1Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho pea toe ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume; pea kuo ongo atu ʻoku ʻi he fale ia.
1A few days later Jesus went back to Capernaum. And when the people heard that He was home,
2Pea fakataha leva ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa hao ʻi he fale , pe ofi ki he matapā: pea malangaʻaki ʻe ia ʻae folofola kiate kinautolu.
2they gathered in such large numbers that there was no more room, not even outside the door, as Jesus spoke the word to them.
3Pea naʻe ʻomi mo kinautolu kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe mahaki tete, ʻaia naʻe fata ʻe he toko fā.
3Then a paralytic was brought to Him, carried by four men.
4Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau faʻa hao ʻo ofi kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau tatala ʻae ʻato ʻoe fale naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo haeʻi ia, naʻa nau tukutuku hifo ʻae mohenga naʻe tokoto ai ʻae mahaki tete.
4Since they were unable to get to Jesus through the crowd, they uncovered the roof above Him, made an opening, and lowered the paralytic on his mat.
5Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻenau tui, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete, “Foha, kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
5When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6Ka naʻe nofo ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻonau fifili ʻi honau loto, ʻo pehē ,
6But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts,
7“Ko e hā ʻoku lea fie ʻOtua pehē ai ʻae tangata ni? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala ka ko e ʻOtua pe?”
7“Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8Pea kuo ʻiloʻi leva ʻe Sisu ʻi hono loto ʻoku pehē ʻenau fifili ʻi honau loto, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fifili ai ʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni?
8At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.
9He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ʻae lea ʻaki ki he mahaki tete, ‘Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu?’
9“Which is easier: to say to a paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
10Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete),
10But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,
11“ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu ki ho fale.”
11“I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home.”
12Pea tuʻu hake leva ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae mohenga, pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē; ko ia ne nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo teʻeki te tau mamata ʻi ha meʻa pehē.”
12And immediately the man got up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of them all. As a result, they were all astounded and glorified God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
13Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he matātahi; pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
13Once again Jesus went out beside the sea. All the people came to Him, and He taught them there.
14Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu, naʻa ne mamata kia Livai ko e foha ʻo ʻAlefiusi, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui kiate au.” Pea tuʻu ia ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
14As He was walking along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth. “Follow Me,” He told him, and Levi got up and followed Him.
15Pea ʻi he nofo ʻa Sisu ʻi hono fale, ʻo kai, naʻe tokolahi ʻae tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau nonofo mo Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga: he naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe muimui ʻiate ia.
15While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.
16Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻoku ne kai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e hā ʻoku kai mo inu fakataha ai ia mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
16When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, ka ki he mahaki: naʻe ʻikai teu haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
17On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
18Pea naʻe faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e ākonga ʻae kau Fālesi: pea nau haʻu ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione pea mo e Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai hoʻo kau ākonga?”
18Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were often fasting. So people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t Your disciples fast like John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees?”
19Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “E faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? E ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻaukai ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane.
19Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.
20Kae hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
20But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
21“ʻOku ʻikai foki ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa: he ko e konga foʻou ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki, ʻe mafaufau ai ia pea ʻe ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
21No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will pull away from the old, and a worse tear will result.
22Pea ʻoku ʻikai utu ʻeha taha ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; ka pehē ʻe haeʻi ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea malingi ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae hina; ka ʻoku ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou.”
22And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.”
23Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, naʻe kamata toli ʻe heʻene kau ākonga ʻae fua ʻoe uite.
23One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain as they walked along.
24Pea pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e hā ʻoku nau fai ai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua?”
24So the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
25Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene tuʻutāmaki, mo fiekaia, ʻaia mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
25Jesus replied, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need?
26ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke kai ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe, pea ne ʻange foki kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
26During the high priesthood of Abiathar, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which was lawful only for the priests. And he gave some to his companions as well.”
27Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ngaohi ʻae Sāpate koeʻuhi ko e tangata, ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae tangata koeʻuhi ko e Sāpate:
27Then Jesus declared, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
28ko ia ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe Sāpate foki.”
28Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
