Maʻake 8
1 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe fuʻu tokolahi ʻaupito ʻae kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai, pea ui ʻe Sisu ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu,
In those days, when there was a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples to himself, and said to them,
2 “ʻOku ou ʻofa mamahi ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaho tolu ʻenau ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai:
"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Pea kapau te u fekau kenau ʻalu fiekaia ki honau ngaahi fale, te nau pongia ʻi he hala: he ko honau niʻihi kuo haʻu mei he mamaʻo.”
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
4 Pea pehēange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻE maʻu mei fē ʻe ha taha ʻae mā ke fakamākona ʻaki ʻakinautolu ni ʻi heni ʻi he toafa?”
His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
5 Pea fehuʻi ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fiha hoʻomou foʻi mā?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻOku fitu.”
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
6 Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nau nofo ki lalo ki he kelekele; pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu, ʻo ne fakafetaʻi, mo tofitofi, pea ʻange ki heʻene kau ākonga ke tufaki; pea naʻa nau tufaki [ia ]ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai.
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.
7 Pea naʻa nau maʻu mo e ngaahi ika iiki: pea ne ne tāpuaki, mo fekau ke tufaki foki ia.
They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 Pea naʻa nau kai, ʻo mākona: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai ko e kato ʻe fitu.
They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e toko fā afe nai: pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke nau ʻalu.
Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Pea heka vaka leva ia mo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo haʻu ki he potu ʻo Talamanutā.
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Pea ʻalu ange ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻo kamata fakafehuʻi kiate ia, mo kumi ʻiate ia ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi, ko hono ʻahiʻahiʻi.
The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
12 Pea mafulu lahi ia ʻi hono laumālie, mo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku kumi ai ʻe he toʻutangata ni ha fakaʻilonga? Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE ʻikai tuku ha fakaʻilonga ki he toʻutangata ni.”
He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."
13 Pea ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo toe heka vaka, mo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha.
And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
14 Pea kuo ngalo[ʻi he kau ākonga ]ke ʻave ha mā, pea ko e foʻi mā pe taha naʻe ʻi he vaka mo kinautolu.
Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 Pea naʻa ne naʻinaʻi kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Tokanga, pea vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi, pea mo e meʻa fakatupu ʻa Helota.”
He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
16 Pea fealēleaʻaki ai ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau taʻeʻomi ha mā.”
And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.
17 Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe [ia ]kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou alea ai, ʻi he ʻikai haʻamou mā? ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou mamata, pe ʻilo? ʻOku kei fefeka homou loto?
He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18 ʻOku mou mata, kae ʻikai te mou mamata? Pea telinga, kae ʻikai ongoʻi? Pea ʻoku ʻikai te mou manatu?
Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
19 ʻI heʻeku tofitofi ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima ki he toko nima afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “E hongofulu ma ua.”
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."
20 “Pea ko e fitu ki he toko fā afe, naʻe fiha ʻae kato naʻe pito ʻi he toenga ne mou ʻave?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻE fitu.”
"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
21 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā nai ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo?”
He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
22 Pea haʻu ia ki Petesaita: pea naʻa nau ʻomi kiate ia ʻae tangata kui, ʻonau kole kiate ia ke ne ala ki ai.
He came to Beth-Sayada. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Yeshua to touch him.
23 Pea puke ʻe ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kui, ʻo tataki ia kituʻa mei he potu kakai; pea kuo ne ʻaʻanu ki hono mata, mo ʻai hono nima kiate ia, pea ne fehuʻi kiate ia, pe ʻoku ne mamata ki ha meʻa.
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 Pea hanga hake ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou mamata ki he kakai ʻoku hangē ko e ngaahi ʻakau, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva.”
He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
25 Pea hili ia, pea ne toe ʻai hono nima ki hono mata, pea fekau kiate ia ke ne hanga hake: pea naʻe moʻui ia, ʻo ne mamata totonu ki he kakai kotoa pē.
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
26 Pea ne fekau ia ki hono fale, mo ne pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu ki he potu kakai, pe tala [ia ]ki ha taha ʻi he potu kakai.”
He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
27 Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, mo ʻene kau ākonga, ki he ngaahi potu kakai ʻo Sesalia ʻi Filipai: pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga ʻi he hala, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he kakai pe ko hai au?”
Yeshua went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Qesarya Dephilipus. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
28 Pea nau pehēange, “Ko Sione ko e Papitaiso: kae[pehē ]ʻe he niʻihi, ko ʻIlaisiā; pea [pehē ]ʻe he niʻihi, ko e taha ʻoe kau palōfita.”
And they said to him, saying, "Yukhanan the Baptist, and others say Eliya, but others: one of the prophets."
29 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu ko hai au?” Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko koe, ko e Kalaisi.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Kipha answered, "You are the Meshikha."
30 Pea fekau ʻe ia kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ia ki ha taha.
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 Pea kamata fakahā ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kātaki ʻe he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, pea siʻaki ia ʻe he mātuʻa, mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia, pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻe toe tuʻu.”
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻilongofua ʻaki ʻae lea ko ia. Pea ʻave ia ʻe Pita, ʻo ne kamata valokiʻi ia.
He spoke to them openly. Kipha took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Ka kuo tafoki ia ki mui, ʻo vakai ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea valokiʻi ʻe ia ʻa Pita, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ki hoku tuʻa, Sētane: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke leleiʻia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae tangata.”
But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Kipha, and said, "Get behind me, Satana. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of humans."
34 Pea kuo ui ʻe ia ʻae kakai mo ʻene kau ākonga foki, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke muimui ʻiate au, ke ne siʻaki ʻe ia ia, kae toʻo ʻene kavenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.
He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 He ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia: ka ko ia ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au mo e ongoongolelei, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki ha tangata, ʻo kapau ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻa māmani kotoa pē, kae mole hono laumālie ʻoʻona?
For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
37 Pe ko e hā ʻe foaki ʻe ha tangata ke fetongi ʻaki hono laumālie?
Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
38 Ko ia ia ʻe mā kiate au, mo ʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻi he toʻutangata feʻauaki mo angahala ni, ʻe ma foki ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ʻiate ia, ʻoka haʻu ia ʻi he nāunau ʻo ʻene Tamai, mo e kau ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
