Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
Pea kuo ʻalu hifo ʻa Sisu mei he moʻunga, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi.
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
Pea ʻiloange, kuo haʻu ʻae tangata kilia ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kapau ko ho finangalo, ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
Pea mafao atu ʻe Sisu ʻa hono nima, ʻo ala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku loto ia; ke ke maʻa koe.” Pea fakamaʻa leva hono kilia.
4 and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa ke tala ia ki ha tokotaha; ka ke ʻalu, ʻo fakahā koe ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ʻoatu ʻae meʻaʻofa naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
Pea kuo hoko ʻa Sisu ki Kapaneume, naʻe haʻu kiate ia ha ʻeikitau, ʻo kole kiate ia,
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
ʻO ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku tokoto ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ʻi ʻapi ʻoku mahaki ʻi he mahaki tete, pea mamahi lahi.”
7 ‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Te u ʻalu atu ʻo fakamoʻui ia.”
8 ‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
Pea lea ʻae ʻeikitau, ʻo pehēange, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke ke hū ki hoku fale: kae fai pe haʻo lea, pea ʻe moʻui ai ʻeku tamaioʻeiki.
9 For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’
He ko e tangata puleʻia au, ka ʻoku ai ʻae kautau ʻoku ou puleʻi: pea ʻoku ou pehē ki ha taha, ‘ʻAlu,’ pea ʻalu ia; pea ki ha taha, ‘Haʻu,’ pea haʻu ia; pea ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ‘Fai eni,’ pea ʻoku ne fai ia.”
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ofo ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu naʻe muimui mai, “ʻOku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻa mo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ai ha tui ʻe pehē ni hono lahi.
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Pea ʻoku ou tala ʻatu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE haʻu ʻae tokolahi mei he potu hahake mo e potu lulunga, ʻonau nonofo mo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ʻi he puleʻanga ʻoe langi.
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
Ka ko e fānau ʻoe puleʻanga ʻe kapusi kituaʻā ki he fakapoʻuli: pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻoe nifo.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu ki he ʻeikitau, “Ke ke ʻalu, pea ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo tui.” Pea naʻe moʻui ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
Pea kuo hū ʻa Sisu ki he fale ʻo Pita, pea mamata ia ki he faʻē ʻa hono uaifi ʻoku tokoto ia, ʻi he mahaki ko e mofi.
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
Pea naʻa ne ala ki hono nima, pea mahuʻi ʻiate ia ʻae mofi: pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
Pea kuo efiafi, naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tokolahi kuo ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo: pea ne kapusi ʻae kau laumālie ʻaki ʻa [ʻene lea, ]ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki:
17 in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ia ne toʻo ʻetau ngaahi vaivai, ʻo ne fua [ʻetau ]ngaahi mamahi.”
18 Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kuo tokolahi ʻae kakai ʻoku foliaki ʻiate ia, ne ne fekau ke ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha.
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata tohi ʻe tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, te u muimui ʻiate koe ʻi he potu kotoa pē te ke ʻalu ki ai.”
20 ‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he fanga fokisi ʻae tafu, mo e fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā ʻae moheʻanga; ka ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ha potu ke tokoto ai hono ʻulu.”
21 ‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
Pea pehē ʻene ākonga ʻe taha kiate ia, “ʻEiki, tuku au ke u tomuʻa ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai.
22 But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
Ka naʻe talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au; pea tuku ke tanu ʻe he mate honau mate.”
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
Pea kuo heka vaka ia, kae muimui ʻene kau ākonga ʻiate ia.
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
Pea vakai, naʻe tō ʻae taufa lahi ʻi he tahi, pea fakapūlou ʻaki ʻae vaka ʻae ngaahi peau: ka naʻe mohe ia.
25 and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
Pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu; kuo tau mate!”
26 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou manavahē ai, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui?” Pea toki tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e tahi; pea naʻe tofukī [leva].
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
Ka naʻe ofo ai ʻae kau tangata, ʻo[nau ]pehē, “Ko e tangata hā eni, koeʻuhi ʻoku talangofua kiate ia ʻae matangi mo e tahi!”
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
Pea kuo hoko ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ki he fonua ʻoe Kekesini, naʻe fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻae toko ua naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ko ʻena omi mei he ngaahi faʻitoka, kuo lili ʻaupito ʻaupito, ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻalu ai ha taha ʻo ofi ki he hala ko ia.
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
Pea ʻiloange, kuo na kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻakimaua kiate koe, ʻe Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua? He kuo ke haʻu ki heni ke tomuʻa tautea ʻakimaua ʻi he teʻeki ai hoko ʻae kuonga?”
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
Pea naʻe ʻi he mamaʻo atu ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga.
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
Pea kole ʻae kau tēvolo kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku ke kapusi ʻakimautolu kituʻa, tuku ke mau hū ki he fanga puaka.”
32 ‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
Pea talaange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu.” Pea kuo nau haʻu kituʻa, mo nau hū ki he fanga puaka: pea ʻiloange, kuo feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka kotoa pē ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, pea ʻauha ai ʻi he vai.
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
Pea feholaki ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo, pea fakahā ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, mo ia kuo hoko kiate kinaua naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻae kolo kotoa pē ke nau fakafetaulaki kia Sisu: pea kuo nau mamata ki ai, naʻa nau kole [kiate ia ]ke ne ʻalu mei honau fonua.
