1Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kenesaleti, naʻe lolofi mai kiate ia ʻae kakai ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
1On one occasion, while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the crowd pressing in on Him to hear the word of God,
2Pea mamata ia ki he vaka ʻe ua ʻoku toka ʻi he veʻe ano: ka kuo ʻalu mei ai ʻae kau toutai ika, ʻonau fō honau ngaahi kupenga.
2He saw two boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them and were washing their nets.
3Pea heka ia ki he vaka ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Saimone, pea ne kole kiate ia ke tukutuku siʻi mei ʻuta. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ia, ʻo akonaki ki he kakai mei he vaka.
3Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. And sitting down, He taught the people from the boat.
4¶ Pea kuo hili ʻene lea, pea pehē ʻe ia kia Saimone, “Maʻu atu ki he loloto, pea ʻaʻau homou ngaahi kupenga koeʻuhi kae fusi hake.”
4When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo mau ngāue ʻanepō ʻo ʻaho, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻi hoʻo fekau te u ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga.”
5“Master,” Simon replied, “we have worked hard all night without catching anything. But because You say so, I will let down the nets.”
6Pea kuo nau fai ia, pea nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ika ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea kamata mahae honau kupenga.
6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to tear.
7Pea nau taʻalo ki heʻenau kaunga toutai ika ʻi he vaka ʻe taha, ke nau haʻu ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu. Pea naʻa nau omi, ʻo fakapito ʻae vaka fakatouʻosi, pea na kamata ngalo hifo.
7So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
8Pea kuo mamata ʻa Saimone Pita, pea fakatōmapeʻe ia ki he tui ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ʻalu ʻiate au; he ko e tangata angahala au.”
8When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees. “Go away from me, Lord,” he said, “for I am a sinful man.”
9He naʻe ofo ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻi he ngaahi ika kuo maʻu:
9For he and his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
10Pea pehē foki ʻa Semisi, mo Sione ko e ongo foha ʻo Sepeti, ko e kaunga toutai mo Saimone. Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kia Saimone, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē; ngata heni te ke toutai tangata.”
10and so were his partners James and John, the sons of Zebedee. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon. “From now on you will catch men.”
11Pea kuo ʻomi honau ongo vaka ki ʻuta, naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē, ʻo muimui kiate ia.
11And when they had brought their boats ashore, they left everything and followed Him.
12¶ Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene ʻi he kolo ʻe taha, pea vakai, ko e tangata kuo fonu ʻi he kilia: pea ne mamata kia Sisu, mo tō fakafoʻohifo, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kapau ko ho loto ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
12While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell facedown and begged Him, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
13Pea mafao ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo ala ki ai mo ne pehē, “Ko hoku loto: ke ke maʻa koe.” Pea mahuʻi leva ʻiate ia ʻae kilia.
13Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.
14Pea ne fekau ia, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tala ki ha taha: kae ʻalu, ʻo fakahā koe ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ke ʻange koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau mo ia naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
14“Do not tell anyone,” Jesus instructed him. “But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
15Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae mafola ʻa hono ongoongo: pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito ke fanongo, pea koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi mahamahaki.
15But the news about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses.
16¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki he toafa, ʻo lotu ai.
16Yet He frequently withdrew to the wilderness to pray.
17Pea pehē, ko e ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻi heʻene akonaki, naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, kuo nau omi mei he potu kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kāleli, mo Siutea, mo Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻoe ʻEiki ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
17One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.
18¶ Pea vakai, naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau tangata ʻae tangata ʻi hono mohenga kuo pukea ʻi he mahaki tete: pea naʻa nau feinga pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, ke tuku ʻi hono ʻao.
18Just then some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They tried to bring him inside to set him before Jesus,
19Pea kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau ʻohake ia kituʻa fale, ʻo tukutuku hifo ia ʻi he ʻato ʻi he mohenga ki he haʻohaʻonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sisu.
19but they could not find a way through the crowd. So they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
20Pea kuo mamata ʻe ia ki heʻenau tui, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tangata, kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
20When Jesus saw their faith, He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
21Pea fakakaukau leva ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai eni ʻoku ne lea fie ʻOtua? Ko hai te ne faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala, ka ko e ʻOtua pe?”
21But the scribes and Pharisees began thinking to themselves, “Who is this man who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
22Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou femahaloʻaki ai ʻi homou loto?
22Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus replied, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?
23He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ke lea, ‘Kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu?’
23Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk?’
24Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete,) “ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, pea ke ke ʻalu ki ho fale.”
24But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic, “I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
25Pea naʻe tuʻu hake leva ia ʻi honau ʻao, pea ne toʻo mai ʻaia naʻe tokoto ai, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
25And immediately the man stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.
26Pea nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, pea fonu ʻi he manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo tau mamata ʻi he ʻaho ni ki he ngaahi meʻa foʻou!”
26Everyone was taken with amazement and glorified God. They were filled with awe and said, “We have seen remarkable things today.”
27¶ Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he tangata tānaki tukuhau, ko Livai hono hingoa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga; pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au.”
27After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him,
28Pea tukuange ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu hake, pea muimui ʻiate ia.
28and Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.
29Pea naʻe fai ʻe Livai ʻae kātoanga lahi kiate ia ʻi hono fale: pea naʻe nofo mo kinautolu ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau tokolahi, mo e kakai niʻihi.
29Then Levi hosted a great banquet for Jesus at his house. A large crowd of tax collectors was there, along with others who were eating with them.
30Ka naʻe lāunga honau kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou kai mo inu fakataha ai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
30But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
31Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō; ka ki he mahaki.
31Jesus answered, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
32Naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
33¶ Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai mo lotu ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, mo kinautolu foki ʻoe kau Fālesi; ka ʻoku kai mo inu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻou.”
33Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours keep on eating and drinking.”
34Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou faʻa pule ke ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane?
34Jesus replied, “Can you make the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them?
35Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.”
35But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.”
36¶ Pea lea ʻaki foki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne monomono ʻaki ʻae kofu motuʻa ha konga ʻoe kofu foʻou; ka pehē, ʻe hae ia ʻe he meʻa foʻou, kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae konga foʻou mo e motuʻa kofu .
36He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old.
37Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; telia naʻa hae ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea tafe, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina.
37And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.
38Kae ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou; pea tolonga ai fakatouʻosi.
38Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.
39ʻOku ʻikai foki ha tangata kuo inu ʻi he uaine motuʻa pea fili leva ia ki he uaine foʻou; he ʻoku ne pehē, ‘ʻOku lelei lahi ʻa e uaine motuʻa.’”
39And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
