Ngāue 11
1Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had 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.
2So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying,
2Pea kuo hoko ʻa Pita ki Selūsalema, pea kikihi mo ia ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi he kamu,
3“You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
3“ʻo nau pehē, naʻa ke ʻalu ki he kau tangata taʻekamu, ʻo keinanga mo kinautolu.”
4But Peter began and explained it to them in order:
4Pea fakahā ʻe Pita mei hono tupuʻanga, ʻo fakamatala hokohoko kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down 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:
6Looking at it closely, I observed animals and beasts of prey and reptiles and birds 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 to me,‘Rise, Peter; kill and eat.’
7Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo, ʻoku pehē mai kiate au, ‘Tuʻu, Pita; ʻo tāmateʻi ʻo kai.’
8But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered 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 a second time from heaven,‘What God has made clean, do not call 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.’
10This happened three times, and all was 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, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea.
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 told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered 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 told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called 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;
14he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’
14Pea ʻe fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻe moʻui ai koe mo ho fale kotoa pē..
15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just 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.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
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.’
17If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?”
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 fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to 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.”
19Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.
19Pea 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.
20But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, 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 who believed turned to the Lord.
21Pea naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae nima ʻoe ʻEiki: pea naʻe tui ʻae tokolahi, mo tafoki ki he ʻEiki.
22The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
22Pea 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.
23When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose,
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, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to 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.
25So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
25Pea toki ʻalu ʻa Pānepasa ki Tasusi, ʻo kumi kia Saula:
26and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
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.
27Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
27Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau palōfita, mei Selūsalema, ki ʻAniteoke.
28And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius).
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.
29So the disciples determined, everyone according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
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:
30And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
30Pea naʻa nau fai ia, pea ʻave ia ki he mātuʻa ʻi he nima ʻo Pānepasa mo Saula.
