Ngāue 15:2-25

²Pea kuo fai ʻo lahi ʻae fetauʻaki lea mo e fakakikihi ʻa Paula mo Pānepasa mo kinautolu, pea pau honau loto ke ʻalu hake ki Selūsalema ʻa Paula mo Pānepasa, mo honau niʻihi, ki he kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.

³Pea kuo moimoiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he siasi, pea nau ō ʻi Finesi mo Samēlia, ʻonau fakahā ʻae liliu ʻoe Senitaile; pea naʻa nau fakafiefiaʻi ʻo lahi ʻae kāinga kotoa pē.

⁴Pea ʻi heʻenau hoko ki Selūsalema, naʻa nau feʻiloaki mo e siasi mo e kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa, pea na fakahā kotoa pē ʻae meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kinaua.

⁵Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae niʻihi ʻoku tui ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoe Fālesi, ʻonau pehē, “ʻOku totonu ke kamu ʻakinautolu, mo fekau ke fai ki he fono ʻa Mōsese.”

⁶Pea naʻe fakataha ʻae kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa, ke nau fakakaukau ki he meʻa ni.

⁷Pea kuo lahi ʻenau alea, pea tuʻu hake ʻa Pita, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kau tangata ko e kāinga, ʻoku mou ʻilo kuo fuoloange ʻae fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kitautolu, ke fanongo ʻi hoku ngutu ʻe he ngaahi Senitaile ki he lea ʻoe ongoongolelei, pea tui.

⁸Pea ko e ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae loto, naʻa ne fakamoʻoni ʻakinautolu, ʻo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻo hangē ko kitautolu;

⁹Pea naʻe ʻikai fai kehekehe kiate kitautolu mo kinautolu, ʻo ne fakamaʻa honau loto ʻi he tui.

¹⁰Pea ko eni, ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahi ai ki he ʻOtua, ke ʻai ki he kia ʻoe kau ākonga ʻae haʻamo, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa kātakiʻi ʻe heʻetau mātuʻa pē ko kitautolu?

¹¹Ka ʻoku tau pehē, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa pē ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻe moʻui ʻakitautolu, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu.”

¹²Pea naʻe toki fakalongo ʻae fakataha kotoa pē, ke fakafanongo ki he fakamatala ʻa Pānepasa mo Paula, ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻiate kinaua ki he ngaahi Senitaile.

¹³Pea ʻi he tuku ʻena fakamatala, naʻe lea ʻa Semisi, ʻo pehē, “ʻAe kau tangata mo e kāinga, fanongo mai kiate au:

¹⁴Kuo fakahā ʻe Saimone ʻae muʻaki ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua ki he kakai Senitaile, ke ne maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ha kakai koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.

¹⁵Pea ʻoku tatau mo ia ʻae lea ʻae kau palōfita; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi,

¹⁶‘Pea hili ia te u liliu mai, ʻo toe langa ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻo Tevita, ʻaia kuo hinga; pea te u toe langa hono potu naʻe maumau, pea te u fokotuʻu ia:

¹⁷Koeʻuhi ke kumi ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai ʻoku toe, pea mo e Senitaile kotoa pē, ʻoku takua ki ai hoku hingoa, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki, ʻaia ʻoku ne fai ʻae meʻa ni kotoa pē.

¹⁸‌ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻene ngāue kotoa pē talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani.’

¹⁹“Pea ko eni, ko hoku loto, ke ʻoua naʻa tau fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu kuo fakatafoki ki he ʻOtua mei he ngaahi Senitaile:

²⁰Ka ke tau tohi kiate kinautolu, ke nau fakamamaʻo mei he fakalielia ʻoe ngaahi tamapua, mo e feʻauaki, mo e meʻa kuo sisina, mo e toto.

²¹He ʻoku ai ʻi he kolo kotoa pē, talu mei muʻa, ʻakinautolu ʻoku malangaʻaki ʻa Mōsese, pea nau lau ia ʻi he ngaahi falelotu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate kotoa pē.”

²²Pea naʻe lelei ki he kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa, pea mo e siasi kotoa pē, ke fili meiate kinautolu mo fekau atu ha ongo tangata, ke nau ō mo Paula mo Pānepasa ki ʻAniteoke; ko Siutasi ʻoku hingoa ko Pasapa, mo Sailosi, ko e ongo tangata takimuʻa ʻi he kāinga:

²³Pea naʻa nau fai ʻae tohi ke nau ʻave; ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa pea mo e kāinga, ʻoku mau ʻofa atu ki he kāinga Senitaile ʻi ʻAniteoke mo Silia mo Silisia:

²⁴Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻemau fanongo kuo fakamamahiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea, pea fakamaveuveuʻi homou loto, ʻe ha niʻihi, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻiate kimautolu, ʻi heʻenau pehē, Ke mou kamu, mo fai ki he fono: ka naʻe ʻikai te mau fekau kiate kinautolu:

²⁵Kuo hā lelei kiate kimautolu, ʻi heʻemau fakataha ʻo loto taha, ke fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae ongo tangata kuo fili, mo homau kāinga ʻofeina ko Pānepasa mo Paula,
