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 his brother, and brought them up into 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.
2He was changed before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
3Pea vakai, kuo hā mai ʻa Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, ʻo na feleaʻaki mo ia.
3Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
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 answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: 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 he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “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 it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
7Pea haʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ala kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehē, “Tuʻu hake, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē.”
7Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.”
8Pea ʻi he hanga hake honau mata, naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata ki ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe.
8Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone.
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 from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen 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?”
10His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why 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 answered them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and 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 come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”
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 spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
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 multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him and saying,
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, for he is epileptic and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
16Pea naʻaku ʻomi ia ki hoʻo kau ākonga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fakamoʻui ia.”
16So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure 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.”
17Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him 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.
18Jesus rebuked the demon, and it went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
19Pea toki haʻu fakafufū pe ʻae kau ākonga kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why weren’t we able to cast 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.
20He said to them, “Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ko ia, ka ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”
21But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting.”
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:
22While they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered up 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.
23and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” They were exceedingly sorry.
24¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Kapaneume, naʻe haʻu kia Pita ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai tukuhau ʻa homou ʻEiki?”
24When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?”
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?”
25He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?”
26Pea talaange ʻe Pita kiate ia, “ʻI he kakai kehe.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Pea tā ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻae fānau.
26Peter said to him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt.
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.”
27But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.”
