< John 12 >

1 Then Jesus, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Pea toe ono ʻae ʻaho [pea fai ]ʻae [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu, pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Pētani, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Lasalosi ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe ia mei he mate.
2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
Pea naʻa nau te u ai kiate ia ʻae ʻohomohe: pea tauhi ʻe Māʻata: ka ko e tokotaha ʻa Lasalosi ʻokinautolu naʻe nofo mo ia ʻi he keinangaʻanga.
3 Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
Pea toʻo ʻe Mele ʻae lolo ko e naʻati moʻoni, ko e lau taha [hono mamafa], ko e koloa lahi, ʻo ne tākai ʻaki ʻae vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo holoholo ʻaki hono vaʻe ʻa hono louʻulu: pea naʻe pito ʻae fale ʻi he namu lelei ʻoe lolo.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], who was to betray him,
Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻo ʻene ākonga, ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone, ʻaia ʻe lavakiʻi ia,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
“Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai fakatau ai ʻae lolo ni ʻaki ʻae tenali ʻe tolungeau, pea foaki ki he masiva?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bore what was put in it.
Naʻa ne lea ʻaki eni, ka naʻe ʻikai ko ʻene tokanga ki he masiva; ka koeʻuhi ko e kaihaʻa ia, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kato, ʻo ne fua ʻaia naʻe tuku ki ai.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burial hath she kept this.
Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu, “Tuku ai pe ia: kuo tauhi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni ki he ʻaho ʻo hoku tanu.
8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva; ka ʻoku ʻikai teu ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē au.”
9 Many people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe he tokolahi ʻoe kakai Siu ʻoku ʻi ai ia: pea naʻa nau haʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhi ko Sisu pe, ka koeʻuhi ke nau mamata kia Lasalosi foki, ʻaia naʻa ne fokotuʻu mei he mate.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Ka naʻe alea ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke nau tāmateʻi ʻa Lasalosi foki;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻiate ia naʻe mahuʻi ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu, ʻo tui kia Sisu.
12 On the next day, many people that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
ʻI he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe fanongo ʻae kakai tokolahi kuo haʻu ki he kātoanga, ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema,
13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Naʻa nau toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi vaʻa ponga, ʻonau ʻalu atu ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻonau kalanga, “Hosana: ʻOku monūʻia ʻae Tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku hāʻele mai ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻasi mui, naʻa ne heka ai; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
“ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi, ʻoku heka ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi.”
16 These things his disciples understood not at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning him, and [that] they had done these things to him.
Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa ʻilo ʻe heʻene kau ākonga; ka ʻi he hakeakiʻi ʻa Sisu, naʻa nau manatu ai kuo tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia, pea kuo nau fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate ia.
17 The people therefore that were with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bore testimony.
Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻae kakai ko ia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi heʻene ui ʻa Lasalosi mei he tanuʻanga, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia mei he mate.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
Ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻae kakai kiate ia, he naʻa nau fanongo kuo ne fai ʻae mana ni.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
Pea ko ia naʻe alea ai ʻae kau Fālesi ʻiate kinautolu, ʻIkai te mou vakai ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito te mou lavaʻi ha meʻa? “Vakai, kuo muimui ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻiate ia.”
20 And there were certain Greeks among them, that came to worship at the feast.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau Kiliki niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu hake ke hū ʻi he kātoanga.
21 The same came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Filipe, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Petesaita ʻi Kāleli, ʻonau kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, ʻoku mau fie mamata kia Sisu.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Filipe ʻo tala kia ʻAnitelū: pea toe tala kia Sisu ʻe ʻAnitelū mo Filipe.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho, ke fakaongoongolelei ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
24 Verily, verily, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, Kapau ʻoku ʻikai mokulu ʻae tengaʻi uite ki he kelekele pea mate, ʻoku nofo taha ai pe: ka ʻi heʻene mate, ʻoku tupu mei ai ʻae fua lahi.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki heʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia ʻiate ia; pea ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki heʻene moʻui ʻi he māmani, te ne maʻu ia ki he moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honor.
Kapau ʻoku tauhi au ʻe ha tangata, tuku ke ne muimui ʻiate au; pea ko e potu teu ʻi ai, ʻe ʻi ai foki ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: kapau ʻoku tauhi au ʻe ha tangata, ʻe fakaongoongolelei ia ʻe he Tamai.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause I came to this hour.
“Ko eni kuo mamahi hoku laumālie; pea ko e hā ʻeku lea? [Te u pehē], ʻE Tamai, fakamoʻui au mei he ʻaho ni? Ka naʻaku haʻu koeʻuhi [ke u hokosia ]ʻae ʻaho ni.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.
‌ʻE Tamai, fakaongoongolelei ho huafa.” Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae leʻo ni mei he langi, “Kuo u fakaongoongolelei ia, pea te u toe fakaongoongolelei ia.”
29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard [it], said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to him.
Pea ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kakai naʻe tutuʻu [ai], mo ongoʻi [ia], ko e mana: pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e ʻāngelo ʻoku lea kiate ia.”
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai ongo mai ʻae leʻo ni koeʻuhi ko au, ka koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻoe māmani ʻe kapusi eni ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe māmani kituaʻā,
32 And I, if I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] to me.
Pea kapau ʻe hiki au ki ʻolunga mei he fonua, te u tohoaki ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate au.”
33 (This he said, signifying what death he should die.)
Ko ʻene lea pehē, ko e fakahā ʻae mateʻanga ko ia ʻe mate ai ia.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Pea leaange ʻae kakai kiate ia, “Kuo mau fanongo mei he fono ʻoku nofo ʻae Kalaisi ʻo taʻengata: pea ʻoku fēfē hoʻo lau, ʻE hiki hake ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata? ʻE fēfē nai ʻae Foha ko ia ʻoe tangata? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻE toetoe siʻi pe ʻene ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae maama. ʻEveʻeva lolotonga hoʻomou maʻu ʻae maama telia naʻa tō ʻae poʻuli kiate kimoutolu: he ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia pe ko ʻene ʻalu ki fē.
36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and concealed himself from them.
‌ʻI hoʻomou kei maʻu ʻae maama, tui ki he maama, koeʻuhi ke mou hoko ko e fānau ʻae maama.” Naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sisu ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ʻalu, ʻo ne fufū ia ʻiate kinautolu.
37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
He kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi mana lahi ʻi honau ʻao, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate ia:
38 That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ai ʻae lea ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ʻaia naʻe pehē, “ʻEiki, ko hai kuo tui ki heʻemau fakaongoongoa? Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?”
39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te nau faʻa tui, he naʻe toe tala foki ʻe ʻIsaia,
40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
“Kuo fakakui ʻe ia honau mata, ʻo fakafefeka honau loto; ke ʻoua naʻa nau vakai ʻaki honau mata, pe ʻilo ʻaki honau loto, pea liliu, peau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.”
41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIsaia, ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono nāunau, pea ne lea kiate ia.
42 Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Pea naʻe tui kiate ia ʻae tokolahi ʻi he kau pule foki; ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kau Fālesi, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahā ia, telia naʻa kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he falelotu:
43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
He naʻe lahi ʻenau manako ki he fakamālō ʻae tangata ʻi he fakamālō ʻae ʻOtua.
44 Jesus cried, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me:
Pea kalanga ʻa Sisu ʻo pehē, “Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻoku ʻikai tui kiate au [pe], ka kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me:
Pea ko ia ʻoku ne mamata kiate au, ʻoku ne mamata kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Kuo u haʻu au ko e maama ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻe tui kiate au ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ia ʻi he poʻuli.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Pea kapau ʻoku fanongo ha tangata ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, kae ʻikai tui, ʻoku ʻikai te u fakamaauʻi ia: he naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke fakamaauʻi ʻa māmani, ka ke fakamoʻui ʻa māmani.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Ko ia ʻoku ne liʻaki au ʻo ʻikai maʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻoku ai ha taha ʻoku fakamaauʻi ia: ko e lea kuo u lea ʻaki, ko ia te ne fakamaauʻi ia ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.
49 For I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
He naʻe ʻikai te u lea ʻiate au; ka ko e Tamai naʻa ne fekau au, kuo ne puleʻi au ʻi he meʻa te u fekau, mo ia te u lea ʻaki.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatever I speak therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak. (aiōnios g166)
Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ko ʻene fekau ko e moʻui taʻengata: ko ia ko e meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻaki, ʻoku ou lea ʻaki ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻae Tamai kiate au.” (aiōnios g166)
