1Pea pehē, kuo hili ia, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻo malanga mo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua,
1Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
2Pea mo e kau fefine naʻe fakamoʻui mei he kau laumālie kovi, mo e ngaahi mahaki, ko Mele ʻoku ui ko Makitaline, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tēvolo ʻe toko fitu,
2as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3Mo Sioana ko e uaifi ʻo Kusa ko e tauhi koloa ʻo Helota, mo Susana, mo e tokolahi kehe, naʻa nau tauhi ʻaki ia ʻenau koloa.
3Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
4¶ Pea kuo fakataha mai ʻae fuʻu kakai, kuo haʻu mei he kolo kotoa pē kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he fakatātā:
4While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
5“Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi ʻene tenga; pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he veʻe hala: pea malaki hifo ia, pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.
5“A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he maka; pea kuo toki tupu hake ia, pea mae leva , koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai viviku ia.
6Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
7Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he ʻakau talatala; pea tupu hake mo ia ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo kāsia ai ia.
7Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
8Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, ʻo tupu hake, pea tupu ai ʻae fua ʻe teau.” Pea kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea kalanga ia, “Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga. Ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
8Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fakatātā ni?”
9Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
10Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo tuku ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: ka ki he kakai kehe ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; koeʻuhi kenau ʻā ka ʻe ʻikai mamata, pea fanongo ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo.
10He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
11“Pea ko e fakatātā eni: Ko e tenga ko e folofola ia ʻae ʻOtua.
11Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he veʻe hala, ʻoku nau fanongo; pea toki haʻu ʻae tēvolo, ʻo ne toʻo atu ʻae folofola ʻi honau loto, telia naʻa nau tui pea moʻui ai.
12The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he maka, ʻaia ʻoku fanongo, pea maʻu ʻae folofola ʻi he fiefia; ka ʻoku ʻikai hanau aka, pea ʻoku nau tui fuoloa siʻi pe, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻoku nau hinga ai.
13The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
14Pea ko ia naʻe mokulu ki he ʻakau talatala, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku fanongo pea ʻalu atu, ka ko e tokanga mamahi mo e koloa mo e fiefia ʻi māmani, ʻoku kāsia ai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha fua ke haohaoa.
14The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15Ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kelekele moʻui, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola, ʻo maʻu ia ki he loto totonu mo lelei, pea fakatupu ʻae fua ʻi he fakakukafi.
15But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
16¶ “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata te ne tutu ʻae maama, ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae ipu, pe tuku ia ki he lalo mohenga; kae fokotuʻu ia ki ha tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi ai .
16No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
17He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lilo, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa pe taʻemafola kituʻa.
17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
18Ko ia mou tokanga ki hoʻomou fanongo: he ko ia ʻoku maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mahalo kuo ne maʻu.”
18Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19¶ Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻa ʻene faʻē mo hono kāinga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai.
19Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
20Pea naʻe fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga ʻoku tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ko ʻenau holi ke mamata kiate koe.”
20He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
21Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo fai ki ai.”
21But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
22¶ Pea pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe heka vaka ia mo ʻene kau ākonga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha. Pea naʻa nau tuku atu.”
22One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
23Ka ʻi heʻenau folau naʻe mohe ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ki he tahi ʻae taufa lahi: pea ngotofuʻu ʻae vaka , pea nau tuʻutāmaki ai.
23As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
24Pea naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki, kuo tau mate.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e hou ʻae tahi; pea tuku ia, ʻo tofukī.
24The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
25Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kofaʻā hoʻomou tui?” Ka naʻe manavahē mo ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai nai ʻae tangata ni! He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ki he matangi mo e tahi, pea ʻoku talangofua ia kiate ia.”
25“Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
26¶ Pea naʻa nau tau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Katala, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Kāleli.
26Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
27Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki ʻuta, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha mei he kolo, naʻe fuoloa ʻae ulusino ʻiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻe ʻikai ke vala, pe nofo fale, ka ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
28Pea mamata ia kia Sisu, pea kalanga, mo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo tangi leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sisu, ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga, ko e hā au kiate koe? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua ʻe fakamamahiʻi au.”
28When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
29(He kuo fekau ʻe ia ki he laumālie ʻuli ke haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata. He kuo liunga lahi hono puke ia: pea naʻe maʻu ia ʻi hono haʻisia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu; kae motuhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi haʻi, pea tuli ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he toafa.)
29For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30Pea fehuʻi ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione:” koeʻuhi kuo hū kiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi.
30“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia, ke ʻoua te ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻalu atu ki he loloto.
31And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss.
32Pea naʻe ai ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga ʻi he moʻunga: pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne tuku ke nau hū ki ai. Pea ne tukuange ia.
32There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
33Pea ʻalu atu leva ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he tangata, ʻonau hū ki he fanga puaka; pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, ʻo melemo ai.
33Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhimanu ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea nau feholaki, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻi he kolo mo e tukuʻuta.
34When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
35Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke vakai pe ko e hā kuo fai, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu, pea ʻilo ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea naʻa nau manavahē ai.
35So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe mamata ki ai , naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngāue kuo moʻui ai ia, ʻaia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
36Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37¶ Pea toki kole ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Katala ke ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo nau pukea ʻi he ilifia lahi: pea heka ia ki vaka, ʻo toe liu mai.
37Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
38Pea ko e tangata naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻa ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo mo ia: ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ia, ʻo ne pehē,
38The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
39“Toe ʻalu koe ki ho fale, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ongoongoa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu kiate ia.
39“Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
40¶ Pea pehē, kuo foki ange ʻa Sisu, naʻe toe maʻu fiefia ia ʻe he kakai: he naʻa nau tatali kotoa pē kiate ia.
40When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
41Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ko Sailosi hono hingoa, ko e pule ia ʻi he falelotu; pea ne fakatōmapeʻe ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo kole kiate ia ke haʻu ki hono fale:
41Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
42He kuo taha pe hono ʻofefine, pea kuo hongofulu ma ua nai hono taʻu pea kuo tei mate ia. Ka ʻi heʻene ʻalu naʻe fakaʻefi ia ʻe he kakai.
42because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
43¶ Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau ʻoe toto, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ki he kau faitoʻo, ka naʻe ʻikai ke moʻui ia ʻi ha taha,
43including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
44Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono tuʻa, ʻo ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea matuʻu leva ʻae ʻau ʻo hono toto.
44She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?” Pea kuo nau ʻikai kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe Pita mo kinautolu naʻa nau ʻiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku fakaʻefi mo kāpui koe ʻe he kakai, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”
45“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
46Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “Kuo ala ha taha kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kuo ʻalu ʻae mālohi ʻiate au.”
46But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
47Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai lilo ia, pea haʻu tetetete ia, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene ala kiate ia, pea mo ʻene moʻui ai leva.
47Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
48Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻo fiemālie.”
48“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
49¶ Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tokotaha mei he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine; ʻoua naʻa fakafiuʻi ʻae ʻEiki.”
49While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
50Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea lea ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOua te ke manavahē: ka ke tui pe, pea ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”
50But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
51Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke hū ki ai ha taha, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, pea mo e tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine.
51When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
52Pea naʻa nau tangi mo tangilāulau kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko ia: ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOua ʻe tangi; he ʻoku ʻikai mate ia, ka ʻoku mohe pe .”
52Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
53Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia, ko ʻenau ʻilo kuo mate ia.
53And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
54Pea ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea puke hono nima, ʻo ne ui, ʻo pehē, “Taʻahine, tuʻu hake.”
54But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
55Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa hono laumālie, pea tuʻu hake leva ia: pea ne fekau ke ʻatu haʻane meʻakai.
55Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
56Pea ofo ai ʻa ʻene mātuʻa: ka naʻe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinaua ke ʻoua naʻa na fakahā ki ha taha ʻaia kuo fai.
56Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
