1Hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fononga fano ʻa Sisu ʻi Kāleli: he naʻe ʻikai fie fononga ia ʻi Siutea, he naʻe holi ʻae kakai Siu ke tāmateʻi ia.
1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2Pea ko e kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae kakai Siu, naʻe ofi.
2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe hono kāinga kiate ia, “ʻAlu ʻi heni, ʻo ʻalu ki Siutea, koeʻuhi ke mamata foki ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ke fai.
3And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
4He ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku holi ke ongoongo, pea ne fai fakalilolilo ha meʻa. Kapau ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, fakahā koe ki māmani.”
4For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
5He naʻe ʻikai tui foki ʻa hono kāinga kiate ia.
5For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki ai hoko hoku ʻaho: ka ʻoku tatau kotoa pē ʻae ʻaho kiate kimoutolu.
6Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
7ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu; ka ʻoku fehiʻa ia kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou fakahā ki ai, ʻoku kovi ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8Mou ʻalu hake ki he kātoanga ni: ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu leva ki he kātoanga ni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai hokosia hoku ʻaho.”
8Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
9Hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kinautolu, pea nofo pe ia ʻi Kāleli.
9When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
10Ka kuo ʻalu hono kāinga, pea toki ʻalu foki ia ki he kātoanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he fakahā, kae fakafufū pe.
10But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
11¶ Pea kumi ia ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi he kātoanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e fē ia?”
11The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
12Pea naʻe lahi ʻae fefanafanahi ʻi he kakai koeʻuhi ko ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e tangata lelei ia:” kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai; he ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻae kakai.”
12And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
13Ka naʻe ʻikai lea fakahā ʻe ha taha kiate ia, ko ʻenau manavahē ki he kakai Siu.
13Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14¶ Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kātoanga, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo akonaki.
14Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15Pea ofo ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻilo fakafēfē ʻe he tangata ni ʻae poto, he naʻe ʻikai akonekina?”
15And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
16Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻO ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku, ka ʻoku ʻaʻana naʻa ne fekau au.
16Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17Pea ko ia ia ʻe fai ki hono finangalo, te ne ʻilo ʻae akonaki, pe ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ia, pe ko ʻeku lea ʻiate au pe.
17If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻiate ia pē, ʻoku kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻaʻana: ka ko ia ʻoku ne kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau ia, ko ia ia ʻoku moʻoni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate ia.
18He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
19ʻIkai naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai hamou tokotaha ʻoku ne fai ki he fono? Ko e hā ʻoku mou kumi ai ke tāmateʻi au?”
19Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
20Pea leaange ʻae kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo: ko hai ʻoku kumi ke tāmateʻi koe?
20Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
21Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo u fai ʻae ngāue ʻe taha, pea ʻoku mou ofo ai kotoa pē.
21Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
22Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae kamu kiate kimoutolu; (ka ʻoku ʻikai mei ʻa Mōsese ia, kae mei he ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoku kamuʻi ʻekimoutolu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
22Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
23Pea kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese; ʻoku mou ʻita kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?
23If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
24ʻOua te mou fakamaau ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku ha mai, kae fakamaau ke totonu.”
24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
25Pea lea ai ha niʻihi mei Selūsalema, “ʻIkai ko eni ia ʻoku nau kumi ke tāmateʻi?
25Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26Pea vakai, ʻoku lea mālohi ia, kae ʻikai siʻi te nau lea kiate ia. ʻOku ʻilo moʻoni ʻe he kau pule ko e Kalaisi totonu eni?
26And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
27He ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻae potu ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae tangata ni: ka ʻoka haʻu ʻa Kalaisi, ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”
27But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28Pea kalanga ʻa Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi heʻene akonaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mou ʻilo au, pea ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae potu ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pē, ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloa.
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
29Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: he ʻoku ou meiate ia, pea naʻa ne fekau au.”
29I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30Pea naʻa nau holi ai ke puke ia ka naʻe ʻikai ala ha taha kiate ia, he naʻe teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho.
30They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31Pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kakai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOka haʻu ʻae Kalaisi, ʻe lahi hake ʻae mana ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kuo fai ʻe he tangata ni?”
31But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
32¶ Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi ʻoku fefanafanahi ʻae kakai kiate ia; pea fekau ʻe he kau Fālesi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae kau tangata fekau, ke nau puke ia.
32The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
33Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku toe siʻi pe ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu, peau ʻalu kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.”
33Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
34Te mou kumi au, pea ʻikai ʻiloʻi pea ko e potu te u ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa lava ki ai.
34You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
35Pea fepehēʻaki ai ʻae kakai Siu, “ʻE ʻalu ki fē ia, ʻe ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia? Te ne ʻalu ki he ngaahi Senitaile kuo fakahēʻi, pea ako ki he Senitaile?
35The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36Ko e hā ʻae lea ko eni ʻoku ne pehē ai, Te mou kumi au, pea ʻikai te mou ʻiloʻi: pea ko e potu te u ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa lava ki ai?”
36What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?
37ʻI he ʻaho fakaʻosi, ko e ʻaho lahi ʻoe kātoanga, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku fieinu ha tangata, ke haʻu ia kiate au ʻo inu.
37And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
38Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fakahā ʻi he tohi, ‘ʻE tafe mei hono loto ʻae ngaahi vai moʻui.’”
38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39(Ka ko ʻene lea ia ki he Laumālie, ʻaia ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻoku tui kiate ia: he naʻe teʻeki ai foaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai hakeakiʻi ʻa Sisu.)
39Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai tokolahi ki he lea ni, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko eni ʻae Palōfita.”
40Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
41Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko eni ʻae Kalaisi.” Ka naʻe lea ʻae niʻihi, “ʻE haʻu ʻae Kalaisi mei Kāleli?
41Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
42ʻIkai ʻoku tala ʻi he tohi, ʻE haʻu ʻae Kalaisi ʻi he hako ʻo Tevita, pea mei he kolo ko Petelihema, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Tevita?”
42Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
43Pea naʻe fakakikihi ʻae kakai ko e meʻa ʻiate ia.
43So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
44Pea naʻe loto ʻa honau niʻihi ke puke ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ala ha taha kiate ia.
44And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
45¶ Pea haʻu ai ʻae kau tangata fekau ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi; pea nau pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻomi ia?”
45The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
46Pea talaange ʻe he kau tangata fekau, “ʻOku teʻeki ʻaupito ha tangata ʻe lea ʻo hangē ko e tangata ni.”
46The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
47Pea toki pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi kiate kinautolu, “Kuo kākaaʻi mo kimoutolu foki?
47The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
48He kuo tui kiate ia ha niʻihi ʻi he kau pule pe ʻi he kau Fālesi?
48Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49Ka kuo malaʻia ʻae kakai ni ʻoku taʻeʻilo ki he fono.”
49But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
50Pea lea ʻa Nikotimasi kiate kinautolu, (ko ia ia naʻe haʻu kia Sisu ʻi he poʻuli,) he ko honau tokotaha ia,
50Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)
51“ʻOku tukuakiʻi ha tangata ʻe hotau fono ʻi he teʻeki fanongo ki ai, pea ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ne fai?”
51Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
52Pea naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “He ko e Kāleli foki ʻa koe? Kumi, pea vakai: he ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe tupu mei Kāleli.”
52They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
53Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu ki hono fale.
53And every man returned to his own house.
