Oihana 16
1 A HELE aku la ia i Derebe a me Lusetera; aia hoi, malaila kekahi haumana, o Timoteo kona inoa, he keiki ia na kekahi wahine Iudaio i manaoio; a o kona makuakane hoi he Helene.
Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2 Ua hoike maikai ia oia e na hoahanau ma Lusetera a me Ikonio.
The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 Makemake aku la o Paulo ia ia e hele pu me ia; lawe iho la oia ia ia, okipoepoe iho la, no ka poe Iudaio i noho ma ia mau wahi; no ka mea, us ike no hoi lakou a pau i kona makuakane, he Helene.
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 A i ko lakou kaahele ana i na kulanakauhale, haawi mai la ia lakou e malama i na olelo i hooholoia'i e na lunaolelo, a me na lunakahiko ma Ierusalema.
As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5 Pela i hookupaaia'i na ekalesia ma ka manaoio, a hoonuiia ae la ka ekalesia i kela la i keia la.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6 A hele lakou ma Perugia, a me ka aina o Galatia, papa mai la ka Uhane Hemolele ia lakou, mai hai aku i ka olelo ma Asia;
After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7 A hiki mai la lakou i Musia, hoao iho la e hele ia Bitunia; aka, aole i ae mai ka Uhane ia lakou.
And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8 A maalo ae ia Musia, iho aku la lakou a hiki i Teroa.
So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 A ikea mai la e Paulo i ka po ka hihio; ku mai la kokahi kanaka no Makedonia, nonoi mai la ia ia, i mai la, E hele mai i Makedonia, e kokua mai ia makou.
During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 I kona ike ana i ka hihio, imi koke aku la makou, e hele ia Makedonia, no ka mea, i ko makou manao ua kahea mai ka Haku ia makou, e hai aku i ka euanelio ia lakou.
As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Nolaila hoi, hookuuia makou mai Teroa, a holo pololei aku la i Samoterake, a ia la iho, i Neapoli;
We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12 A malaila aku i Pilipi, oia ke kulanakauhale nui o ia aoao o Makedonia, he panalaau ia. Noho iho la makou ma ia kulanakauhale i kekahi mau la.
From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 A i ka la Sabati hele ako la makou iwaho o ke kulanakauhale ma kekahi kahawai, i kahi e pule mau ia'i; noho iho la makou, e olelo aku i na wahine i akoakoaia.
On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14 A o kekahi wahine, o Ludia kona mea, no ke kulanakauhale, no Tuateira, he wahine kuai i ka lole poni, na hoomana hoi i ke Akua, hoolohe mai la ia, a na ka Haku no i holahola kona naau, i hoolohe ia i na mea i oleloia'i e Paulo.
Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 A bapetizoia iho la ia, a me ko kona hale, a nonoi mai la ia, i mai la, Ina manao oukou na malama pono wau i ka Haku, e hele mai i ko'u bale, e noho ai. Koi mai la oia ia makou.
And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16 I ko makou hele ana i kahi e pule ai, halawai mai la kekahi kaikamahine me makou he uhane kilokilo koloko ona; oia no ka i waiwai nui ai kona mau haku, no kana kilokilo ana.
One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 Hahai mai la no hoi oia ia Paulo a me makou, a kahea mai la, i mai, O keia mau kanaka, he mau kauwa lakou na ke Akua kiekie loa, na lakou no i hoike mai ia kakou i ke ala o ke ola.
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18 Hana mai no ia i kela mea i na la he nui. Ana ae la o Paulo, a huli ae la, i aku i ua uhane la, Ke hookikina aku nei au ia oe, ma ka inoa o Iesu Kristo, e puka mai mawaho ona. Puka mai la no ia ia hora no.
She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19 A ike iho la kona mau haku ua lilo ko lakou mea i waiwai ai, hopu mai la lakou ia Paulo laua me Sila, a kauo aku la ia lana i kahi kuai, i na'lii;
When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20 A alako aku la ia laua i na luna, i aku la, Ua nui loa ka hoohaunaele ana mai o keia mau kanaka Iudaio i ko kakou kalanakauhale,
They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21 A ke ao mai nei laua i ka aoao pono ole ia kakou ke apo aku a malama, no ka mea, ho poe Roma kakou.
by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22 Ku e pu mai la ka ahakanaka ia laua, a haehae iho la na luna i ko laua kapa, kauoha aku la e hahau ia laua.
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23 Hahau nui mai la lakou ia laua, hahao aku la ia laua iloko o ka halepaahao, kauoha aku la i ka luna o ka halepaahao, e kiai ikaika loa ia.
And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24 I ka loaa ana o keia kauoha, hahao aku la oia ia laua maloko lilo o ka halepaahao, a hoopaa iho la i ko laua mau wawae ma ka laau.
On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 A i ko aumoe, pule aku la o Paulo laua o Sila, himeni iho la i ke Akua, a lohe mai la ka poo paahao ia laua.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Emo ole hoi he olai nm, haalulu ae la ke kumu o ka halepaahao; a wehe koke ia iho la na puka a pau, a hemo wale no hoi na mea paa o lakou a pau.
Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27 A o ka luna o ka halepaahao, ala iho la ia, mai ka hiamoe ana, ike ae la ua hamama na puka o ka halepaahao, unuhi aku la ia i ka pahikaua, e pepehi ia ia iho; no ka mea, manao iho la ia, ua holo na paahao.
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28 A hea mai la o Paulo me ka leo nui, i mai la, Mai hana ino oe ia oe iho; no ka mea, eia no makou a pau.
But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 Noi aku la ia i kukui, lele aku la iloko, e haalulu ana, moe iho la imua o Paulo laua me Sila,
Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 A kai mai la ia laua mawaho, i aku la, E na haku, heaha ka'u e hana'i i ola au?
Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 I mai la laua, E manaoio aku i ka Haku ia Iesu Kristo, a e ola oe a me ko ka hale ou.
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Hai mai la laua ia ia i ka olelo a ka Haku, a i ka poe a pau maloko o kona hale.
Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33 Ia hora no o ka po, lawe ae la oia ia laua, a holoi iho la i ko laua mau palapu; a bapetizo koke ia iho la ia a me kona poe a pau.
At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34 Alakai aku la oia la laua iloko o kona hale, a kau mai i ka papaaina, a olioli iho la ia me kona mau ohua a pau, me ka manaoio aku i ke Akua.
Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35 A ao ae la, hoouna mai la na luna i ilamuku, i mai la, E kuu aku i kela mau kanaka.
When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36 A hai aku la ka luna o ka halepaahao i keia mau olelo ia Paulo, Ua hoouna mai nei na luna e kuu wale aku ia olua; no ia mea, e puka iwaho, a e hele me ka maluhia.
The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37 Aka, i mai la o Paulo ia lakou, Ua hanau akea mai la lakou ia maua he mau Roms, me ka hooku ole i ka hala, a ua hahao mai maloko o ka halepaahao; a ke manao nei anei lakou e kipaku malu ia maua? Aole loa pela; na lakou no e kii mai, a e kai aku ia maua iwaho
But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38 Hai ae la na ilamuku i keia mau olelo i na luna; a lohe lakou, he mau Roma, makau iho la lakou.
So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39 Hele ae la lakou, nonoi ae la ia laua, a kai aku la mawaho, nonoi aku la e haalele laua ia kulanakauhale.
They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40 A hele aku la laua mawaho o ka halepaahao, a komo ako la iloko o ka hale o Ludia; a ike laua i na hoahanau, a hooikaika aku la ia lakou, alaila hele aku la laua.
After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
