1And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
1Pea fanongo ʻae kau ʻaposetolo mo e kāinga naʻe ʻi Siutea, kuo maʻu ʻe he kakai Senitaile foki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
2And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
2Pea kuo hoko ʻa Pita ki Selūsalema, pea kikihi mo ia ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he kamu,
3Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
3“ʻo nau pehē, naʻa ke ʻalu ki he kau tangata taʻekamu, ʻo keinanga mo kinautolu.”
4But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
4Pea fakahā ʻe Pita mei hono tupuʻanga, ʻo fakamatala hokohoko kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
5I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
5“Naʻaku ʻi he kolo ko Sopa, ʻo fai ʻeku lotu; pea ʻi he ʻāvea hoku loto ne u mamata ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, Ko e meʻa ʻo hangē ha fuʻu tupenu, naʻe tukutuku hifo mei he langi, kuo fakakaveʻi hono kapa ʻe fā; pea aʻu hifo ia kiate au:
6Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
6Pea kuo u fakamamaʻu hoku mata ki ai, ʻo tokanga, peau mamata ki he manu veʻe fā ʻoe fonua, mo e manu fekai, mo e manu totolo, mo e manupuna ʻoe ʻatā.
7And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
7Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘Tuʻu, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi ʻo kai.’
8And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
8Pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito: he ʻoku teʻeki ai ke kai ʻe hoku ngutu ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua pe taʻemaʻa.’
9And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
9Ka naʻe pehē mai ʻe he leʻo mei he langi kiate au ko hono tuʻo ua, ‘Ko ia kuo fakamaʻa ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke pehē ʻoku ʻikai ngofua.’
10And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
10Pea naʻe fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻo tuʻo tolu: pea toe fusi hake kotoa pē ki he langi.
11And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
11Pea vakai, kuo haʻu fakafokifā ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ki he fale ʻoku ou ʻi ai, kuo fekau mai kiate au mei Sesalia.
12And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man’s house.
12Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he Laumālie ke u ʻalu mo kinautolu, pea ʻoua naʻaku manavahē. Pea naʻa mau ō mo au ʻae kāinga ʻe toko ono ni, pea mau hū ki he fale ʻoe tangata:
13And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
13‘Pea ne fakahā ʻe ia kiate kimautolu kuo ne mamata ia ki ha ʻāngelo ʻi hono fale, naʻe tuʻu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, Ke ke fekau ki Sopa ha kau tangata ke ʻomi ʻa Saimone, ko hono hingoa ʻe taha ko Pita;
14Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
14Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻe moʻui ai koe mo ho fale kotoa pē.
15And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
15Pea ʻi heʻeku kamata lea, naʻe tō hifo kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē kiate kitautolu ʻi he kamataʻanga.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
16Peau toki manatu ki he folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ʻi heʻene pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni naʻe papitaiso ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae papitaiso ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’
17If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
17Pea koeʻuhi kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻae foaki, ʻo hangē ko kitautolu, naʻe tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi; pea ko hai au, ke u faʻa taʻofia ʻae ʻOtua?”
18Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
18Pea kuo nau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻa nau fakalongo pe, ʻo fakamālō ki he ʻOtua, ʻonau pehē, “Ta kuo tuku foki ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi Senitaile ʻae fakatomala ki he moʻui.”
19Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
19¶ Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakamovetevete ʻi he fakatanga naʻe tupu ia Setiveni, naʻa nau fononga atu ʻo aʻu ki Finesi, mo Saipalo, mo ʻAniteoke, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ka ki he kakai Siu pe.
20But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
20Pea ko honau niʻihi ko e kau tangata mei Saipalo mo Sailine, pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki ʻAniteoke, naʻa nau lea ki he kau ʻElinisitō, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu.
21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
21Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki: pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi, mo tafoki ki he ʻEiki.
22And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
22¶ Pea kuo ongo mai ʻae meʻa ni ki he siasi ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻa nau fekau atu ʻa Pānepasa, ke ʻalu ia ʻo aʻu ki ʻAniteoke.
23Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
23Pea kuo hoko atu ia, ʻo mamata ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fiefia ia, mo ne ako kiate kinautolu kotoa pē, ke nau pikitai ki he ʻEiki ʻi he loto maʻu.
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
24He ko e tangata lelei ia, pea fonu ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni mo e tui: pea naʻe ului ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tokolahi.
25And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
25Pea toki ʻalu ʻa Pānepasa ki Tasusi, ʻo kumi kia Saula:
26And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
26Pea kuo ne ʻilo ia, naʻa ne ʻomi ia ki ʻAniteoke. Pea naʻa na faʻa fakataha mo e siasi ʻi he taʻu kotoa, ʻo ako ki he kakai tokolahi. Pea naʻe tomuʻa ui ʻi ʻAniteoke ʻae kau ākonga ko e Kalisitiane.
27And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch:
27¶ Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau palōfita, mei Selūsalema, ki ʻAniteoke.
28And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius.
28Pea naʻe tuʻu hake honau tokotaha ko ʻAkapusi hono hingoa, ʻo ne kikite ʻi he Laumālie, ʻe tō ha honge lahi ki māmani kotoa pē: ʻaia naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Kalotiusi Sisa.
29And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
29Pea loto ʻae kau ākonga ke taki taha foaki, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene maʻumeʻa, ke ʻatu ko e tokoni ki he kāinga ʻoku nofo ʻi Siutea:
30Which also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
30Pea naʻa nau fai ia, pea ʻave ia ki he mātuʻa ʻi he nima ʻo Pānepasa mo Saula.
