King James Version with Apocrypha
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,
1And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2He kuo nau kina ʻi heʻena ako ki he kakai, mo ʻena malangaʻaki ʻae toetuʻu ʻa Sisu mei he mate.
2Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3Pea naʻa nau puke ʻakinaua, ʻo tuku ki he fale fakapōpula, kaeʻoua ke ʻaho: he kuo efiafi.
3And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4Ka naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu naʻe fanongo ki he folofola; pea ko hono lau ʻoe kakai ko e toko nima afe nai.
4Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5¶ Pea pehē, kuo pongipongi hake, naʻe kātoa ki Selūsalema honau kau pule, mo e mātuʻa, mo e kau tangata tohi,
5¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6Mo ʻAnasi ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo Kaiafasi, mo Sione, mo ʻAlekisānita, pea mo e kāinga kotoa pē ʻoe taulaʻeiki lahi.
6And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
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?”
7And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done 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 Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
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 this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
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.
10Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11‘Ko e maka eni naʻe liʻaki ʻekimoutolu ko e kau tufunga, ʻaia kuo hoko ko e fungani maka tuliki.’
11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
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.
12Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby 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.
13¶ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they 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 beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15Pea hili ʻenau fekau ʻakinaua ke ʻalu siʻi atu mei he fakamaauʻanga, naʻa nau alea ʻiate kinautolu,
15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
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.
16Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we can not 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 that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man 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.
18And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach 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 answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te ma faʻa taʻofi ʻema leaʻaki pe ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo ma mamata mo fanongo ai.”
20For we can not but speak the things which 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.
21So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22He kuo fāngofulu tupu ʻae taʻu ʻoe tangata, kuo fai ki ai ʻae mana fakamoʻui ni.
22For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
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.
23¶ And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto 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;
24And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
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?
25Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
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 stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
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,
27For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28Ke fai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe tomuʻa tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ho nima mo hoʻo poto ke fai.
28For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
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, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
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.”
30By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child 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.
31¶ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
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.
32And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
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.
33And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great 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,
34Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35ʻO tuku hifo ʻi he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo: pea naʻe tufaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau masiva.
35And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according 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,”)
36And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37Naʻe fakatau ʻe ia hono potu fonua, pea ʻomi hono paʻanga, ʻo tuku ki he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻAposetolo.
37Having land, sold it , and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
