Maʻake 11
1 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,
When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.
2 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.
"Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.
3 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.”
And if any one asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"
4 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.
So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,
5 Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi naʻe tuʻu ʻi ai kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻamoua ʻoku mo vete ai ʻae ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi?”
when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing, untying the foal?"
6 Pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sisu: pea naʻe tuku ʻakinaua ke na ō.
But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.
7 Pea naʻa na ʻomi ʻae ʻuhiki kia Sisu, pea na ʻai ki ai hona ngaahi kofu; pea heka ia ki ai.
So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
8 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.
Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
9 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!
while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting "God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
10 Ke monūʻia ʻae puleʻanga ʻo ʻetau tamai ko Tevita, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova: Hosana ʻi he fungani māʻolunga.”
Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
11 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.
So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei Pētani, naʻe fiekaia ia:
The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.
13 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.
But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time);
14 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)
and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this. (aiōn g165)
15 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;
They reached Jerusalem, and entering the Temple He began to drive out the buyers and sellers, and upset the money-changers' tables and the stools of the pigeon-dealers,
16 Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke ʻalu ha taha mo [ʻene ]kavenga ʻi he falelotu lahi.
and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple.
17 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.”
And He remonstrated with them. "Is it not written," He said, "'My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it what it now is--a robbers' cave."
18 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.
This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.
19 Pea kuo hokosia ʻae efiafi, ne ʻalu ia mei he kolo.
When evening came on, Jesus and His disciples used to leave the city.
20 Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau liu mai, ne nau vakai ki he ʻakau ko e fiki kuo mate mei hono aka.
In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;
21 Pea fakamanatu ʻe Pita, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko e fiki naʻa ke tukitalaʻi kuo mate ia.”
and Peter, recollecting, said to Him, "Look, Rabbi, the fig-tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Mou maʻu ʻae tui ki he ʻOtua.
Jesus said to them, "Have faith in God.
23 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.
In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Remove, and hurl thyself into the sea,' and has no doubt about it in his heart, but stedfastly believes that what he says will happen, it shall be granted him.
24 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.
That is why I tell you, as to whatever you pray and make request for, if you believe that you have received it it shall be yours.
25 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.
But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences."
26 Pea ka ʻikai te mou fakamolemole, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamolemolea ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi hoʻomou ngaahi angahala.”
27 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,
They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him
28 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?”
and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?"
29 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.
"And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia? Pe mei he tangata? Tala mai.”
John's Baptism--was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."
31 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?’
So they debated the matter with one another. "Suppose we say, 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 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.
Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.
33 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.”
So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
