Kau ʻAposetolo 9
1 Pea naʻe kei mānava ʻaki ʻe Saula ʻae lea fakamanavahē mo e fakapō ki he kau ākonga ʻae ʻEiki, pea ʻalu ia ki he taulaʻeiki lahi,
But Shaul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 ʻO kole mei ai ʻae tohi ki he ngaahi falelotu ʻi Tamasikusi, koeʻuhi ka ʻilo ʻe ia ha niʻihi, ʻae tangata pe ko e fefine, ʻi he hala ko eni, ke ne ʻomi haʻisia ʻakinautolu ki Selūsalema.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Urishlim.
3 Pea ʻi heʻene fononga, kuo ofi ki Tamasikusi: pea fakafokifā naʻe malama takatakai ʻiate ia ʻae maama mei he langi:
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 Pea tō ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne fanongo ki he leʻo naʻe pehē mai kiate ia, “ʻE Saula, ʻe Saula, ko e hā ʻoku ke fakatanga ai au?”
And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Shaul, Shaul, why do you persecute me?"
5 Pea ne pehē, “ʻEiki ko hai koe?” Pea pehē mai ʻe he ʻEiki, “Ko au Sisu ʻoku ke fakatangaʻi: ko e meʻa faingataʻa hoʻo ʻakahi ʻae meʻa māsila.
And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
6 Pea tetetete ia mo ofo lahi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻEiki, ko ho finangalo ke u fai ʻae hā?” Pea [pehē ]ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, “Tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo, pea ʻe fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku totonu te ke fai.”
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 Pea naʻe tuʻu taʻefaʻalea ʻae kau tangata naʻe fononga mo ia, ʻonau fanongo pe ki he leʻo, kae ʻikai sio ki ha taha.
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 Pea tuʻu hake ʻa Saula mei he kelekele; pea ʻi he ʻā ʻa hono mata, kuo ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ha meʻa: ka naʻa nau taki nima ia, ʻo ʻomi ki Tamasikusi.
Shaul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Pea naʻe kui ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke kai pe inu.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Pea naʻe ʻi Tamasikusi ʻae ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa; pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, [ʻo ne pehē], “ʻAnanaia.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, ko au, ʻEiki.”
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Khananya. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Khananya." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
11 Pea [pehē ]ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia, “Tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu ki he hala ʻoku ui ko e Totonu, pea ke fehuʻi ʻi he fale ʻo Siutasi kiate ia ʻoku ui ko Saula, mei Tasusi: pea vakai, he ʻoku lotu ia:
The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Yehudah for one named Shaul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
12 He kuo ne mamata ʻi he meʻa hā mai ki he tangata ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa, ʻoku ʻalu ange mo hilifaki hono nima kiate ia, koeʻuhi ke ʻā hono mata.”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Khananya coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
13 Pea toki pehē ʻe ʻAnanaia, “ʻEiki, kuo u fanongo ʻi he tokolahi, ki he kovi lahi kuo fai ʻe he tangata ni ki ho kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi Selūsalema:
But Khananya answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Urishlim.
14 Pea mo ʻene maʻu ʻi heni ʻae fekau mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi, ke haʻi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ui ki he huafa.”
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
15 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate ia, “ʻAlu koe: he ko e meʻa ngāue ia kuo fili maʻaku, ke fakahā hoku huafa ki he ngaahi Senitaile, mo e ngaahi tuʻi pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli:
But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the people of Israyel.
16 He te u fakahā kiate ia ʻae meʻa lahi ʻe mamahi ai ia koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa.”
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
17 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻAnanaia, ʻo hū ki he fale; pea ne hilifaki hono nima kiate ia, mo ne pehē, “ʻE kāinga Saula, ko e ʻEiki ko Sisu, ʻaia naʻe hā mai kiate koe ʻi he hala naʻa ke haʻu ai, kuo ne fekau au koeʻuhi ke ʻā ho mata, pea ke fakapitoʻaki koe ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
Khananya departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Shaul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha."
18 Pea fetoki fakafokifā mei hono mata [ʻae meʻa ʻo ]hangē ko e ʻunoʻi ika: pea ʻā leva ia, pea tuʻu, ʻo papitaiso.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Pea hili ʻene kai naʻa ne mālohi. Pea naʻe nonofo ʻa Saula mo e kau ākonga ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi.
He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Pea kamata leva ʻe ia ke malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he ngaahi falelotu.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
21 Ka naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo, mo nau pehē; “ʻIkai ko eni ia naʻe fakapoongi ʻakinautolu naʻe ui ki he hingoa ni ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻe haʻu foki ki heni ke ne ʻave haʻisia ʻakinautolu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi?”
All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Urishlim made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
22 Ka naʻe tupulaki ʻae mālohi ʻia Saula, pea naʻa ne fakatāfuʻua ʻae kakai Siu naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ko e Kalaisi eni.
But Shaul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Meshikha.
23 Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, naʻe fakakaukau ʻae kakai Siu ke tāmateʻi ia:
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ʻenau toitoiʻi ia. Pea naʻa nau leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ke tāmateʻi ia.
but their plot became known to Shaul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 Pea naʻe toki ʻave poʻuli ia ʻe he kau ākonga, ʻo tukutuku hifo ʻi he kato mei he ʻā.
but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Saula ki Selūsalema, naʻe fie ului ia ki he kau ākonga: ka naʻe manavahē kotoa pē kiate ia, he naʻe ʻikai te nau tui ko e ākonga ia.
When Shaul had come to Urishlim, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Ka naʻe toʻo ia ʻe Pānepasa ʻo ʻomi ki he kau ʻaposetolo, pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻene mamata ki he ʻEiki ʻi he hala, mo ʻene folofola kiate ia, pea mo ʻene malanga mālohi ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu.
But Bar-Naba took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
28 Pea naʻe nofo ia pea felemofafo mo kinautolu ʻi Selūsalema.
He was with them coming in and going out in Urishlim, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 Pea naʻe lea mālohi ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo ne fakakikihi mo e kau ʻElinisitō: ka naʻa nau kumi ke tāmateʻi ia.
He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Pea ʻi he ʻilo eni ʻe he kāinga, naʻa nau ʻohifo ia ki Sesalia, pea nau fekau ia [ke ʻalu ]ki Tasusi.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Qesarya, and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻae fiemālie ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻi Siutea kotoa pē mo Kaleli mo Samēlia, pea naʻe langa hake ʻakinautolu; pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻEiki, mo e fiemālie ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea tupu ʻo tokolahi.
So the church throughout all Yehuda and Galila and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Rukha d'Qudsha.
32 Pea ko eni, ʻi he ʻalu fano pe ʻa Pita ʻi he ngaahi potu, naʻe hoko hifo foki ia ki he kau lotu naʻe nofo ʻi Lita.
It happened, as Kipha went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lud.
33 Pea naʻa ne ʻilo ʻi ai ha tangata ko Enia hono hingoa, pea kuo valu taʻu ʻene tokoto ʻi hono mohenga, pea naʻe moʻua ia ʻi he mahaki tete.
There he found a certain man named Aniyas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
34 Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Enia, ʻoku fakamoʻui koe ʻe Sisu Kalaisi: tuʻu, ʻo tākai ho mohenga.” Pea tuʻu leva ia.
Kipha said to him, "Aniyas, Yeshua Meshikha heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
35 Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia pea tafoki ki he ʻEiki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi Lita mo Seloni.
All who lived at Lud and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Pea naʻe ʻi Sopa ʻae ākonga ʻe taha naʻe hingoa ko Tapaita, ko e hingoa tatau ia mo Toakasi: pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe he fefine ni ʻae ngaahi ngāue lelei mo e faʻa foaki.
Now there was at Yupi a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 Pea ko eni, naʻe tuia hono mahaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea pekia: pea kuo nau tatafi ia, naʻa nau fakatokoto [ia ]ʻi he potu fale ʻi ʻolunga.
It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Pea naʻe vāofi ʻa Lita mo Sopa, pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau ākonga ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Pita, naʻa nau fekau ʻae ongo tangata, ʻo kole kiate ia ke “ʻOua naʻa tuai ʻene haʻu kiate kinautolu.”
As Lud was near Yupi, the disciples, hearing that Kipha was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
39 Pea tuʻu ʻa Pita, ʻo ʻalu mo kinaua. Pea kuo hoko atu ia, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki he potu fale ʻi ʻolunga: pea naʻe tutuʻu mo tangi ʻo ofi kiate ia ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi kofutuʻa mo e kofu kehekehe naʻe ngaohi ʻe Toakasi, ʻi heʻene kei ʻiate kinautolu.
Kipha got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Ka kuo tuku atu ʻe Pita ʻakinautolu kotoa pē kituʻa, pea tuʻulutui ia, ʻo lotu; pea hanga ia ki he sino mo ne pehē, “Tapaita, tuʻu hake.” Pea ne ʻā hake hono mata: pea ʻi heʻene mamata kia Pita, naʻa ne nofo hake.
Kipha put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Kipha, she sat up.
41 Pea ne mafao hono nima kiate ia, [ʻo ]fokotuʻu hake ia, pea kuo ne ui ʻae kau lotu mo e kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, naʻa ne ʻatu ia kuo moʻui.
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Pea naʻe ongoongoa ia ʻi Sopa kotoa pē; pea tui ʻae tokolahi ki he ʻEiki.
And it became known throughout all Yupi, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Pea ko ia, naʻe nofo ai ia, ʻo ʻaho lahi, ʻi Sopa, mo e tokotaha ko Saimone ko e tufunga ngaohi kiliʻi manu.
It happened, that he stayed many days in Yupi with one Shimon, a tanner.
