1Pea toki haʻu ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻo Selūsalema, kia Sisu, ʻonau pehē,
1Then came to him from Jerusalem scribes and Pharisees, saying:
2“Ko e hā ʻoku liʻaki ai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae kau mātuʻa? He ʻoku ʻikai te nau fanofano honau nima ʻoka nau ka kai mā.”
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the ancients? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou liʻaki ai foki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻomou talatupuʻa?
3But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said:
4He kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē:’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻe kapeʻi ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
4Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death.
5Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ‘Ko ia ʻe pehē ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, “Kuo fakatapui ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou faʻa ʻaonga ai kiate koe,”
5But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee.
6pea ʻoku ʻikai toe fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻe ʻataʻatā ia .’ Ko ia ʻoku mou fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa.
6And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.
7ʻAe kau mālualoi! Neʻineʻi lea ʻa ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē,
7Hypocrites, well hath Isaias prophesied of you, saying:
8‘ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau ngutu, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu; ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
8This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me.
9Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, ʻo akonaki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata pe.’”
9And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.
10¶ Pea ui ia ki he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo, pea tokanga:
10And having called together the multitudes unto him, he said to them: Hear ye and understand.
11ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻuli ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu ki he ngutu; ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he ngutu, ʻoku ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man: but what cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12Pea toki haʻu ai ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe tūkia ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he lea ko ia?”
12Then came his disciples, and said to him: Dost thou know that the Pharisees, when they heard this word, were scandalized?
13Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e ʻakau kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai tō ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake ia.
13But he answering them, said: Every plant which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
14Tuku ai pe ʻakinautolu: ko e kau takimuʻa kui ʻoe kui ʻakinautolu. Pea kapau ʻoku tataki ʻae kui ʻe he kui, ʻe tō fakatouʻosi pe ki he luo.”
14Let them alone: they are blind, and leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the pit.
15Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ni.”
15And Peter answering, said to him: Expound to us this parable.
16Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku mou kei taʻeʻilo foki?
16But he said: Are you also yet without understanding?
17ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he kete, pea toki ʻalu hifo kituʻa?
17Do you not understand, that whatsoever entereth into the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy?
18Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku haʻu mei he loto: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
18But the things which proceed out of the mouth, come forth from the heart, and those things defile a man.
19He ʻoku haʻu mei he loto ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e fakapō, mo e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e kaihaʻa, mo e fakamoʻoni loi, mo e lea kovi:
19For from the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20Ko eni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata: ka ko e kai taʻefanofano nima, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻuliʻi ia ʻae tangata.”
20These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with unwashed hands doth not defile a man.
21¶ Pea toki ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Taia mo Saitone.
21And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine Kēnani mei he potu ko ia, ʻo tangi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻe ʻEiki, ko e foha ʻo Tevita; ko ʻeku taʻahine ʻoku mamahi lahi ʻi he tēvolo.”
22And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.
23Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne lea kiate ia. Pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ia ke ʻalu; he ʻoku ne tangi toupili mai kiate kitautolu.”
23Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:
24Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai fekau au ka ki he fanga sipi he ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
24And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.
25Pea toki haʻu ia, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, tokoniʻi au.”
25But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.
26Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, pea lī ki he fanga kulī.”
26Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.
27Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī ʻae momoʻi meʻakai ʻoku ngangana mei he keinangaʻanga ʻa honau ʻeiki.”
27But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.
28Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE fefine, ʻoku lahi hoʻo tui: ke hoko kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.” Pea moʻui ʻene taʻahine ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
28Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
29Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, pea haʻu ia, ʻo ofi ki he tahi ʻo Kaleli; pea ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga, ʻo nofo ai.
29And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.
30Pea haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi kiate ia, pea nau ʻomi ʻae pipiki, mo e kui, mo e noa, mo e lavea, mo e tokolahi kehe, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu; pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻakinautolu:
30And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:
31Ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ai ʻae kakai, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo fakalea ʻae noa, pea fakahaohaoa ʻae lavea, pea fakaʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, pea fakaʻā ʻae kui: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
31So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32¶ Pea ui ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu ange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻofa mamahi ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaho tolu ʻenau ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai: pea ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa fekau ke nau ʻalu ʻaukai pe, telia naʻa nau pongia ʻi he hala.”
32And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33Pea lea ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Te tau maʻu mei fē ʻi he toafa ni ʻae mā lahi, ke fakamākona ʻaki ʻae fuʻu kakai pehē ni?”
33And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
34Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fiha hoʻomou foʻi mā?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻOku fitu, mo e fanga kihiʻi ika.”
34And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
35Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki he kelekele.
35And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
36Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu mo e ngaahi ika, pea fai ʻae fakafetaʻi, pea tofitofi ia, ʻo ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea tufaki ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
36And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the people.
37Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, pea mākona ai: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai pea fonu ai ʻae kato ʻe fitu.
37And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
38Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko fā afe, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
38And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
39Pea fekau ʻe ia ʻae kakai ke nau ʻalu, pea heka vaka ia ʻo folau ki he potu ʻo Makitala.
39And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
