Matthew 9
1 And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Pea naʻe heka vaka ia, ʻo folau atu, ʻo haʻu ki hono kolo.
2 And look, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."
Pea vakai, naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata naʻe mahaki tete, ʻoku tokoto ʻi he mohenga: pea mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻenau tui, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete; “Foha, ke ke fiemālie; kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
3 And look, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."
Pea vakai, kuo pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi ʻi honau loto, “ʻOku lea fie ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni.”
4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou mahalo kovi ai ʻi homou loto?
5 For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
He ʻoku faingofua ʻae fē, ke lea, ‘Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻeveʻeva?’
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."
Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo kuo ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala, (pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete, ) “Tuʻu hake, toʻo ho mohenga, ʻo ʻalu ki ho fale.”
7 And he arose and departed to his house.
Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale.
8 Now when the crowds saw it, they were afraid and glorified God who had given such authority to men.
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kakai, naʻa nau ofo, ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne tuku ʻae mālohi pehē ki he tangata.
9 And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu mei ai, naʻa ne mamata ki he tangata ko Mātiu hono hingoa, ʻoku nofo ʻi he tukuhauʻanga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
10 And it happened as he sat in the house, look, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.
Pea kuo nofo ʻa Sisu ʻi he fale ke kai, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi ʻoe tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, ʻonau nonofo mo ia mo ʻene kau ākonga.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
Pea kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, pea nau pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e hā ʻoku kai fakataha ai homou ʻEiki mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
12 When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, ka ki he mahaki.
13 But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
Ka mou ʻalu ʻo kumi ki hono ʻuhinga ʻoe [lea ni], ‘ʻOku ou loto ki he angaʻofa, kae ʻikai ki he feilaulau:’ he naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ki he fakatomala.”
14 Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"
Pea toki haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mau faʻa ʻaukai ai mo e kau Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga?”
15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE faʻa tangi ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻoku kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
16 And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa, he ko ia ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki ʻoku mafaufau ai ʻae kofu, pea ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine pours out, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
ʻOku ʻikai foki ʻutu ʻe he kakai ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina motuʻa: ka pehē, ʻe mahaehae ʻae hina, pea tafe kituʻa ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina: ka ʻoku nau ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou, pea tolonga ai pe fakatouʻosi.”
18 While he told these things to them, look, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."
Pea lolotonga ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kinautolu, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae pule ʻe taha, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻofefine kuo mate ni: ka ke haʻu ʻo hilifaki ho nima kiate ia, pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
19 And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Sisu, pea mo ʻene kau ākonga ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
20 And look, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
Pea vakai, ko e fefine naʻe mahaki ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻi he ʻau ʻae toto, naʻe haʻu ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, pea ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu:
21 for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."
He naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻi hono loto, “Kapau te u faʻa ala ki hono kofu pe, te u moʻui ai.”
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
Pea tafoki ki mui ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata kiate ia, pea ne pehē, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie; kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui.” Pea fakamoʻui ʻae fefine talu mei he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,
Pea kuo hū ʻa Sisu ki he fale ʻoe pule, ʻo mamata ki he kau ifi fangufangu, mo e kakai ʻoku tangilāulau,
24 he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at him.
pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou tutuku: he ʻoku ʻikai mate ʻae taʻahine, ka ʻoku mohe.” Pea naʻa nau kata manukiʻi ia.
25 But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Pea kuo tuku atu ʻae kakai, pea hū ange ia, pea puke ʻe ia hono nima, pea tuʻu hake ʻae taʻahine.
26 And the report of this went out into all that land.
Pea mafola atu hono ongoongo ki he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
27 And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David."
Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Sisu mei ai, naʻe muimui ʻiate ia ʻae ongo tangata kui, ʻo na tangi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻAlo ʻo Tevita, ʻaloʻofa mai kiate kimaua.”
28 And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."
Pea kuo hū ia ki he fale, pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae ongo tangata kui: pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “ʻOku mo tui ʻoku ou mafai ʻa eni?” Pea na talaange kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki.”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."
Pea ala ia ki hona mata, mo ne pehē, “Ke hoko kiate kimoua ʻo hangē ko hoʻomo tui.”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this."
Pea ʻā ai hona mata; pea fekau mālohi ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.”
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Ka kuo na ō, pea na ongoongo atu ia ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
32 And as they went out, look, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu atu, vakai, ʻoku nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata noa ʻoku ʻulusino ai ʻae tēvolo.
33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds were amazed, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Pea kuo kapusi atu ʻae tēvolo, pea lea ai ʻae noa: pea ofo ʻae kakai, ʻonau pehē, “[Talu mei muʻa ]naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ʻi ʻIsileli ha meʻa pehē.”
34 But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi, “ʻOku kapusi ʻe ia ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.
Pea naʻe fononga fano ʻa Sisu ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē mo e potu kakai, ʻo akonaki ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga, pea fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki kotoa pē mo e hangatāmaki kotoa pē ʻoe kakai.
36 But when he saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ki he kakai, naʻe ʻofa mamahi ia kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi naʻa nau māfasia pea tukuhāusia, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi taʻehanautauhi.
37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Pea toki pehē ai ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi ʻae taʻu, ka ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻae kau ngāue;
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."
Ko ia mou lotu ki he ʻEiki ʻoe taʻu, koeʻuhi ke ne fekau atu ʻae kau ngāue ki heʻene taʻu.”
