1Agrippa vero ad Paulum ait: Permittitur tibi loqui pro temetipso. Tunc Paulus extenta manu cœpit rationem reddere:
1Pea toki pehē ʻe ʻAkilipa kia Paula, “ʻOku tuku kiate koe ke ke fakamatala maʻau.” Pea toki mafao atu ʻe Paula ʻa hono nima, ʻo ne fakamatala maʻana, ʻo pehē ,
2De omnibus quibus accusor a Judæis, rex Agrippa, æstimo me beatum apud te cum sim defensurus me hodie,
2“ʻE tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa, ʻoku ou pehē ʻoku ou monūʻia, ʻi heʻeku fakamatala maʻaku ʻi ho ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ni, ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku talatalaakiʻi ai au ʻe he kakai Siu:
3maxime te sciente omnia, et quæ apud Judæos sunt consuetudines et quæstiones: propter quod obsecro patienter me audias.
3Pea ʻāsili pē koeʻuhi ʻoku ke poto ʻi he ngaahi ngāue mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻeke ʻi he kakai Siu: ko ia ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke kātaki pē, ʻo fanongo kiate au.
4Et quidem vitam meam a juventute, quæ ab initio fuit in gente mea in Jerosolymis, noverunt omnes Judæi:
4“ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he kakai Siu kotoa pē ʻae anga ʻo ʻeku moʻui talu ʻeku kei siʻi, ʻi heʻeku nofo talu mei muʻa mo hoku kakai ʻi Selūsalema;
5præscientes me ab initio (si velint testimonium perhibere) quoniam secundum certissimam sectam nostræ religionis vixi pharisæus.
5ʻAkinautolu naʻa nau ʻilo au mei he kamataʻanga, ʻokapau te nau fakamoʻoni koeʻuhi naʻaku moʻui ko e Fālesi, ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻahinga ʻoku tokanga lahi taha pe ki heʻetau lotu.
6Et nunc, in spe quæ ad patres nostros repromissionis facta est a Deo, sto judicio subjectus:
6Pea ʻoku ou tuʻu ni, pea ʻoku fakamaauʻi au, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻamanaki ki he talaʻofa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi tamai:
7in quam duodecim tribus nostræ nocte ac die deservientes, sperant devenire. De qua spe accusor a Judæis, rex.
7ʻAia foki ʻoku ʻamanaki ke lavaʻi ʻe hotau faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻi heʻenau lotu maʻu ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho. Pea koeʻuhi ko e ʻamanaki pe ko ia, ʻe tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa, kuo talatalaakiʻi au ʻe he kakai Siu.
8Quid incredibile judicatur apud vos, si Deus mortuos suscitat?
8Ka ko e hā ʻoku mou pehē ai, ko e meʻa e ʻikai te mou faʻa tui ki ai, ʻae fokotuʻu ʻae mate ʻe he ʻOtua?
9Et ego quidem existimaveram me adversus nomen Jesu Nazareni debere multa contraria agere,
9“Ko e moʻoni naʻaku mahalo ʻeau ʻi hoku loto, ʻoku totonu ʻeku fai kehe mo e huafa ʻo Sisu ʻo Nāsaleti ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.
10quod et feci Jerosolymis, et multos sanctorum ego in carceribus inclusi, a principibus sacerdotum potestate accepta: et cum occiderentur, detuli sententiam.
10Pea ne u fai foki ia ʻi Selūsalema pea ko e tokolahi ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni ne u fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻi heʻeku maʻu ʻae mālohi mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi; pea naʻaku kau ki honau tāmateʻi.
11Et per omnes synagogas frequenter puniens eos, compellebam blasphemare: et amplius insaniens in eos, persequebar usque in exteras civitates.
11Pea ne u tautea ʻakinautolu ʻo liunga lahi ʻi he falelotu kotoa pē, ʻo fakamālohiʻi ke nau lea kovi, pea naʻaku loto lili fakamanavahē kiate kinautolu, pea ne u ʻalu ki he kolo kehekehe ʻo fakatangaʻi.
12In quibus dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum,
12“Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ki Tamasikusi, kuo u maʻu ʻae mālohi mo e tohi mei he kau taulaʻeiki lahi,
13die media in via vidi, rex, de cælo supra splendorem solis circumfulsisse me lumen, et eos qui mecum simul erant.
13Ne u mamata, ʻe tuʻi, ʻi he hala ʻi he hoʻatāmālie, ki he maama mei he langi, naʻe malama lahi ia ʻi he laʻā, pea naʻe ulo takatakai ia ʻiate au mo kinautolu naʻa mau fononga.
14Omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram, audivi vocem loquentem mihi hebraica lingua: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris? durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
14“Pea kuo mau tō kotoa pē ki he kelekele, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo, ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ‘ʻE Saula, ʻe Saula, ko e hā ʻoku ke fakatanga ai au? ʻOku faingataʻa hoʻo ʻakahi ʻae meʻa māsila.’
15Ego autem dixi: Quis es, domine? Dominus autem dixit: Ego sum Jesus, quem tu persequeris.
15Pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻEiki, ko hai koe?’ Pea pehē mai ʻe ia, ‘Ko au Sisu ʻoku ke fakatangaʻi.
16Sed exsurge, et sta super pedes tuos: ad hoc enim apparui tibi, ut constituam te ministrum, et testem eorum quæ vidisti, et eorum quibus apparebo tibi,
16Ka ke tuʻu hake ʻi ho vaʻe: he kuo u hā atu kiate koe koeʻuhi ke u fakanofo koe koe faifekau mo e fakamoʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kuo ke mamata ai, mo e ngaahi meʻa foki te u fakahā kiate koe;
17eripiens te de populo et gentibus, in quas nunc ego mitto te,
17Pea te u fakamoʻui koe mei he kakai mo e ngaahi Senitaile, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ou fekau koe ki ai ni,
18aperire oculos eorum, ut convertantur a tenebris ad lucem, et de potestate Satanæ ad Deum, ut accipiant remissionem peccatorum, et sortem inter sanctos, per fidem quæ est in me.
18Ke fakaʻā honau mata, mo fakatafoki ʻakinautolu mei he poʻuli ki he maama, pea mei he mālohi ʻo Sētane ki he ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamolemole ʻoe angahala, mo e tofiʻa fakataha mo kinautolu kuo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻi he tui kiate au.
19Unde, rex Agrippa, non fui incredulus cælesti visioni:
19Pea talu ai, ʻe tuʻi ko ʻAlikipa, naʻe ʻikai te u talangataʻa ki he meʻa naʻe hā mai mei he langi:
20sed his qui sunt Damasci primum, et Jerosolymis, et in omnem regionem Judææ, et gentibus, annuntiabam, ut pœnitentiam agerent, et converterentur ad Deum, digna pœnitentiæ opera facientes.
20Ka ne u fuofua fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi Tamasikusi, pea ʻi Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻi Siutea, pea ki he ngaahi Senitaile, ke nau fakatomala pea tafoki ki he ʻOtua, mo fai ʻae ngāue ʻoku taau mo e fakatomala.
21Hac ex causa me Judæi, cum essem in templo, comprehensum tentabant interficere.
21Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe puke au ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻonau fai ke tāmateʻi au.
22Auxilio autem adjutus Dei usque in hodiernum diem, sto, testificans minori atque majori, nihil extra dicens quam ea quæ prophetæ locuti sunt futura esse, et Moyses,
22Ka ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku maʻu ʻae tokoni mei he ʻOtua, ko ia ʻoku ou kei fai ai ʻo hoko ki he ʻaho ni, ʻo fakamoʻoni ki he iiki mo e lalahi, ʻo ʻikai ha meʻa kehe ka ko ia ʻe he kau palōfita mo Mōsese ʻe hoko mai:
23si passibilis Christus, si primus ex resurrectione mortuorum, lumen annuntiaturus est populo et gentibus.
23Koeʻuhi ʻe mamahi ʻa Kalaisi, pea ko e ʻuluaki ia ʻi he toetuʻu mei he mate, pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia ʻae maama ki he kakai, mo e ngaahi Senitaile.
24Hæc loquente eo, et rationem reddente, Festus magna voce dixit: Insanis, Paule: multæ te litteræ ad insaniam convertunt.
24Pe fakamatala pehē pe ʻe ia, mo e kalanga mai ʻa Fesito, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Paula, kuo ke faha; kuo fakafaha koe ʻe he poto lahi.”
25Et Paulus: Non insanio, inquit, optime Feste, sed veritatis et sobrietatis verba loquor.
25Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE ʻeiki ko Fesito, ʻoku ʻikai te u faha; ka ʻoku ou fakahā atu ʻae lea ʻoe moʻoni mo e poto.
26Scit enim de his rex, ad quem et constanter loquor: latere enim eum nihil horum arbitror. Neque enim in angulo quidquam horum gestum est.
26He ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni ʻe he tuʻi, ʻoku ou fakamatala ni ʻi hono ʻao: he ʻoku ou ʻilo pau ʻoku ʻikai lilo kiate ia ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ni; he naʻe ʻikai fai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ha tuliki.
27Credis, rex Agrippa, prophetis? Scio quia credis.
27ʻE tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa, ʻoku ke tui ki he kau palōfita? ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke tui.”
28Agrippa autem ad Paulum: In modico suades me christianum fieri.
28Pea pehē ʻe ʻAkilipa kia Paula, Kuo ke meimei fakahehemaʻi au ke u hoko ko e Kalisitiane.
29Et Paulus: Opto apud Deum, et in modico et in magno, non tantum te, sed etiam omnes qui audiunt hodie fieri tales, qualis et ego sum, exceptis vinculis his.
29Pea pehē ʻe Paula, “ʻAmusiaange ʻeau ki he ʻOtua, kuo ʻikai ko koe pe, ka ko kinautolu kotoa pē foki ʻoku fanongo kiate au ʻi he ʻaho ni, kuo mou meimei tatau, mo mātuʻaki tatau pē mo au, ka ko e ngaahi haʻi ni pe.”
30Et exsurrexit rex, et præses, et Bernice, et qui assidebant eis.
30Pea kuo pehē ʻene lea, pea tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi, mo e pule, mo Pelenaisi, mo kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo:
31Et cum secessissent, loquebantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quia nihil morte aut vinculis dignum quid fecit homo iste.
31Pea kuo nau afe siʻi mei ai, pea nau alea, ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻikai fai ʻe he tangata ni ha meʻa ʻoku ngali mo e mate, pe ko e haʻisia.”
32Agrippa autem Festo dixit: Dimitti poterat homo hic, si non appellasset Cæsarem.
32Pea toki pehē ʻe ʻAkilipa kia Fesito, “Ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻene pehē ke fakamaau ia ʻia Sisa, pehē, kuo lelei ke tukuange ʻae tangata ni.”
