Ngāue 18
1After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
1PEA hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula ʻi ʻAtenisi, pea aʻu atu ki Kolinitō;
2And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. And he went to see them,
2Pea naʻa ne ʻilo ʻi ai ha Siu naʻe hingoa ko ʻAkuila, naʻe fanauʻi ʻi Ponito, kuo toki haʻu mei ʻItali, mo hono ʻunoho ko Pisila; (he naʻe fekau ʻe Kalotiusi ke ʻalu ʻi Loma ʻae kakai Siu kotoa pē:) pea ne ʻalu ia kiate kinaua.
3and because he was of the same trade he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
3Pea koeʻuhi naʻa nau faiva taha, ko ia naʻa ne nofo mo kinaua, ʻo ngāue: he ko ʻenau faiva ko e ngaohi fale fehikitaki.
4And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and tried to persuade Jews and Greeks.
4Pea naʻe ako ia ʻi he falelotu, ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē, pea ne fakatafoki ʻae Siu mo e Kiliki.
5When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
5Pea kuo haʻu ʻa Sailosi mo Timote mei Masitōnia, pea māfasia ʻa Paula ʻi hono loto, pea fakapapau atu ʻe ia ki he kakai Siu ko e Kalaisi ʻa Sisu.
6And when they opposed and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
6Pea ʻi heʻenau fakatanga, mo lea kovi, naʻa ne tupeʻi hono kofu, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ke ʻi homou ʻulu pē ʻa homou toto; ʻoku ou maʻa au: ngata mei heni, te u ʻalu ki he Senitaile.”
7And he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God. His house was next door to the synagogue.
7Pea ne ne ʻalu mei ai, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo ha tangata, naʻe hingoa ko Susitasa, naʻe lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe vāofi hono fale mo e falelotu.
8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with his entire household. And many of the Corinthians hearing Paul believed and were baptized.
8Pea naʻe tui ki he ʻEiki ʻa Kalisipo, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo hono fale kotoa pē; pea naʻe fanongo mo tui ʻae kakai Kolinitō tokolahi, pea naʻe papitaiso ʻakinautolu.
9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision,“Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent,
9Pea folofola ai ʻae ʻEiki kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ka ke lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;
10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.”
10He ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa fai ha kovi kiate koe; he ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he kolo ni.”
11And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
11Pea naʻa ne nofo ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha pea mo e māhina ʻe ono, ʻo ne ako ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him before the tribunal,
12Ka ʻi he pule ʻa Kalio ʻi ʻAkeia, naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau feʻohofi kia Paula, pea taki ia ki he potu fakamaau,
13saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God contrary to the law.”
13Mo nau pehē, “ʻOku ako ʻe he siana ni ke lotu ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai hangē ko e fono.”
14But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, I would have reason to accept your complaint.
14Pea kuo fai ʻe Paula ke ne lea, pea pehē ʻe Kalio ki he kakai Siu, “ʻAe kakai Siu, ka ne ko ha meʻa taʻetotonu pe pauʻu kuo fai, pehē ʻe taau mo au ke u tokanga kiate kimoutolu:
15But since it is a matter of questions about words and names and your own law, see to it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of these things.”
15Pea kapau ko e fakakikihi ʻi he lea mo e hingoa, mo hoʻomou fono pē, mou tokanga ʻakimoutolu ki ai; ʻe ʻikai te u fakamaau ʻeau ʻae meʻa pehē.”
16And he drove them from the tribunal.
16Pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he potu fakamaau.
17And they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the tribunal. But Gallio paid no attention to any of this.
17Pea naʻe toki puke ʻe he Kiliki kotoa pē ʻa Sositine, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo nau tautea ia ʻi he potu fakamaau. Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Kalio ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
18After this, Paul stayed many days longer and then took leave of the brothers and set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila. At Cenchreae he had cut his hair, for he was under a vow.
18Pea naʻe kei nofo ai ʻa Paula ʻo fuoloa, pea toki māvae ia mo e kāinga, ʻo ne folau mei ai ki Silia, pea naʻe ō mo ia ʻa Pisila mo ʻAkuila; kuo tomuʻa fafai hono ʻulu ʻi Senikelea: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fuakava.
19And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
19Pea naʻa ne aʻu atu ki ʻEfesō, pea ne tuku ai ʻakinaua: pea ʻalu ia ki he falelotu, ʻo malanga ki he kakai Siu.
20When they asked him to stay for a longer period, he declined.
20Pea ʻi heʻenau kole ke nau nonofo ʻo fuoloa siʻi, naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai;
21But on taking leave of them he said, “I will return to you if God wills,” and he set sail from Ephesus.
21Ka naʻe lea māvae ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku mātuʻaki totonu ʻeku ʻalu ki he kātoanga ʻoku ʻamanaki ni ʻi Selūsalema: ka te u toe haʻu kiate kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe lelei ki he ʻOtua.” Pea naʻe folau ia mei ʻEfesō.
22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.
22Pea kuo tūʻuta ia ki Sesalia, pea ʻalu hake ia, ʻonau feʻofoʻofani mo e siasi, pea ʻalu hifo ia ki ʻAniteoke.
23After spending some time there, he departed and went from one place to the next through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
23Pea kuo fuoloa ange ʻene nofo ai, pea ʻalu ia, ʻo fononga ʻi he potu kotoa pē ʻo Kalētia mo Filisia, ʻo tokoni ʻae kau ākonga kotoa pē.
24Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures.
24Pea naʻe haʻu ki ʻEfesō ʻae Siu ʻe tokotaha naʻe hingoa ko ʻApolosi, naʻe fanauʻi ia ʻi ʻAlekisānitia, ko e tangata lea mālie ia, pea poto lahi ʻi he ngaahi tohi.
25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
25Pea kuo akonekina ʻae tangata ni ʻi he hala ʻoe ʻEiki; pea ʻi heʻene loto fai velenga, naʻa ne lea mo ako lahi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻEiki, ka kuo ʻilo pe ʻe ia ʻae papitaiso ʻa Sione.
26He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
26Pea naʻe kamata lea mālohi ia ʻi he falelotu: pea kuo fanongo ki ai ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pisila, naʻa na maʻu ia, ʻo na fakamatala kiate ia ʻo lahi ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua.
27And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,
27Pea kuo loto ia ke ʻalu ki ʻAkeia, naʻe tohi ʻe he kāinga, ʻo enginaki ki he kau ākonga ke nau maʻu ia: pea kuo aʻu atu ia ki ai, pea ne tokoni lahi ʻakinautolu kuo nau tui ʻi he ʻaloʻofa:
28for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.
28He naʻe fakakikihi mālohi ia mo e kakai Siu, ʻi he fakahā, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni mei he ngaahi tohi ko Sisu ko e Kalaisi.
