1Pea naʻa nau tuku mai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe tahi, ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Kataline.
1On the other side of the sea, they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes.
2Pea kuo haʻu ia mei he vaka, pea fakafetaulaki leva kiate ia ʻae tangata mei he ngaahi faʻitoka, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli,
2As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, He was met by a man with an unclean spirit, who was coming from the tombs.
3Pea naʻe nofo pe ia ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka; pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi:
3This man had been living in the tombs and could no longer be restrained, even with chains.
4He koeʻuhi kuo liunga lahi hono haʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu mo e ngaahi ukamea fihifihi, pea kuo ne motumotuhi ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi, pea motumotu mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu: pea kuo ʻikai faʻa fakalalata ia ʻe ha taha.
4Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.
5Pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ia mo e ngaahi faʻitoka maʻuaipē, ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻo ne tangi ai, mo ne tafatafaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi maka.
5Night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he kept crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6Ka ʻi heʻene mamata mei he mamaʻo kia Sisu, naʻa ne lele ʻo hū kiate ia.
6When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
7ʻO tangi leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā au kiate koe, Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga? ʻOku ou hū tōtōaki kiate koe ʻi he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi au.”
7And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”
8(He naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata, ʻa koe ko e laumālie ʻuli.”)
8For Jesus had already declared, “Come out of this man, you unclean spirit!”
9Pea ne fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione hoku hingoa; he ʻoku mau tokolahi.”
9“What is your name?” Jesus asked. “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.”
10Pea ne kole fakamātoato kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.
10And he begged Jesus repeatedly not to send them out of that region.
11Pea naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga.
11There on the nearby hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding.
12Pea kole ʻe he kau laumālie kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ʻakimautolu ki he fanga puaka, koeʻuhi ke mau hū ki ai.”
12So the demons begged Jesus, “Send us to the pigs, so that we may enter them.”
13Pea tuku leva ʻe Sisu ke nau fai ia . Pea ʻalu atu ʻae kau laumālie ʻuli, ʻo hū ki he fanga puaka: pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, (naʻa nau toko ua afe nai;) pea melemo ʻi he tahi.
13He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.
14Pea feholaki ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻae fanga puaka, ʻo fakahā ki he kolo, pea mo e tukuʻuta. Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ange ke mamata ki he meʻa kuo fai.
14Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened.
15Pea nau haʻu kia Sisu, ʻo mamata kiate ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, ʻo ne maʻu ʻae lisione, ʻoku nofo ia, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea nau manavahē
15When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mamata ki ai , naʻa nau fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa naʻe hoko kiate ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae tēvolo, pea mo e meʻa ki he fanga puaka.
16Those who had seen it described what had happened to the demon-possessed man and also to the pigs.
17Pea nau kole leva kiate ia ke ne ʻalu ʻi honau fonua.
17And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.
18Pea kuo ʻalu ia ki vaka, pea ko ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae tēvolo ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo.
18As He was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed by the demons begged to go with Him.
19Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sisu, ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu ki ho ʻapi ki ho kāinga, mo fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻEiki maʻau, mo ʻene manavaʻofa kiate koe.”
19But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”
20Pea ne ʻalu ia, ʻo fua fakahā ʻi Tikapolisi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu maʻana: pea ofo ai kotoa pē.
20So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.
21Pea kuo toe folau ʻa Sisu ʻi he vaka ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea kātoa ai kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi: pea kuo ofi ia ki tahi.
21When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.
22Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau pule ʻoe falelotu, ko Sailosi hono hingoa; pea ʻi heʻene mamata kiate ia, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono vaʻe,
22A synagogue leader named Jairus arrived, and seeing Jesus, he fell at His feet
23ʻO ne kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻofefine siʻi ʻoku tei mate: haʻu, ʻo hili ho nima kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke moʻui ai: pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
23and pleaded with Him urgently, “My little daughter is near death. Please come and place Your hands on her, so that she will be healed and live.”
24Pea naʻa na ō mo Sisu ; pea muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻo fakaʻefihia ia.
24So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.
25Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha, naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe ʻau toto ʻiate ia,
25And a woman was there who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years.
26Pea kuo lahi ʻae meʻa kuo ne kātaki ʻi he kau faitoʻo tokolahi, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa, kae ʻāsili pe hono mahaki.
26She had borne much agony under the care of many physicians and had spent all she had, but to no avail. Instead, her condition had only grown worse.
27Kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea haʻu mo e fononga mei mui, ʻo ala ki hono kofu:
27When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.
28He kuo pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau teu ala pe ki hono kofu, te u moʻui ai.”
28For she kept saying, “If only I touch His garments, I will be healed.”
29Pea matuʻu fakafokifā pe ʻae ʻau ʻa hono toto; pea ne ongoʻi ʻi hono sino kuo fakamoʻui ia mei he mahaki ko ia.
29Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she sensed in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
30Pea kuo ʻilo loto ʻe Sisu kuo ʻalu atu ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi, pea ne tafoki ia ki he kakai, mo ne pehē, “Ko hai naʻe ala ki hoku kofu?”
30At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”
31Pea pehēange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vakai ki he tokolahi ʻoku fakaʻefi koe, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”
31His disciples answered, “You can see the crowd pressing in on You, and yet You ask, ‘Who touched Me?’”
32Pea vakai foli ʻe ia ke mamata kiate ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni.
32But He kept looking around to see who had done this.
33Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻaia kuo fai kiate ia, pea haʻu ia, ʻoku manavahē mo tetetete, ʻo tō ki lalo ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne tala kiate ia ʻae moʻoni kotoa pē.
33Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him trembling in fear, and she told Him the whole truth.
34Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie, pea ke moʻui mei hoʻo mahaki.”
34“Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be free of your affliction.”
35¶ Kae lolotonga ʻene lea, mo e haʻu ʻae niʻihi mei he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine: ko e hā ʻoku ke kei fakafiu ai ʻae ʻEiki?”
35While He was still speaking, messengers from the house of Jairus arrived and said, “Your daughter is dead; why bother the Teacher anymore?”
36Pea kuo fanongo leva ʻe Sisu ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he pule ʻoe falelotu, “ʻOua te ke manavahē, ka ke tui pe.”
36But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”
37Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke muimui ha tokotaha kiate ia, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi.
37And He did not allow anyone to accompany Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
38Pea hoko ia ki he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo mamata ki he maveuveu, mo kinautolu naʻe tangi mo tangilāulau lahi.
38When they arrived at the house of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw the commotion and the people weeping and wailing loudly.
39Pea kuo hū ia ki loto fale , mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou maveuveu, mo tangi ai? ʻOku ʻikai mate ʻae taʻahine, ka ʻoku mohe pe .”
39He went inside and asked, “Why all this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead, but asleep.”
40Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia. Pea kuo fekau ʻe ia ke nau ʻalu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea ne ʻave ʻae tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau hū ki he potu ʻoku tokoto ai ʻae taʻahine.
40And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.
41Pea ne puke ʻae nima ʻoe taʻahine, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Talita kiumi;” ʻaia ko hono ʻuhinga, “Taʻahine, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
41Taking her by the hand, Jesus said, “Talitha koum!” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”
42Pea tuʻu hake leva ʻae taʻahine, ʻo ʻeveʻeva; he kuo hongofulu ma ua hono taʻu. Pea naʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ofo lahi.
42Immediately the girl got up and began to walk around. She was twelve years old, and at once they were utterly astounded.
43Pea ne fekau mālohi kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha; mo ne fekau ke ʻatu ha meʻakai kiate ia.
43Then Jesus gave strict orders that no one should know about this, and He told them to give her something to eat.
