Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Pea kuo nau ofi ki Selūsalema, [ʻo hoko ]ki Petefesi, mo Pētani, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOlive, pea ne fekau atu ʻene ākonga ʻe toko ua,
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
ʻO ne pehē kiate kinaua, “Mo ō ki he potu kakai ʻoku hangatonu mai: pea ka mo ka hū ki ai, te mo ʻilo leva ʻae ʻuhiki [ʻoe ʻasi ]kuo noʻotaki, ʻoku teʻeki heka ai ha tangata; vevete ia, mo taki mai.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
Pea ka pehē ʻe ha taha kiate kimoua, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mo fai ai eni?’ Mo pehēange, ‘ʻOku ʻaonga ia ki he ʻEiki;’ pea te ne tuku leva ke ʻomi ia ki heni.”
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
Pea naʻa na ō, ʻo na ʻilo ʻae ʻuhiki [ʻoe ʻasi ]ʻoku noʻotaki ʻituʻa ʻi he matapā, ʻi he potu ʻoe tefitoʻi hala; pea na vevete ia.
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻamoua ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi?”
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu: pea naʻe tuku ʻakinaua ke na ō.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻuhiki kia Sisu, pea na ʻai ki ai hona ngaahi kofu; pea heka ia ki ai.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Pea folahi ʻe he tokolahi honau ngaahi kofu ʻi he hala; pea tutuʻu hifo ʻe he niʻihi ʻae ʻuluʻuluʻi ʻakau, ʻo falikiliki ʻaki ʻae hala.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe muʻomuʻa, mo kinautolu naʻe muimui, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Hosana; ‘ʻOku monūʻia ia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova!
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
Ke monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ʻo ʻetau tamai ko Tevita, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: Hosana ʻi he fungani māʻolunga.”
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
Pea hoko ʻa Sisu ki Selūsalema, pea [hū ]ki he falelotu lahi: pea kuo vakai foli ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē [ʻi ai, ]pea kuo hokosia ʻae efiafi, naʻa nau ō ki Pētani mo e toko hongofulu ma toko ua.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei Pētani, naʻe fiekaia ia:
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Pea sio mamaʻo atu ia ki he ʻakau ko e fiki ʻoku lau, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo kumi pe te ne ʻilo ai ha [fua ]pe ʻikai: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki ai, naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha meʻa ka ko e lau pe; he naʻe kei tuai ʻae toʻukai fiki.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange ki ai, “Ngata ʻi heni ke ʻoua naʻa toe kai ʻeha taha ha fua ʻiate koe ʻo lauikuonga.” Pea fanongo ki ai ʻene kau ākonga. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki Selūsalema: pea hū ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ne kamata kapusi kituʻa ʻakinautolu naʻe fefakatauʻaki ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo ne fulihi ʻae ngaahi palepale ʻoe kau fetongi paʻanga, mo e ngaahi nofoʻa ʻonautolu naʻe fakatau lupe;
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke ʻalu ha taha mo [ʻene ]kavenga ʻi he falelotu lahi.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Pea ako ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai kuo tohi, ‘Ko hoku fale ʻe ui ko e falelotu ki he kakai kotoa pē?’ Ka kuo mou ngaohi ia ko e ʻana ʻoe kau kaihaʻa.”
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Pea fanongo ki ai ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, pea nau fifili pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau tāmateʻi ia: he naʻa nau manavahē kiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo ofo ʻae kakai fulipē ʻi heʻene akonaki.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Pea kuo hokosia ʻae efiafi, ne ʻalu ia mei he kolo.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau liu mai, ne nau vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki kuo mate mei hono aka.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
Pea fakamanatu ʻe Pita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko e fiki naʻa ke tukitalaʻi kuo mate ia.”
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Mou maʻu ʻae tui ki he ʻOtua.
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
He ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, Ko ia ia te ne pehē ki he moʻunga ni, Hiki koe, pea lī koe ki he tahi; pea ʻikai fakataʻetaʻetui hono loto, ka ʻoku ne tui ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ne lea ʻaki, ʻe hoko ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne lea ki ai.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
Ko ia ʻoku ou pehē ai kiate kimoutolu, Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou holi ki ai, ʻoka mou ka lotu, tui ʻoku mou maʻu [ia], pea te mou maʻu.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Pea ʻoka mou ka tuʻu ʻo lotu, fakamolemole, ʻo kapau ʻoku mou koviʻia ʻi ha taha; koeʻuhi ke fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi hoʻomou ngaahi hia.
Pea ka ʻikai te mou fakamolemole, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.”
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Pea naʻa nau toe haʻu ki Selūsalema: pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he falelotu lahi, naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, mo e mātuʻa,
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia naʻa ne tuku kiate koe ʻae pule ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi kiate kimoutolu foki ki he meʻa ʻe taha, pea mou tala mai kiate au, pea teu tala atu ai kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia? Pe mei he tangata? Tala mai.”
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Pea naʻe fealēleaʻaki ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ pea ʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
Ka tau ka pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’” ʻoku tau manavahē ki he kakai: he ʻoku nau pehē kotoa pē, ko e palōfita moʻoni ʻa Sione.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Pea ne nau lea, ʻo pehēange kia Sisu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mau ʻilo.” Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae pule ko ia ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
