Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Pea naʻe toki ui ia ke fakataha ʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae mālohi mo e pule ki he kau tēvolo kotoa pē, pea ke fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi mahaki.
1Then calling together the twelve apostles, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2Pea ne fekau atu ʻakinautolu ke malangaʻaki ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki.
2And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa ʻave ha meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fononga, ʻae ngaahi tokotoko, pea ha kato, pe ha mā, pe ha paʻanga; pe te mou taki ua ʻae kofutuʻa.
3And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey; neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats.
4Pea ko e fale ko ia te mou hū ki ai, mou nofo ai, pea toki ʻalu ai.
4And whatsoever house you shall enter into, abide there, and depart not from thence.
5Pea ko e potu ko ia ʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi ai, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu ʻi he kolo ko ia, mou tūtuuʻi ʻae efu ʻi homou vaʻe ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
5And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet, for a testimony against them.
6Pea naʻa nau ʻalu, ʻo fononga ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai, pea malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, mo nau fakamoʻui ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
6And going out, they went about through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7¶ Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe ia: pea naʻa ne puputuʻu ai, koeʻuhi naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Kuo toetuʻu ʻa Sione mei he mate.”
7Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard of all things that were done by him; and he was in a doubt, because it was said
8Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Kuo hā mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā; mo e niʻihi, Kuo toetuʻu ha taha ʻi he kau palōfita motuʻa.”
8By some, that John was risen from the dead: but by other some, that Elias had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9Pea pehē ʻe Helota, “Kuo u tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione; ka ko hai eni, ʻoku ou fanongo ki ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?” Pea ne ne holi ke mamata kiate ia.
9And Herod said: John I have beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
10¶ Pea kuo liu mai ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, pea nau fakahā kotoa pē kiate ia ʻaia kuo nau fai. Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinautolu, ʻo afe fakafufū ki he potu lala ʻoe kolo ʻoku ui ko Petesaita.
10And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.
11Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai, naʻa nau muimui kiate ia: pea ne maʻu ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne lea kiate kinautolu, ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻaia naʻe ʻaonga ke fakamoʻui.
11Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.
12Pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho, pea haʻu ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau ō ki he ngaahi potu kakai mo e ngaahi nofoʻanga kakai ofi mai, ʻo mohe ai, pea maʻu ai ʻae meʻa kai; he ʻoku tau ʻi heni ko e potu lala.”
12Now the day began to decline. And the twelve came and said to him: Send away the multitude, that going into the towns and villages round about, they may lodge and get victuals; for we are here in a desert place.
13Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻatu ha meʻakai kiate kinautolu.” Pea naʻa nau pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai haʻatau meʻa ka ko e foʻi mā ʻe nima mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau ō, ʻo fakatau meʻakai mā ʻae kakai ni kotoa pē.”
13But he said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless perhaps we should go and buy food for all this multitude.
14He naʻe toko nima afe nai ʻae tangata. Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Pule ke nau nofo hifo ʻo tautau toko nimangofulu.”
14Now there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples: Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15Pea naʻa nau fai ia, mo pule ke nau nofo hifo kotoa pē.
15And they did so; and made them all sit down.
16Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima mo e ika ʻe ua, pea hanga hake ia ki he langi, ʻo ne tāpuaki ia, mo tofitofi, ʻo ʻatu ki he kau ākonga ke tufaki ki he kakai.
16And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.
17Pea naʻa nau kai ʻo mākona ai kotoa pē: pea naʻe tānaki ʻae toenga kai naʻe toe kiate kinautolu, pea pito ai ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
17And they did all eat, and were filled. And there were taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
18¶ Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene lotu tokotaha pe, kuo ʻalu ange ʻene kau ākonga: pea fehuʻi ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he kakai, ko hai au?”
18And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples also were with him: and he asked them, saying: Whom do the people say that I am?
19Pea naʻa nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “Ko Sione ko e Papitaiso;” kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko ʻIlaisiā;” pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Kuo toetuʻu ha taha ʻi he kau palōfita motuʻa.”
19But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; but some say Elias; and others say that one of the former prophets is risen again.
20Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu. “Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu ko hai au?” Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange, “Koe Kalaisi koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
20And he said to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answering, said: The Christ of God.
21Pea ne naʻinaʻi mālohi mo fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa fakahā ʻae meʻa ko ia ki ha taha;
21But he strictly charging them, commanded they should tell this to no man.
22ʻO ne pehē, “ʻE kātaki ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea ʻe siʻaki ia ʻe he kau mātuʻa pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia, pea toe fokotuʻu ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
22Saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day rise again.
23¶ Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, “Kapau ʻe muimui ha taha kiate au, tuku ke siʻaki ia ʻe ia, pea toʻo hake ʻene ʻakau māfasia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea muimui ʻiate au.
23And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24He ko ia ʻe kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia; ka ko ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au, ko ia pe ʻe maʻu ia.
24For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; for he that shall lose his life for my sake, shall save it.
25He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki he tangata, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē, kae mole ia, pe liaki ia?
25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, and cast away himself?
26He ko ia ʻe mā ʻiate au mo ʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻe mā ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoka haʻu ia ʻi hono nāunau ʻoʻona, mo ʻene Tamai, pea mo e kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni.
26For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed, when he shall come in his majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
27Ka ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tutuʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻi heni, ʻe ʻikai te nau kamata ʻae mate, kaeʻoua ke nau mamata ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
27But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28¶ Hili ʻae ngaahi lea ni, ko e ʻaho nai ʻe valu, naʻe ʻave ʻe ia ʻa Pita mo Sione mo Semisi, pea nau ō hake ki he moʻunga ke lotu.
28And it came to pass about eight days after these words, that he took Peter, and James, and John, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29Pea ʻi heʻene lotu, naʻe fakafoʻou ʻae anga ʻo hono fofonga, pea naʻe hinehina ʻo ngingila hono ngaahi kofu.
29And whilst he prayed, the shape of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became white and glittering.
30Pea vakai, naʻe alea mo ia ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua, ʻaia ko Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā:
30And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,
31ʻO na hā mai ʻi he nāunau, ʻonau alea ki heʻene pekia, ʻaia te ne fai ʻi Selūsalema.
31Appearing in majesty. And they spoke of his decease that he should accomplish in Jerusalem.
32Ka ko Pita mo kinaua naʻe ʻiate ia naʻa nau māfasia ʻi he fie mohe: pea ʻi heʻenau ʻā, naʻa nau mamata ki hono nāunau, pea mo e ongo tangata naʻa nau tutuʻu mo ia.
32But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33Pea pehē, ʻi he ʻena ʻalu ʻiate ia, naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea tuku ke mau ngaohi ha fale ʻe tolu; ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā:” ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻene lea.
33And it came to pass, that as they were departing from him, Peter saith to Jesus: Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias; not knowing what he said.
34Pea lolotonga ʻene lea pehē, naʻe fakamalū ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao: pea naʻa nau manavahē ʻi heʻenau hū ki he ʻao.
34And as he spoke these things, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they entered into the cloud.
35Pea naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he ʻao, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni: fanongo kiate ia.”
35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son; hear him.
36Pea hili ʻae lea, naʻe ʻilo ʻa Sisu ʻoku tokotaha pe. Pea naʻa nau fufū eni, ʻo ʻikai fakahā ki ha tokotaha, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ha meʻa ʻe taha kuo nau mamata ki ai.
36And whilst the voice was uttered, Jesus was found alone. And they held their peace, and told no man in those days any of these things which they had seen.
37¶ Pea pehē, ʻi he pongipongi hake, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, pea fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae fuʻu kakai,
37And it came to pass the day following, when they came down from the mountain, there met him a great multitude.
38Pea vakai, naʻe kalanga mai ʻae tangata ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke vakai ki hoku foha: he ko ʻeku tamasiʻi tokotaha pe ia.
38And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.
39Pea vakai, ʻoku puke ia ʻe he laumālie, pea fokifā ʻoku tangi kalanga ia; pea ʻoku ne haeʻi ke koā ai ia, pea ʻoku ne haʻaki ia, pea ʻalu ai ʻi he taʻefieʻalu.”
39And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.
40Pea ne u kole ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.
40And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui mo angakovi, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻetau nonofo, mo ʻeku kātaki ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ho foha ki heni.”
41And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.
42Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, naʻe haʻaki ia ʻe he tēvolo, mo haeʻi. Pea naʻe tautea ʻe Sisu ʻae laumālie ʻuli, mo fakamoʻui ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo toe ʻatu ia ki heʻene tamai.
42And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.
43¶ Pea naʻa nau ofo kotoa pē ʻi he māfimafi lahi ʻoe ʻOtua. Ka ʻi heʻenau ofo kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa fulipē naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga,
43And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.
44“Tuku ke ongo ki ho ʻoʻou telinga ʻae ngaahi lea ko eni: ʻe tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai.”
44And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ni, pea naʻe fufū ia meiate kinautolu, pea ʻikai ai te nau ʻilo ia: pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia ʻi he lea ko ia.
45But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.
46¶ Pea naʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fakakikihi, pe ko hai ʻe lahi ʻiate kinautolu.
46And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.
47Pea ʻiloʻi ʻe Sisu ʻae mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea toʻo mai ʻe ia ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo tuku ia ke ofi kiate ia,
47But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,
48ʻO ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻe maʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ʻi hoku huafa, ʻoku ne maʻu au; pea ko ia ia ʻoku ne maʻu au, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au: he ko ia ʻoku siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ia ia ʻe lahi.”
48And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.
49¶ Pea lea ʻa Sione, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata ki ha taha ʻoku kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi ho huafa; pea naʻa mau taʻofi ia, he ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ia mo kimautolu.”
49And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
50Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa taʻofi: he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu ʻoku kau ia mo kitautolu.”
50And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.
51Pea pehē, ʻi he ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ke maʻu hake ai ia ki ʻolunga, naʻa ne fakahangatonu hono fofonga ke ʻalu ki Selūsalema,
51And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
52ʻO ne fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻa nau ō, ʻo hū ki he potu kakai ʻo Samēlia, ke teuteu ai kiate ia.
52And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.
53Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ia, koeʻuhi naʻe hanga hono mata ʻo hangē ka ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema.
53And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.
54Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻene ākonga ko Semisi mo Sione, pea na pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻe lelei kiate koe ke ma fekau hifo ʻae afi mei he langi, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe ʻIlaisiā?”
54And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
55Ka naʻe tangaki ia ki mui, ʻo valoki ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai siʻi te mo ʻilo ʻae anga ʻo homo loto.
55And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.
56He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke fakaʻauha ʻae moʻui ʻae kakai, ka ke fakamoʻui.” Pea naʻa nau ō ki he potu kakai ʻe taha.
56The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.
57¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau ō ʻi he hala, naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te u muimui kiate koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.”
57And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.
58Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he fanga fokisi ʻae tafu, pea ʻoku ʻi he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻae moheʻanga; ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ha potu ke tokoto ai hono ʻulu.”
58Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59Pea pehē ʻe ia ki ha taha kehe, “Muimui mai kiate au.” Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻEiki, tuku au ke u tomuʻa ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai.”
59But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.
60Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tuku ke tanu ʻe he mate honau mate; ka ke ʻalu koe ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
60And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.
61Pea naʻe pehē foki ʻe he tokotaha, “ʻEiki, te u muimui kiate koe; kae tuku au ke u tomuʻa ʻalu ʻo feʻiloaki mo kinautolu ʻi hoku fale.”
61And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.
62Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha kuo ʻai hono nima ki he huo toho, kae sio ki mui, ʻe ʻaonga ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
62Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
