Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
1ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe fuʻu tokolahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai, pea ui ʻe Sisu ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu,
2“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
2“ʻOku ou ʻofa mamahi ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaho tolu ʻenau ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai:
3If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
3Pea kapau te u fekau kenau ʻalu fiekaia ki honau ngaahi fale, te nau pongia ʻi he hala: he ko honau niʻihi kuo haʻu mei he mamaʻo.”
4His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
4Pea pehēange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻE maʻu mei fē ʻe ha taha ʻae mā ke fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ni ʻi heni ʻi he toafa?”
5He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
5Pea fehuʻi ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fiha hoʻomou foʻi mā?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻOku fitu.”
6He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
6Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nau nofo ki lalo ki he kelekele; pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi, mo tofitofi, pea ʻange ki heʻene kau ākonga ke tufaki; pea naʻa nau tufaki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
7They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
7Pea naʻa nau maʻu mo e ngaahi ika iiki: pea ne ne tāpuaki, mo fekau ke tufaki foki ia.
8They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
8Pea naʻa nau kai, ʻo mākona: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai ko e kato ʻe fitu.
9Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
9Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e toko fā afe nai: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke nau ʻalu.
10Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
10Pea heka vaka leva ia mo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo haʻu ki he potu ʻo Talamanutā.
11The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
11Pea ʻalu ange ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻo kamata fakafehuʻi kiate ia, mo kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi, ko hono ʻahiʻahiʻi.
12He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
12Pea mafulu lahi ia ʻi hono laumālie, mo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku kumi ai ʻe he toʻutangata ni ha fakaʻilonga? Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuku ha fakaʻilonga ki he toʻutangata ni.”
13He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
13Pea ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo toe heka vaka, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha.
14They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
14¶ Pea kuo ngalo ʻi he kau ākonga ke ʻave ha mā, pea ko e foʻi mā pe taha naʻe ʻi he vaka mo kinautolu.
15He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
15Pea naʻa ne naʻinaʻi kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Tokanga, pea vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi, pea mo e meʻa fakatupu ʻa Helota.”
16They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
16Pea fealēleaʻaki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau taʻeʻomi ha mā.”
17Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
17Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou alea ai, ʻi he ʻikai haʻamou mā? ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou mamata, pe ʻilo? ʻOku kei fefeka homou loto?
18Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
18ʻOku mou mata, kae ʻikai te mou mamata? Pea telinga, kae ʻikai ongoʻi? Pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou manatu?
19When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
19ʻI heʻeku tofitofi ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima ki he toko nima afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “E hongofulu ma ua.”
20“When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
20“Pea ko e fitu ki he toko fā afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻE fitu.”
21He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
21Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā nai ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo?”
22He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
22¶ Pea haʻu ia ki Petesaita: pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata kui, ʻonau kole kiate ia ke ne ala ki ai.
23He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
23Pea puke ʻe ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kui, ʻo tataki ia kituʻa mei he potu kakai; pea kuo ne ʻaʻanu ki hono mata, mo ʻai hono nima kiate ia, pea ne fehuʻi kiate ia, pe ʻoku ne mamata ki ha meʻa.
24He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
24Pea hanga hake ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou mamata ki he kakai ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi ʻakau, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva.”
25Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
25Pea hili ia, pea ne toe ʻai hono nima ki hono mata, pea fekau kiate ia ke ne hanga hake: pea naʻe moʻui ia, ʻo ne mamata totonu ki he kakai kotoa pē.
26He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
26Pea ne fekau ia ki hono fale, mo ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu ki he potu kakai, pe tala ia ki ha taha ʻi he potu kakai.”
27Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
27¶ Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, mo ʻene kau ākonga, ki he ngaahi potu kakai ʻo Sesalia ʻi Filipai: pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻi he hala, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he kakai pe ko hai au?”
28They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
28Pea nau pehēange, “Ko Sione ko e Papitaiso: kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, ko ʻIlaisiā; pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, ko e taha ʻoe kau palōfita.”
29He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
29Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu ko hai au?” Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko koe, ko e Kalaisi.”
30He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
30Pea fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ia ki ha taha.
31He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
31Pea kamata fakahā ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kātaki ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea siʻaki ia ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia, pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻe toe tuʻu.”
32He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
32Pea naʻa ne lea ʻilongofua ʻaki ʻae lea ko ia. Pea ʻave ia ʻe Pita, ʻo ne kamata valokiʻi ia.
33But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”
33Ka kuo tafoki ia ki mui, ʻo vakai ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea valokiʻi ʻe ia ʻa Pita, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ki hoku tuʻa, Sētane: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke leleiʻia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata.”
34He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
34¶ Pea kuo ui ʻe ia ʻae kakai mo ʻene kau ākonga foki, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke muimui ʻiate au, ke ne siʻaki ʻe ia ia, kae toʻo ʻene kavenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.
35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
35He ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia: ka ko ia ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au mo e ongoongolelei, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
36For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
36He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki ha tangata, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē, kae mole hono laumālie ʻoʻona?
37For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
37Pe ko e hā ʻe foaki ʻe ha tangata ke fetongi ʻaki hono laumālie?
38For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
38Ko ia ia ʻe mā kiate au, mo ʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻi he toʻutangata feʻauaki mo angahala ni, ʻe ma foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻiate ia, ʻoka haʻu ia ʻi he nāunau ʻo ʻene Tamai, mo e kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni.”
