Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
1E 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.
2God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.
2Hoolewa aku la kekahi poe kanaka haipule ia Setepano, a kanikau loa lakou ia ia.
3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.
3Luku 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.
4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.
4No ia mea, kaahele ae la ka poe i hoopuehuia, e hai aku ana i ka euanelio.
5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.
5A iho ae la o Pilipo i ke kulanakauhale o Samaria, a hai aku la ia Kristo ia lakou.
6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.
6Malama 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.
7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.
7No 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.
8So there was great joy in that city.
8Nui loa iho la ka olioli ma kela kulanakauhale.
9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,
9Malaila 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.
10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”
10A 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.
11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.
11Malama no lakou i kana, no ka mea, loihi ka manawa i hoopilihua ai oia ia lakou i ke kilokilo ana.
12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12A 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.
13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.
13O 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.
14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
14A 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.
15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.
15Iho ae la laua, pule aku la laua no lakou, i loaa ia lakou ka Uhane Hemolele.
16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
16No 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.
17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Alaila, kau iho la laua i na lima maluna iho o lakou, a loaa iho la ia lakou ka Uhane Hemolele.
18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.
18A 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“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19I 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.
20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
20I 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.
21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.
21Aole 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.
22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.
22Nolaila, 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.
23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”
23No ka mea, ua ike au, aia no oe maloko o ke au awaawa, a me ka mea paa o ka hewa.
24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
24Olelo 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.
25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.
25Nolaila, 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.
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
26A 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.
27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
27Ku 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;
28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.
28E hoi aku ana ia e noho ana maloko o kona halekaa, a e heluhelu ana i ka ke kaula Isaia.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”
29Olelo mai la ka Uhane ia Pilipo, E hele oe, e hoopili aku ia halekaa.
30So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
30Holo 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“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
31I 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.
32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
32Eia 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.
33In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”
33I 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“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
34Olelo 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?
35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
35Alaila, oaka ae la o Pilipo i kona waha, a ma ua palapala la kana hoomaka ana e hai mai ai ia ia, ia Iesu.
36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”
36A 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?
no verse 37 in this text
37I 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.
38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
38A 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.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
39A 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.
40But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
40Ikea 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.
