< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Ka ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa, mo hono uaifi ko Sāfaila, naʻa na fakatau ʻae ʻapi,
2 And kept back [part] of the price, (his wife also being privy [to it] ) and brought a certain 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, Ananias, Why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
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 While it remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied to men, but to 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 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all them that 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 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakakoloa ia, pea ʻave kituaʻā, ʻo tanu.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Pea hili nai ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe tolu, pea haʻu hono uaifi, kae teʻeki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia kuo fai.
8 And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land 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 to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold 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 down immediately at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in, and found her dead, and carrying [her] forth, buried [her] by 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 fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as 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 And 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.
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 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
Pea ʻi hono toe naʻe ʻikai kau mo kinautolu ha tokotaha, ko ʻenau manavahē: ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
Pea naʻe ului tokolahi ai ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tui, ko e tangata mo e fefine.)
15 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid [them] on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow 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 There came also a multitude [out] of the cities around to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
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 the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him; (which is the sect of the Sadducees) and were filled with indignation,
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 prison-doors, and brought them forth, and 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, stand and speak in the temple 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 And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
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 when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
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 truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man 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 the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them to what this would grow.
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 one and told them, saying, Behold, 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 without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
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 And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the high priest asked 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 strictly command you, that ye should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to 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 [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to 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 raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged 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 with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness 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 his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that 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 When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
Pea kuo nau fanongo eni, pea nau tekelili ʻi he ʻita, mo nau fakakaukau ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
34 Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time.
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 said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men:
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 rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to naught.
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 After this man rose Judas of Galilee, in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] 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 now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to naught:
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 is from God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight 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 when they had called the apostles, and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
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 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
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 daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach 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.
