1Pea kuo nau ofi ki Selūsalema, ʻo hoko ki Petefesi, mo Pētani, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, pea ne fekau atu ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua,
1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2ʻO ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai: pea ka mo ka hū ki ai, te mo ʻilo leva ʻae ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata; vevete ia, mo taki mai.
2and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3Pea ka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo fai ai eni?’ Mo pehēange, ‘ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki;’ pea te ne tuku leva ke ʻomi ia ki heni.”
3If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4Pea naʻa na ō, ʻo na ʻilo ʻae ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi ʻoku noʻotaki ʻituʻa ʻi he matapā, ʻi he potu ʻoe tefitoʻi hala; pea na vevete ia.
4So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻamoua ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi?”
5and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6Pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu: pea naʻe tuku ʻakinaua ke na ō.
6The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻuhiki kia Sisu, pea na ʻai ki ai hona ngaahi kofu; pea heka ia ki ai.
7Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8Pea folahi ʻe he tokolahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala; pea tutuʻu hifo ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻuluʻuluʻi ʻakau, ʻo falikiliki ʻaki ʻae hala.
8Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
9Pea ko kinautolu naʻe muʻomuʻa, mo kinautolu naʻe muimui, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Hosana; ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova!
9The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10Ke monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ʻo ʻetau tamai ko Tevita, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: Hosana ʻi he fungani māʻolunga.”
10“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
11Pea hoko ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema, pea hū ki he falelotu lahi: pea kuo vakai foli ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ai, pea kuo hokosia ʻae efiafi, naʻa nau ō ki Pētani mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
11Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12¶ Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei Pētani, naʻe fiekaia ia:
12The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13Pea sio mamaʻo atu ia ki he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻoku lau, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo kumi pe te ne ʻilo ai ha fua pe ʻikai: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha meʻa ka ko e lau pe; he naʻe kei tuai ʻae toʻukai fiki.
13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange ki ai, “Ngata ʻi heni ke ʻoua naʻa toe kai ʻeha taha ha fua ʻiate koe ʻo lauikuonga.” Pea fanongo ki ai ʻene kau ākonga.
14Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.
15¶ Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki Selūsalema: pea hū ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo ne fulihi ʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe kau fetongi paʻanga, mo e ngaahi nofoʻa ʻonautolu naʻe fakatau lupe;
15When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke ʻalu ha taha mo ʻene kavenga ʻi he falelotu lahi.
16And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17Pea ako ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ʻe ui ko e falelotu ki he kakai kotoa pē?’ Ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.”
17Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
18Pea fanongo ki ai ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, pea nau fifili pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau tāmateʻi ia: he naʻa nau manavahē kiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo ofo ʻae kakai fulipē ʻi heʻene akonaki.
18When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19Pea kuo hokosia ʻae efiafi, ne ʻalu ia mei he kolo.
19And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
20¶ Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau liu mai, ne nau vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki kuo mate mei hono aka.
20As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
21Pea fakamanatu ʻe Pita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko e fiki naʻa ke tukitalaʻi kuo mate ia.”
21Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
22Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Mou maʻu ʻae tui ki he ʻOtua.
22“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
23He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia te ne pehē ki he moʻunga ni, Hiki koe, pea lī koe ki he tahi; pea ʻikai fakataʻetaʻetui hono loto, ka ʻoku ne tui ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ne lea ʻaki, ʻe hoko ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai.
23“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
24Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou holi ki ai, ʻoka mou ka lotu, tui ʻoku mou maʻu ia , pea te mou maʻu.
24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25Pea ʻoka mou ka tuʻu ʻo lotu, fakamolemole, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou koviʻia ʻi ha taha; koeʻuhi ke fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi hoʻomou ngaahi hia.
25And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
26Pea ka ʻikai te mou fakamolemole, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.”

27¶ Pea naʻa nau toe haʻu ki Selūsalema: pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he falelotu lahi, naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e mātuʻa,
27After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
28ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia naʻa ne tuku kiate koe ʻae pule ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
28“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
29Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu foki ki he meʻa ʻe taha, pea mou tala mai kiate au, pea teu tala atu ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
29“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia? Pe mei he tangata? Tala mai.”
30John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
31Pea naʻe fealēleaʻaki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ pea ʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
31They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32Ka tau ka pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’” ʻoku tau manavahē ki he kakai: he ʻoku nau pehē kotoa pē, ko e palōfita moʻoni ʻa Sione.
32But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
33Pea ne nau lea, ʻo pehēange kia Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻilo.” Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
33So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
