< Luke 4 >

1 Naʻe liu mai ʻa Sisu mei Sioatani, kuo fonu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻe tataki [ia ]ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa.
Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, all the time tempted by the devil.
2 Pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻe he tēvolo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu. Pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai te ne kai ai ha meʻa: pea hili ia, naʻa ne fiekaia.
He ate nothing during these days, and at the close of them he was hungry.
3 Pea pehē ʻe he tēvolo kiate ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fekau ki he maka ni ke liliu ko e mā.”
The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God tell this stone to become bread."
4 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tohi, ‘ʻE ʻikai moʻui ʻae tangata ʻi he mā pe, ka ʻi he folofola kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua.’”
And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written that not by bread alone shall man live."
5 Pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he moʻunga māʻolunga, ʻo fakahā fakafokifā pe kiate ia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
And the devil led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time, and the devil said to him.
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tēvolo kiate ia, “Te u ʻatu moʻou ʻae mālohi ni kotoa pē, mo hono nāunau: he kuo tuku mai ia kiate au; pea ʻoku ou foaki ia ko ʻeku faʻiteliha.
"To you will I give all this authority and this glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
7 Ko ia kapau te ke hū kiate au, ʻe ʻoʻou ia kotoa pē.”
"If then you will worship me, it shall all be yours."
8 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Sētane, ke ke ʻalu ki hoku tuʻa; he kuo tohi, ‘Ke ke hū kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ko ia pe te ke tauhi.’”
"It is written," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
9 Pea ne ʻomi ia ki Selūsalema, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he tuʻa falelotu lahi, pea pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua, fakatō koe ʻi heni ki lalo:
Then he brought him to Jerusalem, and caused him to stand upon the Temple roof, and said to him. "If you really are the Son of God throw yourself down here;
10 He kuo tohi, ‘ʻE fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngelo kiate koe, ke nau tauhiʻi koe;
for it is written, "He shall give his angels charge of thee, to guard thee safely;
11 Pea, ‘Te nau hapahapai koe, telia naʻa touʻia ho vaʻe ʻi ha maka.’”
"They will bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy food against a stone."
12 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ka kuo pehē, ‘ʻOua te ke ʻahiʻahi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.’”
"It has been said," replied Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God."
13 Pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe he tēvolo ʻae ʻahiʻahi kotoa pē, naʻe ʻalu ia ʻiate ia ʻo fuoloa [siʻi].
So, after exhausting on him every kind of temptation, the devil left him for a time.
14 Pea foki atu ʻa Sisu ki Kāleli, ʻi he mālohi ʻoe Laumālie: pea naʻe mafola hono ongoongo ki he potu fonua ko ia kotoa pē.
Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and his fame spread throughout all the surrounding country,
15 Pea ako ia ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu, pea fakamālō ai ʻae kakai fulipē.
and he began to teach in their synagogues, and was glorified by all.
16 Pea haʻu ia ki Nāsaleti, ʻaia naʻe tupu ai ia: pea hū ia ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai, pea tuʻu hake ke lautohi.
Then he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. and, as was his custom, he entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up to read.
17 Pea naʻe ʻatu kiate ia ʻae tohi ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia. Pea ʻi heʻene folahi ʻae tohi, naʻa ne ʻilo ʻae potu kuo tohi ai, [ʻo pehē],
And there was handed him the roll of the prophet Isaiah; and unrolling it he found the place where it was written,
18 “ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova, Koeʻuhi kuo ne fakanofo au ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he masiva; Kuo ne fekau au ke fakamoʻui ʻae loto mafesi, Ke malangaʻaki ʻae huhuʻi ki he kau pōpula, Mo e fakaʻā ʻoe kui, Ke veteange ʻakinautolu kuo lavea,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me Because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim release to the prisoners, And recovery of sight to the blind; To set at liberty those that are bruised,
19 Ke malangaʻaki ʻae taʻu lelei ʻo Sihova.”
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 Pea ne takai ʻe ia ʻae tohi, ʻo ʻange ki he tauhi, pea nofo hifo. Pea sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia ʻae mata ʻokinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he falelotu.
Then rolling up the papyrus, he gave it back to the attendant and sat down.
21 Pea ne fua lea ia kiate kinautolu, “Kuo fakamoʻoni ʻi he ʻaho ni ʻae tohi ko eni ʻi homou telinga.”
The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him, and he began to say to them, "Today is this scripture fulfilled in your hearing."
22 Pea naʻa nau fakamālō kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻonau ofo ʻi he ngaahi lea mālie naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono fofonga. Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻIkai ko e foha eni ʻo Siosefa?”
And they all spoke well of him, and marveled at the words of charm that fell from his lips. "Is not this the son of Joseph?" they asked.
23 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ko e moʻoni te mou lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate au, ‘Faitoʻo, fakamoʻui koe:’ pea ko ia kotoa pē kuo mau fanongo kuo fai ʻi Kapaneume, fai foki ʻi heni ʻi ho fonua.”
Jesus answered. "Doubtless you will quote the proverb to me, "Physician, heal thyself! Do also here in your own country all that we hear that you have done in Capernaum."
24 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe ʻofeina ʻi hono fonua.
"I tell you in solemn truth," he added, "that no prophet is acceptable in his own country.
25 Ka ʻoku ou tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, naʻe tokolahi ʻae fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻIlaisiā, ʻi he lolotonga ʻae tāpuni ʻoe langi, ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu mo e māhina ʻe ono, pea naʻe honge lahi ʻae fonua kotoa;
In very truth I tell you there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;
26 Ka naʻe ʻikai fekau ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ka ki he fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti ʻi Salepita ʻi Saitoni.
"yet Elijah was not sent to any one of them, but only to a widow in Zarephath in Sidon.
27 Pea naʻe tokolahi ʻae kilia ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻIlaisiā ko e palōfita; ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakamaʻa ha taha ʻiate kinautolu, ka ko Neamani ko e Silia.”
"And there were many lepers in Israel in the days of the prophet Elisha, yet none of them was cleansed but only Naaman the Syrian."
28 Pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he falelotu, naʻa nau mātuʻaki lili ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni,
When they had heard these words, those in the synagogue were filled with fury;
29 ‌ʻO nau tutuʻu, pea kapusi ia kituaʻā kolo, ʻo tataki ia ki he matanga ʻoe moʻunga ʻaia naʻe tuʻu ai ʻenau kolo, koeʻuhi ke nau lī ia ʻi he lilifa ki lalo.
they rose, hurried him outside the town, and brought him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, intending to cast him down headlong.
30 Ka naʻe ʻalu ia mei honau lotolotonga, pea mole atu ia,
But he, passing through the midst of them, took his departure.
31 ‌ʻO ne ʻalu hifo ki Kapaneume, ko e kolo ʻo Kāleli, ʻo ne ako kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate.
Then he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and continued to teach the people on the Sabbath Days.
32 Pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki he naʻe lea ia ʻi he mālohi.
They were deeply impressed by his teaching because his speech was with authority.
33 Pea naʻe ʻi he falelotu ʻae tangata, naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻoe tēvolo ʻuli, pea naʻe kalanga ia, ʻo leʻo lahi,
And there was in the synagogue a man possessed by the spirit of a foul demon. He cried out, in a loud voice, saying.
34 ‌ʻO pehē, “ʻE Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, tuku ai pe; ko e hā ʻakimautolu kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻOku ou ʻilo koe; ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
"Ha! Jesus of Nazareth, what business have you with us? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, you holy one of God!"
35 Pea lolomi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakalongo pe, pea ke haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia.” Pea kuo lī [ʻae tangata ]ʻe he tēvolo ki he haʻohaʻonga pea haʻu ia kituʻa ʻiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakamamahi kiate ia.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quiet! Come out of him." And when the demon had thrown the man down before them, he came out of him without doing him any harm.
36 Pea naʻa nau ofo lahi ai kotoa pē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā ʻae akonaki ni! He ʻoku ne fekau ʻi he pule mo e mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoku nau haʻu kituʻa.”
All were amazed, and began to ask one another, saying. "What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits and they come out."
37 Pea naʻe mafola hono ongoongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ia.
And the talk about him spread into every locality in the surrounding country.
38 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia, mei he falelotu, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo Saimone. Pea ko e faʻē ʻae uaifi ʻo Saimone kuo pukea ʻi he mofi lahi; pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia koeʻuhi ko ia.
Now when he rose and left the synagogue, he entered into the house of Simon, where Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of a great fever. And they kept entreating him for her.
39 Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake kiate ia, ʻo taʻofi ʻae mofi, pea mahuʻi ia: ka ka tuʻu leva ia, ʻo tauhi ʻakinautolu.
And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and at once she arose and ministered unto them.
40 Pea kuo tō ʻae laʻā, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ai haʻanau mahaki ʻi he mahaki kehekehe, naʻe ʻomi ʻakinautolu kiate ia; pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate kinautolu taki taha, ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
At sunset all they who had any sick with any sort of disease brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
41 Pea haʻu kituʻa ʻae kau tēvolo mei he tokolahi, ʻonau kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Ko koe ʻae Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.” Pea ne lolomi ʻakinautolu ke ʻoua ʻe fakahā ʻoku nau ʻilo ia ko e Kalaisi.
Demons also came out of many, screaming and saying, "You are the Son of God." But he rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
42 Pea kuo ʻaho, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo nofo ʻi ha potu lala: pea kumi ia ʻe he kakai, ʻonau omi kiate ia, pea naʻa nau taʻofia ia, ke ʻoua naʻa ne ʻalu ʻiate kinautolu.
And when it was daybreak he left the town, and went away to a solitary place; and the crowd kept seeking him. Coming at length upon him, they attempted to detain him so that he should not leave them.
43 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku totonu ke u malangaʻaki ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi kolo kehe foki he ko ia kuo fekau ai au.”
But he said to them. "I must preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to the other towns also; for that is what I was sent to do."
44 Pea malanga ʻe ia ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻo Kāleli.
So he continued to preach in the synagogues of Galilee.
