1Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
1Pea pehē, kuo hili ia, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻo malanga mo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua,
2and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
2Pea mo e kau fefine naʻe fakamoʻui mei he kau laumālie kovi, mo e ngaahi mahaki, ko Mele ʻoku ui ko Makitaline, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tēvolo ʻe toko fitu,
3and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
3Mo Sioana ko e uaifi ʻo Kusa ko e tauhi koloa ʻo Helota, mo Susana, mo e tokolahi kehe, naʻa nau tauhi ʻaki ia ʻenau koloa.
4When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
4¶ Pea kuo fakataha mai ʻae fuʻu kakai, kuo haʻu mei he kolo kotoa pē kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he fakatātā:
5“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
5“Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi ʻene tenga; pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he veʻe hala: pea malaki hifo ia, pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.
6Some seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
6Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he maka; pea kuo toki tupu hake ia, pea mae leva , koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai viviku ia.
7Some fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
7Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he ʻakau talatala; pea tupu hake mo ia ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo kāsia ai ia.
8Some fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
8Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, ʻo tupu hake, pea tupu ai ʻae fua ʻe teau.” Pea kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea kalanga ia, “Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga. Ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
9Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
9Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fakatātā ni?”
10He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
10Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo tuku ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: ka ki he kakai kehe ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; koeʻuhi kenau ʻā ka ʻe ʻikai mamata, pea fanongo ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo.
11“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
11“Pea ko e fakatātā eni: Ko e tenga ko e folofola ia ʻae ʻOtua.
12Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
12Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he veʻe hala, ʻoku nau fanongo; pea toki haʻu ʻae tēvolo, ʻo ne toʻo atu ʻae folofola ʻi honau loto, telia naʻa nau tui pea moʻui ai.
13Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
13Ko kinautolu eni ʻi he maka, ʻaia ʻoku fanongo, pea maʻu ʻae folofola ʻi he fiefia; ka ʻoku ʻikai hanau aka, pea ʻoku nau tui fuoloa siʻi pe, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻoku nau hinga ai.
14What fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
14Pea ko ia naʻe mokulu ki he ʻakau talatala, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku fanongo pea ʻalu atu, ka ko e tokanga mamahi mo e koloa mo e fiefia ʻi māmani, ʻoku kāsia ai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha fua ke haohaoa.
15Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
15Ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kelekele moʻui, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola, ʻo maʻu ia ki he loto totonu mo lelei, pea fakatupu ʻae fua ʻi he fakakukafi.
16“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
16¶ “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata te ne tutu ʻae maama, ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae ipu, pe tuku ia ki he lalo mohenga; kae fokotuʻu ia ki ha tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻi ai .
17For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
17He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lilo, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa pe taʻemafola kituʻa.
18Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
18Ko ia mou tokanga ki hoʻomou fanongo: he ko ia ʻoku maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mahalo kuo ne maʻu.”
19His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
19¶ Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻa ʻene faʻē mo hono kāinga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai.
20Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
20Pea naʻe fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga ʻoku tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ko ʻenau holi ke mamata kiate koe.”
21But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
21Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo fai ki ai.”
22Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
22¶ Pea pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe heka vaka ia mo ʻene kau ākonga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha. Pea naʻa nau tuku atu.”
23But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
23Ka ʻi heʻenau folau naʻe mohe ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ki he tahi ʻae taufa lahi: pea ngotofuʻu ʻae vaka , pea nau tuʻutāmaki ai.
24They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
24Pea naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki, kuo tau mate.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e hou ʻae tahi; pea tuku ia, ʻo tofukī.
25He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
25Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kofaʻā hoʻomou tui?” Ka naʻe manavahē mo ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai nai ʻae tangata ni! He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ki he matangi mo e tahi, pea ʻoku talangofua ia kiate ia.”
26Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
26¶ Pea naʻa nau tau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Katala, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Kāleli.
27When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
27Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki ʻuta, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha mei he kolo, naʻe fuoloa ʻae ulusino ʻiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻe ʻikai ke vala, pe nofo fale, ka ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka.
28When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
28Pea mamata ia kia Sisu, pea kalanga, mo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo tangi leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sisu, ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga, ko e hā au kiate koe? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua ʻe fakamamahiʻi au.”
29For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
29(He kuo fekau ʻe ia ki he laumālie ʻuli ke haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata. He kuo liunga lahi hono puke ia: pea naʻe maʻu ia ʻi hono haʻisia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu; kae motuhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi haʻi, pea tuli ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he toafa.)
30Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
30Pea fehuʻi ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione:” koeʻuhi kuo hū kiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi.
31They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss.
31Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia, ke ʻoua te ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻalu atu ki he loloto.
32Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
32Pea naʻe ai ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga ʻi he moʻunga: pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne tuku ke nau hū ki ai. Pea ne tukuange ia.
33The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
33Pea ʻalu atu leva ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he tangata, ʻonau hū ki he fanga puaka; pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, ʻo melemo ai.
34When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
34Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhimanu ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea nau feholaki, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻi he kolo mo e tukuʻuta.
35People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
35Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke vakai pe ko e hā kuo fai, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu, pea ʻilo ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea naʻa nau manavahē ai.
36Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
36Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe mamata ki ai , naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngāue kuo moʻui ai ia, ʻaia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
37All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
37¶ Pea toki kole ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Katala ke ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo nau pukea ʻi he ilifia lahi: pea heka ia ki vaka, ʻo toe liu mai.
38But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
38Pea ko e tangata naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻa ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo mo ia: ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ia, ʻo ne pehē,
39“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
39“Toe ʻalu koe ki ho fale, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ongoongoa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu kiate ia.
40When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
40¶ Pea pehē, kuo foki ange ʻa Sisu, naʻe toe maʻu fiefia ia ʻe he kakai: he naʻa nau tatali kotoa pē kiate ia.
41Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
41Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ko Sailosi hono hingoa, ko e pule ia ʻi he falelotu; pea ne fakatōmapeʻe ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo kole kiate ia ke haʻu ki hono fale:
42for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
42He kuo taha pe hono ʻofefine, pea kuo hongofulu ma ua nai hono taʻu pea kuo tei mate ia. Ka ʻi heʻene ʻalu naʻe fakaʻefi ia ʻe he kakai.
43A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
43¶ Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau ʻoe toto, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ki he kau faitoʻo, ka naʻe ʻikai ke moʻui ia ʻi ha taha,
44came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
44Naʻe haʻu ia ki hono tuʻa, ʻo ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea matuʻu leva ʻae ʻau ʻo hono toto.
45Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ”
45Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?” Pea kuo nau ʻikai kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe Pita mo kinautolu naʻa nau ʻiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku fakaʻefi mo kāpui koe ʻe he kakai, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”
46But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
46Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “Kuo ala ha taha kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kuo ʻalu ʻae mālohi ʻiate au.”
47When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
47Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai lilo ia, pea haʻu tetetete ia, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene ala kiate ia, pea mo ʻene moʻui ai leva.
48He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
48Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻo fiemālie.”
49While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
49¶ Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tokotaha mei he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine; ʻoua naʻa fakafiuʻi ʻae ʻEiki.”
50But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
50Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea lea ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOua te ke manavahē: ka ke tui pe, pea ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”
51When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
51Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke hū ki ai ha taha, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, pea mo e tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine.
52All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
52Pea naʻa nau tangi mo tangilāulau kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko ia: ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOua ʻe tangi; he ʻoku ʻikai mate ia, ka ʻoku mohe pe .”
53They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
53Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia, ko ʻenau ʻilo kuo mate ia.
54But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
54Pea ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea puke hono nima, ʻo ne ui, ʻo pehē, “Taʻahine, tuʻu hake.”
55Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
55Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa hono laumālie, pea tuʻu hake leva ia: pea ne fekau ke ʻatu haʻane meʻakai.
56Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
56Pea ofo ai ʻa ʻene mātuʻa: ka naʻe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinaua ke ʻoua naʻa na fakahā ki ha taha ʻaia kuo fai.
