Acts 13
1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Pea naʻe ʻi he siasi ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae niʻihi ko e kau palōfita mo e akonaki; ko Pānepasa, mo Simione ʻoku ui ko Nika, mo Lusio mei Sailine, mo Maneno, ʻaia naʻa na nonofo mo Helota ko e tuʻi, pea mo Saula.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.
Pea lolotonga ʻenau ngāue ki he ʻEiki, mo ʻaukai, naʻe pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, “Vavahe mai maʻaku ʻa Pānepasa mo Saula ki he ngāue kuo u fili ʻakinaua ki ai.”
3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.
Pea kuo nau ʻaukai mo lotu, pea nau hili honau nima kiate kinaua, ʻo tuku ke na ō.
4 So they being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Pea kuo fekau ʻakinaua ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, naʻa na ō ki Selusia; pea folau mei ai ki Saipalo.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had also John for [their] minister.
Pea ʻi heʻena ʻi Salamisi, naʻa na malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu: pea naʻe ʻiate kinaua foki ʻa Sione ko [hona ]tauhi.
6 And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Barjesus:
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae motu ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea nau aʻu ki Pafosi, ʻonau ʻilo ai ʻae fie mana ʻe tokotaha, ko e palōfita loi, ko e Siu, naʻe hingoa ko Pāsisu:
7 Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
Naʻe nonofo ia mo e pule ʻoe fonua, ko Sesio-Paula, ko e tangata poto; pea naʻe ui mai ʻe ia kia Pānepasa mo Saula, ko ʻene fie fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
Ka naʻe fakatanga ʻakinaua ʻe he fie mana ko ʻElima, (he ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻo hono hingoa, ) ʻo ne ʻahiʻahi ke taʻofi ʻae pule ke ʻoua naʻa tui ia.
9 Then Saul (who also [is called] Paul) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,
Pea naʻe fonu ʻa Saula, (ʻa ia foki ko Paula, ) ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ne sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia,
10 And said, O full of all subtilty, and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
Mo ne pehē, “ʻA koe, ʻoku ke fonu ʻi he kākā kotoa pē mo e pauʻu kotoa pē, ko e foha ʻoe tēvolo, ko e fili ʻoe māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoʻo fakakoviʻi ʻae ngaahi hala totonu ʻoe ʻEiki?
11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Pea ko eni, vakai, kuo ʻiate koe ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki, pea te ke kui, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke mamata ki he laʻā ʻo fuoloa.” Pea tō leva kiate ia ʻae nenefu mo e fakapoʻuli; pea ne tautaufā ʻo kumi ha taha ke ne tataki ia ʻi hono nima.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he pule ki he meʻa kuo fai, pea tui ia, he kuo ofo ʻi he akonaki ʻae ʻEiki.
13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Pea kuo ʻalu ʻa Paula mo hono kau fononga ʻi Pafosi, naʻa nau aʻu ki Peaka ʻi Pamifilia: pea liʻaki ʻakinaua ʻe Sione, kae foki ia ki Selūsalema.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath, and sat down.
Pea kuo na ō ʻi Peaka, pea na aʻu ki ʻAniteoke ʻi Pisitia, pea hū ki he falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate, ʻo nofo hifo.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.
Pea hili ʻae lau ʻoe fono mo e kau palōfita, naʻe fakahā ʻe he kau pule ʻoe falelotu kiate kinaua, ʻo pehē, “Ongo tangata ko e kāinga, kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoua ha akonaki maʻae kakai, ke mo lea.”
16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand, said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Paula, ʻo kamo ʻaki hono nima, mo ne pehē, “ʻAe kakai ʻIsileli, mo kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, tokanga mai.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe kakai ʻIsileli ni, naʻa ne fili ʻetau ngaahi tamai, pea ne hakeakiʻi ʻae kakai ʻi he nofo ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei ai ʻaki ʻae nima kuo mafao.
18 And about the time of forty years he suffered their manners in the wilderness.
Pea naʻa ne kātaki ʻenau anga ʻi he toafa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu nai.
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae puleʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, naʻa ne tufaki honau fonua kiate kinautolu ʻi he talotalo.
20 And after that he gave [to them] judges, about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
Pea hili ia, naʻe foaki ʻae kau fakamaau ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngeau mo e nimangofulu nai, ʻo aʻu kia Samuela ko e palōfita.
21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
“Pea hili ia, naʻa nau holi ki ha tuʻi pea naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu, ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu, ʻa Saula ko e foha ʻo Kisi, ko e tangata ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king: to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfill all my will.
Pea kuo ne liua ia, pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa Tevita ko honau tuʻi; ʻaia naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ai, ʻo pehē, ‘Kuo u ʻilo ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese, ko e tangata tatau mo hoku loto, pea ʻe fai ʻe ia ʻa hoku loto kotoa pē.’
23 Of this man's offspring hath God, according to [his] promise, raised up to Israel a Savior, Jesus:
Pea kuo fokotuʻu ki ʻIsileli ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he hako ʻoe tangata ni ʻae Fakamoʻui ko Sisu, ʻo hangē ko e talaʻofa:
24 John having first preached, before his coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Ka naʻe fuofua malangaʻaki ʻe Sione ʻae papitaiso ʻoe fakatomala, ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he teʻeki ai haʻu ia.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.
Pea ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Sione ʻene lakanga, naʻa ne pehē, ‘ʻOku mou pehē ko hai au? ʻOku ʻikai ko ia au. Kae vakai, ʻoku muimui mai ʻae tokotaha ʻiate au, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai taau mo au ke u vete ʻae topuvaʻe mei hono vaʻe.’
26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
“ʻAe kau tangata ko e kāinga, ko e fānau ʻae hako ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ia fulipē ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku manavahē ki he ʻOtua, kuo fekau mai kiate kimoutolu ʻae tala ʻoe fakamoʻui ni.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him].
He ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi Selūsalema, mo honau kau pule, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau taʻeʻilo ia, mo e leʻo ʻoe kau palōfita ʻoku lau ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, kuo nau fakamoʻoni ia ʻi he fakamaauʻi ke mate.
28 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death.
Pea neongo ʻae ʻikai pe te nau ʻilo ha meʻa ke mate ai ia, ka naʻa nau kole kia Pailato ʻa hono tāmateʻi.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulcher.
Pea hili ʻenau fakamoʻoni ʻaia kotoa pē kuo tohi kiate ia, naʻa nau vete hifo ia mei he ʻakau, ʻo tuku ki he fonualoto.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei he mate:
31 And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻakinautolu naʻe omi mo ia mei Kāleli ki Selūsalema, ʻaia ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ki he kakai.
32 And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers,
Pea ʻoku ma fakahā kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongoongolelei, koeʻuhi ʻi he talaʻofa naʻe tuku ki he ngaahi tamai,
33 God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Ko ia kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu ko ʻenau fānau, ʻi heʻene toe fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi hono ua ʻoe Saame, ‘Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.
34 And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
Pea koeʻuhi ko ʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, ke ʻoua naʻa toe foki ki he ʻauʻauha, naʻa ne lea pehē, ‘Te u tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻae ngaahi meʻaʻofa moʻoni ʻa Tevita.’
35 Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai foki ʻe ia ʻi he [Saame ]ʻe taha, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke tuku ʻa hoʻo tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.’
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
He kuo hili ʻae fai ʻe Tevita ʻi hono kuonga ki he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ne mohe ia, pea tanu ia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha:
37 But he whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
Ka ko ia naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae ʻauʻauha.
38 Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
Ko ia ke ʻilo ʻekimoutolu, ʻae kau tangata ko e kāinga, ʻoku malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he tangata ni ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala:
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Pea ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui, ʻoku fakatonuhiaʻi mei he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakatonuhia mei ai ʻe he fono ʻa Mōsese.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets;
Ko ia vakai telia naʻa hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻi he kau palōfita;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.
‘Vakai, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau luma, pea ofo, mo malaʻia: he ʻoku ou fai ha ngāue ʻi homou ngaahi ʻaho, ha ngāue ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou tui ki ai, neongo hono fakahā ʻe ha tangata kiate kimoutolu.”
42 And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae kakai Siu ʻi he falelotu, naʻe kole ʻae Senitaile ke malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻae ngaahi lea ni ʻi he Sāpate ʻe haʻu.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Pea kuo tutuku ʻae kakai, naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo Pānepasa ʻae Siu mo e kakai ului faʻa lotu tokolahi: pea naʻa na lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo akonakiʻi ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua.
44 And the next sabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Pea hoko ki he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe taha, naʻe meimei fakataha ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were uttered by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Ka ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai Siu ki he fuʻu tokolahi, naʻa nau feinga ʻaupito, mo nau lea kehe ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula, ʻo fakakikihi mo lea kovi lahi.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Pea naʻe toki mālohi ai ʻae loto ʻo Paula mo Pānepasa, ʻo na pehē, “Naʻe totonu ke tomuʻa leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu: ka ʻi hoʻomou tekeʻi atu ia ʻiate kimoutolu, pea fakahā ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻaonga ki he moʻui taʻengata, vakai, te ma ō ki he kakai Senitaile. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldst be for salvation to the ends of the earth.
He kuo pehē ʻae fekau ʻae ʻEiki kiate kimautolu, Kuo u fokotuʻu koe koe maama ki he ngaahi Senitaile, pea koeʻuhi ko e moʻuiʻanga ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.”
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
Pea ʻi he fanongo eni ʻe he kakai Senitaile, naʻa nau fiefia, mo fakamālōʻia ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua: pea naʻe tui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe loto ki he moʻui taʻengata. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
Pea naʻe malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ko ia.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
Ka naʻe fakatupu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae loto ʻoe kau fefineʻeiki kuo lotu, mo e kau matāpule tangata ʻoe kolo, ʻonau fakalanga ʻae fakatanga kia Paula mo Pānepasa, pea naʻe kapusi ʻakinaua ʻi honau fonua.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Ka naʻa na tūtuuʻi ʻae efu mei hona vaʻe kiate kinautolu, pea na ō ki ʻIkoniume.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Pea naʻe fakapito ʻaki ʻae kau ākonga ʻae fiefia, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
