1And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
1Pea kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ʻoe Penitekosi, kuo nau kātoa ʻo loto taha ʻi he potu pe taha.
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
2Pea fakafokifā naʻe ai ʻae ʻuʻulu mai mei he langi, ʻo hangē ha tuʻoni matangi mālohi ʻaupito, pea fakapito ʻaki ʻae fale kotoa pē naʻa nau nofo ai.
3And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
3Pea naʻe hā mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻelelo mangamanga ʻo hangē ko e afi, pea nofo ia ʻiate kinautolu taki taha.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
4Pea naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻa nau kamata leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, ʻo fakatatau ki hono fakaleaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.
5Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
5Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kakai Siu faʻa lotu, mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi lalo langi.
6And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
6Pea ʻi he mafola ʻae ongoongo ni, naʻe fakakātoa ʻae kakai, pea nau puputuʻu lahi, koeʻuhi naʻe fanongo ʻae tangata taki taha ki heʻenau lea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaʻana.
7And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
7Pea naʻe ofo mo fakatumutumu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Vakai, ʻikai ko e kau Kāleli kotoa pē ʻakinautolu na ʻoku lea?
8And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
8Pea ʻoku fēfē nai ʻoku tau taki taha fanongo ki heʻetau lea, naʻa tau fanauʻi ai?
9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
9Ko e kakai Patia, mo e Metia, mo e ʻElama, pea mo e kau nofo ʻi Mesopōtemia, mo Siutea, mo Kapatosia, mo Ponito, mo ʻEsia,
10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
10Mo Filisia, mo Pamifilia, mo ʻIsipite, pea mo e ngaahi potu ʻo Lipea ʻo ofi ki Sailine, mo e ngaahi muli mei Loma, ko e ngaahi Siu mo e kakai ului.
11Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.
11Ko e kakai, Keliti mo e ʻAlepea, ʻoku tau fanongo ʻoku nau lea ʻi heʻetau lea ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.”
12And they were all astonished, and wondered, saying one to another: What meaneth this?
12Pea naʻa nau ofo kotoa pē, ʻo taʻemaau honau loto, mo nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa ni?”
13But others mocking, said: These men are full of new wine.
13Kae manuki ʻae niʻihi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fonu ʻi he uaine foʻou ʻae kau tangata ni.”
14But Peter standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spoke to them: Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words.
14¶ Ka naʻe tutuʻu hake ʻa Pita, mo e toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, ʻo leaʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAkimoutolu ʻae kau tangata ʻo Siutea, mo kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻi Selūsalema, ke mou ʻilo eni, pea fakafanongo ki heʻeku lea:
15For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day:
15He ʻoku ʻikai konā ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou mahalo, he ko hono tolu pe eni ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻaho.
16But this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
16Ka ko eni ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko Sioeli;
17And it shall come to pass, in the last days, (saith the Lord,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
17‘ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻE hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻamui, te u huaʻi hifo hoku Laumālie ki he kakai kotoa pē: pea ʻe kikite ʻe homou ngaahi foha mo homou ngaahi ʻofefine, pea ʻe hā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki hoʻomou kau talavou, pea ʻe faʻa misi hoʻomou kau mātuʻa:
18And upon my servants indeed, and upon my handmaids will I pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
18Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, teu huaʻi hifo hoku Laumālie ki heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo ʻeku kau kaunanga; pea te nau kikite;
19And I will shew wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood and fire, and vapour of smoke.
19Pea te u fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he langi, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga ki lalo ʻi māmani; ko e toto mo e afi, mo e ʻahu ʻoe afi;
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord come.
20Pea ʻe liliu ʻae laʻā ʻo poʻuli, pea mo e māhina ʻo toto, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi pea fakamanavahē, ʻoe ʻEiki:
21And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
21Pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.’
22Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God did by him, in the midst of you, as you also know:
22“ʻAe kau tangata ʻIsileli, fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ni; ko Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e tangata mei he ʻOtua, pea naʻe ongoongo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mana, mo e ngāue fakaofo, mo e fakaʻilonga, ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate ia ʻi homou ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou ʻilo foki ki ai:
23This same being delivered up, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you by the hands of wicked men have crucified and slain.
23ʻAia naʻe tukuange ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene fakakaukau poto mo ʻene muʻaki ʻilo, pea naʻa mou puke ʻaki ia ʻae nima angahala, ʻo tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, ʻo tāmateʻi:
24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the sorrows of hell, as it was impossible that he should be holden by it.
24ʻAia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he veteange ʻoe mamahi ʻoe mate: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa taʻofi ʻaki ia.
25For David saith concerning him: I foresaw the Lord before my face: because he is at my right hand, that I may not be moved.
25He ʻoku lea ʻa Tevita kiate ia, ‘Naʻaku mamata maʻu ki he ʻEiki ʻi hoku ʻao, he ʻoku ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu ia, ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi au:
26For this my heart hath been glad, and any tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
26Ko ia naʻe fiefia ai hoku loto, pea fiefia mo hoku ʻelelo; pea ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:
27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
27Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life: thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
28Kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui; te ke fakafonu ʻaki au ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao.’
29Ye men, brethren, let me freely speak to you of the patriarch David; that he died, and was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this present day.
29“ʻAe kau tangata mo e kāinga, tuku ke u lea ʻo fakamatala atu kiate kimoutolu ki he ʻeiki ʻi muʻa ko Tevita, he kuo pekia ia pea tanu, pea ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu hono fonualoto ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
30Whereas therefore he was a prophet, and knew that God hath sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit upon his throne.
30Pea ko e palōfita ia, pea naʻa ne ʻilo kuo fuakava ʻe he ʻOtua kiate ia, te ne fokotuʻu ʻi hono hako, ʻo fakatatau ki he kakano, ʻae Kalaisi, ke nofo ʻi hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi;
31Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell, neither did his flesh see corruption.
31Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ia ʻi muʻa, naʻa ne lea ki he toetuʻu ʻo Kalaisi, ‘Naʻe ʻikai tuku maʻu hono laumālie ʻi hētesi, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe hono sino ʻae ʻauʻauha.’
32This Jesus hath God raised again, whereof all we are witnesses.
32Pea ko e Sisu ni kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
33Being exalted therefore by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath poured forth this which you see and hear.
33Ko ia, ʻi hono hakeakiʻi ʻe he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻi heʻene maʻu mei he Tamai ʻae talaʻofa ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, kuo ne huaʻi hifo eni, ʻaia ʻoku mou mamata mo fanongo ki ai ni.
34For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
34He naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita ki he langi: ka naʻe pehē mai ʻe ia, ‘Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ki heʻeku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
35Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
35Kae ʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.’
36Therefore let all the house of Israel know most certainly, that God hath made both Lord and Christ, this same Jesus, whom you have crucified.
36“Ko ia ke ʻilo pau ʻe he fale kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, kuo fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae Sisu ko ia, ʻaia naʻa mou tutuki ki he ʻakau, ko e ʻEiki mo e Kalaisi.”
37Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren?
37¶ Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo eni, naʻe mahuhuhuhu honau loto, pea naʻa nau pehē kia Pita mo hono toe ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo, ʻae kau tangata mo e kāinga, “Ko e hā te mau fai?”
38But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
38Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita kiate kinautolu, “Fakatomala, pea mou taki taha papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke fakamolemole ai ʻae angahala, pea te mou maʻu mo e foaki ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
39For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are far off, whomsoever the Lord our God shall call.
39He ko e talaʻofa eni kiate kimoutolu, mo hoʻomou fānau, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku mamaʻo, ʻaia kotoa pē ʻe ui ʻe he ʻEiki ko hotau ʻOtua.”
40And with very many other words did he testify and exhort them, saying: Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
40Pea naʻe lahi ʻae lea kehekehe naʻa ne fakamoʻoni mo akonakiʻaki, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he toʻutangata paongataʻa ni.”
41They therefore that received his word, were baptized; and there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
41¶ Pea ko kinautolu naʻe maʻu fiefia ʻene lea, naʻa nau papitaiso: pea ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe ului ʻae kakai ʻe toko tolu afe nai.
42And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
42Pea naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he akonaki ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, mo e feʻofoʻofani, mo e tofi ʻoe mā, mo e fehūfekina.
43And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all.
43Pea naʻe tō ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻae manavahē: pea naʻe lahi ʻae meʻa fakaofo mo e meʻa mana naʻe fai ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo.
44And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common.
44Pea naʻe loto taha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tui, pea naʻe meʻa taha pē ʻakinautolu;
45Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
45Pea naʻa nau fakatau honau ngaahi ʻapi mo ʻenau meʻa, pea tufa ki he kakai taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene masiva.
46And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart;
46Pea naʻa nau ʻalu loto taha ki he falelotu lahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, mo nau tofitofi mā ʻi he ngaahi fale, pea kai ʻenau meʻakai ʻi he fiefia mo e loto taʻekākā,
47Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
47ʻO fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻofeina ʻe he kakai kotoa pē. Pea naʻe fakaului ʻe he ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻakinautolu kuo fakamoʻui.
