1Pea naʻe mahuʻi mei ai ia, ʻo haʻu ki he mata fonua ʻo Siutea, ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani: pea toe fakataha ʻae kakai kiate ia; pea ne toe akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai.
1Then Jesus left that place and went into the region of Judea, beyond the Jordan. Again the crowds came to Him and He taught them, as was His custom.
2¶ Pea haʻu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, “ʻOku ngofua ke tukuange ʻe he tangata ʻa hono uaifi?”
2Some Pharisees came to test Him. “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” they inquired.
3Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu?”
3“What did Moses command you?” He replied.
4Pea nau pehē, “Naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese ke tohi ʻae tohi fakamavae, pea tukuange ia .”
4They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
5Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he fefeka ʻo homou loto naʻa ne tohi ai ʻae fekau ni kiate kimoutolu.
5But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
6Kae talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻi he fakatupu naʻe ngaohi ʻakinaua ʻe he ʻOtua ‘ko e tangata mo e fefine.’
6However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
7‘Pea ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifi;
7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8pea ʻe hoko ʻakinaua ko e kakano pe taha:’ ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ke na kei ua ka ko e kakano pe taha.
8and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9Ko ia foki kuo fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakamavae ʻe ha tangata.”
9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10Pea toe ʻeke ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia ʻi he fale ki he meʻa ko ia.
10When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
11Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻe tukuange hono uaifi, pea fakamaʻu mo ha taha kehe, ʻoku tono fefine ia kiate ia.
11So He told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12Pea kapau ʻe tukuange ʻe he fefine ʻa hono husepāniti, pea fakamaʻu mo ha taha kehe, ʻoku tono tangata ia.”
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
13¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae tamaiki iiki kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ala kiate kinautolu: pea lolomi ʻe he kau ākonga ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu.
13Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14Ka ʻi he ʻafio ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea tuputāmaki lahi ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Tuku ke haʻu kiate au ʻae tamaiki iiki, pea ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ʻakinautolu; he ʻoku ʻoe kakai pehē ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
14But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo hangē ko ha tamasiʻi siʻi, ʻe ʻikai hū ia ki ai.”
15Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
16Pea fua hake ʻe ia ʻakinautolu ʻi hono nima, ʻo hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu, mo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
16And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
17¶ Pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele atu ki he hala, naʻe lele mai ʻae tokotaha, ʻo tūʻulutui kiate ia, mo fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē , “ʻEiki lelei, ko e hā teu fai ke u maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata?”
17As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. “Good Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke ui ai au ko e lelei? Ko e tokotaha pe ʻoku lelei, ʻaia ko e ʻOtua.
18“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.
19ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi fekau, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine, ʻOua naʻa ke fakapō, ʻOua naʻa ke kaihaʻa, ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi, ʻOua naʻa ke kākā, Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē.’”
19You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, do not cheat others, honor your father and mother.’”
20Pea ne lea, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku kei siʻi.”
20“Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”
21Pea sio ki ai ʻa Sisu mo ʻofa kiate ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ke kei hala ai: ke ke ʻalu, ʻo fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻau, pea ke foaki ki he masiva, pea te ke maʻu ʻae koloa ʻi he langi: pea ke haʻu, ʻo fua ʻae ʻakau māfasia, mo muimui ʻiate au.”
21Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”
22Pea naʻe puputuʻu ia ʻi he lea ko ia, pea ʻalu atu kuo mamahi; he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
22But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.
23¶ Pea vakai foli ʻe Sisu, pea ne pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e meʻa faingataʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu koloa ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua!”
23Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
24Pea ofo ʻae kau ākonga ʻi heʻene ngaahi lea. Ka naʻe toe lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Fānau ʻe faingataʻa ʻaupito kiate kinautolu ʻoku falala ki he koloa ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua!
24And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!
25ʻOku faingofua ke hū ʻae kāmeli ʻi he avaʻi hui, ʻi he hū ʻae tangata koloaʻia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26Pea naʻa nau mātuʻaki ofo fakamanavahē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
26They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
27Pea vakai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai eni ʻe he tangata, ka ko e ʻOtua pe: he ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.”
27Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
28¶ Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo mau liʻaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo muimui ʻiate koe.”
28Peter began to say to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You.”
29Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata kuo ne liʻaki ʻae fale, pe ko e ngaahi kāinga, pe ha ngaahi tuofefine, pe ko e tamai, pe ko e faʻē, pe ha uaifi, pe ha fānau, pe ko e fonua, koeʻuhi ko au, pea mo e ongoongolelei,
29“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel
30Ka te ne maʻu ʻo taki teau ʻi he moʻui ni, ko e fale, mo e kāinga, mo e tuofefine, mo e faʻē, mo e fānau, mo e fonua, fakataha mo e fakatanga; pea ʻi he maama ʻe haʻu ko e moʻui taʻengata.
30will fail to receive a hundredfold in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.
31Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻe muimui; pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui.”
31But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
32¶ Pea kuo nau fononga ʻi he hala ki Selūsalema; pea muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Sisu ʻiate kinautolu: pea ofo ai ʻakinautolu; pea nau manavahē ʻi heʻenau muimui. Pea ne toe ʻave ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo ne kamata tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko kiate ia,
32As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:
33ʻO ne pehē , “Vakai, ʻoku tau ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema; pea ʻe tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi; pea te nau fakamaau ia ke mate, ʻo tukuange ia ki he Senitaile;
33“Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,
34Pea te nau manukiʻi ia, mo haha ia, mo ʻaʻanu kiate ia, mo tāmateʻi ia; pea ʻi hono ʻaho tolu ʻe toetuʻu ia.”
34who will mock Him and spit on Him and flog Him and kill Him. And after three days He will rise again.”
35¶ Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻa Semisi mo Sione, ko e ongo foha ʻo Sepeti, ʻo na pehē, “ʻEiki, ko homa loto ke ke fai maʻamaua ʻaia kotoa pē te ma kole ki ai.”
35Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and declared, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
36Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā homo loto ke u fai maʻamoua?”
36“What do you want Me to do for you?” He inquired.
37Pea na pehē kiate ia, Tuku kiate kimaua ke ma nofo, ko e tokotaha ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu, pea tokotaha ʻi ho nima toʻohema, ʻi ho nāunau.”
37They answered, “Grant that one of us may sit at Your right hand and the other at Your left in Your glory.”
38Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “ʻOku ʻikai temo ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku mo kole: ʻoku mo faʻa fai ke inu ʻi he ipu ʻaia te u inu ai? Pea ke papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia te u papitaiso ai?”
38“You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I will drink, or be baptized with the baptism I will undergo?”
39Pea na pehēange kiate ia, “ʻOku ma faʻa fai pe.” Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “ʻE inu moʻoni ʻekimoua ʻi he ipu te u inu ai; pea temo papitaiso ʻi he papitaiso ko ia ʻe papitaiso ʻaki au:
39“We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo.
40Ka ko e nofo ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu mo hoku nima toʻohema, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku ia ke foaki, ka kiate kinautolu kuo teuteu ia ki ai.”
40But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
41Pea kuo fanongo ai ʻae toko hongofulu, naʻa nau toki ʻita lahi kia Semisi mo Sione.
41When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John.
42Ka naʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko kinautolu kuo fakanofo ko e ʻeiki ʻoe Senitaile ʻoku nau faʻa puleʻi ʻakinautolu; pea ko honau houʻeiki ʻoku nau fai faʻiteliha kiate kinautolu.
42So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.
43Ka ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻiate kimoutolu: ka ko ia ʻoku loto ke lahi ʻiate kimoutolu, ke hoko ia ko homou tauhi:
43But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,
44Pea ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki, ʻe hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē.
44and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.
45He naʻe ʻikai ke haʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ke tauhia ia, ka ke tauhi, pea ke foaki ʻene moʻui ko e huhuʻi ʻoe tokolahi.”
45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
46¶ Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki Seliko: pea ʻi heʻenau ō ʻi Seliko mo ʻene kau ākonga, mo e kakai tokolahi, naʻe nofo ʻo kole ʻi he veʻehala motuʻa ʻae kui ko Patimiusi, ko e foha ʻo Timiusi.
46Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting beside the road.
47Pea kuo fanongo ia ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ia, naʻe kamata tangi kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
47When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
48Pea lolomi ia ʻe he tokolahi ke fakalongo pē: kae ʻāsili ai ʻaupito ʻene kalanga, “Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa kiate au.”
48Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
49Pea tuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fekau ke ui kiate ia. Pea naʻa nau ui ʻae tangata kui, mo pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke fiemālie, tuʻu; ʻoku ne ui koe.”
49Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”
50Pea siʻaki ʻe ia hono kofu, kae tuʻu hake, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu.
50Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.
51Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ho loto ke u fai kiate koe?” Pea pehēange ʻe he tangata kui kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ke ʻā hoku mata.”
51“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”
52Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻAlu; kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.” Pea ʻā leva ia, ʻo ne muimui kia Sisu ʻi he hala.
52“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
