Maʻake 1
1 Ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua;
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 ʻO hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he kau palōfita, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala kiate koe.
As has been written in the prophets; Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee;
3 Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki, fakatonutonu hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.’”
the voice of one roaring in the wilderness; Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.
4 Naʻe papitaiso ʻe Sione ʻi he toafa, mo ne malangaʻaki ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala ki he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala.
John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness the baptism of repentance unto the remission of sins.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko Siutea, pea mo kinautolu ʻo Selūsalema, ʻonau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻiate ia ʻi he vaitafe ko Sioatani, ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala.
And all the Judean country and the Jerusalemites were going out unto him, and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Sione ʻae fulufuluʻi kāmeli, pea nonoʻo ʻaki hono konga loto ʻae kiliʻi manu; pea naʻa ne kai ʻae heʻe mo e meʻa huʻamelie ʻoe vao;
And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and eating locusts and wild honey;
7 Pea naʻa ne malanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku muimui ʻiate au ʻae tokotaha ʻoku lahi kiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u punou hifo ʻo vevete.
And he proclaimed, saying, I indeed baptized you with water; but One cometh after me more powerful than I; the latchet of His sandals I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loose,
8 Ko e moʻoni, kuo u papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai: ka te ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
and He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Nāsaleti ʻo Kaleli, pea papitaiso ia ʻe Sione ʻi Sioatani.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Pea ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai, pea ne mamata kuo mavaeua ʻae langi, pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e lupe:
And coming up straightway from the water, He saw the heavens open and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him.
11 Pea ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he langi, [naʻe pehē], “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
And there was a voice from the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
12 Pea taki leva ia ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa.
And immediately the Spirit casts Him out into the wilderness.
13 Pea naʻe ʻi he toafa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sētane; pea naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻae fanga manu kai vao; kae tauhi ia ʻe he kau ʻāngelo.
And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels continued to minister unto Him.
14 Pea kuo fakahū ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula, pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kaleli, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
After that John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae kuonga, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: mou fakatomala, pea tui ki he ongoongolelei.”
and saying, That the time is fulfilled: the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kaleli, naʻa ne mamata kia Saimone, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, ʻoku na lafo ʻae kupenga ki tahi: he ko e ongo toutai ika ʻakinaua.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting their net in the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ngaohi ʻakimoua ke mo toutai tangata.”
Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
18 Pea naʻa na liʻaki leva, hona kupenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
And immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
19 Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, mo ne mamata kia Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, naʻa na ʻi he vaka foki, ʻo pena honau kupenga.
And going forth thence a little, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, themselves also in a ship mending their nets,
20 Pea ne ui leva ʻakinaua: pea naʻa na liʻaki ʻena tamai ko Sepeti ʻi he vaka mo e kau ngāue kuo unga, ka na muimui ʻiate ia.
and immediately He called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired hands, they departed after Him.
21 Pea nau ō ki Kapaneume: pea hū leva ia ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne ako.
And they come into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath, He was teaching in the synagogue.
22 Pea nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki: he naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku mālohi, ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko e kau tangata tohi.
And they were astonished at His teaching; for Ile was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Pea naʻe ʻi honau falelotu ʻae tangata naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli: pea kalanga leva ia,
And there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 ʻo pehē, “E Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, tuku ai pe; ko e hā ʻakimautolu kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻOku ou ʻilo koe, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
saying, Let me alone; what is there to us and thee, thou Jesus, the Nazarene? You have come to destroy us; I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Pea lolomi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakalongo pē, pea ke haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia.”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out from him.
26 Pea kuo haehae ia ʻe he laumālie ʻuli, mo tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, pea ne toki mahuʻi ʻiate ia.
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a great voice, came out from him.
27 Pea naʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko ia ne nau fakafefehuʻiʻaki ai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ko eni? Ko e hā ʻae akonaki foʻou ni? He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ʻi he mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoku nau talangofua kiate ia.”
And they were all astonished, so that they were inquiring one to another, saying, What is this? what new teaching is this? Because according to authority He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him;
28 Pea naʻe mafola leva ʻa hono ongoongo ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kaleli.
and His fame went out immediately into all the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 Pea kuo nau ʻalu mei he falelotu, naʻa nau hū, fakataha mo Semisi mo Sione, ki he fale ʻo Saimone mo ʻAnitelū.
And immediately, having come out from the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Ka naʻe tokoto ʻae faʻē ʻae uaifi ʻo Saimone ʻoku mahaki ko e mofi; pea nau fakahā leva ia kiate ia.
And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying down burning with fever; and immediately they speak to Him concerning her:
31 Pea haʻu ia ʻo puke hono nima, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia: pea mahuʻi leva ʻae mofi ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
And having come to her, taking her by the hand, He raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she continued to minister unto them.
32 Pea kuo efiafi, ʻo feʻunga mo e tō ʻae laʻā, mo ʻenau ʻomi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
And it being evening, when the sun went down, they were carrying to Him all the sick and demonized;
33 Pea fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē ki he matapā.
and the whole city was gathered to the door.
34 Pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi naʻe mahaki ʻi he mahaki kehekehe, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi: pea ne taʻofi ke ʻoua ʻe lea ʻae kau tēvolo, koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻilo ia.
And He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
35 Pea pongipongi ai, naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻoku teʻeki ʻaho, pea ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻo mole atu ki he potu lala, pea lotu ai.
And in the morning, exceedingly early, while it was yet night, having arisen up He came out, and went away into a desert place, and was praying there.
36 Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia.
And Simon and those who were with him followed Him.
37 Pea kuo ʻilo ia, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku kumi kotoa pē kiate koe.”
And they found Him, and say to Him, All are seeking after thee.
38 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ofi mai, koeʻuhi ke u malanga ai foki: he ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai.”
And He says to them, Let us go into the surrounding villages and cities, that I may preach there; for unto this I have come out.
39 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻe ia ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu ʻi Kāleli kotoa pē, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo.
And He was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
40 Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kilia, naʻe kole kiate ia, ʻo tuʻulutui kiate ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko ho finangalo ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
And a leper comes to Him, entreating Him, and bowing the knee to Him, and saying to Him, That if thou mayest be willing, thou art able to cleanse me.
41 Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo mafao atu hono nima, ʻo ala kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Ko hoku loto ia; ke ke maʻa koe.”
And Jesus being moved with compassion, reaching forth His hand, touched him, and says to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 Pea kuo lea ia, mo ʻene mahuʻi leva ʻae kilia ʻiate ia, pea maʻa ai ia.
And He speaking, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Pea ne naʻinaʻi mālohi kiate ia, pea toki fekau ke ne ʻalu:
And charging him, He immediately sent him away,
44 ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Vakai ʻoua naʻa ke lea ki ha taha: ka ke ʻalu, ʻo fakahā Ko e ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
and says to him, See that you may speak nothing to any one: but go, show thyself unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne kamata fakahā ʻo lahi, mo fanongonongo ʻae meʻa [ni], ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai ke toe faʻa ʻalu fakahā [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi tuaʻā ia ʻi he ngaahi potu lala: pea naʻa nau haʻu mei he potu kotoa pē kiate ia.
And he having gone out, began to proclaim many things, and to publish abroad the word, so that He was no longer able openly to come into the city, but was out in desert places: and they continued to come to Him from all directions.
