< Kau ʻAposetolo 10 >
1 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.”
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
2 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.
A devout man, and one that feared Elohim with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to Elohim alway.
3 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.”
He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of YHWH coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
4 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.
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Master? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before Elohim.
5 Pea ke fekau leva ha kau tangata ki Sopa, ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita:
And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Kepha:
6 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.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 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;
And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 Pea kuo ne fakahā eni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu, pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Sopa.
And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 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:
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Kepha went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
10 Pea naʻe lahi ʻene fiekaia, pea holi ia ke kai; kae lolotonga ʻenau teu ia, naʻe ʻāvea hono loto,
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 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:
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fanga manu veʻe fā ʻoe fonua, mo e manu fekai, mo e manu totolo, mo e manu ʻoe ʻatā.
Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 Pea naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia, [ʻo pehē], “Tuʻu hake, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi mo kai.”
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Kepha; kill, and eat.
14 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito; he ʻoku teʻeki ai te u kai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua pe taʻemaʻa.”
But Kepha said, Not so, Master; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 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.”
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What YHWH hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 Pea naʻe fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo tuʻo tolu: pea toe fusi hake ʻae tupenu ki he langi.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
17 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,
Now while Kepha doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
18 “Pea naʻa nau ui, ʻo fehuʻi pe ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita.”
And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Kepha, were lodged there.
19 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.
While Kepha thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Ko ia ke ke tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hifo, pea mou ō mo kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: he kuo u fekau ʻakinautolu.”
Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 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?”
Then Kepha went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
22 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.”
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth Elohim, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from Elohim by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
23 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.
Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Kepha went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 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.
And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 Pea ʻi he hū atu ʻa Pita, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻa Koniliusi, pea tō ki lalo ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻo ne hū.
And as Kepha was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 Ka naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe Pita, mo pehē ʻe ia, “Tuʻu hake; he ko e tangata pe foki au.”
But Kepha took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 Pea naʻe kei lea ia kiate ia, pea hū ki [fale], pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi kuo fakataha.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 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.
And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but YHWH hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 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?”
Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 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,
And 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,
31 ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘Koniliusi, kuo ongo hoʻo hū, pea ʻoku manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hoʻo faʻa foaki.
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of Elohim.
32 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.’
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Kepha; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
33 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.”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before Elohim, to hear all things that are commanded thee of Elohim.
34 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:
Then Kepha opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that YHWH is no respecter of persons:
35 Ka ʻoku ne maʻu maʻana ʻaia ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, mo fai totonu, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 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: )
The word which YHWH sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Yahushua the Messiah: (he is master of all: )
37 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;
That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 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.
How YHWH anointed Yahushua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for YHWH was with him.
39 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:
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
40 Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo fakahā lahi ia;
Him YHWH raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
41 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.
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of YHWH, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
42 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.
And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of YHWH to be the Judge of quick and dead.
43 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.”
To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 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.
While Kepha yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them which heard the word.
45 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.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Kepha, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 He kuo nau fanongo ki heʻenau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita,
For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify YHWH. Then answered Kepha,
47 “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?”
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 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.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Yahushua. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
