1Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi he ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea naʻe fiekaia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau kamata toli ʻae fua ʻoe uite, ʻo kai.
1At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.
2Ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
2When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene fiekaia, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia;
3Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?
4ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke ne kai, pe ko kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe?
4He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.
5Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻi he fono, ʻoku fai taʻehalaia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻaia ʻoku kovi ke fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?
5Or haven’t you read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and yet are innocent?
6Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi he potu ni ha taha ʻoku lahi ʻi he falelotu lahi.
6But I tell you that something greater than the temple is here.
7Pea ka ne mou ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe lea ni , ‘ʻE ʻikai te u lelei lahi ʻi he feilaulau, ka ʻi he lotoʻofa,’ pehē, ne ʻikai te mou tukuekina ʻae taʻehalaia.
7If only you had known the meaning of ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the innocent.
8He ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe ʻaho Sāpate foki.”
8For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
9¶ Pea kuo ʻalu ia mei ai, pea hū ia ki honau falelotu.
9Moving on from there, Jesus entered their synagogue,
10Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima. Pea nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngofua ke fakamoʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?” Koeʻuhi ke nau fakakoviʻi ia.
10and a man with a withered hand was there. In order to accuse Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
11Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata fē ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku taha pe ʻene sipi, pea ka tō ia ki ha luo ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻe ʻikai te ne puke ia, ʻo toʻo hake?
11He replied, “If one of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?
12Pea ʻikai ʻoku lelei lahi ʻae tangata ʻi he sipi? Ko ia, ʻoku ngofua ke fai lelei ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
12How much more valuable is a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, “Mafao atu ho nima.” Pea ne mafao atu ia ; pea fakamoʻui ia, ʻo hangē ko hono nima ʻe taha.
13Then Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out, and it was restored to full use, just like the other.
14¶ Pea toki ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau, pe fēfē ʻenau tāmateʻi ia.
14But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.
15Ka ʻi he ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu mei ai: pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē;
15Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,
16Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakaʻilo ia:
16warning them not to make Him known.
17Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē,
17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18“Vakai ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo u fili; ʻoku ou ʻofa ai, pea ʻoku mālieʻia ai hoku laumālie: Te u tuku hoku laumālie kiate ia, pea te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi fekau ki he Senitaile.
18“Here is My Servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19ʻE ʻikai fakakikihi ia, pe kalanga; pea ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻe ha taha ki hono leʻo ʻi he hala.
19He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.
20ʻE ʻikai te ne fesiʻi ha kaho kuo volu, pe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoku kohu pē, kaeʻoua ke mālohi ia ʻi he fofola ʻo ʻene ngaahi fekau.
20A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not extinguish, till He leads justice to victory.
21Pea ʻe falala ʻae Senitaile ki hono huafa.”
21In His name the nations will put their hope.”
22¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ai kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe kui mo noa, kuo ʻulusino ai ʻae tēvolo: pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia, ko ia naʻe lea mo ʻā ai ʻaia naʻe kui mo noa.
22Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see.
23Pea ofo ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “ʻIkai ko e Foha eni ʻo Tevita?”
23The crowds were astounded and asked, “Could this be the Son of David?”
24Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai kapusi ʻae tēvolo ʻe he siana ni, kae ʻia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
24But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “Only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, does this man drive out demons.”
25Pea ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e kolo mo e fale kotoa pē kuo feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia:
25Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
26Pea kapau ʻoku kapusi ʻe Sētane ʻa Sētane, kuo fehiʻa ia kiate ia.; pea ʻe tuʻu fēfē ʻa hono puleʻanga?
26If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
27Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou fānau ʻia hai? Ko ia ko homou kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu.
27And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
28Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea tā kuo hoko mai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
28But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
29“ʻE faʻa hū fēfē ha taha ki he fale ʻoe tokotaha mālohi, ʻo kaihaʻasi ʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa haʻi ʻae tokotaha mālohi? Pea te ne toki kaihaʻasi ʻene koloa.
29Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions, unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.
30Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku ne fakahē ke mamaʻo.
30He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
31¶ “Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e angahala kotoa pē mo e lohiakiʻi, ʻe fakamolemole ia ki he kakai: ka ko e lohiakiʻi ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni , ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ia ki he kakai.
31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
32Pea ko ia ʻoku ne lea kovi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe fakamolemolea ia: ka ko ia ʻoku lea kovi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea, ʻi he māmani, pe ʻi he maama ʻe haʻu.
32Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.
33“Ke pehē, ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau, pea lelei mo hono fua; pe pehē, ʻoku kovi ʻae ʻakau, pea kovi mo hono fua: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻae ʻakau ʻi hono fua.
33Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.
34ʻAe hako ʻoe ngata fekai! ʻE fēfeeʻi hoʻomou faʻa lea lelei, ka ʻoku mou kovi pe? He ʻoku lea ʻae ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoku ʻi he loto.
34You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei mei he koloa lelei ʻoe loto : pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi mei he koloa kovi ʻoe loto .
35The good man brings good things out of his good store of treasure, and the evil man brings evil things out of his evil store of treasure.
36“Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e lea kovi kotoa pē ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai, ʻe fakamaau ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau.
36But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.
37Koeʻuhi ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea ʻe fakahalaiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea.”
37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”
38¶ Pea toki leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fie mamata ki ha fakaʻilonga meiate koe.”
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
39Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e toʻutangata kovi mo feʻauaki ʻoku holi ki ha fakaʻilonga; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona;
39Jesus replied, “A wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40He naʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika lahi: pea pehē, ʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi lalo fonua.
40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia ia: koeʻuhi naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
41The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
42ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia ia: he naʻe haʻu ia mei he potu mamaʻo ʻo māmani ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Solomone.
42The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here.
43“ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli mei he tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he potu mōmoa ʻo kumi mālōloʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia.
43When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
44Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale ne u haʻu mei ai; pea ka haʻu ia, ʻoku ne ʻilo ia kuo liʻaki, pea kuo tafi pea teuteu.
44Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order.
45Pea toki ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku kovi lahi ʻiate ia, pea nau hū ʻo nofo ki ai: pea kovi lahi ʻa e anga ki mui ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene anga ʻi muʻa. Pea ʻe pehē pe foki ki he toʻutangata angakovi ni.”
45Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”
46¶ Pea ʻi heʻene kei lea ki he kakai, vakai, ko ʻene faʻē mo hono ngaahi kāinga naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ʻonau fie lea kiate ia.
46While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to Him.
47Pea pehē ʻe ha taha kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ʻituʻa hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga, ko ʻenau fie lea kiate koe.”
47Someone told Him, “Look, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to You.”
48Pea ne lea, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, naʻa ne fakahā mai, “Ko hai ʻeku faʻē? Pea ko hai mo hoku kāinga?”
48But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”
49Pea mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga!
49Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.
50He ko ia ia te ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ko hoku tokoua ia, mo hoku tuofefine, mo ʻeku faʻē.”
50For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
