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.”
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with 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.
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of 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.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Pea hā ai kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo Mōsese; pea nau alea mo Sisu.
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, 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.”
Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 He naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻoku ne leaʻaki; he naʻa nau ilifia lahi.
For he did not know what to answer, for they became very 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.”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8 Pea fakafokifā pe, kuo nau fesiosiofaki, pea ʻikai kenau toe ʻilo ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe mo kinautolu.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
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.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from 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.”
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
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?”
They asked him, saying, "Why do 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 said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And why is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be rejected?
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 tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about 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 when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Pea kuo mamata leva ʻae kakai fulipē kiate ia, pea nau ofo lahi, ʻonau feleleʻi mo fetapa kiate ia.
Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
16 Pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki he kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakikihi ai mo kinautolu?”
He asked them, "What are you arguing about 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 crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has 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 throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't 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 answering, he said to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with 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].
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21 Pea fehuʻi ia ki heʻene tamai, “Kuo fēfē hono fuoloa talu ʻene hoko eni kiate ia?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Talu ʻene tamasiʻi.”
He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" 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 it has often cast him both into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help 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.”
Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
24 Pea tangi loʻimata leva ʻae tamai ʻae tamasiʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ou tui; ke ke tokoniʻi au telia ʻeku taʻetui.”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. Help 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.”
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."
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.”
Having screamed, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."
27 Ka naʻe puke ia ʻe Sisu ʻi hono nima, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; pea ne tuʻu hake.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised 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 when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
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 cannot come out by anything but 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.
They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it.
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 said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again."
32 Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae lea ko ia, pea naʻa nau manavahē ke fehuʻi kiate ia.
But they did not understand the saying, and were afraid to ask 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?”
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
34 Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pē: he naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻe lahi hake.
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
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 he sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all, and servant 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,
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he 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 receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives 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.”
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following 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.
But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 He ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku kau taha ia mo kitautolu.
For whoever 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 will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the Christ, truly I tell you, he will in no way 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.
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
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)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 ʻAia ‘ʻOku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
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)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.
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)
If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 ʻAia ‘ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not 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.”
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
