Mātiu 15
1 Pea toki haʻu ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e Fālesi ʻo Selūsalema, kia Sisu, ʻonau pehē,
Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
2 “Ko e hā ʻoku liʻaki ai ʻe hoʻo kau ākonga ʻae talatupuʻa ʻae kau mātuʻa? He ʻoku ʻikai te nau fanofano honau nima ʻoka nau ka kai mā.”
“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
3 Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou liʻaki ai foki ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻomou talatupuʻa?
And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
4 He kuo fekau ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehē, ‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo [hoʻo ]faʻē:’ pea, ‘Ko ia ʻe kapeʻi [ʻene ]tamai pe ko [ʻene ]faʻē, tuku ke mate tāmateʻi ia.’
For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
5 Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu, ‘Ko ia ʻe pehē ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, “Kuo fakatapui ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ou faʻa ʻaonga ai kiate koe,”
but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
6 pea ʻoku ʻikai toe fakaʻapaʻapa ia ki heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, [ʻe ʻataʻatā ia].’ Ko ia ʻoku mou fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻae fekau ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻomou talatupuʻa.
and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
7 ʻAe kau mālualoi! Neʻineʻi lea ʻa ʻIsaia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē,
Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
8 ‘ʻOku ʻunuʻunu mai ʻae kakai ni kiate au ʻaki honau ngutu, ʻo fakaʻapaʻapa kiate au ʻaki honau loungutu; ka ʻoku mamaʻo honau loto ʻiate au.
This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
9 Ka ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻenau hū kiate au, ʻo akonaki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae tangata pe.’”
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
10 Pea ui ia ki he kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fanongo, pea tokanga:
And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
11 ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻuli ki he tangata ʻaia ʻoku ʻalu ki he ngutu; ka ko ia ʻoku haʻu mei he ngutu, ʻoku ne fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.”
[it is] not that which is coming into the mouth [that] defiles the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defiles the man.”
12 Pea toki haʻu ai ʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe tūkia ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he lea ko ia?”
Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
13 Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “Ko e ʻakau kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai tō ʻe heʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi, ʻe taʻaki fuʻu hake ia.
And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
14 Tuku ai pe ʻakinautolu: ko e kau takimuʻa kui ʻoe kui ʻakinautolu. Pea kapau ʻoku tataki ʻae kui ʻe he kui, ʻe tō fakatouʻosi pe ki he luo.”
leave them alone, they are guides—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Fakamatala kiate kimautolu ʻae fakatātā ni.”
And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
16 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻOku mou kei taʻeʻilo foki?
And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
17 ʻOku teʻeki ai te mou ʻilo, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku ʻalu ia ki he kete, pea toki ʻalu hifo kituʻa?
Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
18 Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻi he ngutu, ʻoku haʻu mei he loto: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata.
But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
19 He ʻoku haʻu mei he loto ʻae mahalo kovi, mo e fakapō, mo e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e kaihaʻa, mo e fakamoʻoni loi, mo e lea kovi:
for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
20 Ko eni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakaʻuliʻi ʻae tangata: ka ko e kai taʻefanofano nima, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻuliʻi ia ʻae tangata.”
these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
21 Pea toki ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, ki he ngaahi potu ʻo Taia mo Saitone.
And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
22 Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine Kēnani mei he potu ko ia, ʻo tangi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAloʻofa mai kiate au, ʻe ʻEiki, ko e foha ʻo Tevita; ko ʻeku taʻahine ʻoku mamahi lahi ʻi he tēvolo.”
and behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those borders, called to Him, saying, “Deal kindly with me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.”
23 Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi te ne lea kiate ia. Pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ia ke ʻalu; he ʻoku ne tangi toupili mai kiate kitautolu.”
And He did not answer her a word; and His disciples having come to Him, were asking Him, saying, “Let her away, because she cries after us”;
24 Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai fekau au ka ki he fanga sipi he ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIsileli.”
and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Pea toki haʻu ia, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, tokoniʻi au.”
And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
26 Ka naʻe lea ia, ʻo pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke toʻo ʻae mā ʻae fānau, pea lī ki he fanga kulī.”
and He answering said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.”
27 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻEiki: ka ʻoku kai ʻe he fanga kulī ʻae momoʻi [meʻakai ]ʻoku ngangana mei he keinangaʻanga ʻa honau ʻeiki.”
And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
28 Pea toki lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻE fefine, ʻoku lahi hoʻo tui: ke hoko kiate koe ʻo hangē ko ho loto.” Pea moʻui ʻene taʻahine ʻi he feituʻulaʻā ko ia.
then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith, let it be to you as you will”; and her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Pea ʻalu mei ai ʻa Sisu, pea haʻu ia, ʻo ofi ki he tahi ʻo Kaleli; pea ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga, ʻo nofo ai.
And having departed from there, Jesus came near to the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, He was sitting there,
30 Pea haʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi kiate ia, pea nau ʻomi ʻae pipiki, mo e kui, mo e noa, mo e lavea, mo e tokolahi kehe, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu; pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻakinautolu:
and there came to Him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them,
31 Ko ia naʻe ofo lahi ai ʻae kakai, ʻi heʻenau mamata kuo fakalea ʻae noa, pea fakahaohaoa ʻae lavea, pea fakaʻeveʻeva ʻae pipiki, pea fakaʻā ʻae kui: pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
so that the multitudes wondered, seeing mute ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Pea ui ʻa Sisu ke ʻalu ange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻofa mamahi ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻaho tolu ʻenau ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau meʻa ke kai: pea ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa fekau ke nau ʻalu ʻaukai pe, telia naʻa nau pongia ʻi he hala.”
And Jesus having called near His disciples, said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they do not have what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.”
33 Pea lea ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “Te tau maʻu mei fē ʻi he toafa ni ʻae mā lahi, ke fakamākona ʻaki ʻae fuʻu kakai pehē ni?”
And His disciples say to Him, “From where to us in a wilderness [will we get] so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?”
34 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fiha hoʻomou foʻi mā?” Pea nau pehē, “ʻOku fitu, mo e fanga kihiʻi ika.”
And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
35 Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki he kelekele.
And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
36 Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae foʻi mā ʻe fitu mo e ngaahi ika, pea fai ʻae fakafetaʻi, pea tofitofi ia, ʻo ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea [tufaki ]ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
37 Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, pea mākona ai: pea nau tānaki ʻae toenga kai pea fonu ai ʻae kato ʻe fitu.
And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
38 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko fā afe, kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
39 Pea fekau ʻe ia ʻae kakai ke nau ʻalu, pea heka vaka ia ʻo folau ki he potu ʻo Makitala.
And having let away the multitudes, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Magdala.
