1Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kenesaleti, naʻe lolofi mai kiate ia ʻae kakai ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
1Now while the multitude pressed on him and heard the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
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 standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of 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.
3He entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the multitudes 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 he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep 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.”
5Simon answered him, “Master, we worked all night and caught nothing; but at your word I will let down the net.”
6Pea kuo nau fai ia, pea nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ika ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea kamata mahae honau kupenga.
6When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
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.
7They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came and filled both boats, so 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.”
8But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.”
9He naʻe ofo ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻi he ngaahi ika kuo maʻu:
9For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
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 also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid. From now on you will be catching people alive.”
11Pea kuo ʻomi honau ongo vaka ki ʻuta, naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē, ʻo muimui kiate ia.
11When they had brought their boats to land, 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 he was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, 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.
13He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” 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.”
14He commanded him to tell no one, “But go your way and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Moses commanded, for 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 report concerning him spread much more, and great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
16¶ Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ki he toafa, ʻo lotu ai.
16But he withdrew himself into the desert and prayed.
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.
17On one of those days, he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal them.
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.
18Behold, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay 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.
19Not finding a way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went up to the housetop and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the middle before Jesus.
20Pea kuo mamata ʻe ia ki heʻenau tui, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tangata, kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
20Seeing their faith, he said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
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?”
21The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? 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?
22But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, “Why are you reasoning so 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 you,’ or to say, ‘Arise 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 that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I tell you, arise, take up your cot, and go to your house.”
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.
25Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, 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!”
26Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange 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 these things he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow me!”
28Pea tukuange ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu hake, pea muimui ʻiate ia.
28He left everything, and rose up 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.
29Levi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining 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?”
30Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with the 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 them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
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.”
33They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”
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?
34He said to them, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom 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 days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days.”
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 a parable to them. “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece 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.
37No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled and the skins will be destroyed.
38Kae ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou; pea tolonga ai fakatouʻosi.
38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
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.’”
39No man having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”
