< Maʻake 2 >
1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho pea toe ʻalu ia ki Kapaneume; pea kuo ongo atu ʻoku ʻi he fale ia.
And when he entered again into Kepharnakhum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
2 Pea fakataha leva ʻae fuʻu tokolahi, naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa hao [ʻi he fale], pe ofi ki he matapā: pea malangaʻaki ʻe ia ʻae folofola kiate kinautolu.
And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Pea naʻe ʻomi mo kinautolu kiate ia ʻae tokotaha naʻe mahaki tete, ʻaia naʻe fata ʻe he toko fā.
And four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau faʻa hao ʻo ofi kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau tatala ʻae ʻato [ʻoe fale ]naʻe ʻi ai ia: pea kuo haeʻi ia, naʻa nau tukutuku hifo ʻae mohenga naʻe tokoto ai ʻae mahaki tete.
And when they could not bring him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Sisu ki heʻenau tui, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete, “Foha, kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
And Yeshua, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
6 Ka naʻe nofo ai ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻonau fifili ʻi honau loto, [ʻo pehē],
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 “Ko e hā ʻoku lea fie ʻOtua pehē ai ʻae tangata ni? Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala ka ko e ʻOtua pe?”
"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8 Pea kuo ʻiloʻi leva ʻe Sisu ʻi hono loto ʻoku pehē ʻenau fifili ʻi honau loto, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fifili ai ʻi homou loto ki he ngaahi meʻa ni?
And immediately Yeshua, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ʻae lea ʻaki ki he mahaki tete, ‘Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu?’
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
10 Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete),
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,
11 “ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, mo ke ʻalu ki ho fale.”
"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
12 Pea tuʻu hake leva ia, ʻo toʻo ʻae mohenga, pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē; ko ia ne nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo teʻeki te tau mamata ʻi ha meʻa pehē.”
And he arose immediately, and took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Pea toe ʻalu atu ia ki he matātahi; pea kātoa kiate ia ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
And he went out again by the lake. All the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu atu, naʻa ne mamata kia Livai ko e [foha ]ʻo ʻAlefiusi, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui kiate au.” Pea tuʻu ia ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
And as he passed by, he saw Lewi, the son of Khalphai, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
15 Pea ʻi he nofo [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi hono fale, ʻo kai, naʻe tokolahi ʻae tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau nonofo mo Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga: he naʻe tokolahi ʻakinautolu naʻe muimui ʻiate ia.
And it happened that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Yeshua and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻe he kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻoku ne kai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala, naʻa nau pehē ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Ko e hā ʻoku kai mo inu fakataha ai ia mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
17 Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, ka ki he mahaki: naʻe ʻikai teu haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
And when Yeshua heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Pea naʻe faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione mo e [ākonga ]ʻae kau Fālesi: pea nau haʻu ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione pea mo e Fālesi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaukai hoʻo kau ākonga?”
And Yukhanan's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do the disciples of Yukhanan and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"
19 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “E faʻa ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane? E ʻikai te nau faʻa ʻaukai ʻi he lolotonga ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane.
And Yeshua said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Kae hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21 “ʻOku ʻikai foki ha taha te ne ʻai ha konga meʻa foʻou ki he kofu motuʻa: he ko e [konga ]foʻou ʻoku ʻai ke ʻoposi ʻaki, ʻe mafaufau ai ia pea ʻe ʻāsili ai hono mahaehae.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Pea ʻoku ʻikai utu ʻeha taha ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; ka pehē ʻe haeʻi ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea malingi ʻae uaine, pea maumau ʻae hina; ka ʻoku ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou.”
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."
23 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia ʻi he ngaahi ngoue uite ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate; pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, naʻe kamata toli ʻe heʻene kau ākonga ʻae fua ʻoe uite.
And it happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Pea pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi kiate ia, “Vakai, ko e hā ʻoku nau fai ai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua?”
And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Naʻe ʻikai te mou lau ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita, ʻi heʻene tuʻutāmaki, mo fiekaia, ʻaia mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
And he said to them, "Did you never read what Dawid did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 ʻA ʻene hū ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻApiata ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, ʻo ne kai ʻae mā ʻoe ʻao, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke kai ka ko e kau taulaʻeiki pe, pea ne ʻange foki kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia?
How he entered into the house of God in the time of Avithar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"
27 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, Naʻe [ngaohi ]ʻae Sāpate koeʻuhi ko e tangata, ka naʻe ʻikai ngaohi ʻae tangata koeʻuhi ko e Sāpate:
And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
28 ko ia ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe Sāpate foki.”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
