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.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from the sky.
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, 'It will be 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]?
When it is morning, you say, 'It will be foul weather, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret 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 for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.
5 Pea kuo hoko ʻene kau ākonga ki he kauvai ʻe taha, kuo ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ke ʻomi ʻae mā.
When the disciples reached the other side, they 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.”
Jesus said to them, “Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
7 Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te tau ʻomi ha mā.”
The disciples reasoned among themselves and said, “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?
Jesus was aware of this and said, “You of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves and say that it is because you have taken 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 perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered 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 for 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 was not speaking to you about bread? Take heed and beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and 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 telling them to beware of yeast in bread, but to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and 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?”
Now when Jesus came to the regions near Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do people 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.”
They said, “Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and 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 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.”
Answering, Simon Peter said, “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.
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood have 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)
I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church. The gates of Hades will 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.”
I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. 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 Jesus commanded the disciples that they should 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 started to tell his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things at the hand of the elders and chief priests and scribes, be killed, and be raised back to life 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.”
Then Peter took him aside and rebuked him, saying, “May this be far from you, Lord; may this never 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.”
But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you do not care for the things of God, but for the things of people.”
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 wants to follow me, he must deny himself, 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 wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will 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 does it profit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? What can a person give in exchange for 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. Then he will reward every person according to what he has done.
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.”
Truly I say to you, there are some of you standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
