Sione 11
1 Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa Lasalosi, ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi Pētani, ko e kolo ʻa Mele mo hono tokoua ko Māʻata.
Now a certain man was sick, Leayzar from Beth-Naiya, of the village of Maryam and her sister, Marta.
2 (Ko e Mele [ko ia ]ia naʻa ne tākai ʻae ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae lolo, ʻo ne holoholo hono vaʻe ʻaki hono louʻulu, naʻe mahaki hono tuongaʻane ko Lasalosi.)
It was that Maryam who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Leayzar, was sick.
3 Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe hono ongo tuofefine kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko ia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ʻoku mahaki.”
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
4 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e mahaki eni ke mate ai, ka ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
But when Yeshua heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
5 Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sisu kia Māʻata, mo hono tehina, mo Lasalosi.
Now Yeshua loved Marta, and her sister, and Leayzar.
6 Pea kuo fanongo ia ki heʻene mahaki, naʻa ne kei nofo ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ʻaho ua.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Hili ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “Ke tau toe ʻalu ki Siutea.”
Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Yehuda again."
8 Pea tala ʻe he kau ākonga kiate ia, “Lāpai, naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau Siu ke tolongaki koe ʻaki ʻae maka; pea ʻoku ke toe ʻalu ki ai?”
The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻIkai ʻoku hongofulu ma ua ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻi he ʻaho? Kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku mamata ia ki he maama ʻoe māmani.
Yeshua answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Pea kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha maama ʻi ai.”
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 Naʻe hili ʻene lea ni, pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hotau kāinga ko Lasalosi ʻoku mohe; ka ʻoku ou ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u fafangu ia mei he mohe.”
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Leayzar, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
12 Pea pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau ākonga, “ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku mohe, ʻe lelei ai ia.”
Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Naʻe lea ʻa Sisu ki heʻene mate ka naʻa nau mahalo ko ʻene lea ki he mālōlō ʻi he mohe.
Now Yeshua had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Pea toki tala fakatotonu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mate ʻa Lasalosi.
So Yeshua said to them plainly then, "Leayzar is dead.
15 Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi he ʻikai te u ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou tui; ka tau ō kiate ia.”
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
16 Pea lea ai ʻa Tōmasi, ʻoku ui ko Titimasi, ki heʻene kaungā ākonga, “Ke tau ō foki, ka tau mate mo ia.”
Tama therefore, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
17 Pea kuo ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻaho fā hono tuku ia ki he faʻitoka.
So when Yeshua came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Pea naʻe ofi ʻa Pētani ki Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe ua nai hono mamaʻo.
Now Beth-Naiya was near Urishlim, about two miles away.
19 Pea haʻu ʻae kau Siu tokolahi kia Māʻata mo Mele, ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinaua koeʻuhi ko hona tuongaʻane.
Many of the Jewish people had come to Marta and Maryam, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Māʻata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Mele ʻi he fale.
Then when Marta heard that Yeshua was coming, she went and met him, but Maryam stayed in the house.
21 Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.
Therefore Marta said to Yeshua, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻa eni, ko ia kotoa pē te ke kolea ki he ʻOtua, ʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.”
Yeshua said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Pea tala ʻe Māʻata kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.”
Marta said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia:
Yeshua said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki: ʻoku ou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe totonu ke haʻu ki māmani.”
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Meshikha, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
28 Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ui fakafufū hono tehina ko Mele, ʻo ne pehē, Kuo haʻu ʻae Akonaki, pea ʻoku fehuʻi kiate koe.”
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Maryam, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29 Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
30 Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.
Now Yeshua had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Marta met him.
31 Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai.
Then the Yehudeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Maryam, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.”
Therefore when Maryam came to where Yeshua was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia,
When Yeshua therefore saw her weeping, and the Yehudeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”
and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.
Yeshua wept.
36 Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”
The Yehudeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
37 Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?”
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
38 Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka.
So Yeshua, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni.
Yeshua said, "Take away the stone." Marta, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40 Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?”
Yeshua said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
41 Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au.
So they took away the stone. And Yeshua lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, [ko ia ]kuo u lea [ai], koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.”
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.”
When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Leayzar, come out."
44 Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.”
The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Yeshua said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45 Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu naʻe haʻu kia Mele, hili ʻenau mamata ki he ngāue naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau tui kiate ia.
Therefore many of the Yehudeans, who came to Maryam and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
46 Ka naʻe ʻalu honau niʻihi ki he kau Fālesi, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe Sisu.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Yeshua had done.
47 Pea fakataha ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau fai? He ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi mana lahi.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Kapau te tau tuku noa ai pe ia, ʻe tui kotoa pē kiate ia: pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Loma, ʻo fakaʻauha hotau potu mo hotau puleʻanga.”
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
49 Pea ko honau tokotaha, ko Kaiafasi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa,
But a certain one of them, Qayapha, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50 Pea tokanga ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu, ke mate ha tangata ʻe tokotaha maʻae kakai, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa.”
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51 Pea naʻe ʻikai meiate ia ʻene lea ko ia: ka ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, pea ne kikite ʻe mate ʻa Sisu ki he puleʻanga ko ia;
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yeshua would die for the nation,
52 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ki he puleʻanga pe ko ia, ka koeʻuhi ke ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua kuo fakahēʻi mamaʻo.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau alea fakataha ke tāmateʻi ia.
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
54 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu fakahā ʻa Sisu ʻi he kakai Siu; ka naʻe mahuʻi ia mei ai ki he fonua ofi ki he toafa, ki he kolo naʻe ui ko ʻEfalemi, pea nofo ai mo ʻene kau ākonga.
Yeshua therefore walked no more openly among the Yehudeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Aphreeim; and stayed there with his disciples.
55 Pea kuo ofi ʻa e [kātoanga ʻoe ]Lakaatu ʻae kakai Siu: naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tokolahi mei he tukuʻuta ki Selūsalema, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae kātoanga ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Urishlim before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Sisu, ʻonau fealēleaʻaki, ʻi heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā hoʻomou mahalo? ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kātoanga?”
Then they sought for Yeshua and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
57 He kuo fekau ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e Fālesi, kapau kuo ʻilo ʻe ha tangata pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, ke ne fakahā, ka nau puke ia.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
