Ngāue 21
1And when we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
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:
2And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
2Pea ʻi heʻemau ʻilo ʻae vaka ʻoku folau ki Finesi, naʻa mau heka ai, ʻo ʻalu.
3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo.
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.
4And having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days. And through the Spirit they were telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
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.
5When our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed
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 ʻunoho mo ʻenau fānau: pea naʻa mau tuʻulutui ʻi he matātahi, ʻo lotu.
6and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.
6Pea kuo mau māvae mo kinautolu, pea mau heka ki vaka; kae foki ʻakinautolu ki honau ʻapi.
7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for one day.
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.
8On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
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.
9He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.
9Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻae ʻofefine tāupoʻou ʻe toko fā, pea naʻe kikite ʻakinautolu.
10While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
10Pea ʻi heʻemau nofo ʻo ʻaho lahi ai, naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Siutea ʻae palōfita ʻe tokotaha, ʻoku hingoa ko ʻAkapusi.
11And coming to us, he took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
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.”
12When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
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.
13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
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.”
14And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
14Pea ʻi he ʻikai tui mai ia, naʻa mau tuku, ʻo mau pehē, “Ke fai pe ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki.”
15After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
15Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea mau fakamaʻopoʻopo meʻa, ʻo fononga hake ki Selūsalema.
16And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing us to the house of Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
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.
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
17Pea kuo mau ʻalu atu ki Selūsalema, naʻe maʻu fiefia ʻakimautolu ʻe he kāinga.
18On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
18Pea pongipongi hake, naʻa mau ō mo Paula kia Semisi; pea naʻe kātoa ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē.
19After greeting them, he related one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
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.
20And when they heard it, they glorified God. And they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed. They are all zealous for the law,
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:
21and they have been told about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or walk according to our customs.
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.
22What then is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.
22Pea ko e hā ai ʻe fai? koeʻuhi ʻe kātoa mai ʻae fuʻu kakai: he tenau fanongo kuo ke haʻu.
23Do therefore what we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;
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;
24take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses, so that they may shave their heads. Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself also live in observance of the law.
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.
25But as for the Gentiles who have believed, we have sent a letter with our judgment that they should abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
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.”
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day he purified himself along with them and went into the temple, giving notice when the days of purification would be fulfilled and the offering presented for each one of them.
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.
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
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,
28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place.”
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.”
29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
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.)
30Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
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.
31And as they were seeking to kill him, word came to the tribune of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
31Pea ʻi heʻenau fai ke fakapoongi ia, naʻe haʻu hono tala ki he pule ʻoe kau tau, kuo maveuveu ʻa Selūsalema kotoa pē.
32He at once took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
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.
33Then the tribune came up and arrested him and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He inquired who he was and what he had done.
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.
34Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, some another. And as he could not learn the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
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.
35And when he came to the steps, he was actually carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd,
35Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he hala ki ʻolunga, naʻe fua hake ia ʻe he kau tau, he kuo feʻohofi mai ʻae kakai.
36for the mob of the people followed, crying out, “Away with him!”
36He naʻe muimui ʻae fuʻu kakai, mo nau kalangaekina, Ke ʻave ia.
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
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?”
38Are you not the Egyptian, then, who recently stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?”
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?”
39Paul replied, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. I beg you, permit me to speak to the people.”
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.”
40And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the steps, motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great hush, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
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,
