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:

Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold there was a certain disciple there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father.

2 Pea naʻe fakaongolelei ia ʻe he kāinga ʻi Lisita mo ʻIkoniume.

Who was well spoken of by the brethren at 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.

wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father 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 passed through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been made by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

5 Pea naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi siasi ʻi he tui, pea naʻe fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

And so the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

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 when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, they came to Mysia, and endeavoured to go to Bithynia:

7 Hili ʻenau aʻu ki Misia, naʻa nau fai kenau ō ki Pitinia: ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.

but the Spirit suffered them not.

8 Pea kuo tukuange ʻa Misia, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki Taloasi.

So they passed by Mysia, and 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 Paul saw a vision in the night, There stood a certain man of Macedonia, intreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and 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 as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to depart into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to preach the gospel 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;

Therefore we set sail from Troas, and came in a direct course to Samothracia, and the day following 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.

and from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. And we staid some time in this city.

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.

And on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to a river-side, where there used to be prayer: and we sat down and preached to the women that resorted thither.

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 named Lydia, a purple-seller of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were 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 baptized and her family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge there. 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];

Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, who brought her masters much gain 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 following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who shew 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 did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

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 he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.

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 when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,

21 ‌ʻo na ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau tui ki ai, pe fai, he ko e kakai Loma ʻakitautolu.”

which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are Romans.

22 Pea feʻohofi ʻae kakai kiate kinaua: pea naʻe haehae honau kofu ʻe he kau pule, mo fekau ke haha [ʻakinaua].

And the populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged.

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:

And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging 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, thrust 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.

Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the prisoners heard 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 on a sudden there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bonds 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.

The jailor waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword and was going to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners were 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.”

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no 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,

Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor fell down before Paul and Silas:

30 ‌ʻO ne ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, mo ne pehē, “Ongo ʻeiki, ko e hā te u fai ke u moʻui ai?”

and bringing them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to 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 thou shalt be saved, and thine house.

32 Pea ne na leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻi hono fale.

And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.

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 he took them at that very time of the night, and bathed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his immediately after.

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.

And he brought them into his house, and spread a table for them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his household.

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 when it was the day the governors sent the serjeants, 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, saying, the governors have sent orders, that you should be discharged; now therefore depart, and go 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.”

But Paul said unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out.

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 serjeants reported these words to the governors: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

39 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo kole kiate kinaua, mo ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, pea kole ke na ō ʻi he kolo.

And they came and intreated them, and when they had brought them out, they desired them to leave 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 when they were come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia: and seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
