Sione 7
1After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
1HILI ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fononga fano ʻa Sisu ʻi Kāleli: he naʻe ʻikai fie fononga ia ʻi Siutea, he naʻe holi ʻae kakai Siu ke tāmateʻi ia.
2Now the Jews’ Feast of Booths was at hand.
2Pea ko e kātoanga ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻae kakai Siu, naʻe ofi.
3So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.
3Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe hono kāinga kiate ia, “ʻAlu ʻi heni, ʻo ʻalu ki Siutea, koeʻuhi ke mamata foki ʻa hoʻo kau ākonga ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻoku ke fai.
4For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”
4He ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku holi ke ongoongo, pea ne fai fakalilolilo ha meʻa. Kapau ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, fakahā koe ki māmani.”
5For not even his brothers believed in him.
5He naʻe ʻikai tui foki ʻa hono kāinga kiate ia.
6Jesus said to them,“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.
6Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku teʻeki ai hoko hoku ʻaho: ka ʻoku tatau kotoa pē ʻae ʻaho kiate kimoutolu.
7The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
7ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fehiʻa ʻa māmani kiate kimoutolu; ka ʻoku fehiʻa ia kiate au, koeʻuhi ʻoku ou fakahā ki ai, ʻoku kovi ʻene ngaahi ngāue.
8You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”
8Mou ʻalu hake ki he kātoanga ni: ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu leva ki he kātoanga ni; he ʻoku teʻeki ai hokosia hoku ʻaho.”
9After saying this, he remained in Galilee.
9Hili ʻene lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kiate kinautolu, pea nofo pe ia ʻi Kāleli.
10But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.
10Ka kuo ʻalu hono kāinga, pea toki ʻalu foki ia ki he kātoanga, naʻe ʻikai ʻi he fakahā, kae fakafufū pe.
11The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?”
11Pea kumi ia ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi he kātoanga, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e fē ia?”
12And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.”
12Pea naʻe lahi ʻae fefanafanahi ʻi he kakai koeʻuhi ko ia: he naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e tangata lelei ia:” kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku ʻikai; he ʻoku ne fakahalaʻi ʻae kakai.”
13Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
13Ka naʻe ʻikai lea fakahā ʻe ha taha kiate ia, ko ʻenau manavahē ki he kakai Siu.
14About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.
14Pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻae kātoanga, naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Sisu ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo akonaki.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?”
15Pea ofo ʻae kakai Siu, ʻo nau pehē, “ʻOku ʻilo fakafēfē ʻe he tangata ni ʻae poto, he naʻe ʻikai akonekina?”
16So Jesus answered them,“My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16Pea leaange ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, ʻO ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku, ka ʻoku ʻaʻana naʻa ne fekau au.
17If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.
17Pea ko ia ia ʻe fai ki hono finangalo, te ne ʻilo ʻae akonaki, pe ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ia, pe ko ʻeku lea ʻiate au pe.
18The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
18Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻiate ia pē, ʻoku kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻaʻana: ka ko ia ʻoku ne kumi ʻae fakamālō ʻo ia naʻa ne fekau ia, ko ia ia ʻoku moʻoni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻiate ia.
19Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
19ʻIkai naʻe ʻatu ʻe Mōsese ʻae fono kiate kimoutolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai hamou tokotaha ʻoku ne fai ki he fono? Ko e hā ʻoku mou kumi ai ke tāmateʻi au?”
20The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
20Pea leaange ʻae kakai, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ʻiate koe ha tēvolo: ko hai ʻoku kumi ke tāmateʻi koe?
21Jesus answered them,“I did one work, and you all marvel at it.
21Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo u fai ʻae ngāue ʻe taha, pea ʻoku mou ofo ai kotoa pē.
22Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
22Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Mōsese ʻae kamu kiate kimoutolu; (ka ʻoku ʻikai mei ʻa Mōsese ia, kae mei he ngaahi tamai; pea ʻoku kamuʻi ʻekimoutolu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
23If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well?
23Pea kapau ʻe kamu ʻae tama tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maumauʻi ʻae fono ʻa Mōsese; ʻoku mou ʻita kiate au, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻui haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate?
24Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
24ʻOua te mou fakamaau ʻo fakatatau mo ia ʻoku ha mai, kae fakamaau ke totonu.”
25Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?
25Pea lea ai ha niʻihi mei Selūsalema, “ʻIkai ko eni ia ʻoku nau kumi ke tāmateʻi?
26And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?
26Pea vakai, ʻoku lea mālohi ia, kae ʻikai siʻi te nau lea kiate ia. ʻOku ʻilo moʻoni ʻe he kau pule ko e Kalaisi totonu eni?
27But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”
27He ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻae potu ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻae tangata ni: ka ʻoka haʻu ʻa Kalaisi, ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mei fē ia.”
28So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple,“You know me, and you know where I come from? But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
28Pea kalanga ʻa Sisu ʻi he falelotu lahi ʻi heʻene akonaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mou ʻilo au, pea ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻae potu ʻoku ou haʻu mei ai: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u haʻu ʻiate au pē, ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ʻoku moʻoni ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻiloa.
29I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
29Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: he ʻoku ou meiate ia, pea naʻa ne fekau au.”
30So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30Pea naʻa nau holi ai ke puke ia ka naʻe ʻikai ala ha taha kiate ia, he naʻe teʻeki hoko hono ʻaho.
31Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
31Pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻoe kakai kiate ia, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOka haʻu ʻae Kalaisi, ʻe lahi hake ʻae mana ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni kuo fai ʻe he tangata ni?”
32The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kau Fālesi ʻoku fefanafanahi ʻae kakai kiate ia; pea fekau ʻe he kau Fālesi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi ʻae kau tangata fekau, ke nau puke ia.
33Jesus then said,“I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
33Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku toe siʻi pe ʻeku ʻiate kimoutolu, peau ʻalu kiate ia naʻa ne fekau au.”
34You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”
34Te mou kumi au, pea ʻikai ʻiloʻi pea ko e potu te u ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa lava ki ai.
35The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35Pea fepehēʻaki ai ʻae kakai Siu, “ʻE ʻalu ki fē ia, ʻe ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia? Te ne ʻalu ki he ngaahi Senitaile kuo fakahēʻi, pea ako ki he Senitaile?
36What does he mean by saying,‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and,‘Where I am you cannot come’ ?”
36Ko e hā ʻae lea ko eni ʻoku ne pehē ai, Te mou kumi au, pea ʻikai te mou ʻiloʻi: pea ko e potu te u ʻi ai, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa lava ki ai?”
37On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out,“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
37ʻI he ʻaho fakaʻosi, ko e ʻaho lahi ʻoe kātoanga, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo kalanga, ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku fieinu ha tangata, ke haʻu ia kiate au ʻo inu.
38Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
38Ko ia ʻoku tui kiate au, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fakahā ʻi he tohi, ‘ʻE tafe mei hono loto ʻae ngaahi vai moʻui.’|”
39Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
39(Ka ko ʻene lea ia ki he Laumālie, ʻaia ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻoku tui kiate ia: he naʻe teʻeki ai foaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai hakeakiʻi ʻa Sisu.)
40When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.”
40Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kakai tokolahi ki he lea ni, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ko eni ʻae Palōfita.”
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee?
41Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko eni ʻae Kalaisi.” Ka naʻe lea ʻae niʻihi, “ʻE haʻu ʻae Kalaisi mei Kāleli?
42Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42ʻIkai ʻoku tala ʻi he tohi, ʻE haʻu ʻae Kalaisi ʻi he hako ʻo Tevita, pea mei he kolo ko Petelihema, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Tevita?”
43So there was a division among the people over him.
43Pea naʻe fakakikihi ʻae kakai ko e meʻa ʻiate ia.
44Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
44Pea naʻe loto ʻa honau niʻihi ke puke ia; ka naʻe ʻikai ala ha taha kiate ia.
45The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
45Pea haʻu ai ʻae kau tangata fekau ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau Fālesi; pea nau pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te mou ʻomi ia?”
46The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!”
46Pea talaange ʻe he kau tangata fekau, “ʻOku teʻeki ʻaupito ha tangata ʻe lea ʻo hangē ko e tangata ni.”
47The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
47Pea toki pehē ʻe he kau Fālesi kiate kinautolu, “Kuo kākaaʻi mo kimoutolu foki?
48Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?
48He kuo tui kiate ia ha niʻihi ʻi he kau pule pe ʻi he kau Fālesi?
49But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
49Ka kuo malaʻia ʻae kakai ni ʻoku taʻeʻilo ki he fono.”
50Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,
50Pea lea ʻa Nikotimasi kiate kinautolu, (ko ia ia naʻe haʻu kia Sisu ʻi he poʻuli,) he ko honau tokotaha ia,
51“Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”
51“ʻOku tukuakiʻi ha tangata ʻe hotau fono ʻi he teʻeki fanongo ki ai, pea ʻilo ʻaia ʻoku ne fai?”
52They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.” [THE EARLIEST MANUSCRIPTS DO NOT INCLUDE 7:53–8:11.]
52Pea naʻa nau leaange, ʻo pehē kiate ia, “He ko e Kāleli foki ʻa koe? Kumi, pea vakai: he ʻoku ʻikai ha palōfita ʻe tupu mei Kāleli.”
53[[They went each to his own house,
53Pea naʻe taki taha ʻalu ki hono fale.
