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 Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they 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 responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, 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, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.’ So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know 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.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And leaving them behind, he went away.
5 Pea kuo hoko ʻene kau ākonga ki he kauvai ʻe taha, kuo ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ke ʻomi ʻae mā.
And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.
6 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Mou vakai telia ʻae meʻa fakatupu ʻae kau Fālesi pea mo e Satusi.”
And he said to them, “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te tau ʻomi ha mā.”
But they were thinking within themselves, saying, “It is because we have not brought 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?
Then Jesus, knowing this, said: “Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have 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 among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?
10 Pe ki he foʻi mā ʻe fitu ki he toko fā afe, mo e kato ʻe fiha naʻa mou ʻave?
Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, 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?”
Why do you not understand that it was not because of bread that I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and 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 was not saying that they should beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and 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?”
Then Jesus went into parts of Caesarea Philippi. And he questioned his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that the Son of man is?”
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.”
And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, still others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ka ʻoku pehē ʻekimoutolu ko hai au?”
Jesus said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Pea lea ʻa Saimone Pita, ʻo pehēange, “Ko koe ko e Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui.”
Simon Peter responded by saying, “You are 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 in response, Jesus said to him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed 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 upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell 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 you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever you shall release on earth shall be released, even 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 instructed his disciples that they should tell no one that he is Jesus 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 reveal to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the elders and the scribes and the leaders of the priests, and to be killed, and to rise again on 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, taking him aside, began to rebuke him, saying, “Lord, may it be far from you; this shall not happen to you.”
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.”
And turning away, Jesus said to Peter: “Get behind me, Satan; you are an obstacle to me. For you are not behaving according to what is of God, but according to what is 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 anyone is willing 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 would save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost 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 how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet truly suffers damage to his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 arrive in the glory of his Father, with his Angels. And then he will repay each one according to his works.
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.”
Amen I say to you, there are some among those standing here, who shall not taste death, until they see the Son of man arriving in his reign.”
