Mahi 8
1 A i reira a Haora e whakaae ana ki tona matenga. Na i taua ra ka oho he whakatoinga nui ki te hahi i Hiruharama: a marara katoa ana ratou, puta noa i nga wahi o Huria, o Hamaria; kahore ia nga apotoro.
Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, naʻe lahi ʻae fakatanga ki he siasi ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko Siutea mo Samēlia, kae [nofo pe ]ʻae kau ʻaposetolo.
2 A na te hunga whakaaro a Tepene i tana, a he nui ta ratou tangihanga mona.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae putu ʻo Setiveni ʻe he kau tangata lotu, pea naʻe lahi ʻenau tangi ʻiate ia.
3 Ko Haora ia, tahoroa ana e ia te hahi, tomo ana ki tena whare, ki tena whare, toia atu ana nga tane me nga wahine, hoatu ana ki roto ki te whare herehere.
Ka ko Saula naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae siasi, ʻo hū ki he fale kotoa pē, mo ne toho ʻae kakai tangata mo e fefine, ʻo fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula.
4 No reira ko ratou tonu, ko nga mea i whakamararatia ra, i haereere ki te kauwhau i te kupu.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakamovetevete, naʻa nau ʻalu ki he potu kotoa pē, mo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola.
5 Na ko Piripi i heke atu ki te pa o Hamaria, a kauwhau ana i a te Karaiti ki a ratou.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hifo ʻa Filipe ki he kolo ʻo Samēlia, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi kiate kinautolu.
6 A kotahi tonu te whakaaro o nga mano ki te whakarongo ki nga mea i korero ai a Piripi, i a ratou e rongo ana, e kite ana i nga tohu i mea ai ia.
Pea naʻe tokanga ʻo loto taha ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Filipe, ʻi heʻenau fanongo mo mamata ki he ngaahi mana naʻa ne fai.
7 I puta mai hoki nga wairua poke i roto i te tini o nga mea e nohoia ana, he nui te reo ki te karanga: he tokomaha ano nga pararutiki, nga kopa i whakaorangia.
He naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻae kau laumālie ʻuli mei he tokolahi naʻa nau ʻulusino ai, ʻonau tangi leʻo lahi: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae tokolahi naʻe pukea ʻi he mahaki tete, pea mo e kau pipiki.
8 A nui atu te hari o taua pa.
Pea naʻe lahi ʻae fiefia ʻi he kolo ko ia.
9 Na i reira tetahi tangata, ko Haimona te ingoa, he mahi makutu tana i mua atu i roto i taua pa, a miharo ana te iwi o Hamaria, i mea hoki ia i a ia he tangata nui.
Ka naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata naʻe hingoa ko Saimone, ʻaia ne tomuʻa fai ʻae kikite ʻi he kolo ʻo ne fakamanaʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, mo ne pole ko e lahi ia:
10 I whakarongo katoa hoki ratou ki a ia te iti me te rahi, i mea, Ko taua kaha o te Atua tenei tangata, e kiia nei ko te nui.
Pea naʻa nau tokanga kotoa pē kiate ia, mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e mālohi lahi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni.”
11 A i whakarongo ratou ki a ia, no te mea kua roa ke ratou e miharo ana ki ana mahi makutu.
Pea naʻa nau tokanga kiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo fuoloa ʻene fakaofo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene fie mana.
12 A, no ratou ka whakapono ki a Piripi; e kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua, i te ingoa hoki o Ihu Karaiti, ka iriiria ratou, nga tane me nga wahine.
Ka kuo nau tui kia Filipe, ʻi heʻene malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, pea nau papitaiso, ʻae tangata mo e fefine.
13 Ko Haimona tonu tetahi i whakapono: a ka iriiria, ka piri tahi ki a Piripi; a, no tona kitenga i nga tohu me nga merekara nunui i mahia, ka miharo.
Pea toki tui foki mo Saimone: pea kuo papitaiso ia, pea nofo ia mo Filipe, ʻo ofo ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi naʻa ne fai.
14 A, i te rongonga o nga apotoro i Hiruharama kua tango a Hamaria i te kupu a te Atua, ka tonoa atu e ratou a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou:
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau ʻaposetolo ʻi Selūsalema kuo tali ʻe Samēlia, ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua, naʻa nau fekau ʻa Pita mo Sione kiate kinautolu:
15 No to raua taenga iho, ka inoi mo ratou, kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a ratou:
Pea ʻi heʻena hoko hifo, naʻa na hūfia ʻakinautolu, ke nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
16 Kahore ano hoki ia i tau noa ki tetahi o ratou: he mea iriiri kau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.
(He naʻe teʻeki ai tō ia ki ha niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu: ka kuo nau papitaiso pe ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.)
17 Me i reira ka whakapakia iho o ratou ringa ki a ratou, a ka riro mai te Wairua Tapu i a ratou.
Pea naʻa na toki hilifaki hona nima kiate kinautolu, pea nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
18 A, no te kitenga o Haimona, na te whakapanga iho o nga ringa o nga apotoro i homai ai te Wairua tapu, ka mea ki te hoatu moni ki a raua,
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Saimone ʻoku foaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he hili ʻae nima ʻoe ongo ʻaposetolo, pea fie ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae paʻanga kiate kinaua,
19 Ka ki, Homai hoki ki ahau tenei mana, kia riro ai te Wairua Tapu i te tangata e whakapakia iho ai e ahau oku ringa.
ʻO ne pehē, “Foaki mai foki kiate au ʻae mālohi ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ʻaia te u hili ki ai hoku nima, ke maʻu ʻe ia ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
20 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, Kia pirau ngatahi korua ko tau moni, ina koe ka whakaaro ma te moni ka whiwhi ai ki te mea homai noa a te Atua.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Ke malaʻia mo koe hoʻo paʻanga, koeʻuhi kuo ke mahalo ʻe faʻa fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga ʻae foaki ʻae ʻOtua.
21 Kahore he wahi mau, kahore he taunga mou i tenei mea: kahore hoki i tika tou ngakau i te aroaro o te Atua.
ʻOku ʻikai siʻi hao ʻinasi pe tufakanga ʻi he meʻa ni: he ʻoku ʻikai lelei ho loto ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
22 Na, ripenetatia tenei kino ou, a inoi ki te Atua, me kore noa e murua te whakaaro o tou ngakau.
Ko ia ke ke fakatomala ʻi hoʻo angahala ni, pea hū ki he ʻOtua, heiʻilo ʻe fakamolemole kiate koe ʻae mahalo ʻo ho loto.
23 Kua kite hoki ahau i a koe, kei roto koe i te au kawa, kei te here o te kino.
He ʻoku ou ʻilo ni ʻoku ke ʻi he kona ʻoe ʻahu, pea ʻoku haʻi ʻaki koe ʻae angahala.”
24 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, Ma korua e inoi moku ki te Ariki, kei pa ki ahau tetahi o nga mea kua korerotia mai na e korua.
Pea leaange ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “Mo hūfia au ki he ʻEiki, ke ʻoua naʻa tō kiate au ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo mo lea ki ai.”
25 A, ka mutu ta raua whakaatu, ta raua kauwhau i te kupu a te Ariki, ka hoki ki Hiruharama, he maha hoki nga kainga o nga Hamari i kauwhautia ai e raua te rongopai.
Pea kuo ʻosi ʻena fakahā mo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ne na toe liu mai ki Selūsalema, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai kehekehe ʻo Samēlia.
26 Na ka korero tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a Piripi, ka mea, Whakatika, haere ki te tonga, ki te ara e heke atu ana i Hiruharama ki Kaha; he koraha tera.
Pea naʻe lea ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Filipe, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu, pea ke ʻalu ki he feituʻu tonga, ki he hala ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema ki Kesa, ʻaia ko e toafa.”
27 Whakatika ana ia, haere ana: na ko tetahi tangata o Etiopia, he unaka, he tangata nui na Kanarahi, kuini o nga Etiopiana, ko te kaitiaki ia o ana taonga katoa, i haere ki Hiruharama ki te karakia;
Pea tuʻu ia, ʻo ʻalu: pea vakai, ko e tangata ʻItiopea, ko e ʻiunoke, koē naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻene koloa kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema ke lotu:
28 A e hoki mai ana, e noho ana i runga i tona hariata, e korero ana i a Ihaia poropiti.
Pea ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo heka ʻi hono saliote, pea naʻe lau ʻe ia ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.
29 Na ka mea te Wairua ki a Piripi, Whakatata atu, ka haere atu koe ki te hariata ra.
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he Laumālie kia Filipe, “ʻAlu atu ke hoko ki he saliote na.”
30 Katahi a Piripi ka oma atu ki a ia, ka rongo i a ia e korero ana i a Ihaia poropiti, ka mea atu, E matau ana ranei koe ki tau e korero na?
Pea lele atu ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne fanongo ki heʻene lautohi ʻi he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ke ʻilo [hono ʻuhinga ]ʻo ia ʻoku ke lau?”
31 Ano ra ko ia, Me pehea koia, ki te kore tetahi hei arataki i ahau? Na ka mea ia ki a Piripi kia eke ki runga kia noho tahi me ia.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻilo fēfē, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai fakahinohino au ʻe ha tangata?” Pea naʻa ne kole kia Filipe ke ʻalu hake ke na haheka mo ia.
32 Na, ko te wahi o te karaipiture e korero nei ia, ko tenei, I arahina ia ano he hipi kia patua; a, me te reme e wahangu ana i te aroaro o tona kaikutikuti, kihai i kuihi tona waha;
Ko e potu ʻeni ʻi he tohi naʻa ne lau, “Naʻe tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e sipi ke tāmateʻi; pea hangē ko e lami ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi, pehē naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga:
33 I ona whakaitinga i whakakorea he whakawa mona: ma wai hoki tona whakatupuranga e korero? Kua tangohia atu nei tona ora i te whenua.
ʻI heʻene moʻulaloa naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia: pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga? He naʻe ʻave ʻene moʻui ʻi māmani.”
34 Na ka whakahoki te unaka ki a Piripi, ka mea, Tena koa, mo wai tenei korero a te poropiti? mona ake ano, mo tetahi atu ranei?
Pea leaange ʻae ʻiunoke kia Filipe, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ko e lea eni ʻae palōfita kia hai? Kiate ia, pe ki ha tangata kehe?”
35 Na ka puaki te mangai o Piripi, a, timata mai i taua karaipiture, kauwhautia ana e ia a Ihu ki a ia.
Pea mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Filipe ʻo ne kamata ʻi he tohi ko ia, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻa Sisu kiate ia.
36 A, i a raua e haere ana i te ara, ka tae atu raua ki tetahi wai, ka mea te unaka, Na, he wai tenei: he aha te mea e kore ai ahau e iriiria?
Pea ʻi heʻena fononga ʻi he hala, naʻa na hoko ki he vai: pea pehē ʻe he ʻiunoke, “Vakai, ko e vai; ko e hā ʻoku taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻaku papitaiso?”
37 Mea atu ana a Piripi, Ki te whakapono tou ngakau katoa, e ahei ano koe. na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, E whakapono ana ahau ko Ihu Karaiti te Tama a te Atua.
Pea pehē ʻe Filipe, “ʻOku lelei ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke tuiʻaki ho loto kotoa.” Pea ne leaange, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou tui ko Sisu Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua,”
38 Katahi ia ka whakahau i te haraiata kia tu: ka haere atu raua tokorua ki roto i te wai, a Piripi raua ko te unaka; a iriiria ana ia e ia.
pea fekau ʻe ia ke tuʻu ʻae saliote: pea ne na ʻohifo fakatouʻosi ki he vai, ʻa Filipe mo e ʻiunoke; pea ne papitaiso ʻi ai.
39 A, i to raua putanga ake i te wai, kahakina atu ana a Piripi e te Wairua o te Ariki: a mutu tonu te kitenga atu o te unaka i a ia, heoi haere hari atu ana ia i tona ara.
Pea kuo na ʻohake mei he vai, pea ʻave ʻa Filipe ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki, pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ʻe he ʻiunoke kiate ia: pea fononga ia ʻi hono hala kuo fiefia.
40 Ko Piripi ia i kitea ki Ahota; a, i a ia e haere ana, kauwhautia ana e ia te rongopai ki nga pa katoa, a tae noa ia ki Hiharia.
Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻa Filipe ʻi ʻAsota: pea fononga atu ia, mo malanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻo fai ki Sesalia.
