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: Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they shall see the kingdom of God to be coming 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.
And after six days, Jesus took Cephas and James and John, and led them to a high mountain, apart; and was transformed 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 raiment shone and was very white, like snow, so as men on earth can never whiten.
4 Pea hā ai kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo Mōsese; pea nau alea mo Sisu.
And there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, in conversation 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 Cephas said to him: Rabbi, it is delightful for us to be here. And let us make three booths; one for thee, and 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.
But he did not know what he said, for they were in trepidation.
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 was a cloud, and it overshadowed them. And a voice issued from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.
8 Pea fakafokifā pe, kuo nau fesiosiofaki, pea ʻikai kenau toe ʻilo ha taha, ka ko Sisu pe mo kinautolu.
And suddenly, when the disciples looked up, they saw no one with them, except Jesus only.
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 descended the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should be 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.”
And they kept that saying in their mind; and inquired, What doth this saying mean: " When he shall be risen from the dead!"
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 asked him, and said: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come?
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.”
He said to them: Elijah truly first cometh, to prepare all things: and, as it is written of the Son of man, he will suffer much, 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 say to you: That Elijah hath come; and they have done to him all that they desired, as it was 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 when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude with them, and the Scribes disputing with them.
15 Pea kuo mamata leva ʻae kakai fulipē kiate ia, pea nau ofo lahi, ʻonau feleleʻi mo fetapa kiate ia.
And immediately the multitude saw him, and were surprised: and they ran and saluted him.
16 Pea fehuʻi ʻe ia ki he kau tangata tohi, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakakikihi ai mo kinautolu?”
And he asked the Scribes: What were ye disputing 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 of the multitude replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a spirit that will not speak.
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 he seizeth him, he shaketh and teareth him: and he gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, to cast him out; and they could not.
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.”
Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long bear 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].
And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed.
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 Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his 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 hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.
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 thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth.
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 cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.
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.”
And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter 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 the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead.
27 Ka naʻe puke ia ʻe Sisu ʻi hono nima, ʻo fokotuʻu ia; pea ne tuʻu hake.
And Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up.
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 Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast him 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.”
He saith to them: This kind can come out, by nothing but fasting and prayer.
30 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei ai, ʻonau ʻalu ʻi Kāleli; pea naʻe ʻikai loto ia ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha.
And when he departed from there, they passed through Galilee: and he desired that no one might know him.
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 taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on 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 did not understand that speech; and they 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?”
And they came to Capernaum. And when they entered the house, he asked them: What disputed ye among yourselves by the way?
34 Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pē: he naʻa nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻe lahi hake.
And they were silent; for by the way they had contended with one another, which should be the great among them.
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 Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever would be first, let him be last of all, and servitor to 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 he took a child, and set him in the midst, and took him in his arms and 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 receiveth one in my name, like this child, he receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth not me only, but him that 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: Rabbi, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he adhereth not to 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.
Jesus said to them: Forbid him not; for there is no one who doeth mighty works in my name, that can readily speak evil of me.
40 He ko ia ʻoku ʻikai angatuʻu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku kau taha ia mo kitautolu.
Whoever therefore is not against you, is for you.
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 shall give you to drink a cup of water only, on the ground that ye are Messiah's followers, verily I say to you, he will 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 shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble, it were better for him, if a millstone were put to his neck, and he 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 thy hand make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than, having two hands, to go into hell; (Geenna g1067)
44 ʻAia ‘ʻOku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
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 thy foot make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life lamed, than, having two feet, to fall into hell; (Geenna g1067)
46 ʻAia ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
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 thy eye make thee offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter with one eye into the kingdom of God, than, having two eyes, to fall into the hell of fire; (Geenna g1067)
48 ʻAia ‘ʻoku ʻikai mate ai honau ʻuanga, pea ʻikai faʻa tāmateʻi ʻae afi.’
where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not extinguished.
49 “He koeʻuhi ʻe fakamāsima taki taha kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ʻe fakamāsima ʻaki ʻae feilaulau kotoa pē ʻae māsima.
For every thing 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 a good thing: but if the salt become insipid, with what will it be salted? Let there be salt in you: and be ye in peace, one with another.
