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.
And, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.
2 Pea naʻa nau vakai kuo tekaʻi ʻae maka mei he fonualoto.
But they found the stone rolled back from the tomb,
3 Pea naʻa nau hū atu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻae sino ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
and on entering they found that 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:
At this they were in great perplexity, when suddenly there stood by them two men whose raiment flashed like lightning.
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 terrified; but, as they stood with their faces bowed to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you search among the dead for Him who is living?
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 come back to life. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,
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.’”
when He told you that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again."
8 Pea naʻa nau manatu ki heʻene ngaahi lea,
Then they remembered His words,
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.
and returning from the tomb they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
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 women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; and they and the rest of the women related all this to the Apostles.
11 Pea naʻe tatau ʻenau ngaahi lea kiate kinautolu mo e talanoa launoa, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate kinautolu.
But the whole story seemed to them an idle tale; they could not believe the women.
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.
Peter, however, rose and ran to the tomb. Stooping and looking in, he saw nothing but the linen cloths: so he went away to his own home, wondering at what had happened.
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.
On that same day two of the disciples were walking to Emmaus, a village seven or eight miles from Jerusalem,
14 Pea naʻa na talanoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kuo toki hoko,
and were conversing about all these recent events;
15 Pea lolotonga ʻae fai ʻena talanoa mo ʻena fakakaukau, mo ʻene ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Sisu, ʻo fononga mo kinaua.
and, in the midst of their conversation and discussion, Jesus Himself came and joined them,
16 Ka naʻe taʻofi ʻa hona mata, ke ʻoua naʻa na ʻilo ia.
though they were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinaua, “Ko e talanoa hā ia ʻoku mo fetalanoaʻaki ʻi hoʻomo fononga, pea mo mamahi ai?”
"What is the subject," He asked them, "on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?" And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.
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?
Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered, "Are you a stranger lodging alone in Jerusalem, that you have known nothing of the things that have lately happened in the city?"
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:
"What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;
20 Pea mo e tukuange ia ʻe homau kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau fakamaau ke tāmateʻi, pea kuo tutuki ia ki he ʻakau.
and how our High Priests and Rulers delivered Him up to be sentenced to death, and crucified Him.
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.
But we were hoping that it was He who was about to ransom Israel. Yes, and moreover it was the day before yesterday that these things happened.
22 ʻIo, pea fakaofo kiate kimautolu ʻe homau kau fefine niʻihi, naʻa nau ʻalu hengihengi ki he fonualoto;
And, besides, some of the women of our company have amazed us. They went to the tomb at daybreak,
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.
and, finding that His body was not there, they came and declared to us that they had also seen a vision of angels who 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.”
Thereupon some of our party went to the tomb and found things just as the women had said; but Jesus Himself they did not see."
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:
"O dull-witted men," He replied, "with minds so slow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
26 He ʻikai naʻe totonu kia Kalaisi ke kātaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, pea hū ai ki hono nāunau?”
Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer, and then enter into His glory?"
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.
And, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them the passages in Scripture which refer to Himself.
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.
When they had come near the village to which they were going, He appeared to be going 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 pressed Him to remain with them. "Because," said they, "it is getting towards evening, and the day is nearly over." So He went in 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.
But as soon as He had sat down with them, and had taken the bread and had blessed and broken it, and was handing it to them,
31 Pea ʻā ai hona mata, ʻo na ʻilo ia pea ʻiloange, kuo mole ia ʻi hona ʻao.
their eyes were opened and they recognized Him. But He vanished from them.
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?”
"Were not our hearts," they said to one another, "burning within us while He talked to us on the way and explained the Scriptures to us?"
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 rose and without an hour's delay returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven and the rest met together, who said to them,
34 ʻonau pehē, “Kuo toetuʻu moʻoni ʻae ʻEiki, pea kuo fakahā ia kia Saimone.”
"Yes, it is true: the Master has come back to life. He has been seen by Simon."
35 Pea tala ʻekinaua ʻae ngaahi meʻa [naʻe fai ]ʻi he hala, pea mo ʻena ʻilo ia ʻi he tofi ʻoe mā.
Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
36 Pea lolotonga ʻenau lea pehē, mo e tuʻu ʻa Sisu ʻi honau haʻohaʻonga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Fiemālie pe ʻakimoutolu.”
While they were thus talking, He Himself stood in their midst and said, "Peace be to you!"
37 Pea naʻa nau tāfuʻua mo ilifia, ʻo mahalo kuo nau mamata ki ha laumālie.
Startled, and in the utmost alarm, they thought they were looking at a spirit;
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?
but He said to them, "Why such alarm? And why are there such questionings in your minds?
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.”
See my hands and my feet--it is my very self. Feel me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see I have."
40 Pea hili ʻene lea ko ia, naʻa ne toki fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa hono nima mo hono vaʻe.
And then He showed them 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?”
But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"
42 Pea nau ange kiate ia ʻae konga ika kuo tunu, mo e ngeʻesi hone.
And they gave Him a piece of roasted fish,
43 Pea ne toʻo [ia], ʻo kai ʻi honau ʻao.
and He took it and ate it in their presence.
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.”
And He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you--that everything must be fulfilled that is written in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and the Psalms concerning me."
45 Pea toki toʻo ʻe ia ʻa honau loto, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi tohi,
Then He opened their minds to understand 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:
and He said, "Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise again from among the dead;
47 Pea ke malangaʻaki ʻae fakatomala, mo e fakamolemole ʻoe angahala ʻi hono hingoa, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo fuofua fai ʻi Selūsalema.
and that proclamation would be made, in His name, of repentance and forgiveness of sins to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem.
48 Pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
You are witnesses as to these things.
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 remember that I am about to send out my Father's promised gift to rest upon you. But, as for you, wait patiently in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 Pea ne tataki atu ʻakinautolu ʻo aʻu ki Pētani, pea naʻa ne hiki hake hono nima, ʻo tāpuaki ʻakinautolu.
And He brought them out to within view of Bethany, and then 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.
And while He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into Heaven.
52 Pea naʻa nau hū kiate ia, pea liu mai ki Selūsalema ʻi he fiefia lahi:
They worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 Mo nau nofomaʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo fakamālō mo fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua. ʻEmeni.
Afterwards they were continually in attendance at the Temple, blessing God.
