1Ka ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa, mo hono uaifi ko Sāfaila, naʻa na fakatau ʻae ʻapi,
1But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
2Pea naʻe taʻofi ʻe ia ʻae konga ʻo hono totongi, pea ʻilo foki ia ʻe hono uaifi, kae ʻomi pe hono konga, ʻo tuku ʻi he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo.
2And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻAnanaia, ko e hā kuo fakapito ai ho loto ʻe Sētane, ke ke loi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ke taʻofi ʻae konga ʻi he totongi ʻoe fonua?
3But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
4Naʻe kei tuku pe, ʻikai naʻe ʻoʻou pe ia? Pea ka kuo fakatau ia, ʻikai te ke faʻiteliha pe ki ai? Ko e hā kuo tupu ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ho loto? ʻOku ʻikai ko hoʻo loi ki he tangata, ka ki he ʻOtua.”
4Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAnanaia ki he lea ni, naʻe tō ia ki lalo, ʻo mate: pea naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
5And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
6Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakakoloa ia, pea ʻave kituaʻā, ʻo tanu.
6And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
7Pea hili nai ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe tolu, pea haʻu hono uaifi, kae teʻeki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia kuo fai.
7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Tala mai, pe naʻa mo fakatau ʻae ʻapi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIo, ʻaia pe.”
8And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
9Pea pehē ai ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo mo alea ai ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki? Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae vaʻe ʻokinautolu kuo nau toki tanu ho husepāniti, pea te nau fata koe kituaʻā.”
9And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
10Pea ʻiloange, naʻe tō ki lalo ia ki hono vaʻe, pea mate: pea hū mai ʻae kau talavou, ʻo ʻilo kuo mate ia, pea ʻave ia kituaʻā, ʻo tanu ia mo hono husepāniti.
10Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē lahi ki he siasi kotoa pē, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
11And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
12¶ Pea naʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai; (pea naʻa nau fakataha kotoa pē ʻo loto taha ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.
12And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13Pea ʻi hono toe naʻe ʻikai kau mo kinautolu ha tokotaha, ko ʻenau manavahē: ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu.
13But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
14Pea naʻe ului tokolahi ai ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tui, ko e tangata mo e fefine.)
14And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
15Ko ia naʻa nau fata ai ʻae ngaahi mahaki ki he ngaahi hala, ʻo fakatokoto ʻi he mohenga mo e tokotoʻanga, ke fakamalū honau niʻihi ʻaki ʻae ʻata ʻo Pita ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange.
15Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
16Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi kolo ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, ke fetuku mai ʻae kakai mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe mamahi ʻi he kau laumālie ʻuli: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
16And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
17¶ Pea toki tutuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, (i he faʻahinga ʻoe Sātusi,) kuo nau fonu ʻi he ʻita,
17Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were filled with envy.
18Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae kau ʻAposetolo, ʻo fakahū ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula lahi.
18And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19Ka naʻe toʻo ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he pō, pea ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu, mo ne pehē,
19But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
20“Mou ʻalu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea malanga ki he kakai ʻaki ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe moʻui ni.”
20Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau uhu hengihengi ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ako. Ka naʻe haʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea fakataha ʻae kau fakamaau, mo e mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea nau fekau ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fale fakapōpula.
21Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
22Ka ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau tangata fekau, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he fale fakapōpula, naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo fakahā,
22But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
23ʻO pehē, “Ko e moʻoni naʻa mau ʻilo ʻae fale fakapōpula ʻoku tāpuni maʻu, pea tutuʻu ʻituʻa ʻae kau leʻo ʻi he ngaahi matapā: ka ʻi heʻemau toʻo ia, naʻe ʻikai te mau ʻilo ʻi loto ha tokotaha.”
23Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
24Pea kuo fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki mo e pule ʻoe falelotu lahi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, naʻa nau fifili pe fēfē ai nai eni.
24Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
25Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e kau tangata naʻa mou fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ako ki he kakai.”
25But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
26Pea ʻalu leva ʻae ʻeiki mo e kau tangata fekau, ʻo ʻomi fiemālie ʻakinautolu: he naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai, telia naʻa tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinautolu.
26Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27Pea kuo nau omi, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamaau: pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu,
27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28ʻO pehē, “ʻIkai naʻa mau mātuʻaki fekau kiate kimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou ako ʻi he hingoa na? Pea vakai, kuo mou fakapito ʻa Selūsalema ʻaki hoʻomou akonaki, pea ko homou loto ke ʻomi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata ni kiate kimautolu.”
28Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
29¶ Pea toki lea ʻa Pita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku totonu ʻemau talangofua ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tangata.
29But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
30Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻaia ne mou tāmateʻi ʻo tautau ʻi he ʻakau.
30The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
31Pea kuo hakeakiʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki hono nima toʻomataʻu ko e ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui, ke foaki ʻae fakatomala ki ʻIsileli, mo e fakamolemole ʻoe angahala.
31Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
32Pea ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni; pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni foki, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻoku talangofua kiate ia.”
32And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
33¶ Pea kuo nau fanongo eni, pea nau tekelili ʻi he ʻita, mo nau fakakaukau ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
33When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
34Pea toki tuʻu hake ha taha ʻi he kau fakamaau, ko e Fālesi, ko hono hingoa ko Kāmelieli, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, pea naʻe ongoongolelei ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, pea fekau ʻe ia ke tuku siʻi atu kituaʻā ʻae kau ʻaposetolo;
34But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
35Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, mou vakai pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou tokanga ke fai ki he kau tangata ni.
35And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
36He naʻe muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni ʻae tuʻu ʻa Teutasi, ʻo ne pole ko e lahi ia; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau tangata, ko e toko fāngeau nai: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia; pea fakamovete ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe talangofua kiate ia.
36For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
37Pea hoko mo e tangata ni ʻa Siutasi ʻo Kāleli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe tohi kakai, pea ne tataki ʻe ia ʻae kakai tokolahi: pea mate foki ia; pea naʻe fakamovete ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe talangofua kiate ia.
37After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
38Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa fai ha meʻa ki he kau tangata ni, kae tuku ai pe ʻakinautolu: he kapau ʻoku mei he tangata ʻae fakakaukau ni mo e ngāue ni, ʻe ʻosi ia:
38And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
39Pea kapau ʻoku mei he ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fakangata ia: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mou tauʻi ʻae ʻOtua.”
39But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
40Pea naʻa nau loto ki ai: pea kuo nau ui ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, mo kauʻimaea, naʻa nau fekau ke ʻoua te nau lea ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu.
40And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
41¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamaau ʻi he fiefia, koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻaonga ke kātaki ʻae fakamā koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.
41And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
42Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻenau ako mo ʻenau malangaʻaki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea mo e fale kotoa pē.
42And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
