King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also 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, Thou wentest 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 rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
4Pea fakahā ʻe Pita mei hono tupuʻanga, ʻo fakamatala hokohoko kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
5I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to 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:
6Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild 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 a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
7Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘Tuʻu, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi ʻo kai.’
8But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time 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.’
9But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 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 drawn 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 already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
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 bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, 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 shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is 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 tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
14Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻe moʻui ai koe mo ho fale kotoa pē.
15And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
15Pea ʻi heʻeku kamata lea, naʻe tō hifo kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē kiate kitautolu ʻi he kamataʻanga.
16Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye 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.’
17Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I 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?”
18When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted 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.”
19¶ Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto 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.
20And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, 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 believed, and turned unto the Lord.
21Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki: pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi, mo tafoki ki he ʻEiki.
22¶ Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go 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 came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto 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 much people was added unto 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.
25Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
25Pea toki ʻalu ʻa Pānepasa ki Tasusi, ʻo kumi kia Saula:
26And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
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.
27¶ And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
27¶ Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau palōfita, mei Selūsalema, ki ʻAniteoke.
28And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.
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.
29Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
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, and sent it to the elders 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.
