Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1After these things, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
1Hili eni, naʻe ai ʻae kātoanga ʻae kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema.
2Now in Jerusalem by the sheep gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, “Bethesda”, having five porches.
2Pea ʻoku ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ofi ki he matapā sipi , ʻae ano vai, ʻoku ui ʻi he lea fakaHepelū ko Peteseta, naʻe nima hono fale hala.
3In these lay a great multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water;
3Pea naʻe tatoka ai ʻae kakai mahaki tokolahi, ko e kui, mo e pipiki, mo e mamatea, ʻi he tatali ki he ngaueue ʻoe vai.
4for an angel went down at certain times into the pool and stirred up the water. Whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was healed of whatever disease he had.
4He naʻe ʻalu hifo ha ʻāngelo ki he ano ʻi ha ʻaho, ʻo fakangaueue ʻae vai: pea ko ia ʻe fuofua tuʻu ki he vai, hili hono fakangaueue, naʻe fakamoʻui ia mei hono mahaki kotoa pē.
5A certain man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.
5Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe moʻua ʻi he mahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma valu.
6When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to be made well?”
6Ka kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻene tokoto, ʻo ne ʻilo kuo fuoloa ʻene moʻua, naʻe fehuʻi ia ki ai, “Ko ho loto ke ke moʻui?”
7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I’m coming, another steps down before me.”
7Pea pehē ʻe he mahaki kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata, ʻoka fakangaueue ʻae vai, ke ne hiki au ki he ano: kae lolotonga ʻeku ʻalu, ʻoku muʻomuʻa hifo ʻiate au ha taha kehe.”
8Jesus said to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
8Pea tala ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Tuʻu hake, pea toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.”
9Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now that day was a Sabbath.
9Pea fakafokifā pe kuo moʻui ʻae tangata, ʻo ne toʻo hono mohenga, pea ʻalu pea ko e ʻaho ko ia ko e Sāpate.
10So the Jews said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat.”
10¶ Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia kuo fakamoʻui, “Ko e ʻaho Sāpate eni: ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke ke fua ho mohenga.”
11He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’ ”
11Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, ko ia pe naʻe pehē kiate au, ‘Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu.’”
12Then they asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Take up your mat and walk’ ?”
12Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi ai kiate ia, “Ko hai ʻae tangata ko ia naʻe pehē kiate koe, “Toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu?”
13But he who was healed didn’t know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.
13Pea ko ia kuo fakamoʻui naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko hai ia: he naʻe mahuʻi mei ai ʻa Sisu, he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tokolahi.
14Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you.”
14Hili ia, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fakamoʻui koe: ʻoua naʻa ke toe fai angahala, telia naʻa tō kiate koe ha kovi lahi hake.”
15The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
15Pea ʻalu ʻae tangata, ʻo fakahā ki he kakai Siu ko Sisu ia, naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia.
16For this cause the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
16Pea ko ia naʻe fakatangaʻi ai ʻa Sisu ʻe he kakai Siu, ʻonau fie tāmateʻi ia, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
17But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”
17¶ Ka naʻe talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku kei ngāue ni ʻa ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ou ngāue foki.”
18For this cause therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
18Ko ia naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae fie tāmateʻi ia ʻe he kakai Siu, he naʻe ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he maumauʻi ʻae Sāpate, ka ko ʻene pehē foki, ko e ʻOtua ko ʻene Tamai, ʻo ne fakatatau ai ia ki he ʻOtua.
19Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.
19Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he ʻAlo ha meʻa ʻe ia pē, ka ko ia ʻoku ne mamata ʻoku fai ʻe he Tamai: he ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai, ʻoku fai ia ʻe he ʻAlo foki.
20For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.
20He ʻoku ʻofa ʻae Tamai ki he ʻAlo, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai: pea te ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi ʻi he meʻa ni, ke mou ofo ai.
21For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.
21He ʻoku hangē ʻoku fokotuʻu mo fakaake ʻe he Tamai ʻae mate; ʻoku pehē ʻae fakaake ʻe he ʻAlo ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku loto ia ki ai.
22For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
22He ʻoku ʻikai fakamaau ha tokotaha ʻe he Tamai, ka kuo ne tuku ʻae fakamaau kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo:
23that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He who doesn’t honor the Son doesn’t honor the Father who sent him.
23Koeʻuhi ke fakaʻapaʻapa kotoa pē ki he ʻAlo, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Tamai. Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki he Tamai naʻa ne fekau ia.
24“Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
24“Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ʻoku fanongo ki heʻeku lea, ʻo tui kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae moʻui taʻengata, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamalaʻia ia; ka kuo hao mei he mate ki he moʻui.
25Most certainly I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God’s voice; and those who hear will live.
25Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, pea ko eni ia, ʻe fanongo ai ʻae mate ki he leʻo ʻoe ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ko kinautolu ʻe fanongo te nau moʻui.
26For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.
26He ʻoku hangē ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pē; pea ʻoku pehē pe ʻene tuku ki he ʻAlo, ke ne maʻu ʻae moʻui ʻiate ia pe;
27He also gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.
27Pea kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae pule ke ʻaʻana ʻae fai ʻoe fakamaau foki, koeʻuhi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe tangata.
28Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
28ʻOua te mou ofo ai: he ʻoku haʻu ʻae ʻaho, ʻe fanongo ai ki hono leʻo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi tanuʻanga,
29and will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.
29Pea te nau ʻalu atu; ko kinautolu naʻe fai lelei, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe moʻui; mo kinautolu naʻe fai kovi, ki he toetuʻu ʻoe fakamalaʻia.
30I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
30“ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa fai ʻeau pe ha meʻa: ʻoku hangē ko ʻeku fanongo, ʻa ʻeku fakamaau: pea ʻoku totonu ʻeku fakamaau; koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te u fai ki hoku loto ʻoʻoku, ka ko e finangalo ʻoe Tamai naʻa ne fekau au.
31“If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
31¶ “Kapau te u fakamoʻoni au ʻeau pē, tā ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ʻeku fakamoʻoni.
32It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.
32ʻOku ai ha tokotaha kehe ʻoku ne fakamoʻoniʻi au; pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ko ʻene fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻoku moʻoni.
33You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
33Naʻa mou fekau kia Sione, pea naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he moʻoni.
34But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.
34Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga kiate au ʻae fakamoʻoni mei he tangata: ka ʻoku ou lea ʻaki eni koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
35He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.
35Ko e maama vela mo ulo ia: pea naʻa mou loto ʻo fuoloa siʻi pē ke fiefia ʻi hono maama.
36But the testimony which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.
36¶ Ka ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae fakamoʻoni lahi ʻia Sione: he ko e ngaahi ngāue kuo tuku kiate au ʻe he Tamai ke u fai, ko e ngāue ko ia ʻoku ou fai, ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au, kuo fekau au ʻe he Tamai.
37The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
37Pea ko e Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au, kuo ne fakamoʻoni kiate au. Naʻe ʻikai te mou fanongo ʻi ha kuonga ki hono leʻo, pe mamata ki hono anga.
38You don’t have his word living in you, because you don’t believe him whom he sent.
38Pea ʻoku ʻikai nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻene folofola: he ko ia naʻa ne fekau, ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki ai.
39“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.
39¶ ʻOku mou kumi lahi ʻi he ngaahi tohitapu koeʻuhi ʻoku mou ʻamanaki ke maʻu ai ʻae moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au.
40Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
40Ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou loto ke haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke mou moʻui.
41I don’t receive glory from men.
41“ʻOku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae fakamālō mei he tangata.
42But I know you, that you don’t have God’s love in yourselves.
42Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
43I have come in my Father’s name, and you don’t receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.
43Kuo u haʻu au ʻi he huafa ʻo ʻeku Tamai, pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou maʻu au: kapau ʻe haʻu ha taha ʻi hono hingoa ʻoʻona, te mou maʻu ia.
44How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?
44ʻE faʻa tui fēfē ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku mou fetaliʻaki ʻae fefakamālōʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai te mou kumi ki he fakamālō mei he ʻOtua pē?
45“Don’t think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.
45ʻOua naʻa mahalo te u talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu ki he Tamai: ʻoku ai ha tokotaha ʻoku ne talatalaaki ʻakimoutolu, ʻa Mōsese, ʻoku mou falala ki ai.
46For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.
46He ka ne tui ʻakimoutolu kia Mōsese, pehē, kuo mou tui kiate au: he naʻe tohi ʻe ia kiate au.
47But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
47Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai te mou tui ki heʻene ngaahi tohi, ʻe fēfeeʻi hoʻomou tui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea?”
