Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
E AE mai ana no o Saulo i kona make. Ia la, hoomaau nui ia mai la ka ekalesia ma Ierusalema; hoopuehuia'ku la lakou a pau ma na aina o Iudea, a ma Samaria; koe no nae na lunaolelo.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Hoolewa aku la kekahi poe kanaka haipule ia Setepano, a kanikau loa lakou ia ia.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Luku ae la o Saulo i ka ekalesia, komo aku no ia i na hale, a kano mai i na kane a me na wahine, a hahao ae la ia lakou iloko o ka halepaabao.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
No ia mea, kaahele ae la ka poe i hoopuehuia, e hai aku ana i ka euanelio.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
A iho ae la o Pilipo i ke kulanakauhale o Samaria, a hai aku la ia Kristo ia lakou.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Malama lokahi na lehulehu i na mea a Pilipo i olelo mai ai, me ka hoolohe, a me ka nana aku i na hoailona ana i hana'i.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
No ka mea, ua nui loa ka poe uhane haukae i walaau aku me ka leo nui, puka mai la lakou mawaho o ka poe i uluhia'i; a nui loa ka poe lolo a me ka poe oopa i hoolaia mai.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Nui loa iho la ka olioli ma kela kulanakauhale.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Malaila no kekahi kanaka, o Simona ka inoa, he kilo no ia mamua mai ma ia kulanakauhale, a pilihua ka lahuikanaka o Samaria ia ia, i kana olelo ana, o kekahi mea nui ia.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
A malama mai la lakou a pau ia ia, mai ka poe unku mai, a ka poe nui, i ae la, Oia nei no ka mana nui o ke Akua.
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Malama no lakou i kana, no ka mea, loihi ka manawa i hoopilihua ai oia ia lakou i ke kilokilo ana.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
A i ko lakou manaoio ana ia Pilipo, i kana hai ana mai i ka euanelio no ke aupuni o ke Akua, a me ka inoa o Iesu Kristo, bapetizoia iho la lakou, na kane a me na wahine.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
O Simona no hoi kahi i manaoio aku; a bapetizoia iho la no hoi ia, a e hoomau ana me Pilipo, e ike iho la ia i na mea mana, a me na hoailona nui i hanaia, pilihua iho la ia.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
A lohe ka poe lunaolelo ma Ierusalema, ua loaa i ko Samaria ka olelo a ke Akua, hoouna ae la lakou ia Petero a me Ioane io lakou la.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Iho ae la laua, pule aku la laua no lakou, i loaa ia lakou ka Uhane Hemolele.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
No ka mea, ia manawa, aole ia i haule mai maluna o kekahi o lakou: ua bapetizo wale ia no lakou iloko o ka inoa o ka Haku, o Iesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Alaila, kau iho la laua i na lima maluna iho o lakou, a loaa iho la ia lakou ka Uhane Hemolele.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
A ike iho la o Simona ua haawiia mai ka Uhane Hemolele ma ke kau ana o na lima o na lunaolelo, haawi aku la oia ia lana i kauwahi kala,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
I aku la, E haawi mai olua i keia mana na'u, i loaa ai ka Uhane Hemolele i ka mea a'u e kau ai i na lima maluna iho.
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
I mai la o Petero ia ia, E lilo pu kau kala me oe i ka make, no kou manao e loaa mai ka makana o ke Akua ma ke kala.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Aole ou wahi kuleana, aole ou wahi lihi iki ma keia olelo; no ka mea, aole i pololei kou naau imua i ke alo o ke Akua.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Nolaila, e mihi oe i keia hewa ou, a e nonoi aku i ke Akua, ina paha e kalaia mai nou ka manao o kon naau.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
No ka mea, ua ike au, aia no oe maloko o ke au awaawa, a me ka mea paa o ka hewa.
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Olelo aku la o Simona, i aku la, E pule aku olua i ka Haku no'u i hiki ole mai ai keia mau mea a olua e olelo mai nei maluna o'u.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Nolaila, a hoike laua me ka hai mai i ka olelo a ka Haku, hoi mai la laua i Ierusalema, e hai ana i ka euanelio i na kauhale he nui loa o ka poe Samaria.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
A olelo mai la ka anela o ka Haku ia Pilipo, i mai la, E ku oe, a e hele ma ke kukuluhema, ma ke ala e iho aku ai, mai Ierusalema a Gaza, he waonahele no hoi ia.
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Ku ae la ia a hele; aia hoi, he kanaka no Aitiopa, he luna nui na Kanedake, ke aliiwahine o Aitiopa, oia no maluna o kona waiwai a pau, a ua hele mai no hoi ia i Ierusalema e hoomana;
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
E hoi aku ana ia e noho ana maloko o kona halekaa, a e heluhelu ana i ka ke kaula Isaia.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Olelo mai la ka Uhane ia Pilipo, E hele oe, e hoopili aku ia halekaa.
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Holo ae la o Pilipo, a lohe iho la i kana heluhelu ana i ka ke kaula Isaia, i ae la ia, Ua ike anei oe i ka mea au e heluhelu nei?
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
I aku la kela, Pehea la e hiki ai ia'u, ke ao ole mai kekahi ia'u? Nonoi aku la oia ia Pilipo e pii ae, a e noho pu me ia.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
Eia kahi o ka palapala ana i heluhelu ai, Ua alakaiia'ku la ia me he hipa la i ka make; a e like hoi me ka hipakeiki i pane ole imua o ka mea nana e ako, pela no ia, aole i ekemu kona waha.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
I kona hoohaahaa ana, ua kailiia'ku la kona hoaponoia; nawai la hoi e hai mai i kona hanauna? no ka mea, ua laweia'ku no kona oia, mai ka honua aku.
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Olelo aku la ua luna la, i aku la ia Pilipo, Ke uinau aku nei au ia oe, i olelo mai ke kaula i keia mea nowai, nona iho anei, no kekahi mea e paha?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Alaila, oaka ae la o Pilipo i kona waha, a ma ua palapala la kana hoomaka ana e hai mai ai ia ia, ia Iesu.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
A i ko laua hele ana ma ke ala loa, hiki aku la laua ma kahi wai: Olelo ae ua luna la, Aia, he wai, heaha ka mea e keakea mai ia'u e bapetizoia'i?
I ae la o Pilipo, Ina i manaoio oe me ka naau a pau, ia a ua pono. I mai la kela, Ke manaoio nei au o Iesu Kristo, oia ke Keiki a ke Akua.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
A kena aku la ia, E ku malie ke kaa. Iho pu iho la laua i ka wai, o Pilipo a me ua luna la, a bapetizo ae la oia ia ia.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
A pii ae la laua, mai ka wai mai, kaili aku la ka Uhane o ka Haku ia Pilipo, aole ike hou ae ua luna la ia ia. Hoi aku no ia ma kona ala me ka olioli.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Ikea ae la o Pilipo ma Azoto. I kona hele ana, hai ae la ia i ka euanelio ma na kulanakauhale a pau, a hiki aku la i Kaisareia.
