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.

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude of the Jews and Greeks believed.

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

But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.

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, they continued a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, by granting signs and wonders to be done by 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 multitude of the city were divided; and some were with the Jews, and 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.

But when there was a violent purpose on the part of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to outrage 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:

being aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,

7 Pea naʻa na malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei.

and there they preached the gospel.

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:

And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother’s womb, 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 heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

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

said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.

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.”

When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and said, in the Lycaonian language: The Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

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

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was the chief speaker.

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.

Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the entrance, intended to offer sacrifice, with the multitudes.

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 rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,

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:

and saying: Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings, with passions like your own, and we preach the gospel to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are 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.

who, in past generations, permitted all the nations to walk in 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.”

and yet he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good, and giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

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

And with these words they hardly restrained the multitudes 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.

Then came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, who persuaded the multitudes; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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 while the disciples were standing around him, he arose, and went into the city. And on the next day, he departed 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,

and when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to 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.”

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast 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.

And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

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

And having passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;

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

and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:

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.

thence they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

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.

And having come and called together the church, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

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

And they continued a long time with the disciples.
