1Pea toki fakataha kiate ia ʻae kau Fālesi mo e niʻihi ʻi he kau tangata tohi, naʻe haʻu mei Selūsalema.
1And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the scribes, coming from Jerusalem.
2Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he niʻihi ʻi heʻene kau ākonga ʻoku nau kai mā ʻi he nima ʻuli, ko e pehē, ko e nima taʻefanofano, naʻa nau hanu ai.
2And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.
3He ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kakai Siu fulipē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fuofua fanofano nima, ko e tokanga ki he talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa.
3For the Pharisees, and all the Jews eat not without often washing their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients:
4Pea ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei he faianga fakatau, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau kaukau. Pea ʻoku ai mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, kuo nau maʻu ke fai, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu inu, mo e ngaahi ipu fua, mo e ngaahi ipu kapa, mo e ngaahi tokotoʻanga.
4And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to observe, the washings of cups and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of beds.
5Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻe he kau Fālesi mo e kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai ke fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻo hangē ko e talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa, ka ʻoku nau kai mā mo e nima taʻefanofano?”
5And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with common hands?
6Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Neʻineʻi fakahā ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ko e kau mālualoi, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, ‘ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu, ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
6But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, he ko e ngaahi akonaki ʻoku nau ako ʻaki, ko e ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata.’
7And in vain to they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of men.
8“He kuo mou siʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, kae maʻu ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu fua mo e ngaahi ipu inu: pea ʻoku lahi mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.
8For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to these.
9Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ha meʻa ʻe lelei ko hoʻomou liʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, ka mou fai ʻae talatupuʻa ʻamoutolu.
9And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.
10He naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē;’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻoku kape ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
10For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die.
11Ka ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻo pehē , “Ko ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe, ko e Kopano ia,”’ ʻaia ko e foaki tapu; ʻe ʻataʻatā ia .
11But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban, (which is a gift,) whatsoever is from me, shall profit thee.
12Pea ʻoku mou taʻofi haʻane toe fai ha meʻa maʻa ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē;
12And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or mother,
13ʻO fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku mou enginakiʻaki: pea ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.”
13Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.
14¶ Pea ʻi heʻene ui mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻilo.
14And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye me all, and understand.
15ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻituʻa ʻi he tangata, pea hū ki ai, te ne faʻa fakaʻuliʻi ia: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku haʻu meiate ia, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
15There is nothing from without a man that entering into him, can defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that defile a man.
16Ko e tangata ʻoku telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17Pea kuo hū ia ki he fale mei he kakai, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia ki he fakatātā.
17And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his disciples asked him the parable.
18Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “He ʻoku pehē hoʻomou taʻeʻilo foki? ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē mei tuʻa, ʻoku ʻalu ki he tangata, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakaʻuli ia ʻe ia;
18And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? understand you not that every thing from without, entering into a man cannot defile him:
19Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻalu ia ki hono loto, ka ki he kete, ʻoku fakamaʻa ai ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē, kae toki ʻalu kituʻa ʻae meʻa taʻeʻaonga?”
19Because it entereth not into his heart, but goeth into the belly, and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats?
20Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he tangata, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
20But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile a man.
21He ʻoku mei loto, mei he loto ʻoe tangata, ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e tonoʻi fefine mo e feʻauaki, mo e fakapō,
21For from within out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22Mo e kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e angahala, mo e kākā, mo e anga fakalielia, mo e mata kovi, mo e lea kovi, mo e laukau, mo e vale:
22Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23Ko e ngaahi meʻa kovi ni kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he loto, ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
23All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.
24¶ Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi ai, ʻo ʻalu ki he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, pea ne hū ki he fale, ʻo ne loto ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha: ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
24And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.
25He naʻe ongoa atu ia ki ha fefine naʻe ai ʻene taʻahine siʻi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, pea haʻu ia, ʻo tōmapeʻe ʻi hono vaʻe:
25For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
26Ko e Kiliki ʻae fefine ni, mei he puleʻanga ko Sailofinisia: pea naʻa ne kole kiate ia, ke ne kapusi kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi heʻene taʻahine.
26For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua ke tomuʻa mākona ʻae fānau: he ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, mo lī ki he fanga kulī.”
27Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.
28Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī, ʻi he lalo keinangaʻanga, ʻae momo ʻoe meʻakai ʻae fānau.”
28But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
29Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi ko e lea ni ke ke ʻalu; kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi hoʻo taʻahine.”
29And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30Pea kuo hoko ia ki hono fale, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻa e tēvolo, kae tokoto ʻene taʻahine ʻi he mohenga.
30And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
31¶ Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ia mei he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, ʻo haʻu ʻi he potu fonua ʻo Tikapolisi, ki he tahi ʻo Kāleli.
31And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
32Pea nau ʻomi kiate ia ha tokotaha naʻe tuli, pea ʻikai ke faʻa lea; pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne hilifaki hono nima ki ai.
32And they bring to him one deaf and dumb; and they besought him that he would lay his hand upon him.
33Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ia mei he kakai, ʻo ne ʻai hono tuhu ki hono telinga, pea ʻaʻanu, mo ne ala ki hono ʻelelo;
33And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:
34Pea hanga hake ia ki he langi, ʻo mafulu, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEfata,” ko e pehē ia, “Ke ava.”
34And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.
35Pea naʻe ava leva hono telinga, pea vete ʻae noʻo ʻo hono ʻelelo, pea ne lea totonu.
35And immediately his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke right.
36Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha: ka ʻi heʻene fekau lahi kiate kinautolu, ne ʻāsili ai ʻo lahi ʻenau fanongonongo ia ;
36And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it.
37Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo lelei: ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae tuli ke ongo, mo e noa ke lea.”
37And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all things well; he hath made both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
