< Kau ʻAposetolo 3 >
1 Pea naʻe ʻohake fakataha ʻa Pita mo Sione ki he falelotu lahi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā lotu, ʻaia ko hono hiva.
2 Pea ko e tangata ʻe taha naʻe pipiki talu hono fanauʻi, naʻe fata ange ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻo tuku ʻi he matapā ʻoe falelotu lahi ʻaia naʻe ui ko e Fakasanisani, ke kole kiate kinautolu naʻe hū ki he falelotu lahi;
3 Pea mamata ia kia Pita mo Sione ʻoku fai ke na hū ki he falelotu lahi, pea ne kole.
4 Pea sio fakamamaʻu ʻa Pita mo Sione kiate ia, ʻo na pehē, “Sio mai kiate kimaua.”
5 Pea tokanga atu ia kiate kinaua, ʻo ʻamanaki te ne maʻu ha meʻa ʻiate kinaua.
6 Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita, “Ko e siliva mo e koula ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu; ka ko ia ʻoku ou maʻu te u foaki kiate koe: ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi ʻo Nāsaleti tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu.”
7 Pea naʻa ne puke ia ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu, ʻo fokotuʻu hake ia: pea naʻe mālohi leva hono vaʻe mo hono tungaʻivaʻe.
8 Pea hopo hake ia ʻo tuʻu, mo ʻeveʻeva, pea nau hū fakataha mo ia ki he falelotu lahi, kuo ʻeveʻeva, mo hopohopo, pea fakamālō ki he ʻOtua.
9 Pea naʻe mamata ʻae kakai kotoa pē kiate ia, ʻoku ʻeveʻeva mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua;
10 Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ko ia ia naʻe nofo ʻo kole ʻi he matapā Fakasanisani ʻoe falelotu lahi: pea naʻe mātuʻaki ofo ʻakinautolu mo fakatumutumu ʻi he meʻa kuo fai kiate ia.
11 Pea ʻi heʻene kei puke kia Pita mo Sione ʻe he tangata pipiki kuo fakamoʻui, naʻe feleleʻi ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻoku nau ofo lahi, ki he fale hala, ʻoku fakahingoa kia Solomone.
12 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Pita ki ai, pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai, “ʻAe kau tangata ʻIsileli, ko e hā ʻoku mou ofo ai ʻi he meʻa ni? Pea ko e hā ʻoku mou sio fakamamaʻu ai kiate kimaua, ʻo hangē kuo ma ngaohi ʻi haʻama mālohi pe māʻoniʻoni ʻamaua ke ʻeveʻeva ʻae tangata ni?
13 Ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, mo Sēkope, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai, kuo ne fakaongoongolelei hono ʻAlo ko Sisu; ʻaia naʻa mou tukuakiʻi pea liʻaki ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pailato, ka naʻe mātuʻaki loto ia ki hono tukuange.
14 Ka naʻa mou liʻaki ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni mo angatonu, pea kole ke tuku ʻae tangata fakapō kiate kimoutolu;
15 Kae tāmateʻi ʻae ʻEiki ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate; pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu ki ai.
16 Pea ko hono huafa, ko e tui ki hono huafa, kuo ne fakamālohi ʻae tangata ni, ʻaia ʻoku mou mamata pea ʻiloʻi: ʻio, ko e tui kiate ia, kuo maʻu ai ʻe he tangata ni ʻae moʻui haohaoa ni ʻi he ʻao ʻomoutolu kotoa pē.
17 “Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ou ʻilo ne mou fai ia ʻi he vale, pea pehē foki mo hoʻomou kau pule.
18 Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe tomuʻa fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻe mamahi ai ʻa Kalaisi, kuo ne fakamoʻoni ia.
19 Ko ia ke mou fakatomala, pea liliu, ke fakamolemole ai hoʻomou angahala, koeʻuhi ke hoko mai ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe fakamoʻui mei he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki;
20 Pea te ne fekau mai ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu:
21 ʻAia ʻe maʻu ʻe he langi, kaeʻoua ke hoko mai ʻae kuonga ʻoe liliu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo lea ki ai ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau palōfita māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē talu mei he ngaohi ʻa māmani. (aiōn )
22 He naʻe lea moʻoni ʻa Mōsese ki he ngaahi tamai, [ʻo pehē], ‘ʻE fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻEiki ko homou ʻOtua ha palōfita kiate kimoutolu ʻi homou kāinga, ʻo hangē ko au; pea te mou fanongo kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē te ne leaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.
23 Pea ʻe pehē, ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he palōfita ko ia, ʻe fakaʻauha ia mei he kakai.’
24 ʻIo, pea ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē meia Samuela mo kinautolu ki mui ni, ʻakinautolu naʻe lea, naʻa nau kikite ki he ngaahi ʻaho ni.
25 Ko e fānau ʻae kau palōfita ʻakimoutolu, pea mo e fuakava naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻi heʻene pehē kia ʻEpalahame, ‘Pea ʻi ho hako ʻe monūʻia ʻae faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.’
26 Pea ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua hono ʻAlo ko Sisu, kuo ne tomuʻa fekau ia kiate kimoutolu, ke ne tāpuakiʻi ʻakimoutolu, ʻi he tafoki ʻakimoutolu taki taha mei heʻene hia.”
