Matthew 14
1 At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,
ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fanongo ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi ki he ongoongo ʻo Sisu.
2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him."
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Ko Sione eni ko e Papitaiso: he kuo tuʻu hake ia mei he mate; pea ko ia ʻoku hā ai ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi.”
3 For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
He naʻe puke mo haʻi ʻe Helota ʻa Sione, ʻo tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko Helotiasi, ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe.
4 For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
He naʻe pehē ʻe Sione kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua haʻo maʻu ia.”
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the crowd because they regarded him as a prophet.
Pea ʻi heʻene tokanga ke tāmateʻi ia, naʻe manavahē ia ki he kakai, he naʻa nau lau ia ko e palōfita.
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.
Ka ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamanatuʻi ai ʻae fāʻeleʻi ʻo Helota, naʻe meʻe ʻi [honau ]ʻao ʻae taʻahine ʻa Helotiasi, pea mālieʻia ai ʻa Helota.
7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
“Ko ia naʻa ne fuakava ai ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē te ne kole ki ai.”
8 And she, being prompted by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
Pea kuo tomuʻa akonekina ia ʻe heʻene faʻē, pea ne pehē, “Tuku mai ni kiate au ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻi ha ipu.”
9 And the king was grieved, but for the sake of his oaths, and of those who sat at the table with him, he commanded it to be given,
Pea mamahi ai ʻae tuʻi: ka koeʻuhi ko ʻene fuakava, mo kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻa ne fekau ke ʻange ia [kiate ia].
10 and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
Pea ne fekau ai ke tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula.
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the young woman: and she brought it to her mother.
Pea naʻe ʻomi hono ʻulu ʻi he ipu, ʻo ʻoatu ki he taʻahine: pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē.
12 Then his disciples came, and took the dead body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻave ʻae sino, mo tanu, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā kia Sisu.
13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
Pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea heka vaka ia, ʻo ʻalu mei he potu ko ia ki ha potu lala: pea fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai, pea nau hala ʻuta, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia mei he ngaahi kolo.
14 And he went out, and he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, pea ʻofa mamahi ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻenau ngaahi mahaki.
15 Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
Pea kuo efiafi ai, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e potu lala eni, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho; fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi potu kakai, ke fakatau meʻakai maʻanautolu.”
16 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
Ka naʻe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻenau ʻalu: mou ʻoatu haʻanau kai.”
17 And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e foʻi mā pe ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heni.”
18 So he said, "Bring them here to me."
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
19 Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.
Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki lalo ki he mohuku, pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻo hanga hake ki he langi, ʻo tāpuaki, mo tofitofi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea [tufaki ]ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
20 And they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, ʻo mākona: pea tānaki ʻae toenga kai, pea pito ai ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
22 And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.
Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga ke nau heka vaka, ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ke ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
23 And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
Pea kuo ne fekau ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, pea ʻalu hake tokotaha pe ia ki he moʻunga ke lotu: pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, ʻoku ne kei ʻi ai tokotaha pe.
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, battered by the waves, for the wind was against it.
Ka kuo ʻi he vaha ʻae vaka, ʻo tō mo hopo ʻi he peau: he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
25 And in the watch between three and six in the morning, he came to them, walking on the sea.
Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe leʻo ʻi he pō naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo hāʻele ʻi he [fukahi ]tahi.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with fear.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau ākonga ki heʻene hāʻele ʻi he [fukahi ]tahi, naʻa nau manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e laumālie!” Pea nau tangi kalanga ʻi he manavahē.
27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
Ka naʻe lea leva ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Fiemālie pe; he ko au pe; ʻoua te mou manavahē.”
28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."
Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kapau ko koe, fekau mai ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he vai.”
29 He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the water and went toward Jesus.
Pea ne pehē, “Haʻu.” Pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita mei he vaka, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he tahi, ke ʻalu atu kia Sisu.
30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he yelled, saying, "Lord, save me."
Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku mālohi ʻae matangi, naʻe manavahē ia; pea kamata ngalo hifo, pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, fakamoʻui au.”
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Pea mafao leva ʻae nima ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne puke ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻA koe ʻoku siʻi hoʻo tui, ko e hā ʻoku ke fakataʻetaʻetui ai?’
32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki he vaka, pea malū ʻae matangi.
33 Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."
Pea haʻu ai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he vaka, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu, naʻa nau tuʻu ki ʻuta ki he fonua ko Kenesaleti.
35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,
Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai ʻoe potu ko ia, naʻa nau fanongonongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ia, ʻo omi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki;
36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
ʻO nau kole kiate ia ke nau ala pe ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea naʻe fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ala ki ai.
