Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
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 devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
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 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God 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 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
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 Simon, who is also called Peter.
Pea ke fekau leva ha kau tangata ki Sopa, ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita:
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
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 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
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 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Pea kuo ne fakahā eni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu, pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Sopa.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
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 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻene fiekaia, pea holi ia ke kai; kae lolotonga ʻenau teu ia, naʻe ʻāvea hono loto,
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners 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 kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
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 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Pea naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia, [ʻo pehē], “Tuʻu hake, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi mo kai.”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that 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 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
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 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up 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 very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made enquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
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 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
“Pea naʻa nau ui, ʻo fehuʻi pe ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita.”
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek 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 But arise, get down, 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 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. 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 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
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 called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied 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 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives 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 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
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 raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Ka naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe Pita, mo pehē ʻe ia, “Tuʻu hake; he ko e tangata pe foki au.”
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
Pea naʻe kei lea ia kiate ia, pea hū ki [fale], pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi kuo fakataha.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy 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 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send 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 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright 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 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘Koniliusi, kuo ongo hoʻo hū, pea ʻoku manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hoʻo faʻa foaki.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
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 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
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 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favouritism;
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 he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable 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, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he 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 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
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 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, 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 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, 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 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo fakahā lahi ia;
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose 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 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the 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 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission 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 still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard 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 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on 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 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
He kuo nau fanongo ki heʻenau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita,
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptised with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“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 He commanded them to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay 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.
