1Pea naʻe pehē ʻi ʻIkoniume, naʻa na ō fakataha ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻena lea, naʻe tui ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻi he Siu mo e Senitaile.
1At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
2Ka ko e kau Siu taʻetui, naʻa nau ueʻi kovi ʻae kakai Senitaile, ʻo fakakoviʻi honau loto ki he kāinga.
2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3Ka naʻe nofo fuoloa ai ʻakinaua, ʻo na lea mālohi ʻi he ʻEiki, pea naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe ia ki he folofola ʻo ʻene ʻaloʻofa, ʻo ne tuku ke fai ʻe hona nima ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo.
3So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
4Ka naʻe vaeua ʻae kakai ʻoe kolo: naʻe kau ʻae niʻihi ki he kakai Siu, ka ko e niʻihi ki he ongo ʻaposetolo.
4The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.
5Pea fai ke feʻohofi ʻae Senitaile, mo e Siu mo honau ngaahi pule, ke ngaohikoviʻi mo tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinaua.
5But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,
6Pea naʻa na ʻilo ki ai, pea na hola ki Lisita mo Teape, ko e ongo kolo ʻo Likonia, pea ki he ngaahi potu naʻe vāofi:
6they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,
7Pea naʻa na malangaʻaki ai ʻae ongoongolelei.
7where they continued to preach the gospel.
8Pea naʻe nofo ʻi Lisita ʻae tangata ʻe taha, naʻe veʻe mate, ko e pipiki ia mei he manāva ʻo ʻene faʻē, kuo teʻeki ʻaupito ke ʻeveʻeva:
8In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
9Pea naʻe fanongo ia ki he lea ʻa Paula: ʻaia naʻe sio fakamamaʻu kiate ia, pea ne ʻilo kuo maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tui ke moʻui ai,
9This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
10Pea ne leaʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Tuʻu totonu hake ʻi ho vaʻe.” Pea naʻe hopohopo ia, ʻo ʻeveʻeva.
10In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.
11Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Paula, naʻa nau kalanga, ʻi he lea fakaLikonia, ʻo pehē, “Kuo maliu hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kiate kitautolu ʻi he anga ʻoe tangata.”
11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
12Pea naʻa nau ui ʻa Pānepasa, ko Supita; kae ui ʻa Paula, ko Mekulio, koeʻuhi ko ia ia naʻe faʻa malanga.
12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13Pea ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo Supita, ʻaia naʻe ʻi honau veʻe kolo, ne ʻomi ʻe ia ki he matapā ʻae fanga pulu, mo e tuinga kakala, pea nau tokanga mo e kakai ke feilaulau.
13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.
14Ka ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻae ongo ʻaposetolo, ko Pānepasa mo Paula, naʻa na haehae hona kofu, pea na feleleʻi ki he kakai, mo na kalanga,
14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,
15ʻo pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata, ko e hā ʻoku mou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Ko e ongo tangata pe ʻakimaua ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ma malanga kiate kimoutolu ke mou tafoki mei he ngaahi vaʻinga ni ki he ʻOtua moʻui, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae langi, mo māmani, mo e tahi, mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai:
15“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
16ʻAia naʻa ne tuku ke ʻeveʻeva ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻi honau ngaahi hala, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kuo hili ange.
16In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.
17Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tuku ia taʻehaʻanefakamoʻoni, he naʻe fai lelei mai ʻe ia, ʻo tuku kiate kitautolu ʻae ʻuha mei he langi, mo e ngaahi taʻu mahu, ʻo ne fakapito ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae meʻakai mo e fiefia.”
17Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18Pea naʻe ʻikai te na meimei faʻa taʻofi ʻae kakai, ʻaki ʻae lea ni, ke ʻoua te nau feilaulau kiate kinaua.
18Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ki ai ʻae tuʻunga Siu mei ʻAniteoke mo ʻIkoniume, ʻonau fakalotokoviʻi ʻae kakai, pea hili ʻenau tolongaki ʻa Paula ʻaki ʻae maka, naʻe toho ia ki he tuʻa kolo, ʻonau mahalo kuo mate ia.
19Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.
20Kae lolotonga ʻae tuʻu takatakai ʻae kau ākonga ʻiate ia, naʻe tuʻu hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo: pea ko e ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, naʻa na ō ai mo Pānepasa ki Teape.
20But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
21Pea kuo na malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he kolo ko ia, mo na fakalotuʻi ʻae tokolahi, pea na liu mai ki Lisita, mo ʻIkoniume, mo ʻAniteoke,
21They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22ʻO na tokoniʻi ʻae loto ʻoe kau ākonga, pea akonaki ke nau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he tui, “Koeʻuhi kuo tonu ke tau hū ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he mamahi lahi.”
22strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
23Pea kuo na fakanofo ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻi he siasi kotoa pē ʻo fai ʻae lotu mo e ʻaukai, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ʻEiki, ʻaia kuo nau tui ki ai.
23Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Pisitia, ʻi heʻena ʻalu, pea na hoko ki Pamifilia.
24After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25Pea hili ʻena malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi Peaka, pea na ō hifo ki ʻAtaleia.
25And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26Pea folau mei ai ki ʻAniteoke, ʻaia naʻe tomuʻa tuku atu ʻakinaua mei ai ki he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue kuo na fakaʻosi.
26From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.
27Pea kuo na hoko ange, ʻo fakakātoa ʻae siasi, pea na fakamatala ʻaia kotoa pē kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kinaua, mo ʻene fakaava ʻae matapā ʻoe tui ki he ngaahi Senitaile.
27When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28Pea naʻa nau nonofo ai mo e kau ākonga ʻo fuoloa.
28And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
