Maʻake 7
1 Pea toki fakataha kiate ia ʻae kau Fālesi mo e niʻihi ʻi he kau tangata tohi, naʻe haʻu mei Selūsalema.
Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem.
2 Pea ʻi heʻenau mamata ki he niʻihi ʻi heʻene kau ākonga ʻoku nau kai mā ʻi he nima ʻuli, ko e pehē, ko e [nima ]taʻefanofano, naʻa nau hanu ai.
Now when they saw that some of his disciples ate bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
3 He ko e kau Fālesi, mo e kakai Siu fulipē, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fuofua fanofano nima, ko e tokanga ki he talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa.
(For the Pharisees, and all Jewish people, do not eat unless they wash their hands and forearms, holding to the Tradition of the Elders.
4 Pea ʻi [heʻenau haʻu ]mei he faianga fakatau, ʻoku ʻikai te nau kai, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau kaukau. Pea ʻoku ai mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, kuo nau maʻu ke fai, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu inu, mo e ngaahi ipu fua, mo e ngaahi ipu kapa, mo e ngaahi tokotoʻanga.
They do not eat when they come from the marketplace unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold to, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels and dining couches.)
5 Pea fehuʻi kiate ia ʻe he kau Fālesi mo e kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai ke fai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻo hangē ko e talatupuʻa ʻae mātuʻa, ka ʻoku nau kai mā mo e nima taʻefanofano?”
The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not walk according to the Tradition of the Elders, but eat their bread with unwashed hands?"
6 Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Neʻineʻi fakahā ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ko e kau mālualoi, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, ‘ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu, ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
He said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
7 Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, he ko e ngaahi akonaki ʻoku nau ako ʻaki, ko e ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata.’
And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.'
8 “He kuo mou siʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, kae maʻu ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae tangata, ko e fufulu ʻoe ngaahi ipu fua mo e ngaahi ipu inu: pea ʻoku lahi mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.
"For you set aside the commandment of God, and hold tightly to human tradition."
9 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ha meʻa ʻe lelei ko hoʻomou liʻaki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua, ka mou fai ʻae talatupuʻa ʻamoutolu.
He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition.
10 He naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē;’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻoku kape ki [heʻene ]tamai pe ko [ʻene ]faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother;' and, 'Anyone who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'
11 Ka ʻoku mou pehē, ‘Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, [ʻo pehē], “Ko ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaonga kiate koe, ko e Kopano ia,”’ ʻaia ko e foaki tapu; [ʻe ʻataʻatā ia].
But you say, 'If anyone tells his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban, that is to say, given to God;"'
12 Pea ʻoku mou taʻofi haʻane toe fai ha meʻa maʻa ʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē;
then you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or his mother,
13 ʻO fakataʻeʻaonga ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa, ʻaia ʻoku mou enginakiʻaki: pea ʻoku lahi ʻae meʻa pehē ʻoku mou fai.”
making void the word of God by your tradition, which you have handed down. You do many things like this."
14 Pea ʻi heʻene ui mai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, naʻa ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo kotoa pē kiate au, pea ʻilo.
And he called the crowd to himself again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand.
15 ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻituʻa ʻi he tangata, pea hū ki ai, te ne faʻa fakaʻuliʻi ia: ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku haʻu meiate ia, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
There is nothing from outside of the person, that going into him can defile him; but the things which proceed out of the person are what defile the person."
16 Ko e tangata ʻoku telinga ke ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
17 Pea kuo hū ia ki he fale mei he kakai, naʻe fehuʻi ʻe heʻene kau ākonga kiate ia ki he fakatātā.
When he had entered into a house away from the crowd, his disciples asked him about the parable.
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “He ʻoku pehē hoʻomou taʻeʻilo foki? ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē mei tuʻa, ʻoku ʻalu ki he tangata, ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakaʻuli ia ʻe ia;
He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever goes into the person from outside cannot defile him,
19 Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻalu ia ki hono loto, ka ki he kete, ʻoku fakamaʻa ai ʻae meʻakai kotoa pē, kae [toki ]ʻalu kituʻa ʻae meʻa taʻeʻaonga?”
because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, then into the latrine, cleansing all the foods?"
20 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he tangata, ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
He said, "That which proceeds out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 He ʻoku mei loto, mei he loto ʻoe tangata, ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e tonoʻi fefine mo e feʻauaki, mo e fakapō,
For from within, out of a person's heart, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual sins, murders, thefts,
22 Mo e kaihaʻa, mo e manumanu, mo e angahala, mo e kākā, mo e anga fakalielia, mo e mata kovi, mo e lea kovi, mo e laukau, mo e vale:
covetings, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness.
23 Ko e ngaahi meʻa kovi ni kotoa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he loto, ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."
24 Pea tuʻu hake ia ʻi ai, ʻo ʻalu ki he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, pea ne hū ki he fale, ʻo ne loto ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo [ia ]ʻe ha taha: ka naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakapuli ia.
From there he arose, and went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house, and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not escape notice.
25 He naʻe ongoa atu ia ki ha fefine naʻe ai ʻene taʻahine siʻi naʻe ʻi ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, pea haʻu ia, ʻo tōmapeʻe ʻi hono vaʻe:
But immediately a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell at his feet.
26 Ko e Kiliki ʻae fefine ni, mei he puleʻanga ko Sailofinisia: pea naʻa ne kole kiate ia, ke ne kapusi kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi heʻene taʻahine.
Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻOua ke tomuʻa mākona ʻae fānau: he ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, mo lī ki he fanga kulī.”
But he said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī, ʻi he lalo keinangaʻanga, ʻae momo ʻoe meʻakai ʻae fānau.”
But she answered him, "Yes, Sir. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Koeʻuhi ko e lea ni ke ke ʻalu; kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻae tēvolo ʻi hoʻo taʻahine.”
He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter."
30 Pea kuo hoko ia ki hono fale, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻalu kituʻa ʻa e tēvolo, kae tokoto ʻene taʻahine ʻi he mohenga.
And when she went away to her house, she found the child lying on the bed, the demon having left.
31 Pea naʻe toe ʻalu ia mei he potu ʻo Taia mo Saitoni, ʻo haʻu ʻi he potu fonua ʻo Tikapolisi, ki he tahi ʻo Kāleli.
Again he departed from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the region of Decapolis.
32 Pea nau ʻomi kiate ia ha tokotaha naʻe tuli, pea ʻikai ke faʻa lea; pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne hilifaki hono nima ki ai.
They brought to him one who was deaf and had a speech difficulty, and they begged Jesus to lay his hand on him.
33 Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ia mei he kakai, ʻo ne ʻai hono tuhu ki hono telinga, pea ʻaʻanu, mo ne ala ki hono ʻelelo;
He took him aside from the crowd, privately, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
34 Pea hanga hake ia ki he langi, ʻo mafulu, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEfata,” ko e pehē ia, “Ke ava.”
Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha." that is, "Be opened."
35 Pea naʻe ava leva hono telinga, pea vete ʻae noʻo ʻo hono ʻelelo, pea ne lea totonu.
And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
36 Pea ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha: ka ʻi heʻene fekau lahi kiate kinautolu, ne ʻāsili ai ʻo lahi ʻenau fanongonongo [ia];
He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
37 Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻo lahi ʻaupito, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo lelei: ʻoku ne ngaohi ʻae tuli ke ongo, mo e noa ke lea.”
They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak."
