Maʻake 1
1 Ko e kamataʻanga ʻoe ongoongolelei ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua;
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 ʻO hangē ko ia ʻoku tohi ʻi he kau palōfita, “Vakai, ʻoku ou fekau atu hoku fakamelomelo ke muʻomuʻa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻaia te ne teuteu ho hala kiate koe.
as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 Ko e leʻo ʻoe tokotaha ʻoku kalanga ʻi he toafa, ‘Mou teuteu ʻae hala ʻoe ʻEiki, fakatonutonu hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.’”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 Naʻe papitaiso ʻe Sione ʻi he toafa, mo ne malangaʻaki ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala ki he fakamolemole ʻoe angahala.
John was immersing in the wilderness, and preaching the immersion of repentance in order to the remission of sins.
5 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu kiate ia ʻae fonua kotoa pē ko Siutea, pea mo kinautolu ʻo Selūsalema, ʻonau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻiate ia ʻi he vaitafe ko Sioatani, ʻo vete ʻenau ngaahi angahala.
And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Pea naʻe kofuʻaki ʻa Sione ʻae fulufuluʻi kāmeli, pea nonoʻo ʻaki hono konga loto ʻae kiliʻi manu; pea naʻa ne kai ʻae heʻe mo e meʻa huʻamelie ʻoe vao;
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a girdle of leather around his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey:
7 Pea naʻa ne malanga, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku muimui ʻiate au ʻae tokotaha ʻoku lahi kiate au, ko e nonoʻo ʻoe topuvaʻe ʻoʻona ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u punou hifo ʻo vevete.
and he preached, saying: There comes after me One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 Ko e moʻoni, kuo u papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae vai: ka te ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
I immerse you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Nāsaleti ʻo Kaleli, pea papitaiso ia ʻe Sione ʻi Sioatani.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
10 Pea ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai, pea ne mamata kuo mavaeua ʻae langi, pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e lupe:
And immediately on coming up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
11 Pea ongo mai ʻae leʻo mei he langi, [naʻe pehē], “Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe, ʻaia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ai.”
And there was a voice from the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
12 Pea taki leva ia ʻe he Laumālie ki he toafa.
And immediately the Spirit compelled him to go forth into the wilderness.
13 Pea naʻe ʻi he toafa ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sētane; pea naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻae fanga manu kai vao; kae tauhi ia ʻe he kau ʻāngelo.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, to be tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 Pea kuo fakahū ʻa Sione ki he fale fakapōpula, pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ki Kaleli, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua,
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo hokosia ʻae kuonga, pea ʻoku ofi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua: mou fakatomala, pea tui ki he ongoongolelei.”
and saying: The time has fully come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the gospel.
16 Pea ʻi heʻene hāʻele ʻi he matātahi ʻo Kaleli, naʻa ne mamata kia Saimone, mo ʻAnitelū ko hono tokoua, ʻoku na lafo ʻae kupenga ki tahi: he ko e ongo toutai ika ʻakinaua.
And as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, throwing a net about in the sea; for they were fishers.
17 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinaua, “Mo muimui mai ʻiate au, pea te u ngaohi ʻakimoua ke mo toutai tangata.”
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
18 Pea naʻa na liʻaki leva, hona kupenga, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia.
And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 Pea ʻalu siʻi atu ia, mo ne mamata kia Semisi ko e [foha ]ʻo Sepeti, mo Sione ko hono tokoua, naʻa na ʻi he vaka foki, ʻo pena honau kupenga.
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship, mending their nets.
20 Pea ne ui leva ʻakinaua: pea naʻa na liʻaki ʻena tamai ko Sepeti ʻi he vaka mo e kau ngāue kuo unga, ka na muimui ʻiate ia.
And he immediately called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Pea nau ō ki Kapaneume: pea hū leva ia ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo ne ako.
And they went into Capernaum; and immediately, on the sabbath, he entered the synagogue, and taught.
22 Pea nau ofo ʻi heʻene akonaki: he naʻa ne akonakiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku mālohi, ka naʻe ʻikai hangē ko e kau tangata tohi.
And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Pea naʻe ʻi honau falelotu ʻae tangata naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie ʻuli: pea kalanga leva ia,
And there was in their synagogue a man who had an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 ʻo pehē, “E Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, tuku ai pe; ko e hā ʻakimautolu kiate koe? Kuo ke haʻu ke fakaʻauha ʻakimautolu? ʻOku ou ʻilo koe, ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua.”
saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Pea lolomi ia ʻe Sisu, ʻo pehē, “Ke ke fakalongo pē, pea ke haʻu kituʻa ʻiate ia.”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him.
26 Pea kuo haehae ia ʻe he laumālie ʻuli, mo tangi ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, pea ne toki mahuʻi ʻiate ia.
And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 Pea naʻe ofo ai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ko ia ne nau fakafefehuʻiʻaki ai ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa ko eni? Ko e hā ʻae akonaki foʻou ni? He ʻoku fekau ʻe ia ʻi he mālohi ki he kau laumālie ʻuli, pea ʻoku nau talangofua kiate ia.”
And all were amazed, so that they questioned one another, saying: What means this? What new teaching is this, that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?
28 Pea naʻe mafola leva ʻa hono ongoongo ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kaleli.
And his fame immediately went abroad into all the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 Pea kuo nau ʻalu mei he falelotu, naʻa nau hū, fakataha mo Semisi mo Sione, ki he fale ʻo Saimone mo ʻAnitelū.
And forthwith, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Ka naʻe tokoto ʻae faʻē ʻae uaifi ʻo Saimone ʻoku mahaki ko e mofi; pea nau fakahā leva ia kiate ia.
Now the mother-in-law of Simon lay sick of a fever. And at once they told him of her.
31 Pea haʻu ia ʻo puke hono nima, ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia: pea mahuʻi leva ʻae mofi ʻiate ia, ʻo ne tauhi ʻakinautolu.
And he went to her, and took her by the hand, and raised her up, and the fever left her instantly; and she ministered to them.
32 Pea kuo efiafi, ʻo feʻunga mo e tō ʻae laʻā, mo ʻenau ʻomi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe ulusino ai ʻae kau tēvolo.
And at evening, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.
33 Pea fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē ki he matapā.
And the whole city came together to the door.
34 Pea fakamoʻui ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi naʻe mahaki ʻi he mahaki kehekehe, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo tokolahi: pea ne taʻofi ke ʻoua ʻe lea ʻae kau tēvolo, koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻilo ia.
And he cured many that were sick of various diseases, and cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Pea pongipongi ai, naʻa ne tuʻu hake ʻoku teʻeki ʻaho, pea ʻalu ia kituaʻā ʻo mole atu ki he potu lala, pea lotu ai.
And very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, he arose and went out, and departed to a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻa Saimone, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia.
And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
37 Pea kuo ʻilo ia, pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku kumi kotoa pē kiate koe.”
And when they had found him, they said to him: All are seeking for thee.
38 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ke tau ō ki he ngaahi potu kakai ʻoku ofi mai, koeʻuhi ke u malanga ai foki: he ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai.”
And he said to them: Let us go into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for I have come forth for this purpose.
39 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻe ia ʻi honau ngaahi falelotu ʻi Kāleli kotoa pē, mo ne kapusi ʻae kau tēvolo.
And throughout the whole of Galilee he continued to preach in their synagogues, and to cast out demons.
40 Pea naʻe haʻu kiate ia ʻae kilia, naʻe kole kiate ia, ʻo tuʻulutui kiate ia, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kapau ko ho finangalo ʻoku ke faʻa fakamaʻa au.”
And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Pea ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sisu, ʻo mafao atu hono nima, ʻo ala kiate ia, pea ne pehē ki ai, “Ko hoku loto ia; ke ke maʻa koe.”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him: I will; be clean.
42 Pea kuo lea ia, mo ʻene mahuʻi leva ʻae kilia ʻiate ia, pea maʻa ai ia.
And when he had spoken, the leprosy immediately departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Pea ne naʻinaʻi mālohi kiate ia, pea toki fekau ke ne ʻalu:
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away,
44 ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “Vakai ʻoua naʻa ke lea ki ha taha: ka ke ʻalu, ʻo fakahā Ko e ki he taulaʻeiki, mo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fakamaʻa, ko e fakamoʻoni kiate kinautolu.”
and said to him: See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Ka naʻe ʻalu atu ia, ʻo ne kamata fakahā ʻo lahi, mo fanongonongo ʻae meʻa [ni], ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai ke toe faʻa ʻalu fakahā [ʻa Sisu ]ʻi he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi tuaʻā ia ʻi he ngaahi potu lala: pea naʻa nau haʻu mei he potu kotoa pē kiate ia.
But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to publish the matter abroad, so that he was no longer able to enter a city openly, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
