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.
1It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
2Ka naʻa nau pehē, “Kae ʻikai ʻi he kātoanga, telia naʻa ai ha maveuveu ʻae kakai.”
2For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might 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 he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
4Pea naʻe ai ʻae niʻihi naʻa nau loto ʻita, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā kuo maumauʻi ai ʻae lolo?
4But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
5He naʻe faingofua ke fakatauʻaki ia ʻae tenali ʻe tolungeau tupu, pea foaki ki he masiva.” Pea nau lāunga kiate ia.
5For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against 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 do you trouble her? She has done a good work for 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.
7For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; 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. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
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.”
9Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial 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.
10Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him 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, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
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 unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may 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.
13He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher 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 wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the 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.”
15He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready 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.
16His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
17Pea ʻi he efiafi naʻa ne haʻu mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
17When it was evening he came 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.”
18As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with 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 sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “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 them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
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.”
21For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man 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.”
22As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. 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.
23He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of 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 new 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.”
25Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
26¶ Pea kuo hili ʻenau fasi hiva, naʻa nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive.
26When 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.’
27Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, 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.”
28However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe tūkia kotoa pē, ka e ʻikai te u pehē au.”
29But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
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.”
30Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this 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 he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all 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.”
32They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to 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 greatly troubled and distressed.
34Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mamahi lahi ʻaupito ʻo hangē ka mate hoku laumālie: mou tatali ʻi heni, pea leʻo.”
34He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and 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.
35He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away 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.”
36He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
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?
37He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch 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, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh 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 words.
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.
40Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t 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.
41He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, 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.”
42Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
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.
43Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the 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 he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45Pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai, pea ne ʻalu leva kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki;” pea ʻuma kiate ia.
45When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46¶ Pea naʻa nau ala honau nima kiate ia, ʻo puke ia.
46They laid their hands on him and seized 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.
47But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut 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 answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
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.”
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50Pea naʻe liʻaki ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē, ka nau feholaki.
50They all left 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:
51A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52Pea siʻaki ʻe ia ʻae tupenu, kae hola telefua ʻiate kinautolu.
52but he left the linen cloth and fled from them 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. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
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 had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of 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 council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
56He naʻe fakamoʻoni loi kiate ia ʻae tokolahi, ka naʻe ʻikai fai tatau ʻa ʻenau fakamoʻoni.
56For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
57Pea tuʻu hake ʻae niʻihi, ʻonau fakamoʻoni loi kiate ia, ʻo pehē,
57Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,
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 temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
59Ka naʻe ʻikai fai tatau foki ʻenau fakamoʻoni.
59Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
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?”
60The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify 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 he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
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.”
62Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
63Pea toki haehae ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi hono kofu, ʻo pehē, “He koeʻumaʻā mo ha kau fakamoʻoni kehe?
63The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of 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 do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy 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.
65Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
66¶ Pea ʻi he kei nofo ʻa Pita ʻi he fale ʻi lalo, ne haʻu ʻae fefine kaunanga ʻe taha ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi:
66As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
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 seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
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, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, 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.
69The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This 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 again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
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 to swear, “I don’t 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.
72The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
