Kau ʻAposetolo 1
1 ʻE Tiofilusi, ko e fuofua tohi naʻaku fai, ko e fakahā ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻe kamata fai mo ako ʻaki ʻe Sisu,
Ko te pukapuka tuatahi ra he mea tuhituhi naku, e Tiopira, mo nga mea katoa i timata ai a Ihu te mahi, te ako.
2 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:
Taea noatia te ra i tangohia atu ai ia, i muri i tana whakaakoranga, ara i ta te Wairua Tapu, ki nga apotoro i whiriwhiria e ia.
3 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:
He maha hoki nga tohu i whakakite ora ai ia i a ia ki a ratou, i muri i tona whakamamaetanga, e wha tekau hoki nga ra i kitea ai e ratou, i korerotia ai e ia nga mea o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
4 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.
A, i a ratou ka huihui tahi me ia, ka whai kupu ia kia kaua ratou e haere atu i Hiruharama, a ka mea, Engari kia taria te mea i korerotia i mua e te Matua, i rongo ra koutou ki ahau.
5 He naʻe papitaiso moʻoni ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae ʻaho siʻi pē pea ʻe papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
I iriiri hoki a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia, e kore e maha ake nga ra, ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu.
6 Pea ʻi heʻenau fakataha, naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, te ke toe ʻange ʻi he kuonga ni ʻae puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli?
No reira, i a ratou ka tamene, ka ui ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko te wa ianei tenei e whakahoki ai koe i te rangatiratanga ki a Iharaira?
7 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.
Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ehara ma koutou te mohio ki nga taima, ki nga wa ranei, kua whakaritea e te Matua mana ake te tikanga.
8 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.”
Otiia ka riro he kaha i a koutou, ina haere mai te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koutou: a hei kaiwhakaatu koutou moku ki Hiruharama, ki Huria katoa, ki Hamaria hoki, a tae noa ki te pito whakamutunga o te ao.
9 Pea hili ʻene ngaahi folofola ni, lolotonga ʻenau siofia ia, naʻe ʻave ia ki ʻolunga; pea fakapuli ia ʻe he ʻao meiate kinautolu.
A, no ka mutu tana korero i enei mea, i a ratou ano e titiro atu ana, ka tangohia atu ia, a na te kapua i kopaki atu i o ratou kanohi.
10 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;
A, i a ratou e titiro matatau atu ana ki te rangi, i a ia e haere ana, na ko nga tangata tokorua e tu ana i to ratou taha, he ma nga kakahu;
11 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.”
E mea ana, E nga tangata o Kariri, he aha ta koutou e tu, e matakitaki atu na ki te rangi? ko tena Ihu kua tangohia atu na i a koutou ki te rangi, ka pera ano tona haerenga mai me ia i tirohia atu na e koutou e haere ana ki te rangi.
12 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.
Na hoki ana ratou ki Hiruharama i te maunga e huaina nei ko Oriwa, he wahi e tata ana ki Hiruharama, he haerenga hapati.
13 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.
A ka tomo ratou, ka kake ki te ruma i runga, ki te wahi i noho ai ratou; ara a Pita, a Hemi, a Hoani, a Anaru, a Piripi, a Tamati, a Patoromu, a Matiu, a Hemi tama a Arapiu, a Haimona Heroti, a Hura te teina o Hemi.
14 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.
Ko enei katoa kotahi tonu te whakaaro i u ai ki te inoi, ki te karakia, me nga wahine; me te whaea o Ihu, me Meri; me ona teina.
15 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,
I aua ra ka whakatika a Pita i waenganui o nga akonga; a he tokomaha nga tangata i huihui, kei te kotahi rau e rua tekau; a ka mea,
16 “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.
E hoa ma, e oku teina, i tika ano kia whakaritea tenei karaipiture, ta te Wairua Tapu i korerotia ra i mua e te mangai o Rawiri mo Hura, mo te kaiarahi i te hunga nana i hopu a Ihu.
17 He naʻe lau ia mo kitautolu, pea naʻe ai hono tufakanga ʻi he ngāue ni.”
I huihuia tahitia hoki ia ki a tatou, i a ia ano tetahi wahi o tenei mahi.
18 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.
Na hokona ana e taua tangata tetahi mara ki te utu o tona hara; a taka tupou iho, koara pu i waenganui, pakaru katoa ki waho ona whekau.
19 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.”
I mohiotia tenei e te hunga katoa e noho ana i Hiruharama; na reira taua wahi i huaina ai ki to tatou reo ko Akerama, ara ko te Mara o te Toto.
20 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.’
Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga Waiata, Kia ururatia tona nohoanga, kaua hoki tetahi tangata e noho ki reira: me tenei, Kia riro tana mahi tirotiro i tetahi atu.
21 “Ko ia ʻi he kau tangata ni kuo tau nonofo mo kinautolu, ʻi he kuonga kotoa naʻe felemofafo ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu ʻiate kitautolu,
No reira, ko nga tangata i haere tahi nei tatou, i nga wa katoa i haereere mai ai, i haereere atu ai te Ariki, a Ihu i roto i a tatou,
22 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.”
Hei te iriiringa a Hoani timata ai, a tae noa ki te ra i tangohia atu ai ia i a tatou, me whakatu tetahi o era hei hoa mo tatou ki te whakaatu i tona aranga mai.
23 Pea naʻa nau fili ʻae toko ua, ko Siosefa naʻe ui ko Pasapa, pea fakahingoa foki ko Susitasa, mo Mataiasi.
A tokorua a ratou i whakarite ai, ko Hohepa i huaina nei ko Pahapa, ko tetahi o ona ingoa ko Hutuha, raua ko Matiaha.
24 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,
Na ka inoi ratou, ka mea, Ko koe, e te Ariki, e mohio ana ki nga ngakau o te katoa, mau e whakaatu ko wai o tenei tokorua tau i whiriwhiri ai,
25 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.”
Hei tango i te wahi i tenei mahi minita, i te turanga apotoro hoki, i taka atu a Hura, he mea kia haere ai ia ki tona wahi.
26 Pea naʻa nau talotalo; pea totonu kia Mataiasi; pea naʻe lau fakataha ia mo e toko hongofulu ma tokotaha ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo.
Na ka maka e ratou o raua rota; a ka tau te rota ki a Matiaha; a uru ana ia ki nga apotoro tekau ma tahi.
