Acts 11

1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

Pea fanongo ʻae kau ʻaposetolo mo e kāinga naʻe ʻi Siutea, kuo maʻu ʻe he kakai Senitaile foki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.

2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

Pea kuo hoko ʻa Pita ki Selūsalema, pea kikihi mo ia ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he kamu,

3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

“ʻo nau pehē, naʻa ke ʻalu ki he kau tangata taʻekamu, ʻo keinanga mo kinautolu.”

4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

Pea fakahā ʻe Pita mei hono tupuʻanga, ʻo fakamatala hokohoko kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,

5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

“Naʻaku ʻi he kolo ko Sopa, ʻo fai ʻeku lotu; pea ʻi he ʻāvea hoku loto ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, Ko e meʻa ʻo hangē ha fuʻu tupenu, naʻe tukutuku hifo mei he langi, kuo fakakaveʻi hono kapa ʻe fā; pea aʻu hifo ia kiate au:

6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

Pea kuo u fakamamaʻu hoku mata ki ai, ʻo tokanga, peau mamata ki he manu veʻe fā ʻoe fonua, mo e manu fekai, mo e manu totolo, mo e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.

7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘Tuʻu, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi ʻo kai.’

8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

Pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito: he ʻoku teʻeki ai ke kai ʻe hoku ngutu ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua pe taʻemaʻa.’

9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

Ka naʻe pehē mai ʻe he leʻo mei he langi kiate au ko hono tuʻo ua, ‘Ko ia kuo fakamaʻa ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke pehē ʻoku ʻikai ngofua.’

10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo tuʻo tolu: pea toe fusi hake kotoa pē ki he langi.

11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

Pea vakai, kuo haʻu fakafokifā ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ki he fale ʻoku ou ʻi ai, kuo fekau mai kiate au mei Sesalia.

12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he Laumālie ke u ʻalu mo kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻaku manavahē. Pea naʻa mau ō mo au ʻae kāinga ʻe toko ono ni, pea mau hū ki he fale ʻoe tangata:

13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

‘Pea ne fakahā ʻe ia kiate kimautolu kuo ne mamata ia ki ha ʻāngelo ʻi hono fale, naʻe tuʻu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, Ke ke fekau ki Sopa ha kau tangata ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita;

14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻe moʻui ai koe mo ho fale kotoa pē.

15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

Pea ʻi heʻeku kamata lea, naʻe tō hifo kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē kiate kitautolu ʻi he kamataʻanga.

16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

Peau toki manatu ki he folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ʻi heʻene pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni naʻe papitaiso ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’

17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

Pea koeʻuhi kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae foaki, ʻo hangē ko kitautolu, naʻe tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi; pea ko hai au, ke u faʻa taʻofia ʻae ʻOtua?”

18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

Pea kuo nau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau fakalongo pe, ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “Ta kuo tuku foki ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi Senitaile ʻae fakatomala ki he moʻui.”

19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakamovetevete ʻi he fakatanga naʻe tupu ia Setiveni, naʻa nau fononga atu ʻo aʻu ki Finesi, mo Saipalo, mo ʻAniteoke, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ka ki he kakai Siu pe.

20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

Pea ko honau niʻihi ko e kau tangata mei Saipalo mo Sailine, pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki ʻAniteoke, naʻa nau lea ki he kau ʻElinisitō, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu.

21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki: pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi, mo tafoki ki he ʻEiki.

22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

Pea kuo ongo mai ʻae meʻa ni ki he siasi ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa nau fekau atu ʻa Pānepasa, ke ʻalu ia ʻo aʻu ki ʻAniteoke.

23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

Pea kuo hoko atu ia, ʻo mamata ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fiefia ia, mo ne ako kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, ke nau pikitai ki he ʻEiki ʻi he loto maʻu.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

He ko e tangata lelei ia, pea fonu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e tui: pea naʻe ului ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tokolahi.

25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

Pea toki ʻalu ʻa Pānepasa ki Tasusi, ʻo kumi kia Saula:

26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Pea kuo ne ʻilo ia, naʻa ne ʻomi ia ki ʻAniteoke. Pea naʻa na faʻa fakataha mo e siasi ʻi he taʻu kotoa, ʻo ako ki he kakai tokolahi. Pea naʻe tomuʻa ui ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae kau ākonga ko e Kalisitiane.

27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau palōfita, mei Selūsalema, ki ʻAniteoke.

28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake honau tokotaha ko ʻAkapusi hono hingoa, ʻo ne kikite ʻi he Laumālie, ʻe tō ha honge lahi ki māmani kotoa pē: ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kalotiusi Sisa.

29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

Pea loto ʻae kau ākonga ke taki taha foaki, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene maʻumeʻa, ke ʻatu ko e tokoni ki he kāinga ʻoku nofo ʻi Siutea:

30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

Pea naʻa nau fai ia, pea ʻave ia ki he mātuʻa ʻi he nima ʻo Pānepasa mo Saula.
