Acts 5
1 NOW a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, had sold an estate,
Ka ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa, mo hono uaifi ko Sāfaila, naʻa na fakatau ʻae ʻapi,
2 and secreted a part of the price paid, his wife also being privy to the transaction, and he brought a part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Pea 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.
3 But Peter said, O Ananias! why hath Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and secrete something from the price of the estate?
Ka 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?
4 it remained unsold, was it not vested in thee? and when sold, was it not in thine own power? why then hast thou determined in thine heart to do this deed? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Naʻe 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.”
5 Then Ananias, hearing those words, sunk down and expired: and great dread fell upon all who heard these things.
Pea 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.
6 Then the young men arose, and swathed him up, and carrying him out, buried him.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakakoloa ia, pea ʻave kituaʻā, ʻo tanu.
7 Now it came to pass at the distance of about three hours, his wife also, not knowing what had passed, came in.
Pea hili nai ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe tolu, pea haʻu hono uaifi, kae teʻeki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia kuo fai.
8 And Peter addressed her, Tell me, if ye sold the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Tala mai, pe naʻa mo fakatau ʻae ʻapi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIo, ʻaia pe.”
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Pea 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.”
10 Then she fell instantly at his feet, and expired: and the young men entering, found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband.
Pea 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.
11 And great awe fell on all the Church, and on all who heard these things.
Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē lahi ki he siasi kotoa pē, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
12 But by the hands of the apostles were many signs and miracles done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon.
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.
13 But of the rest no man had the courage to unite himself with them: though the people extolled them.
Pea ʻi hono toe naʻe ʻikai kau mo kinautolu ha tokotaha, ko ʻenau manavahē: ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu.
14 But believers on the Lord were abundantly added to them, multitudes, both of men and women.)
Pea naʻe ului tokolahi ai ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tui, ko e tangata mo e fefine.)
15 Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of them.
Ko 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.
16 Then came together also a multitude from the neighbouring cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were disturbed by unclean spirits; who were healed universally.
Pea 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.
17 Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with zeal,
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,
18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae kau ʻAposetolo, ʻo fakahū ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula lahi.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and conducting them forth, said,
Ka naʻe toʻo ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he pō, pea ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu, mo ne pehē,
20 Go, and taking your station in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.
“Mou ʻalu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea malanga ki he kakai ʻaki ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe moʻui ni.”
21 Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.
Pea 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.
22 But the officers, on their arrival, found them not in the prison: and returning, informed them,
Ka ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau tangata fekau, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he fale fakapōpula, naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo fakahā,
23 saying; The prison indeed found we fast locked with all security, and the guards standing without, before the door: but when we opened it, we found no person within.
ʻO 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.”
24 Now when they heard these words, both the priest and captain of the temple and the chief priests were in the utmost perplexity concerning these things, what could be the meaning of it.
Pea 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.
25 Then came a person and informed them, saying, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Pea 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.”
26 Then went the captain, with the officers, and brought them; not forcibly, for they were afraid of the people, lest they should stone them.
Pea 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.
27 But when they had conducted them, they placed them in the sanhedrim: and the high-priest interrogated them,
Pea kuo nau omi, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamaau: pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu,
28 saying, Did we not lay our strict injunction upon you, that you should not teach in this name? and, lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would fain bring this man’s blood upon us.
ʻO 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.”
29 Then Peter and the apostles answering said, We must obey God rather than men.
Pea toki lea ʻa Pita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku totonu ʻemau talangofua ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tangata.
30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye had killed, suspending him on a tree.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻaia ne mou tāmateʻi ʻo tautau ʻi he ʻakau.
31 Him hath God exalted at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
Pea 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.
32 And we are witnesses of these things; and the Holy Ghost also, which God hath given to those who obey him.
Pea 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.”
33 But when they heard this, they were cut asunder as with a saw, and took counsel how to make away with them.
Pea kuo nau fanongo eni, pea nau tekelili ʻi he ʻita, mo nau fakakaukau ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
34 Then arose a certain Pharisee, in the sanhedrim, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, held in high esteem by all the people, and ordered the apostles to be taken out for a little space;
Pea 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;
35 and he said unto them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves respecting these men, what ye mean to do to them.
Pea 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.
36 For before these days arose Theudas, saying that he himself was a singular personage: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, attached themselves: who was taken off; and as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
He 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.
37 And after him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away a multitude of the populace after him: he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Pea 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.
38 And as to the matters now before you, I say unto you, Abstain from these men, and leave them to themselves: for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
Pea 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:
39 but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; and in that case would be found fighters against God.
Pea kapau ʻoku mei he ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fakangata ia: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mou tauʻi ʻae ʻOtua.”
40 And to him they assented: and calling in the apostles, after scourging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
Pea 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.
41 Then they went rejoicing from the presence of the sanhedrim, that for his name’s sake, they had been counted worthy to suffer this injurious treatment.
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.
42 And all the day long in the temple, and from house to house, they never ceased teaching and preaching Jesus Christ.
Pea 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.
