Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
1Pea naʻe ʻi Sesalia ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha ko Koniliusi hono hingoa, ko e ʻeikitau ʻoe kau tau naʻe ui “ Ko e kau Tau ʻItali.”
2A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
2Ko e faʻa lotu ia, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia mo hono fale kotoa pē, pea naʻe lahi ʻene foaki ki he kakai, mo ne hū maʻuaipē ki he ʻOtua.
3This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
3Pea mamata pau ʻe ia ʻi ha meʻa hā mai, ʻi hono hiva nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā ʻoe ʻaho, ki ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Koniliusi.”
4And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
4Pea kuo vakai ia ki ai, pea manavahē ia, mo pehē, “Ko e hā ia, ʻEiki?” Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo aʻu hake hoʻo ngaahi hū mo hoʻo faʻa foaki, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
5And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
5Pea ke fekau leva ha kau tangata ki Sopa, ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita:
6He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
6ʻOku nofo ia mo Saimone ko e tufunga ngaohi kiliʻi manu, ʻoku tuʻu hono fale ʻi he matātahi: pea te ne tala kiate koe ʻae meʻa totonu ke ke fai.”
7And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
7Pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻāngelo naʻe lea kia Koniliusi, pea ui ia ki he toko ua ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e tangata tau ʻoku lotu, meiate kinautolu naʻe tali fekau kiate ia;
8To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
8Pea kuo ne fakahā eni kotoa pē kiate kinautolu, pea ne fekau ʻakinautolu ki Sopa.
9And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
9¶ Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau fononga atu, ʻo ofi ki he kolo, kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Pita ki he tuʻa fale ke lotu, ʻi hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā:
10And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
10Pea naʻe lahi ʻene fiekaia, pea holi ia ke kai; kae lolotonga ʻenau teu ia, naʻe ʻāvea hono loto,
11And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
11Pea mamata ia kuo matangaki ʻae langi, pea tuku hifo kiate ia ha meʻa ʻo hangē ha fuʻu tupenu, kuo fakakaveʻi ʻi hono kapa ʻe fā, pea tukutukuhifo ia ki he kelekele:
12Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
12Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fanga manu veʻe fā ʻoe fonua, mo e manu fekai, mo e manu totolo, mo e manu ʻoe ʻatā.
13And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
13Pea naʻe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia, ʻo pehē , “Tuʻu hake, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi mo kai.”
14But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
14Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito; he ʻoku teʻeki ai te u kai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua pe taʻemaʻa.”
15And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
15Pea naʻe toe ongo mai ʻae leʻo kiate ia ko hono tuʻo ua, “Ko ia kuo fakamaʻa ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke pehē ʻoku ʻikai ngofua.”
16And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
16Pea naʻe fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo tuʻo tolu: pea toe fusi hake ʻae tupenu ki he langi.
17Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
17Pea lolotonga ʻae fifili ʻa Pita ʻi hono loto pe ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe meʻa kuo ne mamata ai, ʻiloange, kuo tutuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻae kau tangata fekau ʻa Koniliusi, kuo nau fehuʻi ki he fale ʻo Saimone,
18And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
18“Pea naʻa nau ui, ʻo fehuʻi pe ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita.”
19And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
19¶ Pea lolotonga ʻae fifili ʻa Pita ki he meʻa kuo hā mai, pea pehē ʻe he Laumālie kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku kumi koe ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu.
20Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
20Ko ia ke ke tuʻu, ʻo ʻalu hifo, pea mou ō mo kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē: he kuo u fekau ʻakinautolu.”
21Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
21Pea toki ʻalu hifo ʻa Pita ki he kau tangata kuo fekau mai ʻe Koniliusi kiate ia; ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko au eni ʻoku mou kumi: pea ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou haʻu ai?”
22Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
22Pea nau pehē, “Ko Koniliusi ko e ʻEikitau, ko e tangata angatonu, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ongoongolelei ia ʻi he kakai Siu kotoa pē, naʻe valoki ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi ha ʻāngelo māʻoniʻoni, ke ne fekau kiate koe ke ke ʻalu ki hono fale, ke ne fanongo ki ha ngaahi lea ʻiate koe.”
23Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
23Pea naʻa ne toki ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki fale, ke nau nonofo. Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Pita mo kinautolu, pea naʻa nau ō mo e kāinga niʻihi mei Sopa.
24And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
24Pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi, naʻa nau hoko ki Sesalia. Pea tatali ʻa Koniliusi kiate kinautolu, pea kuo ne fakataha hono ngaahi kāinga mo e kaungāʻapi.
25And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
25Pea ʻi he hū atu ʻa Pita, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻa Koniliusi, pea tō ki lalo ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻo ne hū.
26But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
26Ka naʻe fokotuʻu hake ia ʻe Pita, mo pehē ʻe ia, “Tuʻu hake; he ko e tangata pe foki au.”
27And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
27Pea naʻe kei lea ia kiate ia, pea hū ki fale , pea ʻilo ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi kuo fakataha.
28And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
28Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou ʻilo ko e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ʻi he tangata Siu ke fakataha mo e tangata mei he puleʻanga kehe, pe ʻalu ki ai; ka kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ke ʻoua naʻaku ui ko e taʻetapu pe taʻemaʻa ha tangata ʻe tokotaha.
29For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
29Ko ia naʻaku haʻu ai, ʻo ʻikai teu paongataʻa ʻi he fekau mai kiate au: pea ko eni, ʻoku ou fehuʻi pe ko e hā ai kuo mou fekau mai kiate au?”
30And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
30Pea pehē ʻe Koniliusi, “Ko e ʻaho ʻe fā kuo hili ange, naʻaku ʻaukai ʻo hoko ki he feituʻulaʻā ni; pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe feituʻulaʻā naʻaku lotu ʻi hoku fale, pea mo ʻene tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae tangata ʻoku kofu fetapatapaki,
31Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
31ʻO ne pehē mai, ‘Koniliusi, kuo ongo hoʻo hū, pea ʻoku manatuʻi ʻe he ʻOtua hoʻo faʻa foaki.
32Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
32Ko ia ke ke fekau ai ki Sopa ʻo ʻomi ki heni ʻa Saimone, ʻoku hingoa ko Pita; ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he fale ʻo Saimone ko e tufunga ngaohi kiliʻi manu ʻi he matātahi: pea ka haʻu, ʻe lea ia kiate koe.’
33Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
33Ko ia ne u fekau atu ai leva kiate koe; pea ko e meʻa lelei hoʻo haʻu. Pea ko eni, kuo mau fakataha kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua, ke fanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fekau ʻe he ʻOtua kiate koe.”
34And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
34Pea toki mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Pita, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻilo ni ʻoku ʻikai filifilimānako ʻae ʻOtua ki he kakai:
35But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
35Ka ʻoku ne maʻu maʻana ʻaia ʻoku manavahē kiate ia, mo fai totonu, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē.
36God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
36Ko e akonaki eni naʻe tuku ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e malangaʻaki ʻae melino ia Sisu Kalaisi: (ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē:)
37You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
37Pea ko e ongoongo ko ia ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi, ʻaia naʻe fanongonongo ʻi Siutea kotoa pē, ʻo kamata ʻi Kāleli, ʻi he hili ʻae papitaiso naʻe malangaʻaki ʻe Sione;
38Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
38Koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e mālohi: ʻaia naʻe faʻa feʻaluʻaki ʻo fai lelei, mo ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fakamālohiʻi ʻe he tēvolo; he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ʻOtua.
39And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
39Pea ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻi he fonua ʻoe kakai Siu, pea ʻi Selūsalema; ko ia ia foki naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻi he tautau ʻi he ʻakau:
40Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
40Pea naʻe fokotuʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, ʻo fakahā lahi ia;
41Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
41Ka naʻe ʻikai ki he kakai kotoa pē, ka ki he fakamoʻoni naʻe tomuʻa fili ʻe he ʻOtua, kiate kimautolu, naʻa mau kai mo inu mo ia, ʻi he hili ʻene toetuʻu mei he mate.
42And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
42Pea naʻa ne fekau kiate kimautolu ke mau malanga ki he kakai, mo fakamoʻoni ko ia ia kuo fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtua ko e Fakamaau ki he moʻui mo e mate.
43To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
43Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate ia ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē, ko ia fulipē ʻe tui kiate ia, ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala ʻi hono huafa.”
44While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
44¶ Pea ʻi he kei leaʻaki ʻe Pita ʻae ngaahi lea ni, ne tō hifo ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he lea.
45And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
45Pea naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu ʻoe kamu naʻe tui, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe omi mo Pita, koeʻuhi kuo huaʻi hifo ki he Senitaile foki ʻae foaki ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
46For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
46He kuo nau fanongo ki heʻenau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita,
47Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
47“ʻE faʻa taʻofi ʻe ha taha ʻae vai, ke ʻoua naʻa papitaiso ʻakinautolu ni, ka kuo nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko kitautolu?”
48And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
48Pea fekau ʻe ia ke nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻae ʻEiki. Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke nofo mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.
