1 ‌ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe fanongo ʻa Helota ko e tuʻi ki he ongoongo ʻo Sisu.
About that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
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.”
He said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead. Therefore these powers are at work in him.”
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.
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
4 He naʻe pehē ʻe Sione kiate ia, “ʻOku ʻikai ngofua haʻo maʻu ia.”
For John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her as your wife.”
5 Pea ʻi heʻene tokanga ke tāmateʻi ia, naʻe manavahē ia ki he kakai, he naʻa nau lau ia ko e palōfita.
Herod would have put him to death, but he feared the people, because they regarded him as 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.
But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod.
7 “Ko ia naʻa ne fuakava ai ke ne foaki kiate ia ʻaia kotoa pē te ne kole ki ai.”
In response, he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
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.”
After being instructed by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, 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].
The king was very upset by her request, but because of his oath and because of all those at dinner with him, he ordered that it should be done.
10 Pea ne fekau ai ke tutuʻu ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sione ʻi he fale fakapōpula.
He sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Pea naʻe ʻomi hono ʻulu ʻi he ipu, ʻo ʻoatu ki he taʻahine: pea ne ʻomi ia ki heʻene faʻē.
Then his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl and she took it to her mother.
12 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻave ʻae sino, mo tanu, pea ʻalu ʻo fakahā kia Sisu.
Then his disciples came, took up the corpse, and buried it. After this, 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.
Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place. When the crowds heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
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.
Then Jesus came before them and saw the large crowd. He had compassion on 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.”
When the evening had come, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the day is already over. Dismiss the crowds, so that they can go into 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 said to them, “They have no need to go away. 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.”
They said to him, “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish.”
18 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOmi ia kiate au.”
Jesus said, “Bring them to me.”
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.
Then Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. Looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowd.
20 Pea naʻa nau kai kotoa pē, ʻo mākona: pea tānaki ʻae toenga kai, pea pito ai ʻae kato ʻe hongofulu ma ua.
They all ate and were filled. Then they took up what remained of the broken pieces of food—twelve baskets full.
21 Pea ko kinautolu naʻe kai, ko e tangata ʻe toko nima afe nai; kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kau fefine mo e tamaiki.
Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides 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.
Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he sent away the crowds.
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 had sent away the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.
24 Ka kuo ʻi he vaha ʻae vaka, ʻo tō mo hopo ʻi he peau: he naʻe tokai ʻae matangi.
But the boat was now a long way from land, being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was blowing against them.
25 Pea ʻi hono fā ʻoe leʻo ʻi he pō naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo hāʻele ʻi he [fukahi ]tahi.
In the fourth watch of the night Jesus approached 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 and said, “It is a ghost,” and they cried out in fear.
27 Ka naʻe lea leva ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Fiemālie pe; he ko au pe; ʻoua te mou manavahē.”
But Jesus spoke to them right away and said, “Be brave! It is I! Do not 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.”
Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”
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.
Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out from the boat and walked on the water to go to 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 Peter saw the wind, he became afraid. As he began to sink, he cried out and said, “Lord, save me!”
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?’
Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, took hold of Peter, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
32 Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki he vaka, pea malū ʻae matangi.
Then when Jesus and Peter went into the boat, the wind ceased blowing.
33 Pea haʻu ai ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he vaka, ʻo hū kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko e ʻAlo koe ʻoe ʻOtua.”
Then the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
34 Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko atu, naʻa nau tuʻu ki ʻuta ki he fonua ko Kenesaleti.
When they had crossed over, they came to land 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 men in that place recognized Jesus, they sent messages everywhere into the surrounding area, and they brought to him everyone who was sick.
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.
They begged him that they might just touch the edge of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
