Ngāue ʻa e Kau ʻApositolo
28 ʻI he hili ʻemau hao atú, naʻa mau ʻilo ai ko e motú naʻe ui ko Mēlita.+ 2 Pea ko e kakai ʻo e motú* naʻa nau fakahāhā mai kiate kimautolu ha manavaʻofa makehe atu. Naʻa nau tafu ha afi pea nau anga-lelei ʻo talitali kimautolu kotoa koeʻuhi ko e ʻuha naʻe toó pea koeʻuhi ko e momokó. 3 Ka ʻi hono tufi mai ʻe Paula ha haʻinga ʻakau ʻo ne ʻai ki he afí, naʻe haʻu ai ki tuʻa ha ngata huhu kona koeʻuhi ko e velá ʻo ne uʻu mo piki maʻu ʻi hono nimá. 4 ʻI hono fakatokangaʻi atu ʻe he kakai ʻo e motú ʻa e ngata huhu koná ʻoku tāupe mai ʻi hono nimá, naʻe kamata ke nau fepehēʻaki: “ʻOku pau pē ko e tangatá ni ko ha tokotaha fakapō, pea neongo kuó ne hao mei he tahí, naʻe ʻikai fakaʻatā ia ʻe Fakamaau Totonu* ke ne kei moʻui atu.” 5 Kae kehe, naʻá ne tupeʻi ʻa e ngatá ki he afí pea naʻe ʻikai hoko ha kovi kiate ia. 6 Ka naʻa nau ʻamanaki te ne fefulofulai pe tō fakafokifā hifo ʻo mate. ʻI he hili ʻenau tatali ʻo fuoloa atu pea nau sio kuo ʻikai ha kovi ʻe hoko kiate iá, naʻe liliu ʻenau fakakaukaú pea nau kamata pehē ko ha ʻotua ia.
7 Pea ʻi he feituʻu takatakai ko iá naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi konga kelekele ʻo e tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo e motú, ko hono hingoá ko Pōpiliō, pea naʻá ne talitali lelei mo tauhi anga-talitali kakai kimautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu. 8 Pea ko e tamai ʻa Pōpilioó naʻe tokoto ko e puke ʻi he mofí mo e tuʻu-totó, pea naʻe hū atu ʻa Paula kiate ia ʻo ne fai ha lotu, pea hilifaki hono nimá kiate ia, ʻo ne fakamoʻui ia.+ 9 ʻI he hili ʻa e hoko ʻa e meʻá ni, ko e toenga ko ia ʻo e kakai ʻi he motú ʻa ia naʻa nau puké naʻe kamata foki ke nau haʻu kiate ia ke fakamoʻui kinautolu.+ 10 Naʻa nau toe fai ha tokanga makehe kiate kimautolu ʻaki hono ʻomi ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa lahi, pea ʻi heʻemau folaú, naʻa nau fakaheka mai ha meʻa pē naʻa mau fiemaʻu.
11 ʻI he māhina ʻe tolu mei ai naʻa mau folau ʻi ha vaka naʻe tuʻu ʻi he taumuʻá ʻa e fakaʻilonga, “Ongo Foha ʻo Siusi.” Ko e vaká naʻe haʻu mei ʻAlekisanitulia pea naʻe lepa ʻi he motú ʻi he taimi momokó. 12 ʻI he tūʻuta ki he taulanga ʻi Sulakusá, naʻa mau nofo ai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu; 13 naʻa mau tukufolau mei ai ʻo mau aʻu ki Lēsio. ʻI he hili ha ʻaho ʻe taha mei ai naʻe kamata ke angi mai ʻa e matangí mei he tongá pea mau tau ai ki Piuteolai ʻi he ʻaho hono uá. 14 ʻI hení naʻa mau maʻu ai ha fanga tokoua pea nau kōlenga mai ke mau nofo mo kinautolu ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea ʻi he hili e nofo mo kinautolú, naʻa mau ʻalu leva ki Loma. 15 ʻI he fanongo ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻi Lomá ki he ngaahi ongoongo fekauʻaki mo kimautolú, naʻa nau haʻu ʻo aʻu mai ki he Faiʻanga Fakatau ko ʻApiasí mo e Fale-Talifononga Tuʻu-Tolú ke feʻiloaki mo kimautolu. ʻI hono fakatokangaʻi atu kinautolú, naʻe fakamālō ʻa Paula ki he ʻOtuá peá ne maʻu ha loto-toʻa.+ 16 ʻI he faifai pea mau hū atu ki Lomá, naʻe fakaʻatā ʻa Paula ke ne nofo pē ʻi hono falé ʻo leʻohi ia ʻe ha sōtia.
17 Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu mei ai naʻá ne ui ke fakatahataha mai ʻa e kau tangata tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo e kau Siú. ʻI heʻenau fakatahataha maí, naʻá ne pehē kiate kinautolu: “Kau tangata, fanga tokoua, neongo naʻe ʻikai te u fai ha meʻa ʻoku fepaki mo e kakaí pe ko e ngaahi anga tukufakaholo ʻa ʻetau fanga kuí,+ naʻe ʻomi au ko ha pōpula mei Selusalema ki he nima ʻo e kau Lomá.+ 18 Pea ʻi he hili hono fai ha fakaʻeké,+ naʻa nau loto ke tuku ange au, he naʻe ʻikai ha ʻuhinga ke tāmateʻi ai au.+ 19 Ka ʻi he ʻikai loto ki ai ʻa e kau Siú, naʻe ueʻi mālohi ai au ke u tangi kia Sisa,+ ka naʻe ʻikai koeʻuhí naʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa ke u talatalaakiʻi ai hoku kakaí. 20 Ko ia ko e ʻuhinga eni naʻá ku kole ai ke u sio mo lea atu kiate kimoutolú, ʻoku takai ʻiate au ʻa e sēini ko ení koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha kuo ʻamanaki ki ai ʻa ʻIsilelí.”+ 21 Naʻa nau pehē ange kiate ia: “Kuo teʻeki ai te mau maʻu ha ngaahi tohi fekauʻaki mo koe mei Siutea, pea kuo teʻeki ai ha taha ʻo e fanga tokoua kuo nau haʻu mei aí te ne fakamatala pe leaʻaki ha meʻa ʻoku kovi fekauʻaki mo koe. 22 Ka ʻoku mau fakakaukau ʻoku totonu ke mau fanongo meiate koe pe ko e hā hoʻo fakakaukaú, he ko hono moʻoní, ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e kulupu lotu mavahe ko ení+ ʻoku mau ʻiloʻi ʻoku fai ʻa e laukovi ki ai ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē.”+
23 Naʻa nau fokotuʻutuʻu leva ki ha ʻaho ke nau fetaulaki ai mo ia, pea naʻa nau haʻu ʻo toe tokolahi ange kiate ia ki hono nofoʻangá. Pea mei he pongipongí ʻo aʻu ki he efiafí naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ai ʻa e meʻá ni kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e fakamoʻoni fakaʻāuliliki fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ke fakatuipauʻi kinautolu fekauʻaki mo Sīsū+ fakatouʻosi mei he Lao ʻa Mōsesé+ pea mo e Kau Palōfitá.+ 24 Naʻe kamata ke tui ʻa e niʻihi ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne leaʻakí; kae ʻikai tui ʻa e niʻihi. 25 Ko ia koeʻuhi naʻa nau felotokehekeheʻaki, naʻe kamata ke nau mavahe, pea naʻe fai ʻe Paula ʻa e lea ko ení:
“Naʻe moʻoni ʻa e lea ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻo fakafou ʻia ʻAisea ko e palōfitá ki hoʻomou fanga kuí, 26 ʻo pehē, ‘ʻAlu peá ke pehē ki he kakaí ni: “Ko e moʻoni te mou fanongo ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou maʻu hono ʻuhingá; pea ko e moʻoni te mou sio ka ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou mahinoʻi.+ 27 He ko e loto ʻo e kakaí ni kuo hoko ʻo ongonoa, pea kuo nau fanongo ʻaki honau telingá kae ʻikai fie fai ha meʻa, pea kuo nau tāpuni honau matá, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa nau sio ʻaki honau matá pea fanongo ʻaki honau telingá ʻo maʻu hono ʻuhingá ʻi honau lotó ʻo nau tafoki peá u fakamoʻui ai kinautolu.”’+ 28 Ko ia tuku ke mou ʻilo ko e fakamoʻui ko ʻeni mei he ʻOtuá kuo talaki ia ki he ngaahi puleʻangá;+ te nau fanongo moʻoni ki ai.”+ 29 *——
