Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
1Pea naʻe tataki ʻa Sisu ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻe he tēvolo.
2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
2Pea hili ʻene ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu, naʻe toki fiekaia ia.
3The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
3Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae ʻahiʻahi kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fekau ki he ngaahi maka ni ke liliu ko e mā.”
4But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”
4Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he mā pe, ka ʻi he folofola kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he ʻOtua.’”
5Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
5Pea toki ʻohake ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he kolo tapu, ʻo tuku ia ki he tuʻa falelotu lahi,
6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
6ʻO ne pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fakato koe ki lalo: he kuo tohi, ‘ʻE fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngelo ke nau vakai koe: pea ʻe hapahapai koe, telia naʻa touʻia ho vaʻe ʻi he maka.’”
7Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”
7Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kuo tohi foki, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke ʻahiʻahi ki he ʻEiki ko ho ʻOtua.’”
8Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
8Pea toe ʻohake ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he moʻunga māʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, mo honau lelei;
9He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
9ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Te u ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē moʻou, ʻo kapau te ke fakatōmapeʻe ʻo hū kiate au.”
10Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
10Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻi heni, Sētane: he kuo tohi, ‘Ke ke hū ki he ʻEiki ko ho ʻOtua, pea ko ia pe te ke tauhi.’”
11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
11Pea toki ʻalu ʻae tēvolo ʻiate ia, pea ʻiloange, kuo haʻu ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻo tauhi ia.
12Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
12¶ Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻa Sisu kuo tuku ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula, naʻe ʻalu ia ki Kaleli;
13Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
13Pea mahuʻi ia mei Nāsaleti, pea ʻalu ʻo nofo ʻi Kapaneume, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he matātahi, ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻo Sepulone mo Nafitalai:
14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
14Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē,
15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
15“Ko e fonua ʻo Sepulone, mo e fonua ʻo Nafitalai, ʻi he potu ki tahi, ʻituʻa Sioatani, ko Kaleli ʻoe Senitaile,
16the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
16Ko e kakai naʻe nofo ʻi he poʻuli, kuo mamata ki he maama lahi; pea kuo tupu hake ʻae maama kiate kinautolu naʻe nofo ʻi he teleʻa mo e ʻata ʻoe mate.”
17From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
17¶ Pea naʻe fua malanga ʻa Sisu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻo pehē, “Mou fakatomala, he ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe langi.”
18Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
18¶ Pea ʻi he hāʻele ʻa Sisu ʻo ofi ki he tahi ʻo Kaleli, naʻe mamata ia ki he ongo kāinga, ko Saimone naʻe ui ko Pita, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, ʻoku na lafo kupenga ki tahi: he ko e ongo toutai ika ʻakinaua.
19He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
19Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Muimui ʻiate au, pea te u ngaohi ʻakimoua ko e toutai tangata.”
20They immediately left their nets and followed him.
20Pea naʻa na liʻaki leva hona kupenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
21Pea ʻalu ia mei ai, pea ne mamata ki he ongo kāinga kehe, ko Semisi ko e foha ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, ʻi he vaka mo ʻena tamai ko Sepeti, ʻo pena honau kupenga; pea ne ui ʻakinaua.
22They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
22Pea naʻa na liʻaki leva ʻae vaka mo ʻena tamai, ka na muimui ʻiate ia.
23Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
23¶ Pea ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kaleli, ʻo akonaki ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu, pea malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kehekehe kotoa pē, mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he kakai.
24The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
24Pea mafola atu hono ongoongo ʻi Silia kotoa pē: pea nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae kakai mahaki kotoa pē, naʻe tuʻia ʻi he mahaki kehekehe mo e ngaahi feinga mamahi, mo e niʻihi naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae ngaahi tēvolo, mo kinautolu naʻe vale, mo kinautolu naʻe mahaki tete; pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
25Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
25Pea naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai lahi ʻaupito mei Kaleli, mo Tikapolusi, mo Selūsalema, mo Siutea, pea mo e kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
