1Pea kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ʻoe Penitekosi, kuo nau kātoa ʻo loto taha ʻi he potu pe taha.
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
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.
2Suddenly a sound like a mighty rushing wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3Pea naʻe hā mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻelelo mangamanga ʻo hangē ko e afi, pea nofo ia ʻiate kinautolu taki taha.
3They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
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.
4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
5Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kakai Siu faʻa lotu, mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi lalo langi.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
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.
6And when this sound rang out, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking his own language.
7Pea naʻe ofo mo fakatumutumu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Vakai, ʻikai ko e kau Kāleli kotoa pē ʻakinautolu na ʻoku lea?
7Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?
8Pea ʻoku fēfē nai ʻoku tau taki taha fanongo ki heʻetau lea, naʻa tau fanauʻi ai?
8How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language?
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,
9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
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.
10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome,
11Ko e kakai, Keliti mo e ʻAlepea, ʻoku tau fanongo ʻoku nau lea ʻi heʻetau lea ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.”
11both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
12Pea naʻa nau ofo kotoa pē, ʻo taʻemaau honau loto, mo nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa ni?”
12Astounded and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13Kae manuki ʻae niʻihi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fonu ʻi he uaine foʻou ʻae kau tangata ni.”
13But others mocked them and said, “They are drunk on new wine!”
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:
14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words.
15He ʻoku ʻikai konā ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou mahalo, he ko hono tolu pe eni ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻaho.
15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!
16Ka ko eni ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko Sioeli;
16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
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:
17‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
18Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, teu huaʻi hifo hoku Laumālie ki heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo ʻeku kau kaunanga; pea te nau kikite;
18Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
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;
19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20Pea ʻe liliu ʻae laʻā ʻo poʻuli, pea mo e māhina ʻo toto, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi pea fakamanavahē, ʻoe ʻEiki:
20The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.
21Pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.’
21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
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:
22Men of Israel, listen to this message: Jesus of Nazareth was a man certified by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know.
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:
23He was delivered up by God’s set plan and foreknowledge, and you, by the hands of the lawless, put Him to death by nailing Him to the cross.
24ʻAia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he veteange ʻoe mamahi ʻoe mate: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa taʻofi ʻaki ia.
24But God raised Him from the dead, releasing Him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for Him to be held in its clutches.
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:
25David says about Him: ‘I saw the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26Ko ia naʻe fiefia ai hoku loto, pea fiefia mo hoku ʻelelo; pea ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell in hope,
27Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
27because You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.
28Kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui; te ke fakafonu ʻaki au ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao.’
28You have made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
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.
29Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
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;
30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
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.’
31Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
32Pea ko e Sisu ni kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
32God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.
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.
33Exalted, then, to the right hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
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,
34For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
35Kae ʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.’
35until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
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.”
36Therefore let all Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ!”
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?”
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and asked Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
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.
38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
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.”
39This promise belongs to you and your children and to all who are far off—to all whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.”
40Pea naʻe lahi ʻae lea kehekehe naʻa ne fakamoʻoni mo akonakiʻaki, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he toʻutangata paongataʻa ni.”
40With many other words he testified, and he urged them, “Be saved from this corrupt generation.”
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.
41Those who embraced his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to the believers that day.
42Pea naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he akonaki ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, mo e feʻofoʻofani, mo e tofi ʻoe mā, mo e fehūfekina.
42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
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.
43A sense of awe came over everyone, and the apostles performed many wonders and signs.
44Pea naʻe loto taha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tui, pea naʻe meʻa taha pē ʻakinautolu;
44All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45Pea naʻa nau fakatau honau ngaahi ʻapi mo ʻenau meʻa, pea tufa ki he kakai taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene masiva.
45Selling their possessions and goods, they shared with anyone who was in need.
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,
46With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart,
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.
47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
