Mātiu 14
1 ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fanongo ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi ki he ongoongo ʻo Sisu.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard what Jesus was doing
2 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Ko Sione eni ko e Papitaiso: he kuo tuʻu hake ia mei he mate; pea ko ia ʻoku hā ai ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue lahi.”
and he told his servants, “He must be John the Baptist resurrected from the dead, and that's why he has such powers!”
3 He naʻe puke mo haʻi ʻe Helota ʻa Sione, ʻo tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula, koeʻuhi ko Helotiasi, ko e uaifi ʻo hono tokoua ko Filipe.
Herod had detained John, and had him put in chains and imprisoned on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother.
4 He naʻe pehē ʻe Sione kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua haʻo maʻu ia.”
For John had told him, “It's not legal for you to marry her.”
5 Pea ʻi heʻene tokanga ke tāmateʻi ia, naʻe manavahē ia ki he kakai, he naʻa nau lau ia ko e palōfita.
Herod wanted to kill John but he was afraid of the people's reaction for they considered John a prophet.
6 Ka ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamanatuʻi ai ʻae fāʻeleʻi ʻo Helota, naʻe meʻe ʻi [honau ]ʻao ʻae taʻahine ʻa Helotiasi, pea mālieʻia ai ʻa Helota.
However, on Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the party, and Herod was delighted with her.
7 “Ko ia naʻa ne fuakava ai ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē te ne kole ki ai.”
So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she wanted.
8 Pea kuo tomuʻa akonekina ia ʻe heʻene faʻē, pea ne pehē, “Tuku mai ni kiate au ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ko e Papitaiso ʻi ha ipu.”
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.”
9 Pea mamahi ai ʻae tuʻi: ka koeʻuhi ko ʻene fuakava, mo kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻa ne fekau ke ʻange ia [kiate ia].
Then the king regretted the promise he had made, but because of the oaths he'd made in front of his dinner guests, he gave the order to do it.
10 Pea ne fekau ai ke tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula.
The order was passed on and John was beheaded in prison.
11 Pea naʻe ʻomi hono ʻulu ʻi he ipu, ʻo ʻoatu ki he taʻahine: pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē.
John's head was brought on a plate and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.
12 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻave ʻae sino, mo tanu, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā kia Sisu.
John's disciples came and took the body, and buried him. Then they went and told Jesus.
13 Pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa Sisu, pea heka vaka ia, ʻo ʻalu mei he potu ko ia ki ha potu lala: pea fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai, pea nau hala ʻuta, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia mei he ngaahi kolo.
When Jesus heard the news he went away by boat to a quiet place to be alone, but when the crowds learned where he was, they followed him on foot from the towns.
14 Pea ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki he kakai tokolahi, pea ʻofa mamahi ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ʻenau ngaahi mahaki.
When Jesus got out of the boat and saw the huge crowds, he was full of sympathy for them, and healed their sick.
15 Pea kuo efiafi ai, pea haʻu ʻene kau ākonga kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e potu lala eni, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho; fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi potu kakai, ke fakatau meʻakai maʻanautolu.”
As evening came the disciples went up to him and said, “This place is miles from anywhere and it's getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 Ka naʻe tala ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻenau ʻalu: mou ʻoatu haʻanau kai.”
But Jesus told them, “They don't need to leave. You give them something to eat!”
17 Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “Ko e foʻi mā pe ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heni.”
“All we have here are five loaves and a couple of fish,” they replied.
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
“Bring them to me,” said Jesus.
19 Pea fekau ʻe ia ki he kakai ke nofo ki lalo ki he mohuku, pea ne toʻo ʻae foʻi mā ʻe nima, mo e ika ʻe ua, ʻo hanga hake ki he langi, ʻo tāpuaki, mo tofitofi ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā, pea ʻoatu ki heʻene kau ākonga, pea [tufaki ]ʻe he kau ākonga ki he kakai.
He told the crowds to sit down on the grass. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven and blessed them. After that he broke the loaves into pieces and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the crowds.
20 Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, ʻo mākona: pea tānaki ʻae toenga kai, pea pito ai ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
Everybody ate until they were full. Then they collected up the leftovers which filled twelve baskets.
21 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
Some five thousand men ate the food, not counting women and children.
22 Pea toki fekau ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga ke nau heka vaka, ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia ki he kauvai ʻe taha, ke ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae kakai.
Right after this he made the disciples get into the boat and go back to the other side of the lake while he sent the crowds on their way.
23 Pea kuo ne fekau ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, pea ʻalu hake tokotaha pe ia ki he moʻunga ke lotu: pea hokosia ʻae efiafi, ʻoku ne kei ʻi ai tokotaha pe.
After he'd sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountains to pray. Evening came and he was there all alone.
24 Ka kuo ʻi he vaha ʻae vaka, ʻo tō mo hopo ʻi he peau: he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
By now the boat was a long way out from land, being pounded by the waves because the wind was blowing against it.
25 Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe leʻo ʻi he pō naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo hāʻele ʻi he [fukahi ]tahi.
About 3 a.m. Jesus caught up with them, walking on the sea.
26 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kau ākonga ki heʻene hāʻele ʻi he [fukahi ]tahi, naʻa nau manavahē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e laumālie!” Pea nau tangi kalanga ʻi he manavahē.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. They screamed out in fear, “It's a ghost!”
27 Ka naʻe lea leva ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Fiemālie pe; he ko au pe; ʻoua te mou manavahē.”
But immediately Jesus said to them, “Don't worry, it's me! Don't be afraid!”
28 Pea lea ʻa Pita, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “ʻEiki, kapau ko koe, fekau mai ke u ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he vai.”
“Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come over to you, walking on the water,” Peter replied.
29 Pea ne pehē, “Haʻu.” Pea ʻi he ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita mei he vaka, naʻe ʻeveʻeva ia ʻi he tahi, ke ʻalu atu kia Sisu.
“Come on then,” said Jesus. Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water towards Jesus.
30 Ka ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku mālohi ʻae matangi, naʻe manavahē ia; pea kamata ngalo hifo, pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, fakamoʻui au.”
But when he saw how strong the wind was, he became scared, and started to sink. “Lord! Save me!” he cried out.
31 Pea mafao leva ʻae nima ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne puke ia, ʻo ne pehē ki ai, “ʻA koe ʻoku siʻi hoʻo tui, ko e hā ʻoku ke fakataʻetaʻetui ai?’
Immediately Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him, and said, “You have such little trust in me. Why did you doubt?”
32 Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki he vaka, pea malū ʻae matangi.
When they got into the boat, the wind died down,
33 Pea haʻu ai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he vaka, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
and those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “You really are the Son of God!”
34 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu, naʻa nau tuʻu ki ʻuta ki he fonua ko Kenesaleti.
After crossing the lake they arrived at Gennesaret.
35 Pea kuo ʻilo ia ʻe he kakai ʻoe potu ko ia, naʻa nau fanongonongo ki he potu kotoa pē ʻoe fonua ko ia, ʻo omi kiate ia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mahaki;
When the people there realized Jesus was there, they let everyone in the whole area know. They brought all who were sick to him,
36 ʻO nau kole kiate ia ke nau ala pe ki he kapa ʻo hono kofu: pea naʻe fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ala ki ai.
and pleaded with him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak. Everyone that touched him was healed.
