1Pea ʻi heʻena kei lea ki he kakai, naʻe feʻohofi kiate kinaua ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e pule ʻoe falelotu lahi, pea mo e kau Sātusi,
1While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,
2He kuo nau kina ʻi heʻena ako ki he kakai, mo ʻena malangaʻaki ʻae toetuʻu ʻa Sisu mei he mate.
2greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3Pea naʻa nau puke ʻakinaua, ʻo tuku ki he fale fakapōpula, kaeʻoua ke ʻaho: he kuo efiafi.
3They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.
4Ka naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu naʻe fanongo ki he folofola; pea ko hono lau ʻoe kakai ko e toko nima afe nai.
4But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
5¶ Pea pehē, kuo pongipongi hake, naʻe kātoa ki Selūsalema honau kau pule, mo e mātuʻa, mo e kau tangata tohi,
5The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
6Mo ʻAnasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo Kaiafasi, mo Sione, mo ʻAlekisānita, pea mo e kāinga kotoa pē ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi.
6along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.
7Pea kuo ʻomi ʻakinaua ki honau ʻao, naʻa nau fehuʻi, ʻo pehē , “Ko e mālohi fē, mo e hingoa ʻo hai, kuo mo fai ai ʻae meʻa ni?”
7They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8Pea kuo fonu ʻa Pita ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻAkimoutolu, ko e kau pule ʻoe kakai, mo e mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli,
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people!
9Kapau ʻoku ʻekea ʻakimaua he ʻaho ni ki he ngāue lelei ki he tangata pipiki, pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa naʻe fakamoʻui ai ia;
9If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed,
10Ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu kotoa pē, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ʻo Nāsaleti, ʻaia ne mou tutuki ki he ʻakau, ka kuo fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate, ko ia pe kuo tuʻu ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi homou ʻao kuo haohaoa.
10then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
11‘Ko e maka eni naʻe liʻaki ʻekimoutolu ko e kau tufunga, ʻaia kuo hoko ko e fungani maka tuliki.’
11This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
12Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamoʻui ʻi ha taha kehe: he ʻoku ʻikai ke tuku mo ha hingoa ki he kakai ʻi lalo langi, ke tau moʻui ai.
12Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
13¶ Pea kuo nau mamata ki he taʻemāluʻia ʻa Pita mo Sione, mo nau ʻilo ko e ongo tangata meʻavale, pea taʻepoto, pea nau ofo; pea naʻa nau ʻilo kiate kinaua, naʻa na ʻia Sisu.
13When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they marveled and took note that these men had been with Jesus.
14Ka ʻi heʻenau vakai ki he tangata kuo fakamoʻui, ʻoku nau tutuʻu fakataha mo kinaua, pea ʻikai te nau faʻa lea ki ai.
14And seeing the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in response.
15Pea hili ʻenau fekau ʻakinaua ke ʻalu siʻi atu mei he fakamaauʻanga, naʻa nau alea ʻiate kinautolu,
15So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.
16ʻO nau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa te tau fai ki he ongo tangata ni? He kuo fai moʻoni ʻekinaua ʻae mana lahi, pea ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻekinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema; pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa fakaʻikai ki ai.
16“What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.
17Ka koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa kei mafola ia ʻi he kakai, ke tau fakamanaʻi ʻakinaua ʻo lahi, ke ʻoua naʻa na toe lea ki ha tangata ʻi he hingoa ni.”
17But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”
18Pea naʻa nau ui ʻakinaua, ʻo fekau mālohi kiate kinaua, ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa na lea pe ako ʻi he hingoa ʻo Sisu.
18Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19Ka naʻe lea atu kiate kinautolu ʻa Pita mo Sione, ʻo pehē, “Mou fifili, pe ʻoku lelei ʻa fē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻa ʻema talangofua kiate kimoutolu, pē ki he ʻOtua.
19But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.
20Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ma faʻa taʻofi ʻema leaʻaki pe ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo ma mamata mo fanongo ai.”
20For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21Pea kuo nau toe fakamanaʻi, pea nau tukuange ʻakinaua, he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke tautea ai ʻakinaua, pea telia ʻae kakai: he naʻa nau fakamālō kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa kuo fai.
21After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
22He kuo fāngofulu tupu ʻae taʻu ʻoe tangata, kuo fai ki ai ʻae mana fakamoʻui ni.
22For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
23¶ Pea ʻi he tukuange ʻakinaua, naʻa na ō ki hona kāinga, ʻo fakahā kotoa pē ʻae lea ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa kiate kinaua.
23On their release, Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, pea nau hiki fakataha hake honau leʻo ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ko e ʻOtua ʻa koe, naʻa ke ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani, pea mo e tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai;
24When the believers heard this, they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.
25ʻA koe naʻa ke pehē ʻi he ngutu ʻo hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku lili ai ʻae Senitaile, pea mahalo meʻa vaʻinga ai ʻe he kakai?
25You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
26Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea naʻe kātoa ʻae kau pule, ʻo angatuʻu ki he ʻEiki, pea mo hono Kalaisi.’
26The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His Anointed One.’
27He ko e moʻoni naʻe fakataha ʻa Helota, mo Ponito Pailato, mo e Senitaile, mo e kakai ʻIsileli, ʻo fakatanga ki ho ʻAlo māʻoniʻoni ko Sisu, ʻaia naʻa ke fakanofo,
27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.
28Ke fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe tomuʻa tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ho nima mo hoʻo poto ke fai.
28They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.
29Pea ko eni, ʻe ʻEiki, ke ke tokanga ki heʻenau lea fakamana: pea ke tuku ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ke nau lea mālohi ʻaki hoʻo folofola,
29And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,
30ʻI hoʻo mafao atu ho nima ke fakamoʻui; pea ke fai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo ʻi he huafa ʻo ho ʻAlo māʻoniʻoni ko Sisu.”
30as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”
31¶ Pea hili ʻenau lotu, naʻe ngalulululu ʻae potu naʻa nau fakataha ai; pea naʻe fakapito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻonau lea mālohi ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
31After they had prayed, their meeting place was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
32Pea naʻe loto mo laumālie taha pē ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tui: pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe ui ʻene meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ko e meʻa ʻaʻana; ka naʻa nau meʻa taha pē.
32The multitude of believers was one in heart and soul. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned.
33Pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe he kau ʻAposetolo ʻaki ʻae mālohi lahi ʻae toetuʻu ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu: pea naʻe lahi ʻae ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē.
33With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.
34Pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kinautolu ʻe masiva: he ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ʻae fonua pe ʻae fale, naʻe fakatau ia, pea naʻe ʻomi hono totongi ʻoe meʻa kuo fakatau,
34There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales,
35ʻO tuku hifo ʻi he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo: pea naʻe tufaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau masiva.
35and lay them at the apostles’ feet for distribution to anyone as he had need.
36Pea ko Sose ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Livai, mei he fonua ko Saipalo, ʻaia naʻe fakahingoa ʻe he kau ʻAposetolo ko Pānepasa, (ʻaia, ko hono ʻuhinga, “Ko e foha ʻoe fiemālie,”)
36Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (meaning Son of Encouragement),
37Naʻe fakatau ʻe ia hono potu fonua, pea ʻomi hono paʻanga, ʻo tuku ki he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻAposetolo.
37sold a field he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
