Ngāue 16
1Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.
1PEA toki aʻu atu ia ki Teape mo Lisita: pea vakai, naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ākonga ʻe tokotaha, ko Timote hono hingoa, ko e tama ʻae fefine Siu, naʻe tui ka ko ʻene tamai ko e Kiliki:
2He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium.
2Pea naʻe fakaongolelei ia ʻe he kāinga ʻi Lisita mo ʻIkoniume.
3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3Pea naʻe loto ʻa Paula ke na ō mo ia; pea ne ʻave ʻo kamu ia, koeʻuhi ko e kakai Siu naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu ko ia: he naʻa nau ʻilo kotoa pē ko ʻene tamai ko e Kiliki.
4As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
4Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi kolo, naʻa nau tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fono ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa ʻi Selūsalema, ke nau fai.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.
5Pea naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi siasi ʻi he tui, pea naʻe fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
6And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Filisia mo e fonua ko Kalētia ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ke ʻoua naʻa nau malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi ʻEsia,
7And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
7Hili ʻenau aʻu ki Misia, naʻa nau fai kenau ō ki Pitinia: ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.
8So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.
8Pea kuo tukuange ʻa Misia, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki Taloasi.
9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
9Pea naʻe hā mai ha meʻa kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli; naʻe tuʻu mai ʻae tangata Masitōnia, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ki Masitōnia, ʻo tokoni mai kiate kimautolu.”
10And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
10Pea hili ʻene mamata ki he meʻa hā mai, naʻa mau ʻahiʻahi ke ō leva ki Masitōnia, pea mau mātuʻaki ʻilo loto kuo ui ʻe he ʻEiki ke mau malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kinautolu.
11So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,
11Pea kuo mau tuku folau mei Taloasi, pea mau lā taha ki Samotesia, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Neapoli;
12and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.
12Pea mei ai ki Filipai, ʻaia ko e kolo lahi ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo Masitōnia, pea ko e kolo fakaLoma: pea naʻa mau nofo ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.
13And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
13Pea naʻa mau ʻalu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ki he tuaʻā kolo ki he veʻe vaitafe, ko e potu naʻe faʻa fai ai ʻae lotu; pea naʻa mau nonofo, ʻo lea ki he kau fefine naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai.
14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
14Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae tokotaha, ko e fefine naʻe fakatau meʻa kulokula, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Litea, pea ko e faʻa lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, mei he kolo ko Taiataila; pea naʻe matala ʻe he ʻEiki hono loto, ke ne tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula.
15And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
15Pea kuo papitaiso ia, mo hono fale, pea ne kole, ʻo pehē mai, “Kapau ʻoku mou pehē moʻoni, ʻoku ou tui moʻoni ki he ʻEiki, mou haʻu ki hoku fale, ʻo nofo ai.” Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ʻakimautolu.
16As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.
16Pea pehē, ʻi heʻemau ʻalu ange ki he lotu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu ha taʻahine kaunanga naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae laumālie kikite, pea naʻe lahi ʻae koloa naʻe maʻu ʻe heʻene kau matāpule ʻiate ia, ʻi heʻene kikite loi;
17She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.”
17Ko ia ia naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo kimautolu, ʻo pehē ʻene kalanga, “Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata ni ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, pea ʻoku nau fakahā mai kiate kitautolu ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui.”
18And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.
18Pea ʻaho lahi mo ʻene fai pehē pe. Pea kuo mamahi ai ʻa Paula, pea tafoki ia ki mui, ʻo ne pehē ki he laumālie, “ʻOku ou fekau kiate koe, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻiate ia.” Pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pē ko ia.
19But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
19Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe heʻene kau matāpule kuo ʻosi ai ʻenau maʻumeʻa, pea nau puke ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, ʻo toho ki he potu fakatau, ki he kau fakamaau,
20And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.
20Pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he kau pule, mo nau pehē, “Ko e Siu ʻae ongo tangata ni, pea ʻoku na veuveuki lahi ʻetau kolo,
21They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.”
21ʻo na ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau tui ki ai, pe fai, he ko e kakai Loma ʻakitautolu.”
22The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.
22Pea feʻohofi ʻae kakai kiate kinaua: pea naʻe haehae honau kofu ʻe he kau pule, mo fekau ke haha ʻakinaua.
23And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.
23Pea ʻosi ʻenau haha ʻo lahi ʻakinaua, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula, mo nau fekau ki he leʻo ke ne leʻohi maʻu ʻakinaua:
24Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
24Pea ʻi heʻene maʻu ʻae fekau ko ia, naʻa ne fakahū ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula ʻi loto, pea ne fakamaʻu hona vaʻe ki he ʻakau.
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
25Pea ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie, naʻe lotu mo hiva fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kau pōpula kiate kinaua.
26and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened.
26Pea fakafokifā naʻe ai ʻae mofuike lahi, ʻaia naʻe ngaueue ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale fakapōpula: pea naʻe ava leva ʻae matapā kotoa pē, pea movete ʻae haʻi ʻonautolu taki taha kotoa pē.
27When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
27Pea ʻi he ʻā ʻae leʻo ʻoe fale fakapōpula mei heʻene mohe, pea ne mamata kuo ava ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, naʻa ne unuhi ʻae heletā ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia, he naʻa ne mahalo kuo feholaki ʻae kau pōpula.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.”
28Ka naʻe kalanga ʻaki ʻe Paula ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ke fai ha kovi kiate koe: he ʻoku mau kātoa ʻi heni.”
29And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.
29Pea naʻe toki ui ʻe ia ke ʻomi ha maama, pea ʻoho ia ki loto, pea haʻu tetetete, ʻo fakatōmapeʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Paula mo Sailosi,
30Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30ʻO ne ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, mo ne pehē, “Ongo ʻeiki, ko e hā te u fai ke u moʻui ai?”
31And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31Pea naʻa na pehē, “Tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea te ke moʻui, mo ho fale.”
32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
32Pea ne na leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻEiki kiate ia, mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻi hono fale.
33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
33Pea naʻa ne ʻave ʻakinaua, ʻo fufulu hona lavea ʻi he feituʻupō pe ko ia; pea naʻe papitaiso ia, pea mo hono fale kotoa pē.
34Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.
34Pea kuo ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ki hono fale, pea ne tuku ʻae meʻakai kiate kinaua, pea fiefia ia, mo ne tui ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia mo hono fale kotoa pē.
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.”
35Pea pongipongi ai, naʻe fekau ʻe he kau pule ʻae kau tangata fekau, ke nau pehē, “Tuku ke ō ʻae ongo tangata na.”
36And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace.”
36Pea tala atu ia ʻe he leʻo ʻoe fale fakapōpula kia Paula, “Kuo fekau mai ʻe he kau pule ke tukuange ʻakimoua pea ko ia ke mo ō, pea ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.”
37But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out.”
37Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Paula kiate kinautolu, “Ko e ongo Loma ʻakimaua, pea kuo nau haha fakahā mo taʻefakamaau ʻakimaua, mo lī ki he fale fakapōpula: pea ʻoku nau kapusi fakafufū eni ʻakimaua? ʻE ʻikai; kae haʻu pē ʻakinautolu ʻo ʻave ʻakimaua kituʻa.”
38The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.
38Pea naʻe tala ʻe he kau tangata fekau ʻae lea ni ki he kau pule: pea naʻa nau manavahē ʻi heʻenau fanongo ko e ongo Loma ʻakinaua.
39So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.
39Pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo kole kiate kinaua, mo ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa, pea kole ke na ō ʻi he kolo.
40So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
40Pea naʻa na omi mei he fale fakapōpula, ʻo na ō kia Litea: pea hili ʻenau feʻiloaki mo e kāinga, mo fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu, naʻa na fononga atu.
