Luke 5
1 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kenesaleti, naʻe lolofi mai kiate ia ʻae kakai ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 Pea mamata ia ki he vaka ʻe ua ʻoku toka ʻi he veʻe ano: ka kuo ʻalu mei ai ʻae kau toutai ika, ʻonau fō honau ngaahi kupenga.
that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Pea heka ia ki he vaka ʻe taha, ʻaia naʻe ʻo Saimone, pea ne kole kiate ia ke tukutuku siʻi mei ʻuta. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ia, ʻo akonaki ki he kakai mei he vaka.
And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.
4 Pea kuo hili ʻene lea, pea pehē ʻe ia kia Saimone, “Maʻu atu ki he loloto, pea ʻaʻau homou ngaahi kupenga koeʻuhi kae fusi hake.”
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Pea lea ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kuo mau ngāue ʻanepō ʻo ʻaho, ka naʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻi hoʻo fekau te u ʻaʻau ʻae kupenga.”
And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.
6 Pea kuo nau fai ia, pea nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ika ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea kamata mahae honau kupenga.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break;
7 Pea nau taʻalo ki heʻenau kaunga [toutai ika ]ʻi he vaka ʻe taha, ke nau haʻu ʻo tokoni ʻakinautolu. Pea naʻa nau omi, ʻo fakapito ʻae vaka fakatouʻosi, pea na kamata ngalo hifo.
and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Saimone Pita, pea fakatōmapeʻe ia ki he tui ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ʻalu ʻiate au; he ko e tangata angahala au.”
And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 He naʻe ofo ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻi he ngaahi ika kuo maʻu:
For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;
10 Pea pehē foki ʻa Semisi, mo Sione ko e ongo foha ʻo Sepeti, ko e kaunga toutai mo Saimone. Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kia Saimone, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē; ngata heni te ke [toutai ]tangata.”
and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.
11 Pea kuo ʻomi honau ongo vaka ki ʻuta, naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa pē, ʻo muimui kiate ia.
And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.
12 Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene ʻi he kolo ʻe taha, pea vakai, ko e tangata kuo fonu ʻi he kilia: pea ne mamata kia Sisu, mo tō fakafoʻohifo, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kapau ko ho loto ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 Pea mafao ʻe ia hono nima, ʻo ala ki ai mo ne pehē, “Ko hoku loto: ke ke maʻa koe.” Pea mahuʻi leva ʻiate ia ʻae kilia.
And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.
14 Pea ne fekau ia, “Ke ʻoua naʻa tala ki ha taha: kae ʻalu, ʻo fakahā koe ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ke ʻange koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ʻo fakatatau [mo ia ]naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.
15 Ka naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae mafola ʻa hono ongoongo: pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻaupito ke fanongo, pea koeʻuhi ke ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi mahamahaki.
But his fame went abroad the more; and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be cured by him of their infirmities.
16 Pea naʻe ʻalu ia [mei ai ]ki he toafa, ʻo lotu ai.
And he withdrew to the deserts and prayed.
17 Pea pehē, ko e ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻi heʻene akonaki, naʻe nofo ai ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau akonaki ʻi he fono, kuo nau omi mei he potu kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kāleli, mo Siutea, mo Selūsalema: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻoe ʻEiki ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.
18 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau tangata ʻae tangata ʻi [hono ]mohenga kuo pukea ʻi he mahaki tete: pea naʻa nau feinga pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, ke tuku ʻi hono ʻao.
And behold, men brought, on a bed, a man who was a paralytic. And they sought how they might bring him in, and lay him before him.
19 Pea kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe fēfeeʻi hono lava mai ki loto, koeʻuhi ko e kakai, naʻa nau ʻohake ia kituʻa fale, ʻo tukutuku hifo ia ʻi he ʻato ʻi he mohenga ki he haʻohaʻonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sisu.
And finding no way by which they could bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up on the top of the house, and, through the tiling, let him down, with his bed, into the midst before Jesus.
20 Pea kuo mamata ʻe ia ki heʻenau tui, pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Tangata, kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”
And when he saw their faith, he said to him: Man, your sins are forgiven you.
21 Pea fakakaukau leva ʻae kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi, ʻonau pehē, “Ko hai eni ʻoku ne lea fie ʻOtua? Ko hai te ne faʻa fakamolemole ʻae angahala, ka ko e ʻOtua pe?”
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that utters impious words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu ʻenau mahalo, pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou femahaloʻaki ai ʻi homou loto?
But Jesus perceived their reasonings, and answered and said to them: Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 He ʻoku faingofua ʻa fē, ke lea, ‘Kuo fakamolemole kiate koe hoʻo ngaahi angahala;’ pe ko e lea, ‘Tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu?’
Which is easier, to say., Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise and walk?
24 Ka koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻoku ʻi he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻae mālohi ʻi māmani ke fakamolemole ʻae angahala,” (pea pehē ʻe ia ki he mahaki tete, ) “ʻOku ou pehē atu kiate koe, Tuʻu hake, ʻo toʻo ho mohenga, pea ke ke ʻalu ki ho fale.”
But that you may know that the Son of man on the earth has power to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, ) I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
25 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake leva ia ʻi honau ʻao, pea ne toʻo mai ʻaia naʻe tokoto ai, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fale, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
And he immediately arose before them, took up that on which he had been lying, and went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Pea nau ofo ai kotoa pē, mo nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, pea fonu ʻi he manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo tau mamata ʻi he ʻaho ni ki he ngaahi meʻa foʻou!”
And astonishment seized upon all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying: We have seen strange things to-day.
27 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne mamata ki he tangata tānaki tukuhau, ko Livai hono hingoa, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he tukuhauʻanga; pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Muimui ʻiate au.”
And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.
28 Pea tukuange ʻe ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo tuʻu hake, pea muimui ʻiate ia.
And leaving all, he arose and followed him.
29 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Livai ʻae kātoanga lahi kiate ia ʻi hono fale: pea naʻe nofo mo kinautolu ʻae kau tānaki tukuhau tokolahi, mo e kakai niʻihi.
And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.
30 Ka naʻe lāunga honau kau tangata tohi mo e kau Fālesi ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou kai mo inu fakataha ai mo e kau tānaki tukuhau mo e angahala?”
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae faitoʻo kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō; ka ki he mahaki.
And Jesus answered arid said to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
32 Naʻe ʻikai te u haʻu ke ui ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ka ko e angahala ke fakatomala.”
I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.
33 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā ʻoku faʻa ʻaukai mo lotu ai ʻae kau ākonga ʻa Sione, mo kinautolu foki ʻoe kau Fālesi; ka ʻoku kai mo inu ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻoʻou.”
And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?
34 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou faʻa pule ke ʻaukai ʻae kāinga ʻoe tangata taʻane, ʻi he kei ʻiate kinautolu ʻae tangata taʻane?
And he said to them: Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Ka ʻe hoko ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻe ʻave ai ʻae tangata taʻane ʻiate kinautolu, pea ko e ngaahi ʻaho ko ia te nau toki ʻaukai ai.”
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; then shall they fast in those days.
36 Pea lea ʻaki foki ʻe ia ʻae fakatātā kiate kinautolu; “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha te ne monomono ʻaki ʻae kofu motuʻa ha konga ʻoe kofu foʻou; ka pehē, ʻe hae [ia ]ʻe he meʻa foʻou, kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku ʻikai fai tatau ʻae konga foʻou mo e motuʻa [kofu].
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one patches an old garment with a piece taken from a new garment. If so, the new tears it, and the patch from the new suits not the old.
37 Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina ʻoku motuʻa; telia naʻa hae ʻe he uaine foʻou ʻae ngaahi hina, pea tafe, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi hina.
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be destroyed.
38 Kae ʻutu ʻae uaine foʻou ki he ngaahi hina foʻou; pea tolonga ai fakatouʻosi.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 ʻOku ʻikai foki ha tangata kuo inu ʻi he [uaine ]motuʻa pea fili leva ia ki he [uaine ]foʻou; he ʻoku ne pehē, ‘ʻOku lelei lahi ʻa e [uaine ]motuʻa.’”
And no one, after drinking old wine, immediately desires new; for he says: The old is better.
