King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2Pea toe haʻu hengihengi ia ki he falelotu lahi, pea haʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia; pea nofo ia, ʻo ako kiate kinautolu.
2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3Pea ko e kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae fefine naʻe moʻua ʻi he tono tangata; ʻonau tuku ia ki he haʻohaʻonga,
3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Akonaki, naʻe moʻua ʻae fefine ni lolotonga ʻene tono tangata.
4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5Pea ko eni, naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu ʻi he fono, ke tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka: ka ko e hā hoʻo lea?”
5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6Naʻa nau lea pehē, ko ʻenau ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke nau talakoviʻi ai ia. Ka naʻe tulolo hifo ʻa Sisu, pea tohi ʻaki hono tuhu ki he kelekele.
6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not .
7Pea ʻi heʻenau kei fehuʻi pe kiate ia, naʻe tuʻu ki ʻolunga ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku taʻeangahala, ke lī ʻe ia ʻae fuofua maka ki ai.”
7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8Pea toe tulolo ia, ʻo tohi ki he kelekele.
8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fanongo ai, ʻi he valokia ʻakinautolu ʻe honau ʻatamai, naʻa nau taki taha ʻalu kituʻa, ʻo fuofua fai mei he ki muʻa ʻo aʻu ki he ki mui: pea toe tokotaha ʻa Sisu, kae tuʻu ʻae fefine ʻi loto.
9And they which heard it , being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10Pea kuo tuʻu hake ʻa Sisu, ʻo ʻikai mamata ki ha taha ka ko e fefine pe, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, “Fefine, ko e fē ʻakinautolu naʻa nau fakaʻiloʻi koe?” ʻOku ʻikai fakahalaia koe ʻe ha taha?
10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u fakahalaia koe: ʻalu pea ʻoua ʻe toe fai angahala.”
11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12¶ Pea toe lea ai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko au ko e maama ʻo māmani: ko ia ʻoku muimui ʻiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ia ʻi he poʻuli, ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae maama ʻoe moʻui.”
12¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kau Fālesi kiate ia, “ʻOku ke fakamoʻoni kiate koe; ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni hoʻo fakamoʻoni.
13The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni kiate au, ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni: he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, mo ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai; ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai, pe ko ia ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai.
14Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15ʻOku mou fakamaau fakakakano pē; ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaau ha tokotaha.
15Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16Pea kapau te u fakamaau, ʻoku moʻoni ʻeku fakamaau he ʻoku ʻikai teu tokotaha pe, ka ko au mo e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17Pea kuo tohi foki ʻi hoʻomou fono, ko e fakamoʻoni ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua ʻoku moʻoni.
17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18Ko e tokotaha au ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni au, pea ko e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ne fakamoʻoni kiate au.”
18I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e fē hoʻo Tamai? Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo au, pe ko ʻeku Tamai: ka ne mou ʻilo au, pehē, kuo mou ʻilo mo ʻeku Tamai foki.
19Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he tukunga koloa, ʻi heʻene akonaki ʻi he falelotu lahi: pea naʻe ʻikai puke ia ʻe ha taha; he naʻe teʻeki hokosia hono ʻaho.
20These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21Pea toe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou ʻalu, pea te mou kumi kiate au, ka te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.”
21Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22Pea pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu, “ʻE tāmateʻi ʻe ia ia? He ʻoku ne pehē, ‘Ko e potu ʻoku ou ʻalu ki ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou hokosia.’”
22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23Pea tala ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mei lalo ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku mei ʻolunga au: ʻoku ʻo māmani ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku ʻikai ʻo māmani au.
23And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24Ko ia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, te mou mate ʻi hoʻomou angahala: he kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ‘ko au ia,’ te mou mate pe ʻi hoʻomou angahala.”
24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he , ye shall die in your sins.
25Pea naʻa nau lea ai kiate ia, “Ko hai koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻAia pe naʻaku tala ʻi muʻa kiate kimoutolu.”
25Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26ʻOku lahi ʻae meʻa ke u tala mo valokiʻi ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia; pea ʻoku ou fakahā ki māmani ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo u fanongo ʻiate ia.
26I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27Naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ko ʻene lea kiate kinautolu ki he Tamai.
27They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Hili hoʻomou hiki ki ʻolunga ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, pea te mou toki ʻilo ‘ko au ia,’ pea mo ʻeku taʻefai-ha-meʻa ʻiate au pe; kae hangē hono akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku Tamai, ʻoku pehē ʻeku lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
28Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29Pea ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku ʻiate au: ʻoku ʻikai siʻaki au ke tokotaha pe ʻe he Tamai; he ʻoku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei ai ia.”
29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30Pea ʻi heʻene leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi kiate ia.
30As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31¶ Pea pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki he kau Siu naʻe tui kiate ia, “Kapau te mou nofomaʻu ʻi heʻeku lea, pea ko ʻeku kau ākonga moʻoni ʻakimoutolu;
31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32Pea te mou ʻilo ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he moʻoni.”
32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33¶ Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi kiate ia, “Ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai te mau pōpula ki ha taha: pea ʻoku fēfeeʻi ʻa hoʻo lau, ‘ʻE fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu?’”
33¶ They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fai angahala, ko e pōpula ia ki he angahala.
34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofomaʻuaipē ʻi he fale ʻae pōpula: ka ʻoku nofomaʻuaipē ʻae ʻAlo.
35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36Ko ia kapau ʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻAlo, te mou tauʻatāina moʻoni.
36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e hako ʻo ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu; ka ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi homou loto ʻa ʻeku akonaki.
37I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38ʻOku ou lea ʻaki ʻaia kuo u ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku mou fai ʻaia kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻi hoʻomou tamai.”
38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39Naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko ʻemau tamai ʻa ʻEpalahame.” Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko e fānau ʻa ʻEpalahame ʻakimoutolu, pehē, te mou fai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻEpalahame.
39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40Ka ko eni ʻoku mou kumi ke tāmateʻi au, ko e tangata kuo tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, ʻaia kuo u fanongo ʻi he ʻOtua: naʻe ʻikai fai pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame.
40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41ʻOku mou fai ʻae ngāue ʻa hoʻomou tamai.” Pea naʻa nau pehē ai kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau tupu ʻi he feʻauaki; ʻoku taha pe ʻemau Tamai, ko e ʻOtua.”
41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ka ne ko hoʻomou Tamai ʻae ʻOtua, te mou ʻofa kiate au: he naʻaku tupu ai ʻo haʻu mei he ʻOtua; pea naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pe, ka naʻa ne fekau au.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo ʻeku lea? Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te mou fie fai ki heʻeku akonaki.
43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44ʻOku mou ʻi hoʻomou tamai ko e tēvolo, pea ko e holi ʻa hoʻomou tamai te mou fai. Ko e fakapō ia talu mei he kamataʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai nofomaʻu ʻi he moʻoni koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha moʻoni ʻiate ia. ʻOka lea ʻaki ʻe ia ʻae loi, ʻoku ne lea ʻaki ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana: he ko e loi ia, mo e tamai ʻo ia.
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45Pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku tala ʻae moʻoni kiate kimoutolu , ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au.
45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46Ko hai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne fakaʻilo haʻaku angahala? Pea kapau ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate au?
46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47Ko ia ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻoku fanongo ia ki he ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea pehē, ʻoku ʻikai te mou fanongo, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu.”
47He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48Pea leaange ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai ʻoku moʻoni ʻemau pehē, Ko e Samēlia koe, pea ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo?”
48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai ha tēvolo ʻiate au; ka ʻoku ou fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku mou fakalieliaʻi au.
49Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50Pea ʻoku ʻikai teu kumi ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo ʻoku: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne kumiʻi mo fakamaauʻi.
50And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he mate.”
51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52Pea lea ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “Ta ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻeni ʻoku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo. Kuo mate ʻa ʻEpalahame, mo e kau palōfita; ka ʻoku ke pehē, Kapau ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ki heʻeku lea, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne kamata ʻae mate.
52Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53ʻOku ke lahi koe ki heʻemau tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kuo mate? Pea, mate mo e kau palōfita: ʻoku ke pehē ko hai koe?”
53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Kapau te u fakaongolelei au, ko e meʻa noa pē ʻeku fakaongo: ko ʻeku Tamai ko ia ia ʻoku ne fakaongoleleiʻi au; ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ko homou ʻOtua ia:
54Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55Ka kuo ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea kapau te u pehē, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ia, te u loi au ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu: ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia, pe au tuitala ki heʻene folofola.
55Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56Naʻe mātuʻaki fiefia ʻa hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame ke mamata ki hoku ʻaho: pea naʻe mamata ia, pea fiefia.
56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it , and was glad.
57Pea lea ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku teʻeki ai nimangofulu taʻu ho motuʻa, pea kuo ke mamata kia ʻEpalahame?”
57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ki muʻa ʻia ʻEpalahame, ‘ʻOku ou ʻi ai au.’”
58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi maka, ke nau lisingi ʻaki ia; ka naʻe fufū ʻe Sisu ia, pea ʻalu ia ʻi honau lotolotonga mei he falelotu lahi, pea hao ai.
59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
