1Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tala kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume.
1After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2Pea naʻe mahaki, ʻo mei mate ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻeikitau ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻofa lahi ai ia.
2A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3Pea kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea ne fekau ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he kakai Siu, ke fakakolekole kiate ia ke ne haʻu ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki.
3When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
4Pea kuo nau omi kia Sisu, pea nau kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻaonga ia te ke fai ki ai ʻae meʻa ni:
4When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5He ʻoku ʻofa ia ki hotau kakai, pea ko ia ia ne langa ʻae falelotu moʻomautolu.”
5for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
6Pea ʻalu ʻa Sisu mo kinautolu. Pea kuo hoko ia ʻo vāofi mo e fale, pea fekau ʻe he ʻeikitau ʻa hono kāinga, ke lea ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoua naʻa ke ongosia ange koe: he ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻaonga ke ke hū ki hoku fale:
6Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7Pea naʻe ʻikai te u mahalo ʻoku taau mo au ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe: ka ke fai haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.
7Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8He ko au ko e tangata puleʻia foki, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai ia .
8For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9Pea ofo ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, pea tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai naʻe muimui ʻiate ia, “ʻOku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē ni hono lahi.”
9When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
10Pea liu atu ki he fale ʻakinautolu naʻe fekau, ʻonau ʻilo ʻae tamaioʻeiki naʻe mahaki kuo moʻui ia.
10Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
11¶ Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he kolo naʻe ui ko Neini: pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga tokolahi, mo e fuʻu kakai.
11Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
12Pea kuo ofi ia ki he matapā ʻoe kolo, pea vakai, naʻe fata mai kituaʻā ʻae tangata mate, ko e tama pe taha ia ʻa ʻene faʻē, pea ko e fefine ia kuo mate hono husepāniti: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻoe kolo.
12Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
13Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae ʻEiki, pea manavaʻofa ia kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻOua ʻe tangi.”
13When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
14Pea haʻu ia ʻo ala ki he fata: pea tuʻu pe ʻae kau fata. Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talavou, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
14He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
15Pea nofo hake ia ʻaia naʻe mate, ʻo kamata lea. Pea ne ʻatu ia ki heʻene faʻē.
15He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
16Pea pukea kotoa pē ʻi he manavahē: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tuʻu hake ʻae palōfita lahi ʻiate kitautolu;” pea, “Kuo ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua ki hono kakai.”
16Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
17Pea naʻe mafola ʻa hono ongoongo ni ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, pea mo e potu fonua kotoa pē ko ia .
17This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
18¶ Pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sione kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē.
18The disciples of John told him about all these things.
19Pea naʻe ui ʻe Sione kiate ia ʻae toko ua ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne fekau ʻakinaua kia Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te mau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
19John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
20Pea kuo haʻu ʻae ongo tangata kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Kuo fekau ʻakimaua kiate koe ʻe Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu? Pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?’”
20When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
21Pea ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi mahaki, mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi, pea mo e kau laumālie kovi; pea naʻa ne fakaʻā ʻae tokolahi naʻe kui.
21In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo mo mamata mo fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻa ʻae kui, kuo ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, kuo maʻa ʻae kilia, kuo ongo ʻae tuli, kuo fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva.
22Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻe ʻikai tūkia ʻiate au.”
23Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
24¶ Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ongo tangata fekau ʻa Sione, pea toki lea ia ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu atu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
24When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ki ha tangata kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, he ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu fakalaukau, mo kai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
25But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
26Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
26But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27Ko ia ia kuo tohi ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, Ke teuteu ʻe ia ho hala kiate koe.’
27This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
28He ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.”
28“For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
29Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia , mo e kau tānaki tukuhau, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae angatonu ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi heʻenau papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ʻa Sione.
29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
30Ka ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, naʻa nau fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, he naʻe ʻikai te nau papitaiso ʻiate ia.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31Pea pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Te u fakatatau ki he hā ʻae kakai ʻoe toʻutangata ni? Pea ʻoku nau tatau mo e hā?
31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
32ʻOku nau tatau mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau feuiʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou meʻe; Kuo mau hiva fakamamahi kiate kimoutolu, Ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tangi.’
32They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
33He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo kai mā mo inu uaine; pea ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34Kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu; ka mou pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala!’
34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
35Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau kotoa pē.”
35Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
36¶ Pea naʻe kole kiate ia ʻae tokotaha ʻi he Fālesi ke na kai fakataha mo ia. Pea ne hū ki he fale ʻoe Fālesi, ʻo nofo ai ke kai.
36One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
37Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe angahala ʻi he kolo, kuo ʻilo ʻe ia ʻoku nofo mo kai ʻa Sisu ʻi he fale ʻae Fālesi, pea ne ʻomi ʻae puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo.
37Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38Pea tuʻu ia ʻi hono vaʻe mei hono tuʻa , ʻo tangi, pea kamata fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻaki hono loʻimata, ʻo ne holoholo ʻaki ia hono louʻulu, pea ʻuma ki hono vaʻe, ʻo tākai ʻaki ia ʻae lolo.
38Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae Fālesi ʻaia naʻe kole kiate ia, pea lea ia ʻi hono loto, ʻo pehē, “Ka ne ko hā palōfita ʻae tangata ni, pehē , kuo ne ʻilo ʻae fefine ni, mo ʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ala kiate ia: he ko e angahala ia.”
39Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
40Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Saimone, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae meʻa te u lea ai kiate koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, folofola mai.”
40Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
41“Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha pea naʻe totonu ke totongi kiate ia ʻe he toko ua: ko e tenali ʻe nimangeau ʻae tokotaha, kae nimangofulu ʻae tokotaha.
41“A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42Pea kuo ʻikai haʻana meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, pea ne fakamolemole leva ʻakinaua ʻosi pe. Ko ia ke ke tala mai, pe ko hai ʻiate kinaua ʻe ʻofa lahi kiate ia?”
42When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
43Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou mahalo ko ia pe naʻe lahi ʻene fakamolemole ki ai.” Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku totonu hoʻo mahalo.”
43Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
44Pea tafoki ia ki he fefine, mo ne pehē kia Saimone, “ʻOku ke mamata ki he fefine ni? Naʻaku hū ki ho fale, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻomi ha vai ki hoku vaʻe; ka kuo fufulu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻae loʻimata, mo holoholo ʻaki ia hono louʻulu.
44Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
45Naʻe ʻikai te ke ʻuma kiate au: ka ko e fefine ni talu ʻeku hū mai mo e ʻikai tuku ʻene ʻuma ki hoku vaʻe.
45You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46Naʻe ʻikai te ke pani ʻaki hoku ʻulu ʻae lolo: ka kuo tākai ʻe he fefine ni ʻa hoku vaʻe ʻaki ʻae lolo.
46You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu ai kiate koe, Ko ʻene angahala, ʻaia ʻoku lahi, kuo fakamolemole ia; ko ia ʻoku lahi ai ʻene ʻofa: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi hono fakamolemole, ʻoku siʻi ʻene ʻofa.”
47Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
48Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
48He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau nofo ʻo kai mo ia, naʻa nau kamata pehē ʻi honau loto, Ko hai eni ʻoku ne fakamolemole foki ʻae angahala?
49Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he fefine, “Kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
50He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
