Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;
Pea naʻe ʻi Sesalia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ko Koniliusi hono hingoa, ko e ʻeikitau ʻoe kau tau naʻe ui “[Ko e kau Tau ]ʻItali.”
2 A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.
Ko e faʻa lotu ia, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia mo hono fale kotoa pē, pea naʻe lahi ʻene foaki ki he kakai, mo ne hū maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua.
3 He saw in a vision, clearly, at about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of the Lord coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!
Pea mamata pau ʻe ia ʻi ha meʻa hā mai, ʻi hono hiva nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻaho, ki ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Koniliusi.”
4 And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.
Pea kuo vakai ia ki ai, pea manavahē ia, mo pehē, “Ko e hā ia, ʻEiki?” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo aʻu hake hoʻo ngaahi hū mo hoʻo faʻa foaki, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,
Pea ke fekau leva ha kau tangata ki Sopa, ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita:
6 Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.
ʻOku nofo ia mo Saimone ko e tufunga ngaohi kiliʻi manu, ʻoku tuʻu hono fale ʻi he matātahi: pea te ne tala kiate koe ʻae meʻa totonu ke ke fai.”
7 And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;
Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻāngelo naʻe lea kia Koniliusi, pea ui ia ki he toko ua ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e tangata tau ʻoku lotu, meiate kinautolu naʻe tali fekau kiate ia;
8 And having given them an account of everything, he sent them to Joppa.
Pea kuo ne fakahā eni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu, pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Sopa.
9 Now the day after, when they were on their journey and were near the town, Peter went up to the top of the house for prayer, about the sixth hour:
Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau fononga atu, ʻo ofi ki he kolo, kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Pita ki he tuʻa fale ke lotu, ʻi hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā:
10 And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;
Pea naʻe lahi ʻene fiekaia, pea holi ia ke kai; kae lolotonga ʻenau teu ia, naʻe ʻāvea hono loto,
11 And he saw the heavens opening, and a vessel coming down, like a great cloth let down on the earth,
Pea mamata ia kuo matangaki ʻae langi, pea tuku hifo kiate ia ha meʻa ʻo hangē ha fuʻu tupenu, kuo fakakaveʻi ʻi hono kapa ʻe fā, pea tukutukuhifo ia ki he kelekele:
12 In which were all sorts of beasts and birds.
Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fanga manu veʻe fā ʻoe fonua, mo e manu fekai, mo e manu totolo, mo e manu ʻoe ʻatā.
13 And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
Pea naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia, [ʻo pehē], “Tuʻu hake, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi mo kai.”
14 But Peter said, No, Lord; for I have never taken food which is common or unclean.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito; he ʻoku teʻeki ai te u kai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua pe taʻemaʻa.”
15 And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
Pea naʻe toe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia ko hono tuʻo ua, “Ko ia kuo fakamaʻa ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke pehē ʻoku ʻikai ngofua.”
16 And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo tuʻo tolu: pea toe fusi hake ʻae tupenu ki he langi.
17 Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,
Pea lolotonga ʻae fifili ʻa Pita ʻi hono loto pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa kuo ne mamata ai, ʻiloange, kuo tutuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻae kau tangata fekau ʻa Koniliusi, kuo nau fehuʻi ki he fale ʻo Saimone,
18 To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.
“Pea naʻa nau ui, ʻo fehuʻi pe ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita.”
19 And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.
Pea lolotonga ʻae fifili ʻa Pita ki he meʻa kuo hā mai, pea pehē ʻe he Laumālie kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku kumi koe ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu.
20 Go down, then, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them.
Ko ia ke ke tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hifo, pea mou ō mo kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: he kuo u fekau ʻakinautolu.”
21 And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?
Pea toki ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita ki he kau tangata kuo fekau mai ʻe Koniliusi kiate ia; ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko au eni ʻoku mou kumi: pea ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou haʻu ai?”
22 And they said, Cornelius, a captain, an upright and God-fearing man, respected by all the nation of the Jews, had word from God by an angel to send for you to his house, and to give hearing to your words.
Pea nau pehē, “Ko Koniliusi ko e ʻEikitau, ko e tangata angatonu, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ongoongolelei ia ʻi he kakai Siu kotoa pē, naʻe valoki ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi ha ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni, ke ne fekau kiate koe ke ke ʻalu ki hono fale, ke ne fanongo ki ha ngaahi lea ʻiate koe.”
23 So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.
Pea naʻa ne toki ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki fale, ke nau nonofo. Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Pita mo kinautolu, pea naʻa nau ō mo e kāinga niʻihi mei Sopa.
24 And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻa nau hoko ki Sesalia. Pea tatali ʻa Koniliusi kiate kinautolu, pea kuo ne fakataha hono ngaahi kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi.
25 And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.
Pea ʻi he hū atu ʻa Pita, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻa Koniliusi, pea tō ki lalo ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻo ne hū.
26 But Peter, lifting him up, said, Get up, for I am a man as you are.
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe Pita, mo pehē ʻe ia, “Tuʻu hake; he ko e tangata pe foki au.”
27 And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;
Pea naʻe kei lea ia kiate ia, pea hū ki [fale], pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi kuo fakataha.
28 And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ʻi he tangata Siu ke fakataha mo e tangata mei he puleʻanga kehe, pe ʻalu ki ai; ka kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻaku ui ko e taʻetapu pe taʻemaʻa ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.
29 And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?
Ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai, ʻo ʻikai teu paongataʻa ʻi he fekau mai kiate au: pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fehuʻi pe ko e hā ai kuo mou fekau mai kiate au?”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,
Pea pehē ʻe Koniliusi, “Ko e ʻaho ʻe fā kuo hili ange, naʻaku ʻaukai ʻo hoko ki he feituʻulaʻā ni; pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻaku lotu ʻi hoku fale, pea mo ʻene tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae tangata ʻoku kofu fetapatapaki,
31 Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.
ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘Koniliusi, kuo ongo hoʻo hū, pea ʻoku manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hoʻo faʻa foaki.
32 Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.
Ko ia ke ke fekau ai ki Sopa ʻo ʻomi ki heni ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita; ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Saimone ko e tufunga ngaohi kiliʻi manu ʻi he matātahi: pea ka haʻu, ʻe lea ia kiate koe.’
33 So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.
Ko ia ne u fekau atu ai leva kiate koe; pea ko e meʻa lelei hoʻo haʻu. Pea ko eni, kuo mau fakataha kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ke fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”
34 Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
Pea toki mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Pita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻilo [ni ]ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he kakai:
35 But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
Ka ʻoku ne maʻu maʻana ʻaia ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, mo fai totonu, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all) —
Ko e akonaki eni naʻe tuku ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e malangaʻaki ʻae melino ia Sisu Kalaisi: (ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē: )
37 That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
Pea ko e ongoongo ko ia ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi, ʻaia naʻe fanongonongo ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, ʻo kamata ʻi Kāleli, ʻi he hili ʻae papitaiso naʻe malangaʻaki ʻe Sione;
38 About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
Koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e mālohi: ʻaia naʻe faʻa feʻaluʻaki ʻo fai lelei, mo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻe he tēvolo; he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua.
39 And we are witnesses of all the things which he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they put to death, hanging him on a tree.
Pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Siu, pea ʻi Selūsalema; ko ia ia foki naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi he tautau ʻi he ʻakau:
40 On the third day God gave him back to life, and let him be seen,
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo fakahā lahi ia;
41 Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ki he kakai kotoa pē, ka ki he fakamoʻoni naʻe tomuʻa fili ʻe he ʻOtua, kiate kimautolu, naʻa mau kai mo inu mo ia, ʻi he hili ʻene toetuʻu mei he mate.
42 And he gave us orders to give news of this to the people, and to give public witness that this is he whom God has made judge of the living and the dead.
Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kimautolu ke mau malanga ki he kakai, mo fakamoʻoni ko ia ia kuo fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtua ko e Fakamaau ki he moʻui mo e mate.
43 To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.
Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate ia ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē, ko ia fulipē ʻe tui kiate ia, ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala ʻi hono huafa.”
44 While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.
Pea ʻi he kei leaʻaki ʻe Pita ʻae ngaahi lea ni, ne tō hifo ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he lea.
45 And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,
Pea naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu naʻe tui, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe omi mo Pita, koeʻuhi kuo huaʻi hifo ki he Senitaile foki ʻae foaki ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
46 And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,
He kuo nau fanongo ki heʻenau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita,
47 Will any man say that these may not have baptism who have been given the Holy Spirit as we have?
“ʻE faʻa taʻofi ʻe ha taha ʻae vai, ke ʻoua naʻa papitaiso ʻakinautolu ni, ka kuo nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko kitautolu?”
48 And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.
Pea fekau ʻe ia ke nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻae ʻEiki. Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke nofo [mo kinautolu ]ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.
