King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea pehē, kuo mau māvae mo kinautolu, pea mau folau, ʻo mau lā taha ki Kusa, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Lota, pea mei ai ki Patala:
1And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2Pea ʻi heʻemau ʻilo ʻae vaka ʻoku folau ki Finesi, naʻa mau heka ai, ʻo ʻalu.
2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3Pea ʻi heʻemau kite ki Saipalo, naʻa mau tuku ia ki he toʻohema, kae folau ki Silia, pea mau tūʻuta ki Taia: he ko e potu ia ke hifo ai ʻae uta ʻae vaka.
3Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4Pea naʻa mau ʻilo ai ʻae kau ākonga, pea mau nonofo ʻo ʻaho fitu: pea naʻa nau pehē kia Paula ʻi he Laumālie, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema.
4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻa mau ʻalu ʻo fononga ʻi homau hala; pea naʻe moimoiʻi ʻakimautolu ki he tuaʻā kolo ʻekinautolu kotoa pē, mo honau uaifi mo ʻenau fānau: pea naʻa mau tuʻulutui ʻi he matātahi, ʻo lotu.
5And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6Pea kuo mau māvae mo kinautolu, pea mau heka ki vaka; kae foki ʻakinautolu ki honau ʻapi.
6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7Pea ne mau folau mei Taia ki Tolimease, pea ngata ai ʻemau folau, pea naʻa mau feʻiloaki mo e kāinga, pea mau nonofo mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho pe taha.
7And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8Pea pongipongi hake, ko kimautolu ʻae kau fononga ʻo Paula, naʻa mau ʻalu, ʻo aʻu atu ki Sesalia: pea mau hū ki he fale ʻo Filipe ko e ʻevangeliō, ko e tokotaha ia ʻi he toko fitu; pea naʻa mau nonofo mo ia.
8And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻae ʻofefine tāupoʻou ʻe toko fā, pea naʻe kikite ʻakinautolu.
9And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10Pea ʻi heʻemau nofo ʻo ʻaho lahi ai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Siutea ʻae palōfita ʻe tokotaha, ʻoku hingoa ko ʻAkapusi.
10And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11Pea kuo haʻu ia kiate kimautolu, pea ne toʻo ʻae noʻo ʻo Paula, ʻo ne haʻi ʻaki hono nima mo hono vaʻe ʻoʻona pē, mo ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻE pehē hono haʻisia ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi Selūsalema ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻae noʻo ni, ʻonau tuku ia ki he nima ʻoe Senitaile.”
11And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12Pea ko kimautolu naʻa mau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni, mo kinautolu ʻoe potu ko ia, naʻa mau kole ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ia ki Selūsalema.
12And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “Ko e hā eni ʻoku mou fai, ʻo fetāngihi ke fasi ai hoku loto? He ʻoku ou te u ke ʻoua ʻe haʻisia pē, kae mate foki ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi ko e huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.”
13Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14Pea ʻi he ʻikai tui mai ia, naʻa mau tuku, ʻo mau pehē, “Ke fai pe ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki.”
14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mau fakamaʻopoʻopo meʻa, ʻo fononga hake ki Selūsalema.
15And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16Pea naʻa mau ō mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau ākonga mei Sesalia, pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻakimautolu kia Nesoni mei Saipalo, ko e ākonga motuʻa, ke mau nonofo mo ia.
16There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17Pea kuo mau ʻalu atu ki Selūsalema, naʻe maʻu fiefia ʻakimautolu ʻe he kāinga.
17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18Pea pongipongi hake, naʻa mau ō mo Paula kia Semisi; pea naʻe kātoa ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē.
18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19Pea kuo ne feʻiloaki mo kinautolu, pea ne fakamatala lahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he kakai Senitaile ʻi heʻene ngāue.
19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, pea nau fakamālō ki he ʻEiki, mo nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vakai, ʻe kāinga, ki he ngaahi toko mano ʻoe kakai Siu ʻoku tui; pea ʻoku nau pikitai kotoa pē ki he fono:
20And when they heard it , they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21Pea kuo nau fanongo kiate koe, ʻoku ke ako ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē ʻoku feangai mo e hiteni ke nau liʻaki ʻa Mōsese, ʻo pehē, ke ʻoua ʻe kamu ʻenau tamaiki, pe muimui ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo tuʻutuʻuni.
21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22Pea ko e hā ai ʻe fai? koeʻuhi ʻe kātoa mai ʻae fuʻu kakai: he tenau fanongo kuo ke haʻu.
22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23Ko eni, ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku mau tala atu kiate koe: ʻOku ʻiate kimautolu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko fā kuo nau fai ʻae fuakava;
23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24Pea ke ʻave ʻakinautolu, pea mou fakamaʻa mo kinautolu, pea ke totongi maʻanautolu, ka nau fafai honau ʻulu: pea ʻe ʻilo ai kotoa pē, ko e ngaahi meʻa kuo nau fanongo ai kiate koe, ko e launoa pē; ka ʻoku ke angimui koe, mo ke fai ki he fono.
24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25Pea koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi Senitaile ʻoku tui, kuo mau fakamaau mo tohi ke ʻoua te nau fai meʻa pehē, ka ke nau taʻofi ʻakinautolu mei he meʻa kuo feilaulau ʻaki ki he ngaahi tamapua, mo e toto, mo e meʻa kuo sisina, pea mo e feʻauaki.”
25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26Pea naʻe toki ʻave ʻe Paula ʻae kau tangata, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi, ne ne fakamaʻa ia mo kinautolu, pea ne hū ia ki he falelotu lahi, ke fakahā ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe fakamaʻa, kaeʻoua ke fai ha feilaulau maʻanautolu taki taha kotoa pē.
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27Pea kuo tei kakato ʻae ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea ko e kau Siu mei ʻEsia, ʻi heʻenau mamata kiate ia ʻi he falelotu lahi, naʻa nau ueʻi ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo puke ia,
27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28Mo nau kalanga, ʻo pehē , “ʻAe kau tangata ʻIsileli, tokoni mai: Ko eni ʻae tangata, ʻoku ne ako kovi ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻi he potu fulipē ki he kakai ni, mo e fono, mo e potu ni: pea kuo ʻomi foki ʻe ia ʻae kau Kiliki ki he falelotu lahi, pea kuo ne ʻuliʻi ʻae potu tapu ni.”
28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29(He kuo nau tomuʻa mamata kiate ia mo Talofimo mei ʻEfesō ʻi he kolo, pea naʻa nau mahalo kuo ʻomi ia ʻe Paula ki he falelotu lahi.)
29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30Pea naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo kotoa pē, ko e feleleʻi ʻae kakai ʻo fakataha: pea naʻa nau puke ʻa Paula, mo toho ia mei he falelotu lahi: pea tāpuni leva ʻae ngaahi matapā.
30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31Pea ʻi heʻenau fai ke fakapoongi ia, naʻe haʻu hono tala ki he pule ʻoe kau tau, kuo maveuveu ʻa Selūsalema kotoa pē.
31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32Pea ʻave leva ʻe ia ʻae kautau mo e kau ʻeikitau, pea nau feleleʻi hifo kiate kinautolu: pea kuo nau mamata ki he pule mo e kau tau, naʻe tuku ʻenau haha ʻa Paula.
32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33Pea toki ʻalu atu ʻo ofi ʻae pule ʻoe tau, pea ne puke ia, mo ne fekau ke haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae ukamea fihifihi ʻe ua; mo ne fehuʻi pe ko hai ia, pea ko e hā ʻae meʻa kuo ne fai.
33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34Pea fekalangaʻi ʻe he kakai ʻaki ʻae meʻa kehekehe: pea ʻi he ʻikai te ne faʻa ʻiloʻi hono moʻoni, ko e meʻa naʻa ne fekau ke ʻave ia ki he fale lahi ʻoe kau tau.
34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he hala ki ʻolunga, naʻe fua hake ia ʻe he kau tau, he kuo feʻohofi mai ʻae kakai.
35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36He naʻe muimui ʻae fuʻu kakai, mo nau kalangaekina, Ke ʻave ia.
36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37Pea ʻi he fai ke tataki ʻa Paula ki he fale lahi ʻoe kau tau, naʻa ne pehē ki he pule ʻoe kau tau, “ʻE lelei ʻeku lea atu kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae lea fakaKiliki?”
37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38ʻIkai ko ʻIsipite ko ia ʻa koe, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu maveuveu ʻi muʻa, mo ne tataki ki he toafa ʻae kau tangata fakapō ʻe toko fā afe?”
38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “Ko e tangata Siu au ʻo Tasusi, ʻi Silisia, ko e tangata au ʻoe kolo ongoongo: pea ʻe, tuku ke u lea atu ki he kakai.”
39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40Pea kuo ne tuku ia ke ne lea , pea tuʻu ʻa Paula ʻi he hala ki ʻolunga, ʻo ne taʻalo ʻaki hono nima ki he kakai. Pea nau fakalongo, naʻa ne lea atu ʻi he lea fakaHepelū, ʻo pehē,
40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
