King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea toki fakataha kiate ia ʻae kau Fālesi mo e niʻihi ʻi he kau tangata tohi, naʻe haʻu mei Selūsalema.
1Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came 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 saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, 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, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
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, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
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?”
5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen 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.
6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied 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.’
7Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments 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 laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
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 unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye 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, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
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 ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free .
12Pea ʻoku mou taʻofi haʻane toe fai ha meʻa maʻa ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē;
12And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13ʻO fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku mou enginakiʻaki: pea ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.”
13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14¶ Pea ʻi heʻene ui mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻilo.
14¶ And when he had called all the people unto him , he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you , 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 out of him, those are they that defile the 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 entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning 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 unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it 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 into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he tangata, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
20And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the 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 the 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.
24¶ And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it : but 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 certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell 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.
26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; 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.”
27But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto 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.”
28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
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 unto 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 to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
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.
31¶ And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto 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 unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put 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 he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and 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 sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35Pea naʻe ava leva hono telinga, pea vete ʻae noʻo ʻo hono ʻelelo, pea ne lea totonu.
35And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
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 they published 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 were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
