< Sione 12 >
1 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.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
2 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.
they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;
3 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.
Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Pea lea ai ʻae tokotaha ʻo ʻene ākonga, ko Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ko e foha ʻo Saimone, ʻaia ʻe lavakiʻi ia,
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai fakatau ai ʻae lolo ni ʻaki ʻae tenali ʻe tolungeau, pea foaki ki he masiva?”
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
6 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.
and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu, “Tuku ai pe ia: kuo tauhi ʻe ia ʻae meʻa ni ki he ʻaho ʻo hoku tanu.
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 He ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē ʻae masiva; ka ʻoku ʻikai teu ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē au.”
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
9 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.
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 Ka naʻe alea ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke nau tāmateʻi ʻa Lasalosi foki;
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻiate ia naʻe mahuʻi ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu, ʻo tui kia Sisu.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 ʻI he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻe fanongo ʻae kakai tokolahi kuo haʻu ki he kātoanga, ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema,
On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,
13 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.”
took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;'
14 Pea kuo maʻu ʻe Sisu ʻae ʻasi mui, naʻa ne heka ai; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi,
and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 “ʻE taʻahine ʻo Saione, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho Tuʻi, ʻoku heka ki he ʻuhikiʻi ʻasi.”
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
16 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.
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
17 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.
The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18 Ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻae kakai kiate ia, he naʻa nau fanongo kuo ne fai ʻae mana ni.
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
19 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.”
the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 Pea naʻe ai ʻae kau Kiliki niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu hake ke hū ʻi he kātoanga.
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
21 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.
these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Filipe ʻo tala kia ʻAnitelū: pea toe tala kia Sisu ʻe ʻAnitelū mo Filipe.
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho, ke fakaongoongolelei ai ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata.
And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
24 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.
verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
25 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 )
he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (aiōnios )
26 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.
if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
27 “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.
'Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;
28 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.”
Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
29 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.”
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai ongo mai ʻae leʻo ni koeʻuhi ko au, ka koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Ko eni ʻae fakamaau ʻoe māmani ʻe kapusi eni ʻae ʻeiki ʻoe māmani kituaʻā,
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 Pea kapau ʻe hiki au ki ʻolunga mei he fonua, te u tohoaki ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate au.”
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 Ko ʻene lea pehē, ko e fakahā ʻae mateʻanga ko ia ʻe mate ai ia.
And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
34 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 )
the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?' (aiōn )
35 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
36 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.
while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 He kuo fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi mana lahi ʻi honau ʻao, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate ia:
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
38 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?”
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te nau faʻa tui, he naʻe toe tala foki ʻe ʻIsaia,
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
40 “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.”
'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41 Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻIsaia, ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono nāunau, pea ne lea kiate ia.
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42 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:
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
43 He naʻe lahi ʻenau manako ki he fakamālō ʻae tangata ʻi he fakamālō ʻae ʻOtua.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 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.
And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 Pea ko ia ʻoku ne mamata kiate au, ʻoku ne mamata kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
46 Kuo u haʻu au ko e maama ki māmani, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻe tui kiate au ke ʻoua naʻa nofo ia ʻi he poʻuli.
I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
47 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.
and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 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.
'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
49 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.
because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
50 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 )
and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios )
