Maʻake 3
1 Pea toe hū ia ki he falelotu; pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata kuo mate hono nima.
At another time, when He went to the synagogue, there was a man there with one arm shrivelled up.
2 Pea naʻa nau lamasi ia, pe te ne fakamoʻui ia ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate: ka nau fakakoviʻi ai ia.
They closely watched Him to see whether He would cure him on the Sabbath--so as to have a charge to bring against Him.
3 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata naʻe nima mate, “Tuʻu mai.”
"Come forward," said He to the man with the shrivelled arm.
4 Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ngofua ke fai lelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho Sāpate, pe ko e fai kovi? Ke fakamoʻui, pe tāmateʻi?” Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pe.
Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.
5 Pea kuo vakai foli ʻe ia ʻakinautolu kuo tuputāmaki, he naʻe mamahi ia koeʻuhi ko e fefeka ʻo honau loto, pea ne pehē ki he tangata, “Mafao mai ho nima.” Pea ne mafao atu [ia]: pea fakamoʻui hono nima ʻo hangē ko [hono nima ]e taha.
Grieved and indignant at the hardening of their hearts, He looked round on them with anger, and said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." He stretched it out, and the arm was completely restored.
6 Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻae kau Fālesi, ʻonau alea leva mo e kau Helotiane kiate ia, pe fēfeeʻi ʻenau tāmateʻi ia.
But no sooner had the Pharisees left the synagogue than they held a consultation with the Herodians against Jesus, to devise some means of destroying Him.
7 Ka naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sisu mo ʻene kau ākonga ki he tahi: pea muimui kiate ia ʻae fuʻu tokolahi mei Kāleli mo Siutea,
Accordingly Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the Lake, and a vast crowd of people from Galilee followed Him;
8 Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia, mei Selūsalema, mo ʻAitumia, mo e tuʻa Sioatani, mo kinautolu naʻe ofi ki Taia mo Saitoni, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo ne fai.
and from Judaea and Jerusalem and Idumaea and from beyond the Jordan and from the district of Tyre and Sidon there came to Him a vast crowd, hearing of all that He was doing.
9 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ke ʻai ha vaka siʻi ke tatali kiate ia, koeʻuhi ko e fuʻu tokolahi, telia naʻa nau fakaʻefihiaʻi ia.
So He gave directions to His disciples to keep a small boat in constant attendance on Him because of the throng--to prevent their crushing Him.
10 He kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻae tokolahi; ko ia ne nau fakaʻefihiaʻi ia, ka nau ala kiate ia, ʻakinautolu naʻe mahaki.
For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.
11 Pea mo e kau laumālie ʻuli, ʻi heʻenau mamata kiate ia, naʻa nau tō ki lalo ʻi hono ʻao, pea tangi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
And the foul spirits, whenever they saw Him, threw themselves down at His feet, screaming out: "You are the Son of God."
12 Pea ne fekau mālohi kiate kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ia.
But He many a time checked them, forbidding them to say who He was.
13 Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia ki he moʻunga, ʻo ne ui kiate ia ʻakinautolu naʻe loto ia ki ai: pea nau ʻalu ange kiate ia.
Then He went up the hill; and those whom He Himself chose He called, and they came to Him.
14 Pea ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ke nau ʻiate ia, pea koeʻuhi ke ne fekau atu ʻakinautolu ke malanga,
He appointed twelve of them, that they might be with Him, and that He might also send them to proclaim His Message,
15 Pea ke maʻu ʻae mālohi ke fakamoʻui ʻae ngaahi mahaki, mo kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo:
with authority to expel the demons.
16 Ko Saimone naʻa ne fakahingoa ko Pita;
These twelve were Simon (to whom He gave the surname of Peter),
17 mo Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi; pea ne fakahingoa ʻakinaua ko Poaneasesi, ʻa ia, “Ko e ongo foha ʻoe mana:”
James the son of Zabdi and John the brother of James (these two He surnamed Boanerges, that is 'Sons of Thunder'),
18 mo ʻAnitelū, mo Filipe, mo Pātolomiu, mo Mātiu, mo Tōmasi, mo Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Tatiusi, mo Saimone ko e Kēnani,
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananaean,
19 mo Siutasi ʻIsikaliote ʻaia foki naʻa ne lavakiʻi ia: pea naʻa nau hū ki ha fale.
and Judas Iscariot, the man who also betrayed Him.
20 Pea toe fakataha ʻae kakai, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te nau faʻa fai ʻenau kai mā.
And He went into a house. But again the crowd assembled, so that there was no opportunity for them even to snatch a meal.
21 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa hono kāinga, naʻa nau ʻalu atu ko hono puke: he naʻa nau pehē, “Kuo vale ia.”
Hearing of this, His relatives came to seize Him by force, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
22 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata tohi naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻa Pelisipupe, pea ʻoku ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau tēvolo.”
The Scribes, too, who had come down from Jerusalem said, "He has Baal-zebul in him; and it is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he expels the demons."
23 Pea ne ui ʻakinautolu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakatātā, “E faʻa kapusi fēfē ʻe Sētane ʻa Sētane?
So He called them to Him, and using figurative language He appealed to them, saying, "How is it possible for Satan to expel Satan?
24 Pea kapau ʻe feʻiteʻitani ha puleʻanga, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga ko ia.
For if civil war breaks out in a kingdom, nothing can make that kingdom last;
25 Pea kapau ʻe feʻiteʻitani ha fale, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ʻae fale ko ia.
and if a family splits into parties, that family cannot continue.
26 Pea kapau ʻe angatuʻu ʻa Sētane kiate ia, mo feʻiteʻitani, ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ia, kae ngata ai ia.
So if Satan has risen in arms and has made war upon himself, stand he cannot, but meets his end.
27 “E ʻikai ha taha te ne faʻa hū ki he fale ʻoe tokotaha mālohi, mo kaihaʻasi ʻene ngaahi koloa, ka ʻi heʻene tomuʻa haʻi ʻae tokotaha mālohi; pea te ne toki kaihaʻasi ʻene koloa.
Nay, no one can go into a strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.
28 “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻE fakamolemole ʻae ngaahi hia kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻae tangata, mo e lohiakiʻi ʻaia kotoa pē te nau lohiaki:
In solemn truth I tell you that all their sins may be pardoned to the sons of men, and all their blasphemies, however they may have blasphemed;
30 Koeʻuhi naʻe pehē ʻekinautolu, “ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli.”
This was because they said, "He is possessed by a foul spirit."
31 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻa hono kāinga mo ʻene faʻē, ʻonau tutuʻu ʻituʻa, pea nau fekau kiate ia.
By this time His mother and His brothers arrive, and standing outside they send a message to Him to call Him.
32 Pea pehē kiate ia ʻe he kakai naʻa nau nofo ʻo kāpui ia, “Vakai, ko hoʻo faʻē mo ho kāinga ʻoku ʻituʻa, ko ʻenau kumi koe.”
Now a crowd was sitting round Him; so they tell Him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, inquiring for you."
33 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko hai ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga?”
"Who are my mother and my brothers?" He replied.
34 Pea vakai foli ʻe ia ʻakinautolu naʻa nau nofo ʻo kāpui ia, mo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko ʻeku faʻē mo hoku kāinga!
And, fixing His eyes on the people who were sitting round Him in a circle, He said,
35 He ko ia te ne fai ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ko hoku tokoua ia, mo hoku tuofefine, mo [ʻeku ]faʻē.”
"Here are my mother and my brothers. For wherever there is one who has been obedient to God, there is my brother--my sister--and my mother."
