1Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ua, pea hoko ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu, mo e mā taʻemeʻafakatupu: pea naʻe kumi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau moʻua ia ʻi he kākā, ke tāmateʻi.
1Now the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a covert way to arrest Jesus and kill Him.
2Ka naʻa nau pehē, “Kae ʻikai ʻi he kātoanga, telia naʻa ai ha maveuveu ʻae kakai.”
2“But not during the feast,” they said, “or there may be a riot among the people.”
3¶ Pea naʻe ʻi Pētani ia, ʻi he fale ʻo Saimone ko e kilia, pea ʻi heʻene nofo ʻo kai, naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine mo e puha ʻalapasita ʻoe lolo ko e naʻati moʻoni ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi; pea ne foaʻi ʻae puha, mo lilingi ki hono fofonga.
3While Jesus was in Bethany reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke open the jar and poured it on Jesus’ head.
4Pea naʻe ai ʻae niʻihi naʻa nau loto ʻita, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā kuo maumauʻi ai ʻae lolo?
4Some of those present, however, expressed their indignation to one another: “Why this waste of perfume?
5He naʻe faingofua ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻae tenali ʻe tolungeau tupu, pea foaki ki he masiva.” Pea nau lāunga kiate ia.
5It could have been sold for over three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor.” And they scolded her.
6Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Tuku ai pe ia; ko e hā ʻoku mou fakamamahiʻi ai ia? Kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue lelei kiate au.
6But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.
7He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva, pea ka mou ka loto ki ai ʻoku mou faʻa fai lelei kiate kinautolu; kae ʻikai teu ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē au.
7The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them whenever you want. But you will not always have Me.
8Kuo ne fai ʻaia ʻoku ne faʻa fai: kuo tomuʻa haʻu ia ke tākai hoku sino ki hono tanu.
8She has done what she could to anoint My body in advance of My burial.
9Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e potu ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻe malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei ni, ʻe fakahā ʻi ai foki mo ia kuo ne fai ko hono fakamanatuʻi.”
9And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”
10¶ Pea ko e tokotaha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, naʻa ne ʻalu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke lavakiʻi ia kiate kinautolu.
10Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.
11Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau fiefia, ʻo fakaʻilo paʻanga kiate ia. Pea lamasi ʻe ia ke tuʻumālie ʻene lavakiʻi ia.
11They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
12¶ Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe mā taʻemeʻafakatupu, ʻi heʻenau tāmateʻi ʻa e feilaulau ʻoe Lakaatu, pea pehē ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Ko e potu fē ʻoku ke loto ke mau ʻalu ʻo teuteu ai, koeʻuhi ke ke kai ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu?”
12On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
13Pea fekau atu ʻe ia ʻae toko ua ʻi heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he kolo, pea ʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimoua ʻae tangata ʻoku ne fua ʻae ipu vai: muimui ʻiate ia.
13So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,
14Pea ko e fale ko ia ʻe hū ki ai ia, mo pehē ai ki he ʻeiki ʻoe fale, ‘ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, “Kofaʻā ʻae potu fale, ʻaia teu kai ai mo ʻeku kau ākonga ʻi he kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.”’
14and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
15Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate kimoua ʻae potu lahi ki ʻolunga, kuo ngaohi mo teuteu: mo teuteu ʻi ai maʻatautolu.”
15And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”
16Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻene ongo ākonga, ʻo na hū ki he kolo, pea na ʻilo ʻo hangē ko ʻene lea kiate kinaua: pea na teuteu ai ʻa e feilaulau ʻoe Lakaatu.
16So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.
17Pea ʻi he efiafi naʻa ne haʻu mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve.
18Pea ʻi heʻenau nofo ʻo kai, naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko homou tokotaha ʻoku tau keinanga te ne lavakiʻi au.”
18And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
19Pea naʻa nau mamahi leva, mo nau taki taha pehē kiate ia, “Ko au ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ha taha, “Ko au ia?”
19They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”
20Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tokotaha ʻi he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻoku mā ala mo au ki he ipu.
20He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.
21Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻalu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi kiate ia: ka ʻe malaʻia ʻae tangata ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ne lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata! Naʻe lelei ki he tangata ko ia ʻo ka ne ʻikai fanauʻi ia.”
21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
22¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe Sisu ʻae mā, ʻo ne tāpuaki, mo tofitofi, pea ne ʻatu kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Toʻo, ʻo kai: ko eni hoku sino.”
22While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”
23Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae ipu inu, pea hili ʻene fakafetaʻi, naʻa ne ʻatu kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau inu mei ai kotoa pē.
23Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hoku toto eni ʻoe fuakava foʻou, ʻaia ʻoku lilingi koeʻuhi ko e tokolahi.
24He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
25Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai te u toe inu ʻi he fua ʻoe vaine, kaeʻoua ke hokosia ʻae ʻaho ko ia te u inu foʻou ai ia ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.”
25Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
26¶ Pea kuo hili ʻenau fasi hiva, naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
27Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE tūkia ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he poōni ʻiate au: he kuo tohi, ‘Te u taaʻi ʻae tauhi, pea ʻe movetevete ai ʻae fanga sipi.’
27Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
28“Kae hili ʻeku toetuʻu, te u muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ki Kāleli.”
28But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”
29Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe tūkia kotoa pē, ka e ʻikai te u pehē au.”
29Peter declared, “Even if all fall away, I never will.”
30Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate koe, Ko e ʻaho ni, ʻio, ʻi he pō ko eni, ʻe teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻae moa ʻo tuʻo ua, ka e liunga tolu hoʻo fakafisi ʻiate au.”
30“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene lea fakamātoato, “Kapau te u mate ai mo koe, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u fakafisiʻi koe.” Pea naʻe lea pehē foki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
31But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.
32Pea naʻa nau hoko ki he potu naʻe hingoa ko Ketisemani: pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Mou nonofo ʻi heni, kaeʻoua ke u lotu.”
32Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33Pea ne ʻave ʻe ia ʻa Pita mo Semisi mo Sione, pea kamata ilifia lahi, mo māfasia lahi ʻaupito;
33He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.
34Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mamahi lahi ʻaupito ʻo hangē ka mate hoku laumālie: mou tatali ʻi heni, pea leʻo.”
34Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
35Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, ʻo tō fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, pea ne kole, ʻo kapau ʻe faʻa fai, pea laka ʻae feituʻu pō ko ia ʻiate ia.
35Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.
36Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻApā, Tamai, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe koe ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; ke ke ʻave ʻae ipu ni ʻiate au: kaeʻoua naʻaku faʻiteliha au, ka ko koe pe.”
36“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37Pea haʻu ia, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo nau mohe, pea pehē ʻe ia kia Pita, “Saimone, ʻoku ke mohe ʻa koe? ʻE ʻikai te ke faʻa leʻo ʻe koe ʻi he feituʻu pō ʻe taha?
37Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?
38Mou leʻo pea lotu, telia naʻa lavaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻahiʻahi. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku fie fai ʻe he laumālie, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakano.”
38Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39Pea toe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo lotu, ʻo ne fai pe ʻae lea ko ia.
39Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40Pea ʻi heʻene haʻu, naʻa ne ʻilo ʻenau toe mohe, (he naʻe māfasia honau mata,) pea ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe ko e hā te nau lea ʻaki kiate ia.
40And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41Pea haʻu ia ko hono liunga tolu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Maʻu pe hoʻomou mohe, pea mālōlō: kuo lahi ia, kuo hokosia ʻae feituʻu pō: vakai, kuo lavakiʻi ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kau angahala.
41When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42Tuʻu hake, ke tau ʻalu; vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ia ʻoku ne lavakiʻi au.”
42Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
43¶ Pea lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene haʻu ʻa Siutasi, ko e tokotaha ʻoe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, pea mo e fuʻu kakai mo ia, mo e ngaahi heletā mo e ngaahi ʻakau, mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pea mo e mātuʻa.
43While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
44Pea ko ia naʻe lavakiʻi ia kuo ne tuku ʻae fakaʻilonga kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ʻilonga ʻaia teu ʻuma ki ai, ko ia ia: puke ia, ʻo tataki atu.”
44Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”
45Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai, pea ne ʻalu leva kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki;” pea ʻuma kiate ia.
45Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46¶ Pea naʻa nau ala honau nima kiate ia, ʻo puke ia.
46Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.
47Pea ko e tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai , naʻa ne unuhi ʻae heletā, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo motuhi hono telinga.
47And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
48Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “He kuo mou omi ke puke au, mo e ngaahi heletā mo e ngaahi ʻakau, ʻo hangē ha kaihaʻa?
48Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?
49Naʻaku ʻi he falelotu lahi mo kimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo akonaki, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou puke au: ka kuo pau ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi tohi.”
49Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me. But this has happened that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”
50Pea naʻe liʻaki ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē, ka nau feholaki.
50Then everyone deserted Him and fled.
51Pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae talavou ʻe tokotaha, kuo vala ʻaki ʻae tupenu pea naʻe puke ia ʻe he kau talavou:
51One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,
52Pea siʻaki ʻe ia ʻae tupenu, kae hola telefua ʻiate kinautolu.
52but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.
53¶ Pea naʻa nau tataki atu ʻa Sisu ki he taulaʻeiki lahi: pea naʻe fakataha mo ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē mo e mātuʻa mo e kau tangata tohi.
53They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.
54Pea muimui mamaʻo atu kiate ia ʻa Pita, ki he fale ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi: pea nofo ia mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo ne mumū ʻi he afi.
54Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
55Pea kumi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē, ʻae fakamoʻoni kia Sisu, ke nau tāmateʻi ai ia; ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu.
55Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.
56He naʻe fakamoʻoni loi kiate ia ʻae tokolahi, ka naʻe ʻikai fai tatau ʻa ʻenau fakamoʻoni.
56For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent.
57Pea tuʻu hake ʻae niʻihi, ʻonau fakamoʻoni loi kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
57Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him:
58“Naʻa mau fanongo ki heʻene pehē, ‘Te u veteki ʻae falelotu lahi ni kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae nima, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu langa ha taha kehe, kae ʻikai ʻaki ʻae nima.’”
58“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’”
59Ka naʻe ʻikai fai tatau foki ʻenau fakamoʻoni.
59But even their testimony was inconsistent.
60Pea tuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ʻi he haʻohaʻonga, ʻo ne fehuʻi kia Sisu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke lea ki ai ? Ko e hā eni ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻekinautolu ni kiate koe?”
60So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”
61Ka naʻe longo pē ia, ʻo ʻikai siʻi lea. Pea toe fehuʻi ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko koe ko e Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe Monūʻia?”
61But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko au ia: pea te mou mamata ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe māfimafi, pea mo ʻene haʻu mo e ngaahi ʻao ʻoe langi.”
62“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
63Pea toki haehae ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi hono kofu, ʻo pehē, “He koeʻumaʻā mo ha kau fakamoʻoni kehe?
63At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses?
64Kuo mou fanongo ki he lea fie ʻOtua: ko e hā homou loto?” Pea nau loto taha kotoa pē ʻe totonu ke mate.
64You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.
65Pea kamata ʻaʻanu ʻae niʻihi kiate ia, pea ke ʻufiʻufi hono mata, ʻo taaʻi ia, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Kikite!” Pea sipiʻi ia ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki honau ʻaofinima.
65Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.
66¶ Pea ʻi he kei nofo ʻa Pita ʻi he fale ʻi lalo, ne haʻu ʻae fefine kaunanga ʻe taha ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi:
66While Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the servant girls of the high priest came down
67Pea ʻi heʻene mamata kia Pita ʻoku ne mumū, naʻa ne sio kiate ia, mo ne pehē, “Ta ko koe foki naʻa ke ʻia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti.”
67and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”
68Ka naʻe fakafisi ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ia , pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ke lea ʻaki.” Pea ʻalu ia ki he fale ʻituʻa; pea ʻuʻua ʻae moa.
68But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.
69Pea toe mamata kiate ia ʻae fefine kaunanga, pea kamata pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai, ko e taha eni ʻokinautolu.
69There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”
70Pea toe fakafisi ia. Pea fuoloa siʻi, pea toe pehē ʻekinautolu naʻe tutuʻu ʻi ai kia Pita, “Ko e moʻoni ko e taha koe ʻakinautolu; he ko e Kāleli koe, pea ʻoku tatau mo ia hoʻo lea.”
70But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”
71Ka naʻe kamata kape ia mo fuakava, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻae tangata ni ʻoku mou lea ki ai.”
71But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”
72Pea naʻe ʻuʻua ʻae moa ko hono liunga ua. Pea manatu ʻa Pita ki he lea ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE teʻeki ai liunga ua ʻae ʻuʻua ʻae moa, kae liunga tolu hoʻo fakafisi ʻiate au.” Pea ʻi heʻene manatu ki ai , naʻa ne tangi.
72And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
