1Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe Sisu ʻene akonaki ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai ke akonaki mo malanga ʻi honau ngaahi kolo.
1After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa Kalaisi, pea fekau atu ʻe ia ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua,
2Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
3ʻO na pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu, pe te tau ʻamanaki ki ha taha?”
3to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
4Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo ō, ʻo fakahā kia Sione ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mo fanongo, mo mamata ki ai:
4Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5ʻOku ʻā ʻae kui, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, ʻoku maʻa ʻae kilia, pea ongo ʻae tuli, pea fokotuʻu ʻae mate, pea ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he kakai masiva.
5The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
6Pea ʻoku monūʻia ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tūkia, ʻiate au.”
6Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
7¶ Pea kuo na ō, pea lea ʻa Sisu ki he kakai ʻia Sione, “Naʻa mou ʻalu ki he toafa ke mamata ki he hā? Ha vaʻa kaho ʻoku luluʻi ʻe he matangi?
7As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
8Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha tangata ʻoku kofuʻaki ʻae kofu molū? Vakai, ko kinautolu ʻoku kofu molū ʻoku nau ʻi he fale ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi.
8Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
9Ka naʻa mou ʻalu atu ke mamata ki he hā? Ha palōfita? ʻIo, pea ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he palōfita.
9What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10He ko eni ia kuo tohi ki ai, ‘Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu ʻeku talafekau ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate koe, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala ʻi ho ʻao.’
10This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
11Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai tupu ha tokotaha lahi hake ʻia Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻiate kinautolu kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine: ka ko ia ʻoku siʻi taha pe ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi ʻoku lahi ia ʻiate ia.
11Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12Pea talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ʻoku fai mālohi ki he puleʻanga ʻoe langi, pea ʻoku lavaʻi fakamālohi ia ʻe he kau mālohi.
12From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
13He naʻe akonaki ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē mo e fono ʻo hoko mo Sione.
13For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14Pea kapau ʻoku mou faʻa maʻu ia, ko ʻIlaisiā eni, ʻaia naʻe pehē ʻe haʻu.
14And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15Ko ia ʻoku ai ʻae telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.
15He who has ears, let him hear.
16¶ “Ka te u fakatatau ʻae toʻutangata ni ki he hā? ʻOku tatau ia mo e tamaiki ʻoku nofo ʻi he potu fakatau, ʻoku nau ui ki honau niʻihi,
16To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17ʻO pehē, ‘Naʻa mau ifi fangufangu kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻikai te mou meʻe; naʻa mau hiva fakatangi kiate kimoutolu, kae ʻikai te mou tangi.’
17‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18He naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Sione ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ʻiate ia ha tēvolo.’
18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
19Ka kuo haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻo kai mo inu, pea nau pehē, ‘Vakai, ko e tangata faʻa kai, mo faʻa inu uaine, ko e kāinga ʻoe kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala.’ Ka ʻoku fakatonuhia ʻae poto ʻe heʻene fānau.”
19The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
20¶ Pea toki kamata valoki ʻe ia ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe fai lahi ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue mana, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau taʻefakatomala:
20Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
21“ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Kolesini! ʻE malaʻia ʻa koe, Peteseta! He ka ne fai ʻi Taia mo Saitone ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate kimoutolu, pehē, kuo loa ʻenau fakatomala ʻi he tauangaʻa mo e efuefu.
21“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kātakingofua ʻa Taia mo Saitone ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate kimoutolu.
22But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23Pea ko Koe Kapaneume, ʻa Koe kuo hiki ki he langi, ʻe fakahifo Koe ki heli: he ka ne fai ʻi Sotoma ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi, ʻaia kuo fai ʻiate koe, pehē, kuo tuʻumaʻu ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
23And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
24Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻae fonua ko Sotoma ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau ʻiate koe.”
24But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”
25¶ Pea lea ʻa Sisu ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻe Tamai, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe langi mo māmani, ʻi hoʻo fufū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni mei he kau poto mo e fieʻiloʻilo, ka kuo ke fakahā ia ki he kau valevale.
25At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
26Ke pehē, ʻe Tamai: he ʻoku lelei ia ʻi ho ʻao ke pehē.
26Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
27“Kuo tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻAlo ʻe ha taha, ka ko e Tamai pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae Tamai ʻe ha taha, ka ko e ʻAlo pe, mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.
27All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
28¶ “Haʻu kiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku feinga mo māfasia, pea te u foaki ʻae fiemālie kiate kimoutolu.
28Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29Toʻo ʻeku haʻamonga kiate kimoutolu, pea mou ako ʻiate au; he ʻoku ou angavaivai mo angamalū: pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie.
29Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30He ʻoku faingofua pe ʻeku haʻamonga, pea ʻoku maʻamaʻa ʻeku kavenga.”
30For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
