Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
1Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, naʻe lahi ʻae fakatanga ki he siasi ʻi Selūsalema; pea naʻe fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ko Siutea mo Samēlia, kae nofo pe ʻae kau ʻaposetolo.
2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial , and made great lamentation over him.
2Pea naʻe fai ʻae putu ʻo Setiveni ʻe he kau tangata lotu, pea naʻe lahi ʻenau tangi ʻiate ia.
3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
3Ka ko Saula naʻa ne maumauʻi ʻae siasi, ʻo hū ki he fale kotoa pē, mo ne toho ʻae kakai tangata mo e fefine, ʻo fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula.
4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
4Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakamovetevete, naʻa nau ʻalu ki he potu kotoa pē, mo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola.
5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
5Pea naʻe toki ʻalu hifo ʻa Filipe ki he kolo ʻo Samēlia, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi kiate kinautolu.
6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
6Pea naʻe tokanga ʻo loto taha ʻae kakai ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Filipe, ʻi heʻenau fanongo mo mamata ki he ngaahi mana naʻa ne fai.
7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them : and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
7He naʻe haʻu kituʻa ʻae kau laumālie ʻuli mei he tokolahi naʻa nau ʻulusino ai, ʻonau tangi leʻo lahi: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻae tokolahi naʻe pukea ʻi he mahaki tete, pea mo e kau pipiki.
8And there was great joy in that city.
8Pea naʻe lahi ʻae fiefia ʻi he kolo ko ia.
9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
9Ka naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tangata naʻe hingoa ko Saimone, ʻaia ne tomuʻa fai ʻae kikite ʻi he kolo ʻo ne fakamanaʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Samēlia, mo ne pole ko e lahi ia:
10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
10Pea naʻa nau tokanga kotoa pē kiate ia, mei he iiki ʻo aʻu ki he lalahi, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e mālohi lahi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae tangata ni.”
11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
11Pea naʻa nau tokanga kiate ia, koeʻuhi kuo fuoloa ʻene fakaofo kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻene fie mana.
12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Ka kuo nau tui kia Filipe, ʻi heʻene malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, pea nau papitaiso, ʻae tangata mo e fefine.
13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
13Pea toki tui foki mo Saimone: pea kuo papitaiso ia, pea nofo ia mo Filipe, ʻo ofo ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi naʻa ne fai.
14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
14Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau ʻaposetolo ʻi Selūsalema kuo tali ʻe Samēlia, ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua, naʻa nau fekau ʻa Pita mo Sione kiate kinautolu:
15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
15Pea ʻi heʻena hoko hifo, naʻa na hūfia ʻakinautolu, ke nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni:
16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
16(He naʻe teʻeki ai tō ia ki ha niʻihi ʻiate kinautolu: ka kuo nau papitaiso pe ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.)
17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
17Pea naʻa na toki hilifaki hona nima kiate kinautolu, pea nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
18Pea kuo mamata ʻa Saimone ʻoku foaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he hili ʻae nima ʻoe ongo ʻaposetolo, pea fie ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae paʻanga kiate kinaua,
19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
19ʻO ne pehē, “Foaki mai foki kiate au ʻae mālohi ni, koeʻuhi ke ʻilonga ʻaia te u hili ki ai hoku nima, ke maʻu ʻe ia ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.”
20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
20Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Ke malaʻia mo koe hoʻo paʻanga, koeʻuhi kuo ke mahalo ʻe faʻa fakatauʻaki ʻae paʻanga ʻae foaki ʻae ʻOtua.
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
21ʻOku ʻikai siʻi hao ʻinasi pe tufakanga ʻi he meʻa ni: he ʻoku ʻikai lelei ho loto ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
22Ko ia ke ke fakatomala ʻi hoʻo angahala ni, pea hū ki he ʻOtua, heiʻilo ʻe fakamolemole kiate koe ʻae mahalo ʻo ho loto.
23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
23He ʻoku ou ʻilo ni ʻoku ke ʻi he kona ʻoe ʻahu, pea ʻoku haʻi ʻaki koe ʻae angahala.”
24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
24Pea leaange ʻa Saimone, ʻo pehē, “Mo hūfia au ki he ʻEiki, ke ʻoua naʻa tō kiate au ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kuo mo lea ki ai.”
25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
25Pea kuo ʻosi ʻena fakahā mo malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki, ne na toe liu mai ki Selūsalema, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he ngaahi potu kakai kehekehe ʻo Samēlia.
26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
26Pea naʻe lea ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki kia Filipe, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu, pea ke ʻalu ki he feituʻu tonga, ki he hala ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei Selūsalema ki Kesa, ʻaia ko e toafa.”
27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
27Pea tuʻu ia, ʻo ʻalu: pea vakai, ko e tangata ʻItiopea, ko e ʻiunoke, koē naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻene koloa kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ki Selūsalema ke lotu:
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
28Pea ʻi heʻene liu mai, kuo heka ʻi hono saliote, pea naʻe lau ʻe ia ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia.
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
29Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he Laumālie kia Filipe, “ʻAlu atu ke hoko ki he saliote na.”
30And Philip ran thither to him , and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
30Pea lele atu ʻa Filipe, ʻo ne fanongo ki heʻene lautohi ʻi he palōfita ko ʻIsaia, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ke ʻilo hono ʻuhinga ʻo ia ʻoku ke lau?”
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
31Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u ʻilo fēfē, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai fakahinohino au ʻe ha tangata?” Pea naʻa ne kole kia Filipe ke ʻalu hake ke na haheka mo ia.
32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
32Ko e potu ʻeni ʻi he tohi naʻa ne lau, “Naʻe tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e sipi ke tāmateʻi; pea hangē ko e lami ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi, pehē naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga:
33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
33ʻI heʻene moʻulaloa naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia: pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga? He naʻe ʻave ʻene moʻui ʻi māmani.”
34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
34Pea leaange ʻae ʻiunoke kia Filipe, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ko e lea eni ʻae palōfita kia hai? Kiate ia, pe ki ha tangata kehe?”
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
35Pea mafaʻa ʻae ngutu ʻo Filipe ʻo ne kamata ʻi he tohi ko ia, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻa Sisu kiate ia.
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
36Pea ʻi heʻena fononga ʻi he hala, naʻa na hoko ki he vai: pea pehē ʻe he ʻiunoke, “Vakai, ko e vai; ko e hā ʻoku taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻaku papitaiso?”
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
37Pea pehē ʻe Filipe, “ʻOku lelei ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke tuiʻaki ho loto kotoa.” Pea ne leaange, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou tui ko Sisu Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua,”
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
38pea fekau ʻe ia ke tuʻu ʻae saliote: pea ne na ʻohifo fakatouʻosi ki he vai, ʻa Filipe mo e ʻiunoke; pea ne papitaiso ʻi ai.
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
39Pea kuo na ʻohake mei he vai, pea ʻave ʻa Filipe ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki, pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ʻe he ʻiunoke kiate ia: pea fononga ia ʻi hono hala kuo fiefia.
40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
40Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻa Filipe ʻi ʻAsota: pea fononga atu ia, mo malanga ʻi he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē, ʻo fai ki Sesalia.
