Kau ʻAposetolo 14

1 Pea naʻe pehē ʻi ʻIkoniume, naʻa na ō fakataha ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻena lea, naʻe tui ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻi he Siu mo e Senitaile.

The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.

2 Ka ko e kau Siu taʻetui, naʻa nau ueʻi kovi ʻae kakai Senitaile, ʻo fakakoviʻi honau loto ki he kāinga.

But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.

3 Ka naʻe nofo fuoloa ai ʻakinaua, ʻo na lea mālohi ʻi he ʻEiki, pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he folofola ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻo ne tuku ke fai ʻe hona nima ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo.

Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.

4 Ka naʻe vaeua ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo: naʻe kau ʻae niʻihi ki he kakai Siu, ka ko e niʻihi ki he ongo ʻaposetolo.

But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;

5 Pea fai ke feʻohofi ʻae Senitaile, mo e Siu mo honau ngaahi pule, ke ngaohikoviʻi mo tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinaua.

and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,

6 Pea naʻa na ʻilo ki ai, pea na hola ki Lisita mo Teape, ko e ongo kolo ʻo Likonia, pea ki he ngaahi potu naʻe vāofi:

the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,

7 Pea naʻa na malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei.

and there they continued to tell the good news.

8 Pea naʻe nofo ʻi Lisita ʻae tangata ʻe taha, naʻe veʻe mate, ko e pipiki ia mei he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē, kuo teʻeki ʻaupito ke ʻeveʻeva:

In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.

9 Pea naʻe fanongo ia ki he lea ʻa Paula: ʻaia naʻe sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia, pea ne ʻilo kuo maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tui ke moʻui ai,

This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,

10 Pea ne leaʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Tuʻu totonu hake ʻi ho vaʻe.” Pea naʻe hopohopo ia, ʻo ʻeveʻeva.

said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,

11 Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Paula, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻi he lea fakaLikonia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo maliu hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kiate kitautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe tangata.”

and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”

12 Pea naʻa nau ui ʻa Pānepasa, ko Supita; kae [ui ]ʻa Paula, ko Mekulio, koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻe faʻa malanga.

So they called Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ and Paul ‘Hermes,’ because he took the lead in speaking;

13 Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Supita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi honau veʻe kolo, ne ʻomi ʻe ia ki he matapā ʻae fanga pulu, mo e tuinga kakala, pea nau tokanga mo e kakai ke feilaulau.

and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.

14 Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ongo ʻaposetolo, ko Pānepasa mo Paula, naʻa na haehae hona kofu, pea na feleleʻi ki he kakai, mo na kalanga,

But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. “Friends, why are you doing this?” they shouted.

15 ‌ʻo pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata, ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Ko e ongo tangata pe ʻakimaua ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ma malanga kiate kimoutolu ke mou tafoki mei he ngaahi vaʻinga ni ki he ʻOtua moʻui, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, mo e tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai:

“We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.

16 ‌ʻAia naʻa ne tuku ke ʻeveʻeva ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi honau ngaahi hala, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kuo hili ange.

In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.

17 Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tuku ia taʻehaʻanefakamoʻoni, he naʻe fai lelei mai ʻe ia, ʻo tuku kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha mei he langi, mo e ngaahi taʻu mahu, ʻo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae meʻakai mo e fiefia.”

Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”

18 Pea naʻe ʻikai te na meimei faʻa taʻofi ʻae kakai, ʻaki ʻae lea ni, ke ʻoua te nau feilaulau kiate kinaua.

Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.

19 Pea naʻe haʻu ki ai ʻae tuʻunga Siu mei ʻAniteoke mo ʻIkoniume, ʻonau fakalotokoviʻi ʻae kakai, pea hili ʻenau tolongaki ʻa Paula ʻaki ʻae maka, naʻe toho ia ki he tuʻa kolo, ʻonau mahalo kuo mate ia.

Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.

20 Kae lolotonga ʻae tuʻu takatakai ʻae kau ākonga ʻiate ia, naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo: pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻa na ō ai mo Pānepasa ki Teape.

But, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 Pea kuo na malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he kolo ko ia, mo na fakalotuʻi ʻae tokolahi, pea na liu mai ki Lisita, mo ʻIkoniume, mo ʻAniteoke,

After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

22 ‌ʻO na tokoniʻi ʻae loto ʻoe kau ākonga, pea akonaki ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, “Koeʻuhi kuo tonu ke tau hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he mamahi lahi.”

reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.

23 Pea kuo na fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he siasi kotoa pē ʻo fai ʻae lotu mo e ʻaukai, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo nau tui ki ai.

They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.

24 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Pisitia, ʻi heʻena ʻalu, pea na hoko ki Pamifilia.

Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,

25 Pea hili ʻena malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi Peaka, pea na ō hifo ki ʻAtaleia.

and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.

26 Pea folau mei ai ki ʻAniteoke, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa tuku atu ʻakinaua mei ai ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue kuo na fakaʻosi.

From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.

27 Pea kuo na hoko ange, ʻo fakakātoa ʻae siasi, pea na fakamatala ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kinaua, mo ʻene fakaava ʻae matapā ʻoe tui ki he ngaahi Senitaile.

After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;

28 Pea naʻa nau nonofo ai mo e kau ākonga ʻo fuoloa.

and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
