Luke 8
1 Pea pehē, kuo hili ia, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he kolo mo e potu kakai kotoa pē, ʻo malanga mo fakahā ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua,
It happened soon afterward that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God. The twelve were with him,
2 Pea mo e kau fefine naʻe fakamoʻui mei he kau laumālie kovi, mo e ngaahi mahaki, ko Mele ʻoku ui ko Makitaline, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tēvolo ʻe toko fitu,
as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out;
3 Mo Sioana ko e uaifi ʻo Kusa ko e tauhi koloa ʻo Helota, mo Susana, mo e tokolahi kehe, naʻa nau tauhi ʻaki ia ʻenau koloa.
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager; Susanna; and many others, who, out of their possessions, provided for their needs.
4 Pea kuo fakataha mai ʻae fuʻu kakai, kuo haʻu mei he kolo kotoa pē kiate ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ʻi he fakatātā:
While a large crowd of people was gathering, and people were coming to him from town after town, he told a parable:
5 “Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae tangata tūtuuʻi ke tūtuuʻi ʻene tenga; pea ʻi heʻene tūtuuʻi, naʻe mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he veʻe hala: pea malaki hifo ia, pea naʻe kai ʻo ʻosi ia ʻe he fanga manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell beside the road and it was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he maka; pea kuo toki tupu hake ia, pea mae [leva], koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai viviku ia.
Some fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he ʻakau talatala; pea tupu hake mo ia ʻae ʻakau talatala, ʻo kāsia ai ia.
Some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up together with the seed and choked it.
8 Pea mokulu ʻae niʻihi ki he kelekele lelei, ʻo tupu hake, pea tupu ai ʻae fua ʻe teau.” Pea kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea kalanga ia, “Ko ia ʻoku ne telinga. Ongo, ke ongoʻi ia.”
But some fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater.” After Jesus had said these things, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻa ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā nai [hono ʻuhinga ]ʻoe fakatātā ni?”
His disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Kuo tuku ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: ka ki he kakai kehe ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā; koeʻuhi kenau ʻā ka ʻe ʻikai mamata, pea fanongo ka ʻe ʻikai ʻilo.
He said, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but for others I speak in parables, so that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
11 “Pea ko e fakatātā eni: Ko e tenga ko e folofola ia ʻae ʻOtua.
Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 Ko kinautolu [eni ]ʻi he veʻe hala, ʻoku nau fanongo; pea toki haʻu ʻae tēvolo, ʻo ne toʻo atu ʻae folofola ʻi honau loto, telia naʻa nau tui pea moʻui ai.
The ones along the path are those who have heard, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so they may not believe and be saved.
13 Ko kinautolu [eni ]ʻi he maka, ʻaia ʻoku fanongo, pea maʻu ʻae folofola ʻi he fiefia; ka ʻoku ʻikai hanau aka, pea ʻoku nau tui fuoloa siʻi pe, pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe ʻahiʻahi ʻoku nau hinga ai.
The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But they have no root; they believe for a while, and in a time of testing they fall away.
14 Pea ko ia naʻe mokulu ki he ʻakau talatala, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku fanongo pea ʻalu atu, ka ko e tokanga [mamahi ]mo e koloa mo e fiefia ʻi māmani, ʻoku kāsia ai ia, pea ʻe ʻikai ai ha fua ke haohaoa.
The seeds that fell among the thorns are people who hear the word, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 Ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he kelekele moʻui, ko kinautolu eni ʻoku nau fanongo ki he folofola, ʻo maʻu [ia ]ki he loto totonu mo lelei, pea fakatupu ʻae fua ʻi he fakakukafi.
But the seed that fell on the good soil, these are the ones who, hearing the word with an honest and good heart, hold it securely and bear fruit with patient endurance.
16 “ʻOku ʻikai ha tangata te ne tutu ʻae maama, ke fakapulonga ʻaki ʻae ipu, pe tuku [ia ]ki he lalo mohenga; kae fokotuʻu [ia ]ki ha tuʻunga, koeʻuhi ke mamata ki he maama ʻakinautolu ʻoku [ʻi ai].
No one lights a lamp and covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand so that everyone who enters may see the light.
17 He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku lilo, ʻe taʻefakahā; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku fufū, ʻe taʻeʻiloa pe taʻemafola kituʻa.
For nothing is hidden that will not be made known, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come into the light.
18 Ko ia mou tokanga ki hoʻomou fanongo: he ko ia ʻoku maʻu, ʻe foaki kiate ia pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu, ʻe toʻo meiate ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mahalo kuo ne maʻu.”
So listen carefully, for to the one who has, more will be given to him, but the one who does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
19 Pea haʻu ai kiate ia ʻa ʻene faʻē mo hono kāinga, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ofi kiate ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai.
Then his mother and brothers came to him, but they could not get near him because of the crowd.
20 Pea naʻe fakahā kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga ʻoku tutuʻu ʻituʻa, ko ʻenau holi ke mamata kiate koe.”
He was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, mo fai ki ai.”
But Jesus answered and said to them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Pea pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe heka vaka ia mo ʻene kau ākonga: pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he kauvai ʻe taha. Pea naʻa nau tuku atu.”
Now one day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” They set sail.
23 Ka ʻi heʻenau folau naʻe mohe ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ki he tahi ʻae taufa lahi: pea ngotofuʻu [ʻae vaka], pea nau tuʻutāmaki ai.
But as they sailed he fell asleep. A terrible windstorm came down on the lake, and their boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 Pea naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo fafangu ia, mo nau pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻeiki, kuo tau mate.” Pea tuʻu hake ia, ʻo lolomi ʻae matangi mo e hou ʻae tahi; pea tuku ia, ʻo tofukī.
Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, “Master! Master! We are about to die!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Kofaʻā hoʻomou tui?” Ka naʻe manavahē mo ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Ko hai nai ʻae tangata ni! He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ki he matangi mo e tahi, pea ʻoku talangofua ia kiate ia.”
Then he said to them, “Where is your faith?” and they were afraid. While they were afraid they were also amazed, and they asked one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 Pea naʻa nau tau ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Katala, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu ki Kāleli.
They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki ʻuta, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha mei he kolo, naʻe fuoloa ʻae ulusino ʻiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻe ʻikai ke vala, pe nofo fale, ka ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka.
When Jesus stepped on the land, he was met by a certain man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but among the tombs.
28 Pea mamata ia kia Sisu, pea kalanga, mo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo [tangi ]leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sisu, ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga, ko e hā au kiate koe? ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua ʻe fakamamahiʻi au.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and he said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”
29 (He kuo fekau ʻe ia ki he laumālie ʻuli ke haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata. He kuo liunga lahi hono puke ia: pea naʻe maʻu ia ʻi hono haʻisia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu; kae motuhi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi haʻi, pea tuli ia ʻe he tēvolo ki he toafa.)
For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and he would be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Pea fehuʻi ʻa Sisu kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione:” koeʻuhi kuo hū kiate ia ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi.
Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” and he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
31 Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia, ke ʻoua te ne fekau ʻakinautolu ke nau ʻalu atu ki he loloto. (Abyssos g12)
They kept begging him not to send them into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Pea naʻe ai ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga ʻi he moʻunga: pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke ne tuku ke nau hū ki ai. Pea ne tukuange ia.
Now a large herd of pigs was there feeding on the hillside. The demons begged him to let them go into them, and he gave them permission.
33 Pea ʻalu atu [leva ]ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he tangata, ʻonau hū ki he fanga puaka; pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, ʻo melemo ai.
So the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and was drowned.
34 Pea kuo mamata ʻae kau tauhimanu ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea nau feholaki, ʻo ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻi he kolo mo e tukuʻuta.
When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and told about it in the city and countryside.
35 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu ke vakai pe ko e hā kuo fai, ʻo haʻu kia Sisu, pea ʻilo ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea naʻa nau manavahē ai.
So the people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Pea ko kinautolu foki naʻe mamata [ki ai], naʻa nau tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngāue kuo moʻui ai ia, ʻaia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
Then those who had seen it told them how the man who had been possessed by demons had been healed.
37 Pea toki kole ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ʻoe kau Katala ke ʻalu ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo nau pukea ʻi he ilifia lahi: pea heka ia ki vaka, ʻo [toe ]liu mai.
Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were overwhelmed with great fear. So he got into the boat so they could start back.
38 Pea ko e tangata naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae kau tēvolo, naʻa ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo mo ia: ka naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu ke ʻalu ia, ʻo ne pehē,
The man from whom the demons had gone out begged him to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Toe ʻalu koe ki ho fale, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ongoongoa ʻi he kolo kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu kiate ia.
“Return to your home and give a full account of what God has done for you.” The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
40 Pea pehē, kuo foki ange ʻa Sisu, naʻe [toe ]maʻu fiefia ia ʻe he kakai: he naʻa nau tatali kotoa pē kiate ia.
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all expecting him.
41 Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻae tangata ko Sailosi hono hingoa, ko e pule ia ʻi he falelotu; pea ne fakatōmapeʻe ki he vaʻe ʻo Sisu, ʻo kole kiate ia ke haʻu ki hono fale:
Behold, a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders of the synagogue, came and fell down at Jesus' feet, and he begged him to come to his house,
42 He kuo taha pe hono ʻofefine, pea kuo hongofulu ma ua nai hono taʻu pea kuo tei mate ia. Ka ʻi heʻene ʻalu naʻe fakaʻefi ia ʻe he kakai.
because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve years of age, was dying. As Jesus was on his way, the crowds of people pressed together around him.
43 Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻau ʻoe toto, ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē ki he kau faitoʻo, ka naʻe ʻikai ke moʻui ia ʻi ha taha,
Now a woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money, and could not be healed by anyone.
44 Naʻe haʻu ia ki [hono ]tuʻa, ʻo ala ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea matuʻu leva ʻae ʻau ʻo hono toto.
She came behind Jesus and touched the edge of his coat, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
45 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, “Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?” Pea kuo nau ʻikai kotoa pē, pea pehē ʻe Pita mo kinautolu naʻa nau ʻiate ia, “ʻEiki, ʻoku fakaʻefi mo kāpui koe ʻe he kakai, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”
Jesus said, “Who was it who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds of people are all around you and they are pressing in against you.”
46 Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “Kuo ala ha taha kiate au: he ʻoku ou ʻilo kuo ʻalu ʻae mālohi ʻiate au.”
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I know that power has gone out from me.”
47 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻoku ʻikai lilo ia, pea haʻu tetetete ia, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne fakahā kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē hono ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene ala kiate ia, pea mo ʻene moʻui ai leva.
When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people she declared why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
48 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, ke ke fiemālie: kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻo fiemālie.”
Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻene lea, mo ʻene haʻu ʻae tokotaha mei he [fale ʻoe ]pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine; ʻoua naʻa fakafiuʻi ʻae ʻEiki.”
While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, “Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher any longer.”
50 Ka kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea lea ia, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “ʻOua te ke manavahē: ka ke tui pe, pea ʻe fakamoʻui ia.”
But when Jesus heard this, he answered Jairus, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Pea kuo haʻu ia ki he fale, naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke hū [ki ai ]ha taha, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, pea mo e tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine.
When he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father of the child and her mother.
52 Pea naʻa nau tangi mo tangilāulau kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko ia: ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOua ʻe tangi; he ʻoku ʻikai mate ia, ka ʻoku mohe [pe].”
Now all were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, “Do not weep; she is not dead but asleep.”
53 Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia, ko ʻenau ʻilo kuo mate ia.
But they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Pea ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea puke hono nima, ʻo ne ui, ʻo pehē, “Taʻahine, tuʻu hake.”
But he took her by the hand and called out, saying, “Child, get up!”
55 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa hono laumālie, pea tuʻu hake leva ia: pea ne fekau ke ʻatu haʻane meʻakai.
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He ordered them to get her something to eat.
56 Pea ofo ai ʻa ʻene mātuʻa: ka naʻe fekau ʻe ia kiate kinaua ke ʻoua naʻa na fakahā ki ha taha ʻaia kuo fai.
Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened.
