Sione 11
1Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
1PEA naʻe mahaki ʻa Lasalosi, ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻi Pētani, ko e kolo ʻa Mele mo hono tokoua ko Māʻata.
2It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
2(Ko e Mele ko ia ia naʻa ne tākai ʻae ʻEiki ʻaki ʻae lolo, ʻo ne holoholo hono vaʻe ʻaki hono louʻulu, naʻe mahaki hono tuongaʻane ko Lasalosi.)
3So the sisters sent to him, saying, “Lord, he whom you love is ill.”
3Ko ia naʻe fekau ai ʻe hono ongo tuofefine kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, vakai, ko ia ʻoku ke ʻofa ai ʻoku mahaki.”
4But when Jesus heard it he said,“This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
4Pea kuo fanongo ʻa Sisu, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e mahaki eni ke mate ai, ka ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻOtua, pea ke ongoongolelei ai ʻae ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua.”
5Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
5Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sisu kia Māʻata, mo hono tehina, mo Lasalosi.
6So, when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.
6Pea kuo fanongo ia ki heʻene mahaki, naʻa ne kei nofo ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo ʻaho ua.
7Then after this he said to the disciples,“Let us go to Judea again.”
7Hili ia, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kau ākonga, “Ke tau toe ʻalu ki Siutea.”
8The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are you going there again?”
8Pea tala ʻe he kau ākonga kiate ia, “Lāpai, naʻe toki kumi ʻe he kau Siu ke tolongaki koe ʻaki ʻae maka; pea ʻoku ke toe ʻalu ki ai?”
9Jesus answered,“Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
9Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu, “ʻIkai ʻoku hongofulu ma ua ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻi he ʻaho? Kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he ʻaho, ʻoku ʻikai tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku mamata ia ki he maama ʻoe māmani.
10But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
10Pea kapau ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ha tangata ʻi he poʻuli, ʻoku tūkia ia, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha maama ʻi ai.”
11After saying these things, he said to them,“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.”
11Naʻe hili ʻene lea ni, pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko hotau kāinga ko Lasalosi ʻoku mohe; ka ʻoku ou ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u fafangu ia mei he mohe.”
12The disciples said to him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
12Pea pehē ai ʻe heʻene kau ākonga, “ʻEiki, kapau ʻoku mohe, ʻe lelei ai ia.”
13Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.
13Naʻe lea ʻa Sisu ki heʻene mate ka naʻa nau mahalo ko ʻene lea ki he mālōlō ʻi he mohe.
14Then Jesus told them plainly,“Lazarus has died,
14Pea toki tala fakatotonu ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mate ʻa Lasalosi.
15and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
15Pea ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi he ʻikai te u ʻi ai, koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou tui; ka tau ō kiate ia.”
16So Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
16Pea lea ai ʻa Tōmasi, ʻoku ui ko Titimasi, ki heʻene kaungā ākonga, “Ke tau ō foki, ka tau mate mo ia.”
17Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
17Pea kuo ʻalu atu ʻa Sisu, pea ne ʻilo kuo ʻaho fā hono tuku ia ki he faʻitoka.
18Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,
18Pea naʻe ofi ʻa Pētani ki Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe ua nai hono mamaʻo.
19and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.
19Pea haʻu ʻae kau Siu tokolahi kia Māʻata mo Mele, ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinaua koeʻuhi ko hona tuongaʻane.
20So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
20Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Māʻata ʻoku haʻu ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻa Mele ʻi he fale.
21Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
21Pea lea ai ʻa Māʻata kia Sisu, ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.
22But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
22Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻa eni, ko ia kotoa pē te ke kolea ki he ʻOtua, ʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”
23Jesus said to her,“Your brother will rise again.”
23Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “ʻE toetuʻu ho tuongaʻane.”
24Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
24Pea tala ʻe Māʻata kiate ia, “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi he toetuʻu ʻi he ʻaho fakamui.”
25Jesus said to her,“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
25Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ka ne mate ia, ʻe moʻui pe ia:
26and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
26Pea ko ia ʻoku moʻui mo tui kiate au, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mate ia. ʻOku ke tui ki ai?”
27She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.”
27Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIo, ʻEiki: ʻoku ou tui ko e Kalaisi ʻa koe, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe totonu ke haʻu ki māmani.”
28When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
28Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻe ʻalu ia, ʻo ne ui fakafufū hono tehina ko Mele, ʻo ne pehē, Kuo haʻu ʻae Akonaki, pea ʻoku fehuʻi kiate koe.”
29And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.
29Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ia, naʻa ne tuʻu hake leva, ʻo haʻu kiate ia.
30Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.
30Pea kuo teʻeki hoko ʻa Sisu ki he kolo, ka naʻe ʻi he potu ko ia naʻe fakafetaulaki ai ʻa Māʻata kiate ia.
31When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
31Pea ko e kau Siu naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi he fale, ʻonau fakafiemālieʻi ia, ʻi heʻenau vakai ʻoku tuʻu fakavave ʻa Mele, ʻo ʻalu kituʻa, naʻa nau muimui ai, ʻonau pehē, ʻOku ʻalu ia ki he faʻitoka ke tangi ai.
32Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
32Pea kuo ʻalu ange ʻa Mele ki he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sisu, ʻo ne mamata ki ai, pea tōmapeʻe ia ki hono vaʻe, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻEiki, ka ne ke ʻi heni, pehē, ne ʻikai mate hoku tuongaʻane.”
33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.
33Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Sisu kiate ia ʻoku tangi, pea tangi foki mo e kakai Siu naʻe haʻu mo ia, pea toʻe ia ʻi he laumālie, pea mamahi ia,
34And he said,“Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
34ʻO ne pehē, “Kuo mou tuku ʻi fē ia? Pea nau tala kiate ia, ʻEiki, haʻu ʻo mamata.”
35Jesus wept.
35Pea tangi ʻa Sisu.
36So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
36Pea lea ai ʻae kau Siu, “Vakai ki hono lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa kiate ia.”
37But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?”
37Pea lea ʻa honau niʻihi, “ʻIkai ʻe mafai ʻe he tangata ni, ʻoku ne fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa mate ʻae tangata ni?”
38Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
38Pea ko ia naʻe toʻetoʻe ʻa Sisu ʻi hono loto, pea ʻalu atu ki he tanuʻanga. Ko e ʻana ia pea naʻe tāpuni ʻaki ia ʻae maka.
39Jesus said,“Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.”
39Pea tala ʻe Sisu, “Mou toʻo ʻae maka.” Pea lea kiate ia ʻa Māʻata, ko e tuofefine ʻo ia kuo mate, ʻEiki, kuo namuhāhā: he ko hono ʻaho fā eni.
40Jesus said to her,“Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”
40Pea lea ʻa Sisu kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe, kapau te ke tui, te ke mamata ki he māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua?”
41So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,“Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
41Pea naʻa nau toʻo ʻae maka mei he potu naʻe tuku ai ʻae mate. Pea hanga hake ʻae fofonga ʻo Sisu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kuo ke ongoʻi au.
42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.”
42Pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke ongoʻi maʻu aipē au: ka ko e meʻa ʻi he kakai ʻoku tutuʻu ni, ko ia kuo u lea ai, koeʻuhi ke nau tui naʻa ke fekau au.”
43When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice,“Lazarus, come out.”
43Pea hili ʻene lea pehē, pea lea leʻo lahi ia, “Lasalosi, tuʻu mai.”
44The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them,“Unbind him, and let him go.”
44Pea naʻe tuʻu mai ʻaia naʻe mate, kuo haʻihaʻi hono nima mo e vaʻe ʻaki ʻae kofu tanu: pea kuo nonoʻo ʻaki hono mata ʻae holoholo. Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Vevete, ʻo tukuange ia.”
45Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him,
45Pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau Siu naʻe haʻu kia Mele, hili ʻenau mamata ki he ngāue naʻe fai ʻe Sisu, naʻa nau tui kiate ia.
46but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
46Ka naʻe ʻalu honau niʻihi ki he kau Fālesi, ʻo tala kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe Sisu.
47So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the Council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.
47Pea fakataha ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi ʻae kau fakamaau, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻoku tau fai? He ʻoku fai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae ngaahi mana lahi.
48If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”
48Kapau te tau tuku noa ai pe ia, ʻe tui kotoa pē kiate ia: pea ʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Loma, ʻo fakaʻauha hotau potu mo hotau puleʻanga.”
49But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all.
49Pea ko honau tokotaha, ko Kaiafasi, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ha meʻa,
50Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.”
50Pea tokanga ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu, ke mate ha tangata ʻe tokotaha maʻae kakai, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻauha ʻae puleʻanga kotoa.”
51He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
51Pea naʻe ʻikai meiate ia ʻene lea ko ia: ka ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ia ʻi he taʻu ko ia, pea ne kikite ʻe mate ʻa Sisu ki he puleʻanga ko ia;
52and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
52Pea ʻoku ʻikai ki he puleʻanga pe ko ia, ka koeʻuhi ke ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua kuo fakahēʻi mamaʻo.
53So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.
53Pea talu mei he ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau alea fakataha ke tāmateʻi ia.
54Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and there he stayed with the disciples.
54Ko ia naʻe ʻikai toe ʻalu fakahā ʻa Sisu ʻi he kakai Siu; ka naʻe mahuʻi ia mei ai ki he fonua ofi ki he toafa, ki he kolo naʻe ui ko ʻEfalemi, pea nofo ai mo ʻene kau ākonga.
55Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves.
55Pea kuo ofi ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu ʻae kakai Siu: naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tokolahi mei he tukuʻuta ki Selūsalema, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae kātoanga ke fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
56They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”
56Pea naʻa nau kumi ʻa Sisu, ʻonau fealēleaʻaki, ʻi heʻenau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, “Ko e hā hoʻomou mahalo? ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kātoanga?”
57Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
57He kuo fekau ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, mo e Fālesi, kapau kuo ʻilo ʻe ha tangata pe ʻoku ʻi fē ia, ke ne fakahā, ka nau puke ia.
