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.
1And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coasts of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitudes flock to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2¶ Pea haʻu ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fehuʻi ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, “ʻOku ngofua ke tukuange ʻe he tangata ʻa hono uaifi?”
2And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kimoutolu?”
3But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?
4Pea nau pehē, “Naʻe tuku ʻe Mōsese ke tohi ʻae tohi fakamavae, pea tukuange ia .”
4Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put 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.
5To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.
6Kae talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻi he fakatupu naʻe ngaohi ʻakinaua ʻe he ʻOtua ‘ko e tangata mo e fefine.’
6But from the beginning of the 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;
7For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave 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 they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.
9Ko ia foki kuo fakataha ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakamavae ʻe ha tangata.”
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10Pea toe ʻeke ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia ʻi he fale ki he meʻa ko ia.
10And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.
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.
11And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth 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 the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth 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.
13And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that 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.
14Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
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.”
15Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.
16Pea fua hake ʻe ia ʻakinautolu ʻi hono nima, ʻo hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu, mo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he 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?”
17And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man running up and kneeling before him, asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may receive life everlasting?
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.
18And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? None is good but one, that is God.
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.’”
19Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy father and mother.
20Pea ne lea, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u fai eni kotoa pē talu ʻeku kei siʻi.”
20But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have observed 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.”
21And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22Pea naʻe puputuʻu ia ʻi he lea ko ia, pea ʻalu atu kuo mamahi; he naʻe lahi ʻene koloa.
22Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
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!”
23And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into 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 astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into 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 into the kingdom of God.
26Pea naʻa nau mātuʻaki ofo fakamanavahē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Pea ko hai ʻe moʻui?”
26Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: 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.”
27And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it 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.”
28And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
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,
29Jesus answering, said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath left house or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, 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.
30Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time; houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting.
31Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻe muimui; pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ʻae muimui.”
31But many that are first, shall be last: and the last, 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,
32And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall 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;
33Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the scribes and ancients, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him 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.”
34And they shall mock him, and spit on him, and scourge him, and kill him: and the third day he shall 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.”
35And James and John the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for us:
36Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā homo loto ke u fai maʻamoua?”
36But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you?
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.”
37And they said: Grant to us, that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy 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?”
38And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink of the chalice that I drink of: or be baptized with the baptism wherewith I am baptized?
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:
39But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of: and with the baptism wherewith I am baptized, you shall be baptized.
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 on my right hand, or on my left, is not mine to give to you, but to them for whom it is prepared.
41Pea kuo fanongo ai ʻae toko hongofulu, naʻa nau toki ʻita lahi kia Semisi mo Sione.
41And the ten hearing it, began to be much displeased at 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.
42But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who seem to rule over the Gentiles, lord it over them: and their princes have power 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 is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater, shall be your minister.
44Pea ko ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku loto ke ʻeiki, ʻe hoko ia ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē.
44And whosoever will be first among you, shall be the servant 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 the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a redemption 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.
46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho, with his disciples, and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son of Timeus, sat by the way side begging.
47Pea kuo fanongo ia ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ia, naʻe kamata tangi kalanga ia, ʻo pehē, “Sisu, Foha ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au.”
47Who when he had heard, that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry out, and to say: 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.”
48And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried a great deal the more: 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.”
49And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort: arise, he calleth thee.
50Pea siʻaki ʻe ia hono kofu, kae tuʻu hake, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu.
50Who casting off his garment leaped up, and came to him.
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.”
51And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni, that I may see.
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.
52And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he saw, and followed him in the way.
