Maʻake 9
1 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ai ʻae niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku tutuʻu ʻi heni, ʻe ʻikai te nau kamata ʻae mate, kaeʻoua ke nau mamata ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku hoko mai mo e mālohi.”
And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in power.”
2 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe ono, pea ʻave ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, ko kinautolu pe, ʻo ne tataki ʻakinautolu ki he moʻunga māʻolunga: pea naʻe liliu ia ʻi honau ʻao.
And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, and He was transfigured before them,
3 Pea fetapatapaki hono kofu, ʻo mātuʻaki hinehina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina: pea ʻe ʻikai ha tufunga fō tupenu ʻi māmani ʻe faʻa fakahinehina ke pehē.
and His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them].
4 Pea hā ai kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo Mōsese; pea nau alea mo Sisu.
And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5 Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehē kia Sisu, “ʻEiki, ʻoku lelei ʻetau ʻi heni: pea tuku ke mau ngaohi ha fale ʻe tolu: ke ʻoʻou ʻae taha, pea taha ʻo Mōsese, pea taha ʻo ʻIlaisiā.”
And Peter answering says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one”:
6 He naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻoku ne leaʻaki; he naʻa nau ilifia lahi.
for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.
7 Pea naʻe fakamaluʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ʻao: pea ongo mai mei he ʻao ʻae leʻo ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga eni: fanongo kiate ia.”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him”;
8 Pea fakafokifā pe, kuo nau fesiosiofaki, pea ʻikai kenau toe ʻilo ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe mo kinautolu.
and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves.
9 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu hifo mei he moʻunga, naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha taha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo nau mamata ki ai, kaeʻoua ke toetuʻu ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata mei he pekia.
And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead;
10 Pea naʻa nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae lea ko ia, ʻonau fefehuʻiʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, “Pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe toetuʻu mei he pekia.”
and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.
11 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku pehē ai ʻe he kau tangata tohi, ʻe tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā?”
And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
12 Pea leaange ʻe ia, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tomuʻa haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo fakatonutonu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē; pea hangē ko ia kuo tohi ki he Foha ʻoe tangata, ʻe kātaki foki ʻe ia ʻae meʻa lahi, pea manukia ia.”
And He answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may suffer many things, and be set at nothing?
13 Ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, “Kuo haʻu moʻoni ʻa ʻIlaisiā, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea kuo nau fai kiate ia ʻenau faʻiteliha.”
But I say to you that also Elijah has come, and they did to him what they willed, as it has been written of him.”
14 Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he kau ākonga, pea ne mamata ki he fuʻu kakai ʻoku kāpui ʻakinautolu, mo e kau tangata tohi ʻoku kikihi mo kinautolu.
And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning with them,
15 Pea kuo mamata leva ʻae kakai fulipē kiate ia, pea nau ofo lahi, ʻonau feleleʻi mo fetapa kiate ia.
and immediately, all the multitude having seen Him, were amazed, and running near, were greeting Him.
16 Pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki he kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakikihi ai mo kinautolu?”
And He questioned the scribes, “What do you dispute with them?”
17 Pea lea ʻae tokotaha ʻi he kakai, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo u ʻomi kiate koe hoku foha, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie noa:
And one out of the multitude answering said, “Teacher, I brought my son to You, having a mute spirit;
18 Pea ko e potu kotoa pē ʻoku ne puke ai ia, ʻoku ne haʻaki ia; pea koā ia, mo fengaiʻitaki hono nifo, pea ʻoku ne fakaʻaʻau ʻo vaivai: pea ne u lea ki hoʻo kau ākonga ke nau kapusi ia; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai.”
and wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spoke to Your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.”
19 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻAe toʻutangata taʻetui! ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻoe tau nonofo? ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo ʻeku kātaki ʻakimoutolu? ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will I suffer you? Bring him to Me”;
20 Pea nau ʻomi ia kiate ia; pea kuo mamata ia ki ai, pea haʻaki leva ia ʻe he laumālie; pea tō ia ki he kelekele, mo mokofisi pea Koa [hono ngutu].
and they brought him to Him, and he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—foaming.
21 Pea fehuʻi ia ki heʻene tamai, “Kuo fēfē hono fuoloa talu ʻene hoko eni kiate ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talu ʻene tamasiʻi.”
And He questioned his father, “How much time is it since this came to him?” And he said, “From childhood,
22 Pea kuo liunga lahi ʻae lī ia ki he afi, pea mo e vai, ke tāmateʻi ia: pea kapau te ke faʻa fai ha meʻa, ke ke ʻaloʻofa kiate kimautolu, ʻo tokoni ʻakimautolu.
and many times it also cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if You are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.”
23 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Kapau ʻoku ke faʻa tui, ʻoku faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku tui.”
And Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe! All things are possible to the one that is believing”;
24 Pea tangi loʻimata leva ʻae tamai ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui; ke ke tokoniʻi au telia ʻeku taʻetui.”
and immediately the father of the child, having cried out with tears, said, “I believe, Lord; be helping my unbelief.”
25 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu ʻoku feleleʻi mai ʻae kakai ʻo fakataha, pea ne tautea ʻae laumālie ʻuli, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻA koe, ko e laumālie noa mo tuli, ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe, haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia, pea ʻoua naʻa ke toe hū ki ai.”
Jesus having seen that a multitude runs together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Spirit—mute and deaf—I charge you, come forth out of him, and you may no longer enter into him”;
26 Pea tangi [ʻae laumālie], ʻo ne haʻaki ia ʻo lahi, pea haʻu kituʻa: pea naʻe tatau [ʻae tangata ]mo ha taha mate; ko ia ne pehē ai ʻe he tokolahi, “Kuo mate ia.”
and having cried, and convulsed him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 Ka naʻe puke ia ʻe Sisu ʻi hono nima, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; pea ne tuʻu hake.
but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
28 Pea kuo hū ia ki fale, pea fehuʻi fakafufū ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mau faʻa kapusi ia?”
And He having come into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it forth?”
29 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai haʻu kituʻa ʻae faʻahinga ni ʻi ha meʻa, kae ʻi he lotu mo e ʻaukai.”
And He said to them, “This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.”
30 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai, ʻonau ʻalu ʻi Kāleli; pea naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.
And having gone forth there, they were passing through Galilee, and He did not wish that any may know,
31 He naʻe akonakiʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “E tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fakapoongi ia; pea hili hono fakapoongi, ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
for He was teaching His disciples, and He said to them, “The Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and having been killed, the third day He will rise,”
32 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ko ia, pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia.
but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
33 Pea haʻu ia ki Kapaneume: pea fehuʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene nofo ʻi he fale, “Ko e hā ia naʻa mou fakakikihi ai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he hala?”
And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”
34 Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pē: he naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻe lahi hake.
And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;
35 Pea nofo hifo ia, ʻo ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kapau ʻoku holi ha tangata ke muʻomuʻa, ʻe ki mui ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē.”
and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.”
36 Pea toʻo ʻe ia ha tamasiʻi siʻi ʻo ne tuku ia ki honau haʻohaʻonga: pea kuo fua hake ia ʻi hono nima, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu,
And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them,
37 “Ko ia ia te ne maʻu ha tamasiʻi pehē ʻi hoku hingoa, ʻoku ne maʻu au: pea ko ia ia te ne maʻu au, ʻoku ʻikai ko au [pe ]ʻoku ne maʻu, ka ko ia ne ne fekau au.”
“Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
38 Pea leaange ʻa Sione, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, naʻa mau mamata ki he tokotaha ʻoku kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi ho huafa, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ia kiate kitautolu: pea naʻa mau taʻofi kiate ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai muimui kiate kitautolu.”
And John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in Your Name, who does not follow us, and we forbade him, because he does not follow us.”
39 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sisu, “ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ia: he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne fai ha meʻa mana ʻi hoku huafa, ʻe faʻa lea kovi noa pe kiate au.
And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me:
40 He ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku kau taha ia mo kitautolu.
for he who is not against us is for us;
41 He ko ia ʻe ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ha vai ke inu ʻi hoku huafa, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻakimoutolu, ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻe ʻikai mole ʻiate ia hono totongi.
for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in My Name, because you are Christ’s, truly I say to you, he may not lose his reward;
42 “Pea ko ia ia ʻe fakahalaʻi ha tokotaha ʻiate kinautolu ni ʻoku siʻi ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻe lelei hake kiate ia ʻo ka ne taupungaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maka momosi ʻi hono kia, pea lī ia ki he moana.
and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.
43 Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho nima, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke nima mutu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae nima ʻe ua, kae ʻalu ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi; (Geenna g1067)
And if your hand may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having the two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
44 ʻAia ‘ʻOku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
45 Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi koe ʻeho vaʻe, tutuʻu ia: ʻoku lelei kiate koe ke ke hū ki he moʻui ʻoku ke ketu, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae vaʻe ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki heli, ki he afi ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa tāmateʻi; (Geenna g1067)
And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having the two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire—the unquenchable— (Geenna g1067)
46 ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.
[[where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.]]
47 Pea kapau ʻe fakahalaʻi Koe ʻeho mata, kapeʻi ia: ʻoku lelei kiate Koe ke ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua mo e mata pe taha, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻae mata ʻe ua, kae lī koe ki he afi ʻo heli; (Geenna g1067)
And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God one-eyed, than having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire— (Geenna g1067)
48 ʻAia ‘ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;
49 “He koeʻuhi ʻe fakamāsima taki taha kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ʻe fakamāsima ʻaki ʻae feilaulau kotoa pē ʻae māsima.
for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
50 “ʻOku lelei ʻae māsima: pea kapau kuo mole ʻi he māsima hono kona, temou [toe ]fakakona fēfeeʻi ia? “Maʻu pe ʻae māsima, kiate kimoutolu, pea mou melino pe ʻakimoutolu.”
The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.”
