Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
1Pea kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ʻoe Penitekosi, kuo nau kātoa ʻo loto taha ʻi he potu pe taha.
2Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
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.
3Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
3Pea naʻe hā mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi ʻelelo mangamanga ʻo hangē ko e afi, pea nofo ia ʻiate kinautolu taki taha.
4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
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.
5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
5Pea naʻe ʻāunofo ʻi Selūsalema ʻae kakai Siu faʻa lotu, mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi lalo langi.
6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
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.
7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
7Pea naʻe ofo mo fakatumutumu ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻonau fepehēʻaki, “Vakai, ʻikai ko e kau Kāleli kotoa pē ʻakinautolu na ʻoku lea?
8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
8Pea ʻoku fēfē nai ʻoku tau taki taha fanongo ki heʻetau lea, naʻa tau fanauʻi ai?
9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
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,
10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
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.
11Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
11Ko e kakai, Keliti mo e ʻAlepea, ʻoku tau fanongo ʻoku nau lea ʻi heʻetau lea ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.”
12They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
12Pea naʻa nau ofo kotoa pē, ʻo taʻemaau honau loto, mo nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa ni?”
13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
13Kae manuki ʻae niʻihi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fonu ʻi he uaine foʻou ʻae kau tangata ni.”
14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
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:
15For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
15He ʻoku ʻikai konā ʻakinautolu ni, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou mahalo, he ko hono tolu pe eni ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻaho.
16But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
16Ka ko eni ia naʻe lea ki ai ʻae palōfita ko Sioeli;
17‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
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:
18Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
18Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, teu huaʻi hifo hoku Laumālie ki heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki mo ʻeku kau kaunanga; pea te nau kikite;
19I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
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;
20The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
20Pea ʻe liliu ʻae laʻā ʻo poʻuli, pea mo e māhina ʻo toto, ʻi he teʻeki hoko ʻae ʻaho lahi pea fakamanavahē, ʻoe ʻEiki:
21It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
21Pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.’
22“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him among you, even as you yourselves know,
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:
23him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
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:
24whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
24ʻAia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi he veteange ʻoe mamahi ʻoe mate: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa taʻofi ʻaki ia.
25For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
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:
26Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
26Ko ia naʻe fiefia ai hoku loto, pea fiefia mo hoku ʻelelo; pea ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei:
27because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay.
27Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
28You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
28Kuo ke fakahā kiate au ʻae ngaahi hala ʻoe moʻui; te ke fakafonu ʻaki au ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao.’
29“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
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.
30Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
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;
31he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay.
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.’
32This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
32Pea ko e Sisu ni kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ki ai ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
33Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
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.
34For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
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,
35until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
35Kae ʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.’
36“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
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.”
37Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
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?”
38Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
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.
39For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
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.”
40With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
40Pea naʻe lahi ʻae lea kehekehe naʻa ne fakamoʻoni mo akonakiʻaki, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei he toʻutangata paongataʻa ni.”
41Then those who gladly received his word were baptized. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
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.
42They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
42Pea naʻa nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he akonaki ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, mo e feʻofoʻofani, mo e tofi ʻoe mā, mo e fehūfekina.
43Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
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.
44All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
44Pea naʻe loto taha ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe tui, pea naʻe meʻa taha pē ʻakinautolu;
45They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
45Pea naʻa nau fakatau honau ngaahi ʻapi mo ʻenau meʻa, pea tufa ki he kakai taki taha, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene masiva.
46Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
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,
47praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
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.
