< Kau ʻAposetolo 16 >
1 Pea toki aʻu atu ia ki Teape mo Lisita: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ko Timote hono hingoa, ko e tama ʻae fefine Siu, naʻe tui ka ko ʻene tamai ko e Kiliki:
And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
2 Pea naʻe fakaongolelei ia ʻe he kāinga ʻi Lisita mo ʻIkoniume.
who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
3 Pea naʻe loto ʻa Paula ke na ō mo ia; pea ne ʻave ʻo kamu ia, koeʻuhi ko e kakai Siu naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu ko ia: he naʻa nau ʻilo kotoa pē ko ʻene tamai ko e Kiliki.
Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
4 Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi kolo, naʻa nau tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fono ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa ʻi Selūsalema, ke nau fai.
And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
5 Pea naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi siasi ʻi he tui, pea naʻe fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
6 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Filisia mo e fonua ko Kalētia ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ke ʻoua naʻa nau malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi ʻEsia,
and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Hili ʻenau aʻu ki Misia, naʻa nau fai kenau ō ki Pitinia: ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.
having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
8 Pea kuo tukuange ʻa Misia, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki Taloasi.
and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Pea naʻe hā mai ha meʻa kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli; naʻe tuʻu mai ʻae tangata Masitōnia, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ki Masitōnia, ʻo tokoni mai kiate kimautolu.”
And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
10 Pea hili ʻene mamata ki he meʻa hā mai, naʻa mau ʻahiʻahi ke ō leva ki Masitōnia, pea mau mātuʻaki ʻilo loto kuo ui ʻe he ʻEiki ke mau malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kinautolu.
And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
11 Pea kuo mau tuku folau mei Taloasi, pea mau lā taha ki Samotesia, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Neapoli;
having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
12 Pea mei ai ki Filipai, ʻaia ko e kolo lahi ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo Masitōnia, pea ko e kolo fakaLoma: pea naʻa mau nofo ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.
there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
13 Pea naʻa mau ʻalu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ki he tuaʻā kolo ki he veʻe vaitafe, ko e potu naʻe faʻa fai ai ʻae lotu; pea naʻa mau nonofo, ʻo lea ki he kau fefine naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai.
on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
14 Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae tokotaha, ko e fefine naʻe fakatau meʻa kulokula, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Litea, pea ko e faʻa lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, mei he kolo ko Taiataila; pea naʻe matala ʻe he ʻEiki hono loto, ke ne tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula.
and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
15 Pea kuo papitaiso ia, mo hono fale, pea ne kole, ʻo pehē mai, “Kapau ʻoku mou pehē moʻoni, ʻoku ou tui moʻoni ki he ʻEiki, mou haʻu ki hoku fale, ʻo nofo ai.” Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ʻakimautolu.
and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
16 Pea pehē, ʻi heʻemau ʻalu ange ki he lotu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu ha taʻahine kaunanga naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae laumālie kikite, pea naʻe lahi ʻae koloa naʻe maʻu ʻe heʻene kau matāpule ʻiate ia, ʻi heʻene kikite [loi];
And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
17 Ko ia ia naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo kimautolu, ʻo pehē ʻene kalanga, “Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata ni ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, pea ʻoku nau fakahā mai kiate kitautolu ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui.”
she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
18 Pea ʻaho lahi mo ʻene fai pehē pe. Pea kuo mamahi ai ʻa Paula, pea tafoki ia ki mui, ʻo ne pehē ki he laumālie, “ʻOku ou fekau kiate koe, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻiate ia.” Pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pē ko ia.
And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
19 Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe heʻene kau matāpule kuo ʻosi ai ʻenau maʻumeʻa, pea nau puke ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, ʻo toho ki he potu fakatau, ki he kau fakamaau,
And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
20 Pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he kau pule, mo nau pehē, “Ko e Siu ʻae ongo tangata ni, pea ʻoku na veuveuki lahi ʻetau kolo,
and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
21 ʻo na ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau tui ki ai, pe fai, he ko e kakai Loma ʻakitautolu.”
and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
22 Pea feʻohofi ʻae kakai kiate kinaua: pea naʻe haehae honau kofu ʻe he kau pule, mo fekau ke haha [ʻakinaua].
And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
23 Pea ʻosi ʻenau haha ʻo lahi ʻakinaua, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula, mo nau fekau ki he leʻo ke ne leʻohi maʻu ʻakinaua:
having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
24 Pea ʻi heʻene maʻu ʻae fekau ko ia, naʻa ne fakahū ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula ʻi loto, pea ne fakamaʻu hona vaʻe ki he ʻakau.
who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Pea ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie, naʻe lotu mo hiva fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kau pōpula kiate kinaua.
And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
26 Pea fakafokifā naʻe ai ʻae mofuike lahi, ʻaia naʻe ngaueue ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale fakapōpula: pea naʻe ava leva ʻae matapā kotoa pē, pea movete ʻae haʻi ʻonautolu taki taha kotoa pē.
and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
27 Pea ʻi he ʻā ʻae leʻo ʻoe fale fakapōpula mei heʻene mohe, pea ne mamata kuo ava ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, naʻa ne unuhi ʻae heletā ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia, he naʻa ne mahalo kuo feholaki ʻae kau pōpula.
and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
28 Ka naʻe kalanga ʻaki ʻe Paula ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke fai ha kovi kiate koe: he ʻoku mau kātoa ʻi heni.”
and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
29 Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe ia ke ʻomi ha maama, pea ʻoho ia ki loto, pea haʻu tetetete, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Paula mo Sailosi,
And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
30 ʻO ne ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, mo ne pehē, “Ongo ʻeiki, ko e hā te u fai ke u moʻui ai?”
and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
31 Pea naʻa na pehē, “Tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea te ke moʻui, mo ho fale.”
And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
32 Pea ne na leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻi hono fale.
And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
33 Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinaua, ʻo fufulu hona lavea ʻi he feituʻupō pe ko ia; pea naʻe papitaiso ia, pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
34 Pea kuo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki hono fale, pea ne tuku ʻae meʻakai kiate kinaua, pea fiefia ia, mo ne tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia mo hono fale kotoa pē.
having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
35 Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe fekau ʻe he kau pule ʻae kau tangata fekau, ke nau pehē, “Tuku ke ō ʻae ongo tangata na.”
And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
36 Pea tala atu ia ʻe he leʻo ʻoe fale fakapōpula kia Paula, “Kuo fekau mai ʻe he kau pule ke tukuange ʻakimoua pea ko ia ke mo ō, pea ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
37 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula kiate kinautolu, “Ko e ongo Loma ʻakimaua, pea kuo nau haha fakahā mo taʻefakamaau ʻakimaua, mo lī ki he fale fakapōpula: pea ʻoku nau kapusi fakafufū eni ʻakimaua? ʻE ʻikai; kae haʻu pē ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻave ʻakimaua kituʻa.”
and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
38 Pea naʻe tala ʻe he kau tangata fekau ʻae lea ni ki he kau pule: pea naʻa nau manavahē ʻi heʻenau fanongo ko e ongo Loma ʻakinaua.
And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
39 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo kole kiate kinaua, mo ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, pea kole ke na ō ʻi he kolo.
and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
40 Pea naʻa na omi mei he fale fakapōpula, ʻo na ō kia Litea: pea hili ʻenau feʻiloaki mo e kāinga, mo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa na fononga atu.
and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
