mo tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mate ia. ʻOku ke tui ki ai?”
26And every one that liveth, and believeth in me, shall not die for ever. Believest thou this?
27Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki: ʻoku ou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe totonu ke haʻu ki māmani.”
27She saith to him: Yea, Lord, I have believed that thou art Christ the Son of the living God, who art come into this world.
28Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ui fakafufū hono tehina ko Mele, ʻo ne pehē, Kuo haʻu ʻae Akonaki, pea ʻoku fehuʻi kiate koe.”
28And when she had said these things, she went, and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for thee.
29Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
29She, as soon as she heard this, riseth quickly, and cometh to him.
30Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.
30For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him.
31Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai.
31The Jews therefore, who were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose up speedily and went out, followed her, saying: She goeth to the grave to weep there.
32Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.”
32When Mary therefore was come where Jesus was, seeing him, she fell down at his feet, and saith to him: Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia,
33Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews that were come with her, weeping, groaned in the spirit, and troubled himself,
34ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”
34And said: Where have you laid him? They say to him: Lord, come and see.
35Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.
35And Jesus wept.
36Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”
36The Jews therefore said: Behold how he loved him.
37Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?”
37But some of them said: Could not he that opened the eyes of the man born blind, have caused that this man should not die?
38Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka.
38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre. Now it was a cave; and a stone was laid over it.
39Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni.
39Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days.
40Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?”
40Jesus saith to her: Did not I say to thee, that if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?
41Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au.
41They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifting up his eyes said: Father, I give thee thanks that thou hast heard me.
42Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, ko ia kuo u lea ai , koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.”
42And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people who stand about have I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.”
43When he had said these things, he cried with a loud voice: Lazarus, come forth.
44Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.”
44And presently he that had been dead came forth, bound feet and hands with winding bands; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus said to them: Loose him, and let him go.
45Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu naʻe haʻu kia Mele, hili ʻenau mamata ki he ngāue naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau tui kiate ia.
45Many therefore of the Jews, who were come to Mary and Martha, and had seen the things that Jesus did, believed in him.
46Ka naʻe ʻalu honau niʻihi ki he kau Fālesi, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe Sisu.
46But some of them went to the Pharisees, and told them the things that Jesus had done.
47¶ Pea fakataha ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau fai? He ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi mana lahi.
47The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles?
48Kapau te tau tuku noa ai pe ia, ʻe tui kotoa pē kiate ia: pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Loma, ʻo fakaʻauha hotau potu mo hotau puleʻanga.”
48If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation.
49Pea ko honau tokotaha, ko Kaiafasi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa,
49But one of them, named Caiphas, being the high priest that year, said to them: You know nothing.
50Pea tokanga ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu, ke mate ha tangata ʻe tokotaha maʻae kakai, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa.”
50Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51Pea naʻe ʻikai meiate ia ʻene lea ko ia: ka ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, pea ne kikite ʻe mate ʻa Sisu ki he puleʻanga ko ia;
51And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation.
52Pea ʻoku ʻikai ki he puleʻanga pe ko ia, ka koeʻuhi ke ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua kuo fakahēʻi mamaʻo.
52And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God, that were dispersed.
53Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau alea fakataha ke tāmateʻi ia.
53From that day therefore they devised to put him to death.
54Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu fakahā ʻa Sisu ʻi he kakai Siu; ka naʻe mahuʻi ia mei ai ki he fonua ofi ki he toafa, ki he kolo naʻe ui ko ʻEfalemi, pea nofo ai mo ʻene kau ākonga.
54Wherefore Jesus walked no more openly among the Jews; but he went into a country near the desert, unto a city that is called Ephrem, and there he abode with his disciples.
55Pea kuo ofi ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu ʻae kakai Siu: naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tokolahi mei he tukuʻuta ki Selūsalema, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae kātoanga ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
55And the pasch of the Jews was at hand; and many from the country went up to Jerusalem, before the pasch to purify themselves.
56Pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Sisu, ʻonau fealēleaʻaki, ʻi heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā hoʻomou mahalo? ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kātoanga?”
56They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day?
57He kuo fekau ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e Fālesi, kapau kuo ʻilo ʻe ha tangata pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, ke ne fakahā, ka nau puke ia.
57And the chief priests and Pharisees had given a commandment, that if any man knew where he was, he should tell, that they might apprehend him.
