1Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻoe uike, ʻi he kei hengihengi, naʻa nau omi mo e niʻihi kehe ki he fonualoto, ʻo ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau namu kakala kuo nau teuteu.
1But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they and some others came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2Pea naʻa nau vakai kuo tekaʻi ʻae maka mei he fonualoto.
2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
3Pea naʻa nau hū atu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae sino ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
3They entered in, and didn’t find the Lord Jesus’ body.
4Pea lolotonga ʻenau puputuʻu lahi ai, vakai, naʻe tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ongo tangata naʻe huhulu hona kofu:
4While they were greatly perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling clothing.
5Pea ʻi heʻenau manavahē, ʻo tulolo honau mata ki he kelekele, naʻe pehē ʻekinaua kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou kumi ai ʻae moʻui ʻi he potu ʻoe mate?
5Becoming terrified, they bowed their faces down to the earth. The men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?
6ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ia, ka kuo tuʻu hake: mou fakamanatu ki heʻene lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene kei ʻi Kāleli,
6He isn’t here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee,
7ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata angahala, pea ʻe tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, pea ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.’”
7saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again?”
8Pea naʻa nau manatu ki heʻene ngaahi lea,
8They remembered his words,
9ʻO nau liu mai mei he fonualoto, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki he toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, mo e kakai kehe kotoa pē.
9returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
10Pea ko Mele Makitaline, mo Soana, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Semisi, pea mo e niʻihi naʻe ʻiate kinautolu, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he kau ʻaposetolo.
10Now they were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. The other women with them told these things to the apostles.
11Pea naʻe tatau ʻenau ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu mo e talanoa launoa, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate kinautolu.
11These words seemed to them to be nonsense, and they didn’t believe them.
12Pea toki tuʻu ʻa Pita, ʻo lele ki he fonualoto; pea tulolo ia, ʻo mamata ki he u kofu kuo tuku kehe, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo fakatumutumu ʻi hono loto ʻi he meʻa kuo hoko.
12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he departed to his home, wondering what had happened.
13¶ Pea vakai, naʻe ʻo ʻa honau toko ua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ki he potu kakai naʻe ui ko ʻEmeasi, naʻe mamaʻo mo Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe fitu.
13Behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14Pea naʻa na talanoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kuo toki hoko,
14They talked with each other about all of these things which had happened.
15Pea lolotonga ʻae fai ʻena talanoa mo ʻena fakakaukau, mo ʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fononga mo kinaua.
15While they talked and questioned together, Jesus himself came near, and went with them.
16Ka naʻe taʻofi ʻa hona mata, ke ʻoua naʻa na ʻilo ia.
16But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
17Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e talanoa hā ia ʻoku mo fetalanoaʻaki ʻi hoʻomo fononga, pea mo mamahi ai?”
17He said to them, “What are you talking about as you walk, and are sad?”
18Pea ko e tokotaha, ko Kaliopasi hono hingoa, naʻe lea ʻo pehē kiate ia, naʻa ko Koe pe ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo hoko ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni?
18One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things which have happened there in these days?”
19Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa?” Pea na pehē kiate ia, “Kia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e palōfita naʻe mālohi ʻi he ngāue mo e lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai kotoa pē:
19He said to them, “What things?” They said to him, “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people;
20Pea mo e tukuange ia ʻe homau kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau fakamaau ke tāmateʻi, pea kuo tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.
20and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21Ka naʻa mau falala ko ia ia te ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli: kaeʻumaʻā eni kotoa pē, ko hono ʻaho tolu eni talu hono fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
21But we were hoping that it was he who would redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
22ʻIo, pea fakaofo kiate kimautolu ʻe homau kau fefine niʻihi, naʻa nau ʻalu hengihengi ki he fonualoto;
22Also, certain women of our company amazed us, having arrived early at the tomb;
23Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono sino, naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo pehē, kuo nau mamata foki ki he kau ʻāngelo, pea nau pehē, kuo moʻui ia.
23and when they didn’t find his body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.
24Pea ko homau niʻihi naʻe ʻalu ki he fonualoto, ʻonau ʻilo ʻo hangē pe ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata kiate ia.”
24Some of us went to the tomb and found it just like the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”
25Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻAe kau vale, mo loto tuai ke tui ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita:
25He said to them, “Foolish people, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26He ʻikai naʻe totonu kia Kalaisi ke kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū ai ki hono nāunau?”
26Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?”
27Pea kamata ia meia Mōsese, ʻo hoko ki he kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻa ʻene fakamatala kiate kinaua mei he tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kau kiate ia.
27Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
28Pea kuo nau ofi ki he potu kakai naʻa nau ō ki ai; pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē naʻe fie ʻalu atu pe.
28They came near to the village where they were going, and he acted like he would go further.
29Ka naʻa na taʻofi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau nonofo; he kuo ofi ʻae poʻuli, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho.” Pea naʻe hū ia ki loto, ke nau nonofo.
29They urged him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is almost evening, and the day is almost over.” He went in to stay with them.
30Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau nofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae mā, ʻo ne tāpuaki, pea ne tofi ʻo ʻatu kiate kinaua.
30When he had sat down at the table with them, he took the bread and gave thanks. Breaking it, he gave it to them.
31Pea ʻā ai hona mata, ʻo na ʻilo ia pea ʻiloange, kuo mole ia ʻi hona ʻao.
31Their eyes were opened and they recognized him; then he vanished out of their sight.
32Pea naʻa na fepehēʻaki, “ʻIkai naʻe vela hota loto ʻiate kitaua, ʻi heʻene talanoa mai ʻi he hala kiate kitaua, mo ʻene fakahā ʻae tohi kiate kitaua?”
32They said to one another, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us along the way, and while he opened the Scriptures to us?”
33Pea na tuʻu hake ʻi he feituʻu ʻaho ko ia, ʻo liu mai ki Selūsalema, ʻo na ʻilo ʻae toko hongofulu ma tokotaha kuo kātoa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate kinautolu,
33They rose up that very hour, returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34ʻonau pehē, “Kuo toetuʻu moʻoni ʻae ʻEiki, pea kuo fakahā ia kia Saimone.”
34saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”
35Pea tala ʻekinaua ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai ʻi he hala, pea mo ʻena ʻilo ia ʻi he tofi ʻoe mā.
35They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36¶ Pea lolotonga ʻenau lea pehē, mo e tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi honau haʻohaʻonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.”
36As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
37Pea naʻa nau tāfuʻua mo ilifia, ʻo mahalo kuo nau mamata ki ha laumālie.
37But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ilifia ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku tupu ai ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻi homou loto?
38He said to them, “Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39Vakai ki hoku nima mo hoku vaʻe, ko au pe ia: ala mai kiate au, pea mou vakai; he ʻoku ʻikai kakano mo hui ha laumālie, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou ʻilo ni ʻiate au.”
39See my hands and my feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻa ne toki fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono nima mo hono vaʻe.
40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai te nau tui, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia, ka nau ofo pe, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ha meʻakai?”
41While they still didn’t believe for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42Pea nau ange kiate ia ʻae konga ika kuo tunu, mo e ngeʻesi hone.
42They gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43Pea ne toʻo ia , ʻo kai ʻi honau ʻao.
43He took them, and ate in front of them.
44Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea naʻaku lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kei ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo tohi kiate au, ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, mo e kau palōfita, mo e ngaahi Saame.”
44He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms concerning me must be fulfilled.”
45Pea toki toʻo ʻe ia ʻa honau loto, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tohi,
45Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.
46ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo pehē ʻae tohi, pea ʻoku taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi pehē, pea toetuʻu mei he mate ʻi hono ʻaho tolu:
46He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
47Pea ke malangaʻaki ʻae fakatomala, mo e fakamolemole ʻoe angahala ʻi hono hingoa, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo fuofua fai ʻi Selūsalema.
47and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48Pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
48You are witnesses of these things.
49Pea vakai, te u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻae talaʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai: ka mou tatali ʻi he kolo ko Selūsalema, kaeʻoua ke mou maʻu ʻae mālohi mei ʻolunga.”
49Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high.”
50¶ Pea ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Pētani, pea naʻa ne hiki hake hono nima, ʻo tāpuaki ʻakinautolu.
50He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51Pea ʻiloange ʻi he lolotonga ʻene tāpuaki ʻakinautolu, naʻe mavahe ia meiate kinautolu, pea fua hake ia ki he langi.
51While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
52Pea naʻa nau hū kiate ia, pea liu mai ki Selūsalema ʻi he fiefia lahi:
52They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53Mo nau nofomaʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua. ʻEmeni.
53and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
