King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku tutuʻu ʻi heni, ʻe ʻikai te nau kamata ʻae mate, kaeʻoua ke nau mamata ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hoko mai mo e mālohi.”
1And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
2¶ Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ono, pea ʻave ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, ko kinautolu pe, ʻo ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki he moʻunga māʻolunga: pea naʻe liliu ia ʻi honau ʻao.
2¶ And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3Pea fetapatapaki hono kofu, ʻo mātuʻaki hinehina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tufunga fō tupenu ʻi māmani ʻe faʻa fakahinehina ke pehē.
3And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4Pea hā ai kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo Mōsese; pea nau alea mo Sisu.
4And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehē kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea tuku ke mau ngaohi ha fale ʻe tolu: ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
5And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6He naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻoku ne leaʻaki; he naʻa nau ilifia lahi.
6For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7Pea naʻe fakamaluʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao: pea ongo mai mei he ʻao ʻae leʻo ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni: fanongo kiate ia.”
7And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8Pea fakafokifā pe, kuo nau fesiosiofaki, pea ʻikai kenau toe ʻilo ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe mo kinautolu.
8And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo nau mamata ki ai, kaeʻoua ke toetuʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata mei he pekia.
9And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
10Pea naʻa nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae lea ko ia, ʻonau fefehuʻiʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe toetuʻu mei he pekia.”
10And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
11¶ Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata tohi, ʻe tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā?”
11¶ And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea hangē ko ia kuo tohi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe kātaki foki ʻe ia ʻae meʻa lahi, pea manukia ia.”
12And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo haʻu moʻoni ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea kuo nau fai kiate ia ʻenau faʻiteliha.”
13But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14¶ Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he kau ākonga, pea ne mamata ki he fuʻu kakai ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu, mo e kau tangata tohi ʻoku kikihi mo kinautolu.
14¶ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15Pea kuo mamata leva ʻae kakai fulipē kiate ia, pea nau ofo lahi, ʻonau feleleʻi mo fetapa kiate ia.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16Pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki he kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakikihi ai mo kinautolu?”
16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17Pea lea ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻomi kiate koe hoku foha, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie noa:
17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ne puke ai ia, ʻoku ne haʻaki ia; pea koā ia, mo fengaiʻitaki hono nifo, pea ʻoku ne fakaʻaʻau ʻo vaivai: pea ne u lea ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke nau kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.”
18And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui! ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe tau nonofo? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku kātaki ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20Pea nau ʻomi ia kiate ia; pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea haʻaki leva ia ʻe he laumālie; pea tō ia ki he kelekele, mo mokofisi pea Koa hono ngutu .
20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21Pea fehuʻi ia ki heʻene tamai, “Kuo fēfē hono fuoloa talu ʻene hoko eni kiate ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talu ʻene tamasiʻi.”
21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22Pea kuo liunga lahi ʻae lī ia ki he afi, pea mo e vai, ke tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau te ke faʻa fai ha meʻa, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate kimautolu, ʻo tokoni ʻakimautolu.
22And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ke faʻa tui, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku tui.”
23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24Pea tangi loʻimata leva ʻae tamai ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui; ke ke tokoniʻi au telia ʻeku taʻetui.”
24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ʻoku feleleʻi mai ʻae kakai ʻo fakataha, pea ne tautea ʻae laumālie ʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe, ko e laumālie noa mo tuli, ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe, haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe hū ki ai.”
25When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26Pea tangi ʻae laumālie , ʻo ne haʻaki ia ʻo lahi, pea haʻu kituʻa: pea naʻe tatau ʻae tangata mo ha taha mate; ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe he tokolahi, “Kuo mate ia.”
26And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27Ka naʻe puke ia ʻe Sisu ʻi hono nima, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; pea ne tuʻu hake.
27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28Pea kuo hū ia ki fale, pea fehuʻi fakafufū ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai haʻu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ni ʻi ha meʻa, kae ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”
29And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai, ʻonau ʻalu ʻi Kāleli; pea naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.
30¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it .
31He naʻe akonakiʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “E tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fakapoongi ia; pea hili hono fakapoongi, ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
31For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
32Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ko ia, pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia.
32But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33¶ Pea haʻu ia ki Kapaneume: pea fehuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he fale, “Ko e hā ia naʻa mou fakakikihi ai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he hala?”
33¶ And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
34Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pē: he naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻe lahi hake.
34But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35Pea nofo hifo ia, ʻo ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku holi ha tangata ke muʻomuʻa, ʻe ki mui ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē.”
35And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36Pea toʻo ʻe ia ha tamasiʻi siʻi ʻo ne tuku ia ki honau haʻohaʻonga: pea kuo fua hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
36And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37“Ko ia ia te ne maʻu ha tamasiʻi pehē ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻoku ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ia te ne maʻu au, ʻoku ʻikai ko au pe ʻoku ne maʻu, ka ko ia ne ne fekau au.”
37Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
38¶ Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata ki he tokotaha ʻoku kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi ho huafa, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ia kiate kitautolu: pea naʻa mau taʻofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui kiate kitautolu.”
38¶ And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne fai ha meʻa mana ʻi hoku huafa, ʻe faʻa lea kovi noa pe kiate au.
39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40He ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku kau taha ia mo kitautolu.
40For he that is not against us is on our part.
41He ko ia ʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ha vai ke inu ʻi hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.
41For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42“Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe lelei hake kiate ia ʻo ka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lī ia ki he moana.
42And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho nima, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke nima mutu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae nima ʻe ua, kae ʻalu ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi;
43And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44ʻAia ‘ʻOku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
44Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻeho vaʻe, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke ketu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae vaʻe ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi;
45And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.
46Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho mata, kapeʻi ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua mo e mata pe taha, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae mata ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi ʻo heli;
47And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48ʻAia ‘ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49“He koeʻuhi ʻe fakamāsima taki taha kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ʻe fakamāsima ʻaki ʻae feilaulau kotoa pē ʻae māsima.
49For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50“ʻOku lelei ʻae māsima: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, temou toe fakakona fēfeeʻi ia? “Maʻu pe ʻae māsima, kiate kimoutolu, pea mou melino pe ʻakimoutolu.”
50Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
