Ngāue ʻa e Kau ʻApositolo
12 ʻI he taimi nai ko iá, naʻe kamata ke ngaohikoviʻi ai ʻe he tuʻi ko Hēlotá ʻa e faʻahinga ʻe niʻihi ʻi he fakatahaʻangá.+ 2 Naʻá ne fakapoongi ʻa Sēmisi ko e tokoua ʻo Sioné+ ʻaki ʻa e heletā.+ 3 ʻI heʻene vakai naʻe leleiʻia ai ʻa e kau Siú, naʻá ne hoko atu foki ʻo puke mo Pita. (Naʻe hoko eni lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e Mā Taʻelēvaní.)+ 4 Naʻá ne puke ia ʻo ne fakahū pilīsone,+ peá ne tuku ia ke leʻohi taufetongi tuʻo fā ʻe ha kau sōtia naʻe tautau toko fā, ʻi he fakataumuʻa ke ʻomi ia ki tuʻa ki he* ʻao ʻo e kakaí ʻi he hili ʻa e Pāsová.* 5 Lolotonga hono tauhi ʻa Pita ʻi he pilīsoné, naʻe fai ʻe he fakatahaʻangá ha lotu lahi maʻana.+
6 ʻI he teu ʻa Hēlota ke tuku mai iá, ko e pō ko iá naʻe mohe ai ʻa Pita kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻa e ongo sēini ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha ongo sōtia ʻe toko ua, pea naʻe ʻi muʻa ʻi he matapaá ha ongo kaʻate ʻo na leʻohi ʻa e pilīsoné. 7 Kae vakai, naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová,*+ pea naʻe ulo mai ha maama ki he loki pilīsoné. ʻI hono tātaaʻi atu ʻa Pita ʻi hono tuʻá, naʻá ne fafangu ia, ʻo ne pehē: “Tuʻu ke vave!” Pea naʻe homo ʻa e ongo sēiní mei hono nimá.+ 8 Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate ia: “Teuteu* pea tui ho senitoló.” Naʻá ne fai ia. Peá ne toki pehē ange leva kiate ia: “Tui ho kofu tuʻá, pea muimui mai ai pē ʻiate au.” 9 Pea naʻá ne hū ki tuʻa ʻo ne muimui ai pē ʻiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻāngeló naʻe moʻoni. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe fakakaukau ia naʻá ne mata vīsone. 10 ʻI heʻena fakalaka ʻi he ʻuluaki kulupu leʻó mo hono uá, naʻá na aʻu atu ki he matapā ukamea ʻoku hū atu ai ki he koló, pea naʻe ava mai eni ʻiate ia pē kiate kinaua. ʻI he hili ʻena hū ki tuʻá, naʻá na ʻalu ʻi ha hala ʻe taha, pea ʻi he taimi pē ko iá naʻe mavahe leva ʻa e ʻāngeló meiate ia. 11 Pea ko Pita, ʻi heʻene mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó, naʻá ne pehē: “Ko ʻeku toki ʻiloʻi moʻoni eni naʻe fekau mai ʻe Sihova* ʻene ʻāngeló ʻo ne fakahaofi au mei he nima ʻo Hēlotá pea mei he meʻa kotoa naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa e kau Siú ʻe hoko kiate aú.”+
12 ʻI he hili ʻene mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻá ni, naʻá ne ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sione ʻa ia naʻe ui ko Maʻaké,+ ʻa ia naʻe tokotokolahi ai ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe fakatahataha ai ʻo lotu. 13 ʻI heʻene tukituki ʻi he matapā hūʻangá, naʻe haʻu ha taʻahine kaunanga ko hono hingoá ko Lota ke vakai pe ko hai. 14 ʻI heʻene fakatokangaʻi ʻa e leʻo ʻo Pitá, naʻá ne fuʻu fiefia lahi ʻo ʻikai ai te ne fakaava ʻa e matapaá, ka ne lele ki loto ʻo fakahā ko Pita ē ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he matapaá. 15 Naʻa nau pehē ki he taʻahiné: “ʻOkú ke sesele.” Ka naʻá ne kīkīvoi atu pē ʻo pehē ko ʻene moʻoni. Naʻe kamata ke nau pehē: “Ko ha ʻāngelo ia.” 16 Ka naʻe kei tuʻu pē ai ʻa Pita, ʻo tukituki. ʻI heʻenau fakaava ʻa e matapaá, naʻa nau sio kiate ia pea nau ofoofo. 17 Ka naʻá ne fakaʻilonga atu ʻaki hono nimá kiate kinautolu ke nau fakalongolongo hifo peá ne fakamatala fakaikiiki ange kiate kinautolu ʻa e anga hono ʻomi ia ki tuʻa ʻe Sihova* mei he pilīsoné, pea naʻá ne pehē: “Fakahā ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kia Sēmisi+ pea mo e fanga tokouá.” ʻI he meʻa ko iá naʻá ne ʻalu atu leva ʻo ne fononga ki ha feituʻu ʻe taha.
18 Pea ʻi heʻene ʻaho haké, naʻe hoko ha fuʻu vālau ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau sōtiá pe ko e hā koā kuo hoko kia Pitá. 19 Naʻe kumi tōtōivi kiate ia ʻa Hēlota, pea ʻi he ʻikai ke maʻu iá, naʻá ne fakaʻekeʻeke ʻa e kau kaʻaté pea tuʻutuʻuni ke taki atu kinautolu ʻo tautea;+ pea naʻá ne ʻalu hifo mei Siutea ki Sesalia ʻo nofo ai ʻi ha taimi.
20 Pea naʻá ne loto-ʻita ki he* kakai ʻo Tāia mo Saitoní. Ko ia naʻa nau omi kiate ia mo e fakakaukau pē ʻe taha, pea ʻi he hili ʻenau fakalotoʻi ʻa Palasito, ko e tangata naʻe pule ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi he fale ʻo e tuʻí,* naʻa nau kole ki ha melino, koeʻuhi ko honau fonuá naʻa nau ʻomai ʻenau meʻakaí mei he fonua ʻo e tuʻí. 21 ʻI ha ʻaho ne kotofa, naʻe tui ʻe Hēlota ʻa hono kofu fakatuʻí peá ne nofo hifo ʻi he nofoʻanga fakamāú ʻo ne kamata fai ha lea ki he kakaí. 22 Naʻe kamata leva ke kalanga ʻa e kakai naʻe fakatahatahá: “Ko e leʻo ʻo ha ʻotua, ʻo ʻikai ʻo ha tangata!” 23 ʻI he taimi pē ko iá naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová,* koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻoatu ʻa e lāngilangí ki he ʻOtuá, pea naʻe keina ia ʻe he ponú ʻo ne mate.
24 Ka ko e folofola ʻa Sihová* naʻe fakautuutu ai pē ʻene tupú mo ʻene mafola atú.+
25 Ko Panepasa+ leva mo Saula, ʻi he hili ʻena fakahoko kakato ʻa e ngāue tokoní ʻi Selusalemá,+ naʻá na foki ʻo nau ō mo Sione,+ ʻa ia naʻe toe ui ko Maʻaké.
