Maʻake 5
1 Pea naʻa nau tuku mai ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻoe tahi, ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Kataline.
So they arrived at the opposite shore of the Lake, in the country of the Gerasenes.
2 Pea kuo haʻu ia mei he vaka, pea fakafetaulaki leva kiate ia ʻae tangata mei he ngaahi faʻitoka, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli,
At once, on His landing, there came from the tombs to meet Him a man possessed by a foul spirit.
3 Pea naʻe nofo pe ia ʻi he ngaahi faʻitoka; pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi:
This man lived among the tombs, nor could any one now secure him even with a chain;
4 He koeʻuhi kuo liunga lahi hono haʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu mo e ngaahi ukamea fihifihi, pea kuo ne motumotuhi ʻae ngaahi ukamea fihifihi, pea motumotu mo e ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu: pea kuo ʻikai faʻa fakalalata ia ʻe ha taha.
for many a time he had been left securely bound in fetters and chains, but afterwards the chains lay torn link from link, and the fetters in fragments, and there was no one strong enough to master him.
5 Pea naʻe ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ia mo e ngaahi faʻitoka maʻuaipē, ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻo ne tangi ai, mo ne tafatafaʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi maka.
And constantly, day and night, he remained among the tombs or on the hills, shrieking, and mangling himself with sharp stones.
6 Ka ʻi heʻene mamata mei he mamaʻo kia Sisu, naʻa ne lele ʻo hū kiate ia.
And when he saw Jesus in the distance, he ran and threw himself at His feet,
7 ʻO tangi leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e hā au kiate koe, Sisu, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe fungani ʻOtua māʻolunga? ʻOku ou hū tōtōaki kiate koe ʻi he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakamamahiʻi au.”
crying out in a loud voice, "What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of God Most High? In God's name I implore Thee not to torment me."
8 (He naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Haʻu kituʻa mei he tangata, ʻa koe ko e laumālie ʻuli.”)
For He had said to him, "Foul spirit, come out of the man."
9 Pea ne fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko hai ho hingoa?” Pea pehēange ʻe ia, “Ko Lisione hoku hingoa; he ʻoku mau tokolahi.”
Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?" He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."
10 Pea ne kole fakamātoato kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he fonua.
And he earnestly entreated Him not to send them away out of the country.
11 Pea naʻe ʻi ai, ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻae fanga puaka lahi naʻe fafanga.
Feeding there, on the mountain slope, was a great herd of swine.
12 Pea kole ʻe he kau laumālie kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Fekau ʻakimautolu ki he fanga puaka, koeʻuhi ke mau hū ki ai.”
So they besought Jesus. "Send us to the swine," they said, "so that we may enter into them."
13 Pea tuku leva ʻe Sisu ke nau [fai ia]. Pea ʻalu atu ʻae kau laumālie ʻuli, ʻo hū ki he fanga puaka: pea feleleʻi ʻo ʻoho ʻae fanga puaka ʻi he potu tahifohifo ki tahi, (naʻa nau toko ua afe nai; ) pea melemo ʻi he tahi.
He gave them leave; and the foul spirits came out and entered into the swine, and the herd--about 2,000 in number--rushed headlong down the cliff into the Lake and were drowned in the Lake.
14 Pea feholaki ʻakinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻae fanga puaka, ʻo fakahā ki he kolo, pea mo e tukuʻuta. Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ange ke mamata ki he meʻa kuo fai.
The swineherds fled, and spread the news in town and country. So the people came to see what it was that had happened;
15 Pea nau haʻu kia Sisu, ʻo mamata kiate ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae laumālie ʻuli, ʻo ne maʻu ʻae lisione, ʻoku nofo ia, kuo kofu, pea poto hono loto: pea nau manavahē
and when they came to Jesus, they beheld the demoniac quietly seated, clothed and of sane mind--the man who had had the legion; and they were awe-stricken.
16 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe mamata [ki ai], naʻa nau fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻa naʻe hoko kiate ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae tēvolo, pea mo e meʻa ki he fanga puaka.
And those who had seen it told them the particulars of what had happened to the demoniac, and all about the swine.
17 Pea nau kole leva kiate ia ke ne ʻalu ʻi honau fonua.
Then they began entreating Him to depart from their district.
18 Pea kuo ʻalu ia ki vaka, pea ko ia naʻe ulusino ai ʻae tēvolo ne kole kiate ia ke na nonofo.
As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.
19 Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa Sisu, ka naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu ki ho ʻapi ki ho kāinga, mo fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe he ʻEiki maʻau, mo ʻene manavaʻofa kiate koe.”
But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."
20 Pea ne ʻalu ia, ʻo fua fakahā ʻi Tikapolisi ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo fai ʻe Sisu maʻana: pea ofo ai kotoa pē.
So the man departed, and related publicly everywhere in the Ten Towns all that Jesus had done for him; and all were astonished.
21 Pea kuo toe folau ʻa Sisu ʻi he vaka ki he kauvai ʻe taha, pea kātoa ai kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi: pea kuo ofi ia ki tahi.
When Jesus had re-crossed in the boat to the other side, a vast multitude came crowding to Him; and He was on the shore of the Lake,
22 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae tokotaha ʻoe kau pule ʻoe falelotu, ko Sailosi hono hingoa; pea ʻi heʻene mamata kiate ia, naʻa ne tō hifo ki hono vaʻe,
when there came one of the Wardens of the Synagogue--he was called Jair--who, on beholding Him, threw himself at His feet,
23 ʻO ne kole fakamātoato kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ʻofefine siʻi ʻoku tei mate: haʻu, ʻo hili ho nima kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke moʻui ai: pea ʻe moʻui ia.”
and besought Him with many entreaties. "My little daughter," he said, "is at the point of death: I pray you come and lay your hands upon her, that she may recover and live."
24 Pea naʻa na ō mo [Sisu]; pea muimui kiate ia ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻo fakaʻefihia ia.
And Jesus went with him. And a dense crowd followed Him, and thronged Him on all sides.
25 Pea ko e fefine ʻe tokotaha, naʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻae taʻu ʻoe ʻau toto ʻiate ia,
Now a woman who for twelve years had suffered from haemorrhage,
26 Pea kuo lahi ʻae meʻa kuo ne kātaki ʻi he kau faitoʻo tokolahi, pea kuo fakaʻosi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa, kae ʻāsili pe hono mahaki.
and had undergone many different treatments under a number of doctors and had spent all she had without receiving benefit but on the contrary growing worse,
27 Kuo fanongo ia kia Sisu, pea haʻu mo e fononga mei mui, ʻo ala ki hono kofu:
heard of Jesus. And she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak;
28 He kuo pehē ʻe ia, “Kapau teu ala pe ki hono kofu, te u moʻui ai.”
for she said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured."
29 Pea matuʻu fakafokifā pe ʻae ʻau ʻa hono toto; pea ne ongoʻi ʻi hono sino kuo fakamoʻui ia mei he mahaki ko ia.
In a moment the flow of her blood ceased, and she felt in herself that her complaint was cured.
30 Pea kuo ʻilo loto ʻe Sisu kuo ʻalu atu ʻiate ia ʻae mālohi, pea ne tafoki ia ki he kakai, mo ne pehē, “Ko hai naʻe ala ki hoku kofu?”
Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 Pea pehēange ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vakai ki he tokolahi ʻoku fakaʻefi koe, pea ʻoku ke pehē, ‘Ko hai kuo ala kiate au?’”
"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides," His disciples exclaimed, "and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
32 Pea vakai foli ʻe ia ke mamata kiate ia kuo ne fai ʻae meʻa ni.
But He continued looking about to see the person who had done this,
33 Ka kuo ʻilo ʻe he fefine ʻaia kuo fai kiate ia, pea haʻu ia, ʻoku manavahē mo tetetete, ʻo tō ki lalo ʻi hono ʻao, ʻo ne tala kiate ia ʻae moʻoni kotoa pē.
until the woman, frightened and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and threw herself at His feet, and told Him all the truth.
34 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻOfefine, kuo fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoʻo tui; ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie, pea ke moʻui mei hoʻo mahaki.”
"Daughter," He said, "your faith has cured you: go in peace, and be free from your complaint."
35 Kae lolotonga ʻene lea, mo e haʻu [ʻae niʻihi ]mei [he fale ]ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefine: ko e hā ʻoku ke kei fakafiu ai ʻae ʻEiki?”
While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say, "Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
36 Pea kuo fanongo leva ʻe Sisu ki he lea naʻe lea ʻaki, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he pule ʻoe falelotu, “ʻOua te ke manavahē, ka ke tui pe.”
But Jesus, overhearing the words, said to the Warden, "Do not be afraid; only have faith."
37 Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke muimui ha tokotaha kiate ia, ka ko Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi.
And He allowed no one to accompany Him except Peter and the brothers James and John.
38 Pea hoko ia ki he fale ʻoe pule ʻoe falelotu, ʻo mamata ki he maveuveu, mo kinautolu naʻe tangi mo tangilāulau lahi.
So they come to the Warden's house. Here He gazes on a scene of uproar, with people weeping aloud and wailing.
39 Pea kuo hū ia ki loto [fale], mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou maveuveu, mo tangi ai? ʻOku ʻikai mate ʻae taʻahine, ka ʻoku mohe [pe].”
He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."
40 Ka naʻa nau kakata manuki kiate ia. Pea kuo fekau ʻe ia ke nau ʻalu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea ne ʻave ʻae tamai mo e faʻē ʻae taʻahine, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea nau hū ki he potu ʻoku tokoto ai ʻae taʻahine.
To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.
41 Pea ne puke ʻae nima ʻoe taʻahine, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Talita kiumi;” ʻaia ko hono ʻuhinga, “Taʻahine, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, Tuʻu hake.”
Then, taking her by the hand, He says to her, "Talitha, koum;" that is to say, "Little girl, I command you to wake!"
42 Pea tuʻu hake leva ʻae taʻahine, ʻo ʻeveʻeva; he kuo hongofulu ma ua hono taʻu. Pea naʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu ʻi he ofo lahi.
Instantly the little girl rises to her feet and begins to walk (for she was twelve years old). They were at once beside themselves with utter astonishment;
43 Pea ne fekau mālohi kiate kinautolu ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha; mo ne fekau ke ʻatu ha meʻakai kiate ia.
but He gave strict injunctions that the matter should not be made known, and directed them to give her something to eat.
