Kau ʻAposetolo 18

1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula ʻi ʻAtenisi, pea aʻu atu ki Kolinitō;

After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 Pea naʻa ne ʻilo [ʻi ai ]ha Siu naʻe hingoa ko ʻAkuila, naʻe fanauʻi ʻi Ponito, kuo toki haʻu mei ʻItali, mo hono uaifi ko Pisila; (he naʻe fekau ʻe Kalotiusi ke ʻalu ʻi Loma ʻae kakai Siu kotoa pē: ) pea ne ʻalu ia kiate kinaua.

and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome, he went to them;

3 Pea koeʻuhi naʻa nau faiva taha, ko ia naʻa ne nofo mo kinaua, ʻo ngāue: he ko ʻenau faiva ko e ngaohi fale fehikitaki.

and because he was of the same trade, he made his home with them, and worked: for by trade they were tent-makers.

4 Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, pea ne fakatafoki ʻae Siu mo e Kiliki.

But on every sabbath, he reasoned in the synagogue, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 Pea kuo haʻu ʻa Sailosi mo Timote mei Masitōnia, pea māfasia ʻa Paula ʻi hono loto, pea fakapapau atu ʻe ia ki he kakai Siu ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu.

And when Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was roused in spirit, and earnestly testified to the Jews, that the Christ was Jesus.

6 Pea ʻi heʻenau fakatanga, mo lea kovi, naʻa ne tupeʻi hono kofu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke ʻi homou ʻulu pē ʻa homou toto; ʻoku ou maʻa au: ngata mei heni, te u ʻalu ki he Senitaile.”

But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his clothing, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own head; I am clean. Henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

7 Pea ne ne ʻalu mei ai, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo ha tangata, naʻe hingoa ko Susitasa, naʻe lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe vāofi hono fale mo e falelotu.

And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worshiped God, and whose house joined the synagogue.

8 Pea naʻe tui ki he ʻEiki ʻa Kalisipo, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo hono fale kotoa pē; pea naʻe fanongo mo tui ʻae kakai Kolinitō tokolahi, pea naʻe papitaiso ʻakinautolu.

But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were immersed.

9 Pea folofola ai ʻae ʻEiki kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ka ke lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;

And the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision in the night: Fear not; but speak, and be not silent;

10 He ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa fai ha kovi kiate koe; he ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he kolo ni.”

for I am with you, and no one shall make an assault upon you, to injure you; for I have many people in this city.

11 Pea naʻa ne nofo ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha pea mo e māhina ʻe ono, ʻo ne ako ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.

And he remained there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them

12 Ka ʻi he pule ʻa Kalio ʻi ʻAkeia, naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau feʻohofi kia Paula, pea taki ia ki he potu fakamaau,

But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one mind, suddenly came upon Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,

13 Mo nau pehē, “ʻOku ako ʻe he siana ni ke lotu ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai hangē ko e fono.”

saying: This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 Pea kuo fai ʻe Paula ke ne lea, pea pehē ʻe Kalio ki he kakai Siu, “ʻAe kakai Siu, ka ne ko ha meʻa taʻetotonu pe pauʻu kuo fai, pehē ʻe taau mo au ke u tokanga kiate kimoutolu:

But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were a matter of injustice, or of wicked mischief, O Jews, I would, with reason, bear with you:

15 Pea kapau ko e fakakikihi ʻi he lea mo e hingoa, mo hoʻomou fono pē, mou tokanga ʻakimoutolu ki ai; ʻe ʻikai te u fakamaau ʻeau ʻae meʻa pehē.”

but if it is a question about a word, and names, and your law, see to it yourselves: for I will not be a judge of these tilings.

16 Pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he potu fakamaau.

And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

17 Pea naʻe toki puke ʻe he Kiliki kotoa pē ʻa Sositine, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo nau tautea ia ʻi he potu fakamaau. Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Kalio ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

And all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

18 Pea naʻe kei nofo ai ʻa Paula ʻo fuoloa, pea toki māvae ia mo e kāinga, ʻo ne folau mei ai ki Silia, pea naʻe ō mo ia ʻa Pisila mo ʻAkuila; kuo tomuʻa fafai hono ʻulu ʻi Senikelea: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fuakava.

And Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

19 Pea naʻa ne aʻu atu ki ʻEfesō, pea ne tuku ai ʻakinaua: pea ʻalu ia ki he falelotu, ʻo malanga ki he kakai Siu.

And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20 Pea ʻi heʻenau kole ke nau nonofo ʻo fuoloa siʻi, naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai;

And though they besought him to remain with them a longer time, he did not consent,

21 Ka naʻe lea māvae ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mātuʻaki totonu ʻeku ʻalu ki he kātoanga ʻoku ʻamanaki ni ʻi Selūsalema: ka te u toe haʻu kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe lelei ki he ʻOtua.” Pea naʻe folau ia mei ʻEfesō.

but took leave of them, saying: I must, by all means, keep this coming feast in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God be willing. And he sailed from Ephesus,

22 Pea kuo tūʻuta ia ki Sesalia, pea ʻalu hake ia, ʻonau feʻofoʻofani mo e siasi, pea ʻalu hifo ia ki ʻAniteoke.

and having landed at Cæsarea, and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

23 Pea kuo fuoloa ange ʻene nofo ai, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo fononga ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kalētia mo Filisia, ʻo tokoni ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē.

And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Pea naʻe haʻu ki ʻEfesō ʻae Siu ʻe tokotaha naʻe hingoa ko ʻApolosi, naʻe fanauʻi ia ʻi ʻAlekisānitia, ko e tangata lea mālie ia, pea poto lahi ʻi he ngaahi tohi.

And a certain Jew, named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 Pea kuo akonekina ʻae tangata ni ʻi he hala ʻoe ʻEiki; pea ʻi heʻene loto fai velenga, naʻa ne lea mo ako lahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻEiki, ka kuo ʻilo pe ʻe ia ʻae papitaiso ʻa Sione.

He was instructed in the way of the Lord; and, being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, knowing only the immersion of John.

26 Pea naʻe kamata lea mālohi ia ʻi he falelotu: pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pisila, naʻa na maʻu ia, ʻo na fakamatala kiate ia ʻo lahi ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him, and taught him the way of God more accurately.

27 Pea kuo loto ia ke ʻalu ki ʻAkeia, naʻe tohi ʻe he kāinga, ʻo enginaki ki he kau ākonga ke nau maʻu ia: pea kuo aʻu atu ia ki ai, pea ne tokoni lahi ʻakinautolu kuo nau tui ʻi he ʻaloʻofa:

And when he wished to pass into Achaia, the brethren, exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receive him. And when he had come, he gave much help to the believers, through the grace conferred on him.

28 He naʻe fakakikihi mālohi ia mo e kakai Siu, ʻi he fakahā, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni mei he ngaahi tohi ko Sisu ko e Kalaisi.

For, with great strength, he utterly confounded the Jews publicly, showing, by the Scriptures, that the Christ was Jesus.
