1Pea naʻe ʻalu ia mei ai, ʻo haʻu ki hono fonua; pea muimui ʻa ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia.
1Jesus went on from there and came to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples.
2Pea hokosia ʻae ʻaho Sāpate, pea kamata ako ia ʻi he falelotu; pea ofo ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fanongo kiate ia , ʻonau pehē, “Kuo maʻu mei fē ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻae poto ko eni kuo tuku kiate ia, ʻaia kuo fai ai ʻe hono nima ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi pehē?
2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were astonished. “Where did this man get these ideas?” they asked. “What is this wisdom He has been given? And how can He perform such miracles?
3ʻIkai ko e tufunga eni, ko e tama ʻa Mele, pea ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi, mo Sose, mo Siute, mo Saimone? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ʻi heni mo kitautolu ʻa hono ngaahi tuofefine?” Pea naʻa nau tūkia ʻiate ia.
3Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.
4Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ke masiva fakaʻapaʻapa ha palōfita, ka ʻi hono fonua, mo hono kāinga, mo hono fale.”
4Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”
5Pea naʻe ʻikai te ne mafai ʻi ai ha ngāue lahi, ka naʻa ne hilifaki hono nima ki he tokosiʻi pe naʻe mahaki, ʻo ne fakamoʻui.
5So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them.
6Pea naʻe ofo ia ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻetui. Pea ʻalu fakatakamilo ia ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai, ʻo akonaki.
6And He was amazed at their unbelief. And He went around from village to village, teaching the people.
7¶ Pea ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo ne fua fekau ke nau ō, ʻo tautau toko ua, pea ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli;
7Then Jesus called the Twelve to Him and began to send them out two by two, giving them authority over unclean spirits.
8Mo fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua te nau ʻave he meʻa ʻi honau fononga, ka ko e tokotoko pe; ʻoua naʻa ʻai ha kato, pe ha mā, pe ha paʻanga ʻi he noʻo:
8He instructed them to take nothing but a staff for the journey—no bread, no bag, no money in their belts—
9Kae topuvaʻe ʻai ʻae teka; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻaki ʻae kofutuʻa ʻe ua.
9and to wear sandals, but not a second tunic.
10Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e potu ko ia te mou hū ai ki ha fale, mou nofo ai pe kaeʻoua ke mou toki ō ʻi he potu ko ia.
10And He told them, “When you enter a house, stay there until you leave that area.
11¶ Pea ko kinautolu ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻakimoutolu, pe fanongo kiate kimoutolu, ʻoka mou ka ʻalu ai, mou tūtuuʻi ʻae efu ʻi homou vaʻe, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻE kātakingofua ʻa Sotoma mo Komola ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau, ʻi he kolo ko ia.”
11If anyone will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that place, as a testimony against them.”
12Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu, ʻo malanga ke fakatomala ʻae kakai.
12So they set out and preached that the people should repent.
13Pea nau kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi, pea tākai ʻaki ʻae lolo, mo fakamoʻui ʻae tokolahi naʻe mahaki.
13They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
14Pea fanongo ki ai ʻae tuʻi ko Helota; (he kuo mafola atu hono hingoa;) pea pehē ʻe ia, Kuo toe tuʻu mei he mate ʻa Sione ko e Papitaiso, pea ko ia ʻoku hā ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi meiate ia.
14Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko ʻIlaisiā ia.” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e palōfita ia, pe ʻoku hangē ko ha taha ʻi he kau palōfita.”
15Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.”
16Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa Helota, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Sione ia, ʻaia ne u tutuʻu hono ʻulu: kuo toe tuʻu ia mei he mate.”
16But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead!”
17He naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helota, ke puke ʻa Sione, ʻo haʻi ia ʻi he fale fakapōpula, ko e meʻa ia Helotiasi, ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe: he kuo na fakamaʻu mo ia.
17For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound and imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, whom Herod had married.
18He naʻe pehē ʻe Sione kia Helota, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua haʻo maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻo ho tokoua.”
18For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”
19Ko ia naʻe ʻita ʻa Helotiasi kiate ia, ʻo ne loto ke tāmateʻi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne mafai ia :
19So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable,
20He naʻe manavahē ʻa Helota kia Sione, ko ʻene ʻilo ko e tangata angatonu ia, mo māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻa ne maluʻi ia; pea ʻi heʻene fanongo kiate ia, naʻa ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, mo ne fanongo ʻi he fiefia.
20because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man. When he heard John’s words, he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.
21Pea naʻe hokosia ʻae ʻaho lelei, ko e ʻaho fakamanatu ki he fanauʻi ʻo Helota, pea ne fai ai ʻae kātoanga mā ʻa hono ngaahi houʻeiki, mo e ngaahi ʻeikitau, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻo Kāleli;
21On Herod’s birthday, her opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22Pea kuo haʻu ki ai ʻae taʻahine ʻae Helotiasi ko ia, ʻo meʻe, pea mālieʻia ai ʻa Helota mo kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo, pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he taʻahine, “Kole mai kiate au ʻaia ʻoku ke loto ki ai, pea te u foaki ia kiate koe.”
22When the daughter of Herodias came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
23Pea ne fuakava kiate ia, “Ka ʻilonga ha meʻa te ke kole kiate au, te u foaki ia kiate koe, ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeua mālie ʻo hoku puleʻanga.”
23And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”
24Pea ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne pehē ki heʻene faʻē, “Ko e hā te u kole?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko e ʻulu ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso.”
24Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”
25Pea toe haʻu leva ia ki he tuʻi, pea ne kole, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku loto ke ke foaki mai kiate au ʻanaiange, ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso, ʻi ha ipu.”
25At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
26Pea mamahi lahi ʻae tuʻi; ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fuakava, pea koeʻuhi ko kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo ia, naʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fakafisi kiate ia.
26The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27Pea kouna leva ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tangata tāmate, ʻo fekau ke ʻomi hono ʻulu: pea ʻalu ia, ʻo tutuʻu hono ʻulu ʻi he fale fakapōpula,
27So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
28ʻo ne ʻomi hono ʻulu ʻi ha ipu, mo ʻatu ki he taʻahine: pea ʻange ia ʻe he taʻahine ki heʻene faʻē.
28The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
29Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, naʻa nau omi, ʻo ʻave hono sino ʻo fakatokoto ia ʻi he fonualoto.
29When John’s disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
30Pea fakataha ʻae kau ʻaposetolo kia Sisu, ʻonau fakamatala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau fai, mo ia kuo nau ako ʻaki.
30Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.
31Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Mou omi ʻakimoutolu pe ki ha potu lala, ʻo mālōlō siʻi:” he naʻe tokolahi naʻe faʻa feʻaluʻaki, pea naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻataʻatā ke fai ʻenau kai.
31And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.
32Pea nau ō fakalilolilo ʻi he vaka ki he potu lala.
32So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.
33Pea mamata ʻae kakai ki heʻenau ʻalu, pea ʻilo ia ʻe he tokolahi, pea nau feleleʻi ʻuta ki ai mei he kolo kotoa pē, ʻo muʻomuʻa kiate kinautolu, pea fakataha ai kiate ia.
33But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.
34Pea kuo tuʻu ki ʻuta ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne vakai kuo tokolahi ʻae kakai, naʻe manavaʻofa ia kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi kuo nau tatau mo e fanga sipi taʻehatauhi: pea ne kamata ako kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.
34When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
35Pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e potu lala eni, pea kuo teitei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho:
35By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.
36fekau ke nau ō, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻalu ki he tukuʻuta, mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku tuʻu takatakai, ke nau fakatau maʻanautolu ʻae mā: he ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai.”
36Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37¶ Pea lea ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻatu ha meʻa ke nau kai.” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, Te mau ō, ʻo fakatau mā ʻaki ʻae tenali ʻe uangeau, mo ʻatu ke nau kai?”
37But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”
38Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e foʻi mā ʻe fiha ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu? ʻAlu ʻo vakai.” Pea kuo nau ʻilo, pea nau pehē, “ʻOku nima, mo e ika ʻe ua.”
38“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke nau pule ke nofo kotoa pē ki lalo ki he mohuku maʻuiʻui, ʻo tautau tokolahi.
39Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
40Pea naʻa nau nofo ki lalo ʻo fakaʻotu, ʻo tautau toko teau, mo tautau toko nimangofulu.
40So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41Pea kuo toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima mo e ika ʻe ua, pea hanga hake ia ki he langi, ʻo ne tāpuaki, mo ne tofitofi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, ʻo ʻange ki heʻene kau ākonga ke tufaki kiate kinautolu; pea ne tufaki mo e ika ʻe ua kiate kinautolu kātoa pe.
41Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.
42Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, ʻo mākona.
42They all ate and were satisfied,
43Pea nau ʻave ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua kuo pito ʻi he toenga kai, mo e ika.
43and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai ʻi he ngaahi foʻi mā, ko e tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai.
44And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.
45Pea pule leva ʻe ia ke heka ki vaka ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he potu ʻe taha ki Petesaita, kae fekau ʻe ia ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
45Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to Bethsaida, while He dismissed the crowd.
46Pea kuo fekau atu ʻakinautolu, naʻe ʻalu ia ki he moʻunga ke lotu ai.
46After bidding them farewell, He went up on the mountain to pray.
47Pea kuo hoko ʻae efiafi, kuo ʻi he vaha ʻae vaka, kae ʻi ʻuta tokotaha pe ia.
47When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and Jesus was alone on land.
48Pea mamata ia ʻoku nau ongosia ʻi he tau ʻaʻalo; he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi kiate kinautolu: pea kuo ofi hono fā ʻoe leʻo ʻoe pō, pea ʻalu ange ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne hāʻele ia ʻi he fukahi tahi , pea hangē ka mole pe ia ʻiate kinautolu.
48He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,
49Ka ʻi heʻenau mamata ʻoku hāʻele ia ʻi he fukahi vai, naʻa nau mahalo ko e laumālie ia, ʻonau kalanga ai:
49but when they saw Him walking on the sea, they cried out, thinking He was a ghost—
50He naʻa nau mamata kotoa pē kiate ia, pea nau ilifia. Pea leaange leva ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou fiemālie: he ko au; pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē.”
50for they all saw Him and were terrified. But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
51Pea ʻalu hake ia kiate kinautolu ki vaka; pea malu leva ʻae matangi: pea fakatumutumu lahi fakamanavahē ʻakinautolu ʻo taʻefaʻalaua ʻi honau loto, mo ofo ai.
51Then He climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And the disciples were utterly astounded,
52He naʻe ʻikai te nau manatu ki he ngaahi foʻi mā: he kuo fefeka honau loto.
52for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts had been hardened.
53¶ Pea kuo nau hoko atu, ʻonau aʻu ki he fonua ko Kenesaleti, pea tau ki ʻuta.
53When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and moored the boat.
54Pea kuo nau haʻu mei he vaka, pea ʻilo leva ia ʻekinautolu.
54As soon as they got out of the boat, the people recognized Jesus
55Pea nau feleleʻi ʻi he potu fonua kotoa ko ia mo nau fata fano pe ʻi he ngaahi mohenga ʻakinautolu naʻe mahaki, ki he potu naʻa nau fanongo ʻoku ʻi ai ia.
55and ran through that whole region, carrying the sick on mats to wherever they heard He was.
56Pea naʻe ʻilonga haʻa ne ʻalu ki he ngaahi potu kakai, pe ki he ngaahi kolo, pe ki he tukuʻuta, naʻa nau fakatokoto ʻae mahaki ʻi he ngaahi hala, pea nau kole kiate ia ke nau ala ki he kapa pe ʻo hono kofu: pea ʻilonga ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ala ki ai, naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
56And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.
