King James Version with Apocrypha
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 he called his twelve disciples together, and 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 unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4Pea ko e fale ko ia te mou hū ki ai, mou nofo ai, pea toki ʻalu ai.
4And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
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 the very dust from 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 they departed, and went 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.”
7¶ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Kuo hā mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā; mo e niʻihi, Kuo toetuʻu ha taha ʻi he kau palōfita motuʻa.”
8And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of 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 have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired 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.
10¶ And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called 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.
11And the people, when they knew it , followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that 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.”
12And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and 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 unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
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.”
14For they 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.
16Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the 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 eat, and were all filled: and there was 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?”
18¶ And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people 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.”
19They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say , Elias; and others say , that one of the old 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.”
20He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 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;
21And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
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 of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
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.
23¶ And he said to them 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: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same 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, or be cast away?
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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, 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 be some standing here, which shall not taste of 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.
28¶ And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, 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 as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30Pea vakai, naʻe alea mo ia ʻae tangata ʻe toko ua, ʻaia ko Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā:
30And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
31ʻO na hā mai ʻi he nāunau, ʻonau alea ki heʻene pekia, ʻaia te ne fai ʻi Selūsalema.
31Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at 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 when they were awake, 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, as they departed from him, Peter said unto 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.
34While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as 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 there came a voice 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 when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those 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,
37¶ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
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 of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
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 taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40Pea ne u kole ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.
40And I besought 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 thy son hither.
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 yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him . And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
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,
43¶ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44“Tuku ke ongo ki ho ʻoʻou telinga ʻae ngaahi lea ko eni: ʻe tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai.”
44Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for 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 saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46¶ Pea naʻe tupu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fakakikihi, pe ko hai ʻe lahi ʻiate kinautolu.
46¶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47Pea ʻiloʻi ʻe Sisu ʻae mahalo ʻa honau loto, pea toʻo mai ʻe ia ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo tuku ia ke ofi kiate ia,
47And Jesus, perceiving the thought 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 unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.
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.”
49¶ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad 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 unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51Pea pehē, ʻi he ofi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ke maʻu hake ai ia ki ʻolunga, naʻa ne fakahangatonu hono fofonga ke ʻalu ki Selūsalema,
51¶ And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly 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 sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ia, koeʻuhi naʻe hanga hono mata ʻo hangē ka ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema.
53And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go 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 saw this , they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
55Ka naʻe tangaki ia ki mui, ʻo valoki ʻakinaua, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai siʻi te mo ʻilo ʻae anga ʻo homo loto.
55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
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.
56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them . And they went to another village.
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.”
57¶ And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever 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.”
58And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have 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.”
59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and 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.”
60Jesus said unto 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 also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home 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.”
62And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
