Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
ʻE Tiofilusi, ko e fuofua tohi naʻaku fai, ko e fakahā ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻe kamata fai mo ako ʻaki ʻe Sisu,
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
ʻO aʻu ki he ʻaho naʻe ʻave ai ia ki ʻolunga, ʻi he hili ʻene tuku ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ki he kau ʻaposetolo naʻa ne fili:
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
ʻAkinautolu naʻa ne fakahā ia ki ai kuo moʻui, ʻi he hili ʻene mate, ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻilongofua pea lahi, he naʻa nau mamata kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, pea lea ia ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua:
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Pea ʻi heʻenau fakataha mo ia, naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu “Ke ʻoua te nau ʻalu ʻi Selūsalema, kae tatali ki he talaʻofa ʻae Tamai, ʻa ia, [naʻe pehē ai ʻe ia], kuo mou fanongo ai ʻiate au.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
He naʻe papitaiso moʻoni ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae ʻaho siʻi pē pea ʻe papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Pea ʻi heʻenau fakataha, naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, te ke toe ʻange ʻi he kuonga ni ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻikai maʻamoutolu ke ʻilo ki he ngaahi kuonga mo e ngaahi ʻaho, ʻaia ʻoku faʻiteliha tokotaha pe ki ai ʻae Tamai.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Ka te mou maʻu ʻae mālohi, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu: pea ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻi Selūsalema, mo Siutea kotoa pē, mo Samēlia, pea ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Pea hili ʻene ngaahi folofola ni, lolotonga ʻenau siofia ia, naʻe ʻave ia ki ʻolunga; pea fakapuli ia ʻe he ʻao meiate kinautolu.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Pea ʻi heʻenau kei sio fakamamaʻu ki he langi, ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake, ʻiloange, kuo tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ongo tangata kuo kofu hinehina;
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
ʻo na pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata Kāleli, ko e hā ʻoku mou tutuʻu mo sio fakamamaʻu ai ki he langi? Ko e Sisu ko ia, kuo ʻave ʻiate kimoutolu ki langi, ʻe pehē pē ʻene toe haʻu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou mamata ʻene ʻalu hake ki loto langi.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Pea naʻa nau toki liu mai ki Selūsalema mei he moʻunga ʻoku ui ko ʻOlive, ko hono vahaʻa mo Selūsalema ko e mamaʻo ʻoe fononga ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Pea kuo nau hoko mai, pea nau ʻalu hake ki he potu ki ʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe nonofo ai ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, mo Sione, mo ʻAnitelū, mo Filipe, mo Tōmasi, mo Pātolomiu, mo Mātiu, mo Semisi [ko e foha ]ʻo ʻAlefiusi, mo Saimone Selote, mo Siutasi ko e tokoua ʻo Semisi.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Pea naʻe nonofo loto taha ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē, ʻi he lotu mo e hūfekina, fakataha mo e kau fefine, mo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sisu, mo hono kāinga.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Pita ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau ākonga (koe lau fakataha ʻoe kakai ko e toko teau mo e toko uofulu, ) ʻo ne pehē,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
“ʻAe kau tangata mo e kāinga, naʻe totonu ke fakamoʻoni ʻae tohi ni, ʻaia naʻe leaʻaki ʻi muʻa ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ngutu ʻo Tevita, kia Siutasi, ʻaia naʻa ne tataki ʻakinautolu naʻe puke ʻa Sisu.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
He naʻe lau ia mo kitautolu, pea naʻe ai hono tufakanga ʻi he ngāue ni.”
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻe he tangata ni ʻae potu fonua ʻaki ʻae totongi ʻo ʻene angahala; pea naʻe tō ʻo tuʻu hono mata, pea mafahi hono kete, pea ʻoho kituʻa hono toʻotoʻonga kotoa pē.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ia ʻe he kau nofo kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema: ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae potu fonua ko ia ʻi heʻenau lea, Ko ʻAkeletama, ko e pehē, “Ko e potu fonua ʻoe toto.”
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
He ʻoku tohi ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, “Ke lala hono fale, pea ʻoua ʻe nofo ai ha taha:’ pea, ‘Ko ʻene ngāue ke maʻu ʻe ha taha.’
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Ko ia ʻi he kau tangata ni kuo tau nonofo mo kinautolu, ʻi he kuonga kotoa naʻe felemofafo ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu ʻiate kitautolu,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
ʻO fua fai mei he papitaiso ʻa Sione, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe ʻave ai ia ki ʻolunga meiate kitautolu, ʻoku totonu ke ai ha taha ko e fakamoʻoni mo kimautolu ʻo ʻene toetuʻu.”
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Pea naʻa nau fili ʻae toko ua, ko Siosefa naʻe ui ko Pasapa, pea fakahingoa foki ko Susitasa, mo Mataiasi.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Pea naʻa nau lotu, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻEiki, ko koe ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻae loto kotoa pē, ke fakahā pe ko hai ʻiate kinaua ni kuo ke fili,
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
Koeʻuhi ke ai ʻene tufakanga ʻi he ngāue ni pea ke ʻaposetolo, ʻaia kuo hinga mei ai ʻa Siutasi ʻi he angahala, kae ʻalu ia ki hono potu ʻoʻona.”
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Pea naʻa nau talotalo; pea totonu kia Mataiasi; pea naʻe lau fakataha ia mo e toko hongofulu ma tokotaha ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo.
