1Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ono, pea vaheʻi ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, ʻo ne ʻave ʻakinautolu pe ki ha potu moʻunga māʻolunga,
1After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
2Pea naʻe liliu ia ʻi honau ʻao: pea ulo hono fofonga ʻo hangē ko e laʻā, pea hinehina hono kofu ʻo hangē ko e maama.
2There He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light.
3Pea vakai, kuo hā mai ʻa Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, ʻo na feleaʻaki mo ia.
3Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared before them, talking with Jesus.
4Pea lea ai ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea kapau te ke loto ki ai , tuku ke mau ngaohi ʻi heni ha fale ʻe tolu; ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will put up three shelters —one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, ʻiloange, kuo fakamaluʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao ngingila: pea vakai, ko e leʻo mei he ʻao, naʻe pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai; mou fakaongo kiate ia.”
5While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”
6Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae kau ākonga, naʻa nau tō foʻohifo ki honau mata, ʻo manavahē lahi.
6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.
7Pea haʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ala kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē.”
7Then Jesus came over and touched them. “Get up,” He said. “Do not be afraid.”
8Pea ʻi he hanga hake honau mata, naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe.
8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
9Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tala ki ha taha ʻaia kuo hā mai, kaeʻoua ke toetuʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata mei he mate.”
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
10Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata tohi, “ʻE tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā?”
10The disciples asked Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
11Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.
12Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kuo hili ʻae haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia, ka kuo nau fai kiate ia ʻenau faʻiteliha. ʻE mamahi pehē foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻiate kinautolu.”
12But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him whatever they wished. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”
13Pea toki ʻilo ai ʻe he kau ākonga, ko ʻene lea ia kiate kinautolu kia Sione ko e Papitaiso.
13Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.
14¶ Pea kuo nau hoko atu ki he kakai, mo ʻene haʻu kiate ia ha tangata, ʻo tuʻulutui kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē,
14When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus and knelt before Him.
15“ʻEiki, ʻaloʻofa ki hoku foha; he ʻoku vale ia, pea mamahi lahi: pea ʻoku faʻa tō ki he afi, pea faʻa tō ki he vai.
15“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
16Pea naʻaku ʻomi ia ki hoʻo kau ākonga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakamoʻui ia.”
16I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui mo angakovi, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku kātakiʻi ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ia ki heni kiate au.”
17“O unbelieving and perverse generation!” Jesus replied. “How long must I remain with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy here to Me.”
18Pea naʻe valoki ʻe Sisu ʻae tēvolo; pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ʻiate ia: pea naʻe moʻui ʻae tamasiʻi talu mei he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
18Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
19Pea toki haʻu fakafufū pe ʻae kau ākonga kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
19Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20“Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻetui: he ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻe ʻai hoʻomou tui ʻo hangē ko e foʻi tengaʻi musita, te mou pehē ki he moʻunga ni, ‘Hiki ʻi heni ki he potu na;’ pea ʻe hiki ia: pea ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻe taʻefaʻafai ʻekimoutolu.
20“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
21Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ko ia, ka ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”

22¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau kei ʻi Kaleli, naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻae kau tangata:
22When they gathered together in Galilee, Jesus told them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.
23Pea te nau tāmateʻi ia, pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toe fokotuʻu ia.” Pea naʻe mamahi lahi ai ʻakinautolu.
23They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised to life.” And the disciples were deeply grieved.
24¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Kapaneume, naʻe haʻu kia Pita ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai tukuhau ʻa homou ʻEiki?”
24After they had arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your Teacher pay the two drachmas?”
25Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻIo.” Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, pea taʻofi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Saimone, ko e hā ho loto? ʻOku maʻu ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani ʻae totongi pe ʻae tukuhau ʻia hai? ʻI heʻenau fānau, pe mei he kakai kehe?”
25“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”
26Pea talaange ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻI he kakai kehe.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea tā ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae fānau.
26“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus declared.
27Ka ko eni telia naʻa tau fakaʻita kiate kinautolu, ʻalu koe ki tahi, ʻo taumātaʻu, ʻo toʻo ʻae ika ʻoku fuofua kai; pea ʻi hoʻo faʻai hono ngutu, te ke ʻilo ʻi ai ʻae paʻanga: ke ke toʻo ia, ʻo ʻoatu kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko kitaua.”
27“But so that we may not offend them, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for My tax and yours.”
