Luke 24
1 Pea ʻi he ʻuluaki[ʻaho ]ʻoe uike, ʻi he kei hengihengi, naʻa nau omi mo e niʻihi kehe ki he fonualoto, ʻo ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau namu kakala kuo nau teuteu.
Before dawn on Sunday those women went to the tomb. They took with them the spices that they had prepared [to put on Jesus’ body].
2 Pea naʻa nau vakai kuo tekaʻi ʻae maka mei he fonualoto.
They discovered that the stone had been rolled away from [the entrance to] the tomb.
3 Pea naʻa nau hū atu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae sino ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
They went in the tomb, but the body of the Lord Jesus was not there!
4 Pea lolotonga ʻenau puputuʻu lahi ai, vakai, naʻe tuʻu mai kiate kinautolu ʻae ongo tangata naʻe huhulu [hona ]kofu:
They did not know what to think about that. Then suddenly two men wearing bright shining clothes stood by them!
5 Pea ʻi heʻenau manavahē, ʻo tulolo honau mata ki he kelekele, naʻe pehē ʻekinaua kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou kumi ai ʻae moʻui ʻi he potu ʻoe mate?
The [women] were frightened. As they prostrated themselves on the ground, the two men said to them, “(You should not be seeking someone who is alive in [a place where they bury] dead people!/Why are you seeking in [a place where they bury] dead people someone who is alive?) [RHQ]
6 ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ia, ka kuo tuʻu hake: mou fakamanatu ki heʻene lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻene kei ʻi Kāleli,
He is not here; he has (become alive again/risen from the dead)! Remember that while he was still with you in Galilee [district] he said to you,
7 ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE tukuange ʻae Foha ʻoe tangata ki he nima ʻoe kau tangata angahala, pea ʻe tutuki ia ki he ʻakau, pea ʻe toetuʻu ia ʻi hono ʻaho tolu.’”
‘[Even though I] am the one who came from heaven, [someone] will enable sinful men to seize [MTY] me. They will [kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], I will become alive [again].’”
8 Pea naʻa nau manatu ki heʻene ngaahi lea,
The [women] remembered that he had said that.
9 ʻO nau liu mai mei he fonualoto, ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē ki he toko hongofulu ma tokotaha, mo e kakai kehe kotoa pē.
So they left the tomb and went to the eleven [apostles] and his other [disciples] and told them those things.
10 Pea ko Mele Makitaline, mo Soana, mo Mele [ko e faʻē ]ʻa Semisi, pea mo e niʻihi naʻe ʻiate kinautolu, naʻa nau fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ki he kau ʻaposetolo.
The ones who kept telling those things to the apostles were Mary from Magdala [village], Joanna, Mary who was the mother of James, and the other women [who were] with them.
11 Pea naʻe tatau ʻenau ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu mo e talanoa launoa, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate kinautolu.
But the apostles thought that what the women [said] was nonsense. They did not believe what the women said.
12 Pea toki tuʻu ʻa Pita, ʻo lele ki he fonualoto; pea tulolo ia, ʻo mamata ki he u kofu kuo tuku kehe, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo fakatumutumu ʻi hono loto ʻi he meʻa kuo hoko.
But Peter got up and ran to the tomb [anyway]. He stooped down [and looked inside]. He saw the linen cloths [in which Jesus’ body had been wrapped]. [The cloths were] by themselves (OR, [He did not see] anything else). So, wondering what had happened, he went home.
13 Pea vakai, naʻe ʻo ʻa honau toko ua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ki he potu kakai naʻe ui ko ʻEmeasi, naʻe mamaʻo mo Selūsalema, ko e maile ʻe fitu.
That same day two of [Jesus’ disciples] were walking to a village named Emmaus. It was about (seven miles/eleven kilometers) from Jerusalem.
14 Pea naʻa na talanoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kuo toki hoko,
They were talking with each other about all the things that had happened [to Jesus].
15 Pea lolotonga ʻae fai ʻena talanoa mo ʻena fakakaukau, mo ʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fononga mo kinaua.
While they were discussing those things, Jesus himself approached them and started walking with them.
16 Ka naʻe taʻofi ʻa hona mata, ke ʻoua naʻa na ʻilo ia.
But they were prevented {[something] prevented them} from recognizing [MTY] him.
17 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e talanoa hā ia ʻoku mo fetalanoaʻaki ʻi hoʻomo fononga, pea mo mamahi ai?”
[Jesus] said to them, “What have you two been talking about while you were walking?” They stopped, and their faces looked very sad.
18 Pea ko e tokotaha, ko Kaliopasi hono hingoa, naʻe lea ʻo pehē kiate ia, naʻa ko Koe pe ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo hoko ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni?
One of them, whose name was Cleopas, said, “(You [(sg)] must be the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days!/Are you the only person who is visiting Jerusalem [for the Passover festival] who does not know the events that have happened there in recent days?) [RHQ]”
19 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e hā ʻae meʻa?” Pea na pehē kiate ia, “Kia Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti, ko e palōfita naʻe mālohi ʻi he ngāue mo e lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua mo e kakai kotoa pē:
He said to them, “What events?” They replied, “[The things that happened] to Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth, who was a prophet. Many people saw him [perform] great miracles, and God [enabled him] to teach wonderful [messages]!
20 Pea mo e tukuange ia ʻe homau kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau fakamaau ke tāmateʻi, pea kuo tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.
But our chief priests and leaders handed him over [to the Roman authorities. The authorities] sentenced him to die, and they killed him by nailing him to a cross.
21 Ka naʻa mau falala ko ia ia te ne huhuʻi ʻa ʻIsileli: kaeʻumaʻā eni kotoa pē, ko hono ʻaho tolu eni talu hono fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.
We [(exc)] were hoping that he was the one who would free [us] Israelites [from our enemies] But [this does not seem possible now, because] three days have [already] passed since that happened.
22 ʻIo, pea fakaofo kiate kimautolu ʻe homau kau fefine niʻihi, naʻa nau ʻalu hengihengi ki he fonualoto;
On the other hand, some women from our group amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo hono sino, naʻa nau haʻu, ʻo pehē, kuo nau mamata foki ki he kau ʻāngelo, pea nau pehē, kuo moʻui ia.
but Jesus’ body was not there! They came [back] and said that they had seen some angels in a vision. The angels said that he was alive!
24 Pea ko homau niʻihi naʻe ʻalu ki he fonualoto, ʻonau ʻilo ʻo hangē pe ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau fefine: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau mamata kiate ia.”
Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb. They saw that things were exactly as the women had reported. But they did not see [Jesus].”
25 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “ʻAe kau vale, mo loto tuai ke tui ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he kau palōfita:
He said to them, “[You two] foolish [men! You are so] slow to believe all that the prophets have written [about the Messiah]!
26 He ʻikai naʻe totonu kia Kalaisi ke kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū ai ki hono nāunau?”
([You should certainly have known that] it was necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]!/Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer all those things [and die], and then enter his glorious [home in heaven]?) [RHQ]”
27 Pea kamata ia meia Mōsese, ʻo hoko ki he kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻa ʻene fakamatala kiate kinaua mei he tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kau kiate ia.
Then he explained to them all the things that [the prophets] had written in the Scriptures about himself. He started with what Moses [MTY] [wrote] and then explained to them what all the [other] prophets [wrote].
28 Pea kuo nau ofi ki he potu kakai naʻa nau ō ki ai; pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻo hangē naʻe fie ʻalu atu pe.
They came near to the village to [which the two men] were going. Jesus indicated that he would go further,
29 Ka naʻa na taʻofi ia, ʻo pehē, “Ke tau nonofo; he kuo ofi ʻae poʻuli, pea kuo tei ʻosi ʻae ʻaho.” Pea naʻe hū ia ki loto, ke nau nonofo.
but they urged him [to not do that]. They said, “Stay with us [tonight], because it is late in the afternoon and it will soon be dark.” So he went in [the house] to stay with them.
30 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau nofo mo ia ʻi he kai, naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae mā, ʻo ne tāpuaki, pea ne tofi ʻo ʻatu kiate kinaua.
When they sat down to eat, he took some bread and [asked God to] bless it. He broke it and gave [some pieces] to them.
31 Pea ʻā ai hona mata, ʻo na ʻilo ia pea ʻiloange, kuo mole ia ʻi hona ʻao.
And just then [God] enabled them to recognize [MTY] him. But [immediately] he disappeared!
32 Pea naʻa na fepehēʻaki, “ʻIkai naʻe vela hota loto ʻiate kitaua, ʻi heʻene talanoa mai ʻi he hala kiate kitaua, mo ʻene fakahā ʻae tohi kiate kitaua?”
The two men said to each other, “[While we were walking] along the road and he talked with us and [enabled] us [(inc)] to understand the Scriptures, we [became so excited that it was as though] [MET] a fire was burning within us [RHQ]! [We should not stay here; we should go tell the others what happened]!”
33 Pea na tuʻu hake ʻi he feituʻu ʻaho ko ia, ʻo liu mai ki Selūsalema, ʻo na ʻilo ʻae toko hongofulu ma tokotaha kuo kātoa, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate kinautolu,
So they left immediately and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven [apostles] and others who had gathered together with them
34 ʻonau pehē, “Kuo toetuʻu moʻoni ʻae ʻEiki, pea kuo fakahā ia kia Saimone.”
who told [those two men], “It is true that the Lord has become alive again, and he has appeared to Peter!”
35 Pea tala ʻekinaua ʻae ngaahi meʻa [naʻe fai ]ʻi he hala, pea mo ʻena ʻilo ia ʻi he tofi ʻoe mā.
Then those two [men] told [the others] what had happened [as they were walking] along the road. They also [told them how] they both recognized Jesus as he broke some bread [for them].
36 Pea lolotonga ʻenau lea pehē, mo e tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi honau haʻohaʻonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.”
As they were saying that, Jesus himself [suddenly] appeared among them. He said to them, “[May God give] you [inner] peace!”
37 Pea naʻa nau tāfuʻua mo ilifia, ʻo mahalo kuo nau mamata ki ha laumālie.
They were startled and afraid, [because] they thought that they were seeing a ghost!
38 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ilifia ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku tupu ai ʻae ngaahi mahalo ʻi homou loto?
He said to them, “(You should not be alarmed!/Why are you alarmed?) [RHQ] And (you should not be doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus!/why are you doubting [that I am alive]/Jesus?) [RHQ]
39 Vakai ki hoku nima mo hoku vaʻe, ko au pe ia: ala mai kiate au, pea mou vakai; he ʻoku ʻikai kakano mo hui ha laumālie, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mou ʻilo ni ʻiate au.”
Look at [the wounds in] my hands and my feet! You can touch me and see [my body]. Then you can see that it is really I myself. [You can tell that I am really alive] because ghosts do not have bodies, as you see that I have!”
40 Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻa ne toki fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono nima mo hono vaʻe.
After he said that, he showed them [the wounds in] his hands and his feet.
41 Pea ʻi he teʻeki ai te nau tui, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia, ka nau ofo pe, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ʻi heni ha meʻakai?”
They were joyful and amazed, [but] they still did not believe [that he was really alive] (OR, [that Jesus was the one that they were seeing]). [So] he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 Pea nau ange kiate ia ʻae konga ika kuo tunu, mo e ngeʻesi hone.
[So] they gave him a piece of broiled fish.
43 Pea ne toʻo [ia], ʻo kai ʻi honau ʻao.
While they were watching, he took it and ate it.
44 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea naʻaku lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi heʻeku kei ʻiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo tohi kiate au, ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, mo e kau palōfita, mo e ngaahi Saame.”
Then he said to them, “[I will repeat] what I told you while I was still with you: Everything that was written about me by Moses and the [other] prophets [MTY] and in the Psalms must be fulfilled!”
45 Pea toki toʻo ʻe ia ʻa honau loto, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tohi,
Then he enabled them to understand [the things that had been written about him in] the Scriptures.
46 ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Kuo pehē ʻae tohi, pea ʻoku taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi pehē, pea toetuʻu mei he mate ʻi hono ʻaho tolu:
He said to them, “This is what they wrote: That the Messiah would suffer [and die], but on the third day after that he would become alive again.
47 Pea ke malangaʻaki ʻae fakatomala, mo e fakamolemole ʻoe angahala ʻi hono hingoa, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo fuofua fai ʻi Selūsalema.
[They] also [wrote that the message] must be preached {[that his disciples] must preach [the message]} [everywhere that people] must turn from their sinful ways for [God] to forgive their sins. [They wrote that his followers should preach that message, claiming] his authority [MTY]. They wrote that they should start [preaching] it in Jerusalem, and then [go and] preach it to all ethnic groups.
48 Pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
You [apostles] must tell people that you know that those things [that happened to me] are true.
49 Pea vakai, te u fekau kiate kimoutolu ʻae talaʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai: ka mou tatali ʻi he kolo ko Selūsalema, kaeʻoua ke mou maʻu ʻae mālohi mei ʻolunga.”
And I want you to know that I will send the [Holy Spirit] [MTY] to you, as my Father promised that [he would do]. But you must stay in this city until God fills you with the power [of his Spirit].”
50 Pea ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Pētani, pea naʻa ne hiki hake hono nima, ʻo tāpuaki ʻakinautolu.
Then [Jesus] led them outside [the city] until they came near Bethany [village]. There he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
51 Pea ʻiloange ʻi he lolotonga ʻene tāpuaki ʻakinautolu, naʻe mavahe ia meiate kinautolu, pea fua hake ia ki he langi.
As he was doing that, he left them [and went up to heaven].
52 Pea naʻa nau hū kiate ia, pea liu mai ki Selūsalema ʻi he fiefia lahi:
They worshipped him. And then they returned to Jerusalem very joyfully.
53 Mo nau nofomaʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua. ʻEmeni.
Each day [SYN] they went into the Temple [courtyard], and spent a lot of time praising God.
