Mātiu 16
1 Pea haʻu kiate ia ʻae kau Fālesi mo e Sātusi, ʻo ʻahiʻahiʻi ia ʻi heʻenau holi ke ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ha fakaʻilonga mei he langi.
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt him, and asked him to show them a sign from heaven.
2 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka efiafi, ʻoku mou pehē, ‘ʻE ʻafua he ʻoku kulokula ʻae langi.’
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, Fair weather; for the sky is red.
3 Pea pongipongi ai, ‘ʻE ʻalotāmaki ʻae ʻaho ni, he ʻoku kulokula mo fetautauʻi ʻae langi.’ ʻAe kau mālualoi! ʻOku mou faʻa ʻilo ki he mata ʻoe langi; ka ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa [ʻilo ]ʻae ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻoe kuonga [ni]?
And in the morning, A storm to-day; for the sky is red and lowering. Hypocrites! you know how to judge of the face of the sky; but you can not judge of the signs of the times.
4 Ko e toʻutangata angakovi mo feʻauaki ʻoku kumi ʻae fakaʻilonga; pea ʻe ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga ʻe ʻoatu ki ai, ka ko e fakaʻilonga pe ʻoe palōfita ko Siona.” Pea tukuange ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, kae ʻalu.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign: and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. And he left them and departed.
5 Pea kuo hoko ʻene kau ākonga ki he kauvai ʻe taha, kuo ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ke ʻomi ʻae mā.
And his disciples came to the other side, and had forgotten to take bread.
6 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Mou vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi pea mo e Satusi.”
And Jesus said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
7 Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te tau ʻomi ha mā.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: It is because we took no bread.
8 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe Sisu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku siʻi hoʻomou tui, ko e hā ʻoku mou fealēleaʻaki ai, ʻi hoʻomou taʻeʻomi ha mā?
And Jesus perceiving it, said to them: O you of little faith! why are you reasoning among yourselves because you took no bread?
9 ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo, pe manatu ki he foʻi mā ʻe nima ki he toko nima afe, mo e kato ʻe fiha naʻa mou ʻave?
Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
10 Pe ki he foʻi mā ʻe fitu ki he toko fā afe, mo e kato ʻe fiha naʻa mou ʻave?
Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
11 Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻilo naʻe ʻikai [ko e lea ]ki he mā ʻa ʻeku pehē kiate kimoutolu, Mou vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi pea mo e Sātusi?”
How is it that you do not understand, that I did not speak of bread when I commanded you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Pea ne nau toki ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ko ʻene tala ke nau vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻoe mā, ka ko e akonaki ʻae kau Fālesi mo e kau Sātusi.
Then they understood that he did not bid them beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
13 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Sisu ki he potu ʻo Sesalia ʻi Filipai, naʻe fehuʻi ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he kakai pe ko hai au ko e Foha ʻoe tangata?”
When Jesus came into the regions of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying: Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am?
14 Pea nau pehē, “[ʻOku lea ]ʻae niʻihi, ko Sione ko e Papitaiso; ko e niʻihi, ko ʻIlaisiā; mo e niʻihi, ko Selemaia, pe ha taha ʻoe kau palōfita.”
They replied: Some say that thou art John the Immerser; others, Elijah; others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
15 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu ko hai au?”
He said to them: But who say you that I am?
16 Pea lea ʻa Saimone Pita, ʻo pehēange, “Ko koe ko e Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.”
Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Saimone Pāsiona, ʻoku ke monūʻia: he naʻe ʻikai fakahā ia kiate koe ʻe he kakano mo e toto, ka ko ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
And Jesus answered and said to him: Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah; for flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 Pea ʻoku ou tala atu foki kiate koe, Ko Pita koe, pea te u langa hoku siasi ki he maka ni; pea ʻe ʻikai lavaʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi matapā ʻo hētesi. (Hadēs g86)
And I say to you, That you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. (Hadēs g86)
19 Pea te u ʻoatu kiate koe ʻae kī ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe langi: pea ko ia kotoa pē te ke nonoʻo ʻi māmani, ʻe nonoʻo ia ʻi he langi; pea ko ia te ke veteki ʻi māmani, ʻe veteki ia ʻi he langi.”
And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Pea naʻa ne toki fekau ki heʻene kau ākonga, ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakahā ki ha tokotaha ko Sisu ia ko e Kalaisi.
Then he charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
21 Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻe kamata fakahā ai ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, “ʻE ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema, pea ne kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻi he kau mātuʻa, mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e kau tangata tohi, pea ʻe tāmateʻi ia, pea toe fokotuʻu ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.”
From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and be raised again the third day.
22 Ka ka ʻave ia ʻe Pita, ʻo kamata valokiʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke mamaʻo ia ʻiate koe, ʻEiki: ʻe ʻikai hoko eni kiate koe.”
And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying: Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be to thee.
23 Ka naʻe tafoki ia, ʻo ne pehē kia Pita, “ʻAlu ki hoku tuʻa, Sētane: ko e fakahala koe kiate au: he ʻoku ʻikai te ke leleiʻia ʻi he meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, ka ʻi he meʻa ʻae tangata.”
But he turned and said to Peter: Get behind me, adversary; you are a snare to me: for you are not thinking of the things of God; but of the things of men.
24 Pea toki pehē ai ʻe Sisu ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Kapau ʻe muimui ha taha ʻiate au, tuku ke ne liʻaki ʻe ia ia, pea toʻo hake ʻene ʻakau māfasia ʻo muimui ʻiate au.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any one determines to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 He ko ia ʻe kalofaki ʻene moʻui, ʻe mole ia: pea ko ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko au, te ne maʻu ia.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it. But whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.
26 He ko e hā hono ʻaonga ki he tangata, ʻo kapau te ne maʻu ʻa māmani kotoa pē, kae mole ai hono laumālie ʻoʻona; pe ko e hā ʻe foaki ʻe ha tangata ke fetongi ʻaki hono laumālie?
For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own life? Or, what will a man give as the ransom of his life?
27 He ko e Foha ʻoe tangata ʻe haʻu ia ʻi he nāunau ʻo ʻene Tamai mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo; pea te ne toki totongi ai ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngāue.
For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he will reward every one according to his deeds.
28 Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻOku tutuʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻi heni, ʻe ʻikai te nau kamata ʻae mate, kaeʻoua ke nau vakai ki he Foha ʻoe tangata ʻoku haʻu ʻi hono puleʻanga.”
Verily I say to you, There are some standing here that shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
