King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Lasalosi, ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi Pētani, ko e kolo ʻa Mele mo hono tokoua ko Māʻata.
1Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
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(It was that Mary which 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.”
3Therefore his sisters sent unto 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.”
4When Jesus heard that , he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sisu kia Māʻata, mo hono tehina, mo Lasalosi.
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, 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 abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7Hili ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “Ke tau toe ʻalu ki Siutea.”
7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judæa 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?”
8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late 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 in the day? If any 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 a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light 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 said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus 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.”
12Then said his disciples, 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.
13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14Pea toki tala fakatotonu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mate ʻa Lasalosi.
14Then said Jesus unto 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, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
16Pea lea ai ʻa Tōmasi, ʻoku ui ko Titimasi, ki heʻene kaungā ākonga, “Ke tau ō foki, ka tau mate mo ia.”
16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, 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.
17Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
18Pea naʻe ofi ʻa Pētani ki Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe ua nai hono mamaʻo.
18Now Bethany was nigh unto 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 came 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.
20Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
21Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.
21Then said Martha unto 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 I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
23Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.”
23Jesus saith unto 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 unto 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 unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26Pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui mo tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mate ia. ʻOku ke tui ki ai?”
26And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. 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 unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the 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 so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
29As soon as she heard that , she arose quickly, and came unto him.
30Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.
30Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha 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 then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto 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.”
32Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto 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,
33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”
34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.
35Jesus wept.
36Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”
36Then said the Jews, 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?”
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
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 grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon 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 said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead 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 unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest 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.
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee 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 which stand by 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.”
43And when he thus had spoken, 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 he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto 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.
45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on 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 their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things 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.
47¶ Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth 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 thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both 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,
49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50Pea tokanga ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu, ke mate ha tangata ʻe tokotaha maʻae kakai, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa.”
50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, 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 spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that 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 for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
53Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau alea fakataha ke tāmateʻi ia.
53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for 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.
54Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued 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.
55¶ And the Jews’ passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, 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?”
56Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
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.
57Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it , that they might take him.
