Kau ʻAposetolo 14
1 Pea naʻe pehē ʻi ʻIkoniume, naʻa na ō fakataha ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻena lea, naʻe tui ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻi he Siu mo e Senitaile.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Ka ko e kau Siu taʻetui, naʻa nau ueʻi kovi ʻae kakai Senitaile, ʻo fakakoviʻi honau loto ki he kāinga.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Ka naʻe nofo fuoloa ai ʻakinaua, ʻo na lea mālohi ʻi he ʻEiki, pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he folofola ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻo ne tuku ke fai ʻe hona nima ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Ka naʻe vaeua ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo: naʻe kau ʻae niʻihi ki he kakai Siu, ka ko e niʻihi ki he ongo ʻaposetolo.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Pea fai ke feʻohofi ʻae Senitaile, mo e Siu mo honau ngaahi pule, ke ngaohikoviʻi mo tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinaua.
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 Pea naʻa na ʻilo ki ai, pea na hola ki Lisita mo Teape, ko e ongo kolo ʻo Likonia, pea ki he ngaahi potu naʻe vāofi:
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 Pea naʻa na malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Pea naʻe nofo ʻi Lisita ʻae tangata ʻe taha, naʻe veʻe mate, ko e pipiki ia mei he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē, kuo teʻeki ʻaupito ke ʻeveʻeva:
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Pea naʻe fanongo ia ki he lea ʻa Paula: ʻaia naʻe sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia, pea ne ʻilo kuo maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tui ke moʻui ai,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 Pea ne leaʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Tuʻu totonu hake ʻi ho vaʻe.” Pea naʻe hopohopo ia, ʻo ʻeveʻeva.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Paula, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻi he lea fakaLikonia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo maliu hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kiate kitautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe tangata.”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 Pea naʻa nau ui ʻa Pānepasa, ko Supita; kae [ui ]ʻa Paula, ko Mekulio, koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻe faʻa malanga.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Supita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi honau veʻe kolo, ne ʻomi ʻe ia ki he matapā ʻae fanga pulu, mo e tuinga kakala, pea nau tokanga mo e kakai ke feilaulau.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ongo ʻaposetolo, ko Pānepasa mo Paula, naʻa na haehae hona kofu, pea na feleleʻi ki he kakai, mo na kalanga,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 ʻo pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata, ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Ko e ongo tangata pe ʻakimaua ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ma malanga kiate kimoutolu ke mou tafoki mei he ngaahi vaʻinga ni ki he ʻOtua moʻui, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, mo e tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai:
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 ʻAia naʻa ne tuku ke ʻeveʻeva ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi honau ngaahi hala, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kuo hili ange.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tuku ia taʻehaʻanefakamoʻoni, he naʻe fai lelei mai ʻe ia, ʻo tuku kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha mei he langi, mo e ngaahi taʻu mahu, ʻo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae meʻakai mo e fiefia.”
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Pea naʻe ʻikai te na meimei faʻa taʻofi ʻae kakai, ʻaki ʻae lea ni, ke ʻoua te nau feilaulau kiate kinaua.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Pea naʻe haʻu ki ai ʻae tuʻunga Siu mei ʻAniteoke mo ʻIkoniume, ʻonau fakalotokoviʻi ʻae kakai, pea hili ʻenau tolongaki ʻa Paula ʻaki ʻae maka, naʻe toho ia ki he tuʻa kolo, ʻonau mahalo kuo mate ia.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Kae lolotonga ʻae tuʻu takatakai ʻae kau ākonga ʻiate ia, naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo: pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻa na ō ai mo Pānepasa ki Teape.
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pea kuo na malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he kolo ko ia, mo na fakalotuʻi ʻae tokolahi, pea na liu mai ki Lisita, mo ʻIkoniume, mo ʻAniteoke,
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 ʻO na tokoniʻi ʻae loto ʻoe kau ākonga, pea akonaki ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, “Koeʻuhi kuo tonu ke tau hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he mamahi lahi.”
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 Pea kuo na fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he siasi kotoa pē ʻo fai ʻae lotu mo e ʻaukai, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo nau tui ki ai.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Pisitia, ʻi heʻena ʻalu, pea na hoko ki Pamifilia.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Pea hili ʻena malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi Peaka, pea na ō hifo ki ʻAtaleia.
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Pea folau mei ai ki ʻAniteoke, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa tuku atu ʻakinaua mei ai ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue kuo na fakaʻosi.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Pea kuo na hoko ange, ʻo fakakātoa ʻae siasi, pea na fakamatala ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kinaua, mo ʻene fakaava ʻae matapā ʻoe tui ki he ngaahi Senitaile.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Pea naʻa nau nonofo ai mo e kau ākonga ʻo fuoloa.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
