Matthew 12
1 At that season Jesus went on the sabbath day through the cornfields; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck ears of corn, and to eat.
Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu ʻi he kuonga ko ia ʻi he ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea naʻe fiekaia ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau kamata toli ʻae fua ʻoe uite, ʻo kai.
2 But the Pharisees, when they saw it, said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do upon the sabbath.
Ka ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene fiekaia, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia;
4 how be entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them that were with him, but only for the priests?
ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke ne kai, pe ko kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe?
5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath day the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are guiltless?
Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻi he fono, ʻoku fai taʻehalaia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻaia ʻoku kovi ke fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?
6 But I say unto you, that one greater than the temple is here.
Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻi he potu ni ha taha ʻoku lahi ʻi he falelotu lahi.
7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Pea ka ne mou ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻoe[lea ni], ‘ʻE ʻikai te u lelei lahi ʻi he feilaulau, ka ʻi he lotoʻofa,’ pehē, ne ʻikai te mou tukuekina ʻae taʻehalaia.
8 For the Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
He ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe ʻaho Sāpate foki.”
9 And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue:
Pea kuo ʻalu ia mei ai, pea hū ia ki honau falelotu.
10 and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima. Pea nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ngofua ke fakamoʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate?” Koeʻuhi ke nau fakakoviʻi ia.
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e tangata fē ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻoku taha pe ʻene sipi, pea ka tō ia ki ha luo ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻe ʻikai te ne puke ia, ʻo toʻo hake?
12 How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day.
Pea ʻikai ʻoku lelei lahi ʻae tangata ʻi he sipi? Ko ia, ʻoku ngofua ke fai lelei ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.”
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other.
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, “Mafao atu ho nima.” Pea ne mafao atu [ia]; pea fakamoʻui ia, ʻo hangē ko[hono nima ]ʻe taha.
14 But the Pharisees went out, and took counsel against him, how they might destroy him.
Pea toki ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau fakakaukau, pe fēfē ʻenau tāmateʻi ia.
15 And Jesus perceiving [it] withdrew from thence: and many followed him; and he healed them all,
Ka ʻi he ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu mei ai: pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, pea ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē;
16 and charged them that they should not make him known:
Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakaʻilo ia:
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻaia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻo pehē,
18 Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; My beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, And he shall declare judgment to the Gentiles.
“Vakai ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia kuo u fili; ʻoku ou ʻofa ai, pea ʻoku mālieʻia ai hoku laumālie: Te u tuku hoku laumālie kiate ia, pea te ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi fekau ki he Senitaile.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry aloud; Neither shall any one hear his voice in the streets.
ʻE ʻikai fakakikihi ia, pe kalanga; pea ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻe ha taha ki hono leʻo ʻi he hala.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, And smoking flax shall he not quench, Till he send forth judgment unto victory.
ʻE ʻikai te ne fesiʻi ha kaho kuo volu, pe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoku kohu pē, kaeʻoua ke mālohi ia ʻi he fofola ʻo ʻene ngaahi fekau.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
Pea ʻe falala ʻae Senitaile ki hono huafa.”
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the dumb man spake and saw.
Pea naʻe toki ʻomi ai kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe kui mo noa, kuo ʻulusino ai ʻae tēvolo: pea naʻa ne fakamoʻui ia, ko ia naʻe lea mo ʻā ai ʻaia naʻe kui mo noa.
23 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Is this the son of David?
Pea ofo ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “ʻIkai ko e Foha eni ʻo Tevita?”
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This man doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae kau Fālesi, naʻa nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai kapusi ʻae tēvolo ʻe he siana ni, kae ʻia Pelisipupe ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
25 And knowing their thoughts he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Pea ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻauha ia; pea ko e kolo mo e fale kotoa pē kuo feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ia:
26 and if Satan casteth out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
Pea kapau ʻoku kapusi ʻe Sētane ʻa Sētane, kuo fehiʻa ia kiate ia.; pea ʻe tuʻu fēfē ʻa hono puleʻanga?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻia Pelisipupe, ʻoku kapusi [ʻakinautolu ]ʻe hoʻomou fānau ʻia hai? Ko ia ko homou kau fakamaau ʻakinautolu.
28 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
Pea kapau ʻoku ou kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, pea tā kuo hoko mai ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.
29 Or how can one enter into the house of the strong [man], and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong [man]? and then he will spoil his house.
“ʻE faʻa hū fēfē ha taha ki he fale ʻoe tokotaha mālohi, ʻo kaihaʻasi ʻene ngaahi meʻa ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te ne tomuʻa haʻi ʻae tokotaha mālohi? Pea te ne toki kaihaʻasi ʻene koloa.
30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai kau mo au, ʻoku angatuʻu ia kiate au; pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ma tānaki mo au, ʻoku ne fakahē ke mamaʻo.
31 Therefore I say unto you, Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
“Ko ia ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e angahala kotoa pē mo e lohiakiʻi, ʻe fakamolemole ia ki he kakai: ka ko e lohiakiʻi ʻoe Laumālie [Māʻoniʻoni], ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ia ki he kakai.
32 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Pea ko ia ʻoku ne lea kovi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe fakamolemolea ia: ka ko ia ʻoku lea kovi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea, ʻi he māmani, pe [ʻi he maama ]ʻe haʻu. (aiōn g165)
33 Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit.
“Ke pehē, ʻoku lelei ʻae ʻakau, pea lelei mo hono fua; pe pehē, ʻoku kovi ʻae ʻakau, pea kovi mo hono fua: he ʻoku ʻilo ʻae ʻakau ʻi hono fua.
34 Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
ʻAe hako ʻoe ngata fekai! ʻE fēfeeʻi hoʻomou faʻa lea lelei, ka ʻoku mou kovi pe? He ʻoku lea ʻae ngutu mei he meʻa lahi ʻoku ʻi he loto.
35 The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angalelei ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei mei he koloa lelei [ʻoe loto]: pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tangata angakovi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi mei he koloa kovi [ʻoe loto].
36 And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
“Ka ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko e lea kovi kotoa pē ʻoku lea ʻaki ʻe he kakai, ʻe fakamaau ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Koeʻuhi ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea, pea ʻe fakahalaiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo ngaahi lea.”
38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Pea toki leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fie mamata ki ha fakaʻilonga meiate koe.”
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet:
Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e toʻutangata kovi mo feʻauaki ʻoku holi ki ha fakaʻilonga; ka ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe tuku ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga ʻoe palōfita ko Siona;
40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
He naʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻa Siona ʻi he kete ʻoe ika lahi: pea pehē, ʻe ʻaho tolu mo e pō ʻe tolu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻi lalo fonua.
41 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae kakai ʻo Ninive ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia ia: koeʻuhi naʻa nau fakatomala ʻi he malanga ʻa Siona; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Siona.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
ʻE tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻoe feituʻu tonga ʻi he fakamaau mo e toʻutangata ni, ʻo fakahalaia ia: he naʻe haʻu ia mei he potu mamaʻo ʻo māmani ke fanongo ki he poto ʻa Solomone; pea vakai, ʻoku ʻi heni ʻaia ʻoku lahi ʻia Solomone.
43 But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and findeth it not.
“ʻOka ʻalu ʻae laumālie ʻuli mei he tangata, ʻoku ʻalu fano ia ʻi he potu mōmoa ʻo kumi mālōloʻanga, kae ʻikai ʻilo ia.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, Te u toe ʻalu ki hoku fale ne u haʻu mei ai; pea ka haʻu ia, ʻoku ne ʻilo ia kuo liʻaki, pea kuo tafi pea teuteu.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.
Pea toki ʻalu ia, ʻo ʻomi mo e laumālie ʻe toko fitu kehe ʻoku kovi lahi ʻiate ia, pea nau hū ʻo nofo ki ai: pea kovi lahi ʻa e [anga ]ki mui ʻae tangata ko ia ʻi heʻene [anga ]ʻi muʻa. Pea ʻe pehē pe foki ki he toʻutangata angakovi ni.”
46 While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.
Pea ʻi heʻene kei lea ki he kakai, vakai, ko ʻene faʻē mo hono ngaahi kāinga naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ʻonau fie lea kiate ia.
47 And one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.
Pea pehē ʻe ha taha kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku tuʻu ʻituʻa hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga, ko ʻenau fie lea kiate koe.”
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Pea ne lea, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, naʻa ne fakahā mai, “Ko hai ʻeku faʻē? Pea ko hai mo hoku kāinga?”
49 And he stretched forth his hand towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren!
Pea mafao atu ʻe ia hono nima ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
He ko ia ia te ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ko hoku tokoua ia, mo [hoku ]tuofefine, mo [ʻeku ]faʻē.”
