Ngāue 16:3-27

³Pea naʻe loto ʻa Paula ke na ō mo ia; pea ne ʻave ʻo kamu ia, koeʻuhi ko e kakai Siu naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi potu ko ia: he naʻa nau ʻilo kotoa pē ko ʻene tamai ko e Kiliki.

⁴Pea ʻi heʻenau ʻalu ʻi he ngaahi kolo, naʻa nau tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae fono ʻaia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo mo e mātuʻa ʻi Selūsalema, ke nau fai.

⁵Pea naʻe ʻāsili ai ʻae tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi siasi ʻi he tui, pea naʻe fakatokolahi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.

⁶Pea kuo ʻosi ʻa Filisia mo e fonua ko Kalētia ʻi heʻenau ʻalu, pea naʻe taʻofi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ke ʻoua naʻa nau malangaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻi ʻEsia,

⁷Hili ʻenau aʻu ki Misia, naʻa nau fai kenau ō ki Pitinia: ka naʻe taʻofi ʻakinautolu ʻe he Laumālie.

⁸Pea kuo tukuange ʻa Misia, naʻa nau ʻalu hifo ki Taloasi.

⁹Pea naʻe hā mai ha meʻa kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli; naʻe tuʻu mai ʻae tangata Masitōnia, ʻo kole kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Haʻu ki Masitōnia, ʻo tokoni mai kiate kimautolu.”

¹⁰Pea hili ʻene mamata ki he meʻa hā mai, naʻa mau ʻahiʻahi ke ō leva ki Masitōnia, pea mau mātuʻaki ʻilo loto kuo ui ʻe he ʻEiki ke mau malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kinautolu.

¹¹Pea kuo mau tuku folau mei Taloasi, pea mau lā taha ki Samotesia, pea ʻi he ʻaho naʻa na feholoi ki Neapoli;

¹²Pea mei ai ki Filipai, ʻaia ko e kolo lahi ʻi he potu ko ia ʻo Masitōnia, pea ko e kolo fakaLoma: pea naʻa mau nofo ʻi he kolo ko ia ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.

¹³Pea naʻa mau ʻalu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ki he tuaʻā kolo ki he veʻe vaitafe, ko e potu naʻe faʻa fai ai ʻae lotu; pea naʻa mau nonofo, ʻo lea ki he kau fefine naʻe feʻaluʻaki ai.

¹⁴Pea naʻe fanongo ʻae tokotaha, ko e fefine naʻe fakatau meʻa kulokula, ʻaia naʻe hingoa ko Litea, pea ko e faʻa lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, mei he kolo ko Taiataila; pea naʻe matala ʻe he ʻEiki hono loto, ke ne tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula.

¹⁵Pea kuo papitaiso ia, mo hono fale, pea ne kole, ʻo pehē mai, “Kapau ʻoku mou pehē moʻoni, ʻoku ou tui moʻoni ki he ʻEiki, mou haʻu ki hoku fale, ʻo nofo ai.” Pea naʻa ne fakaafe ʻakimautolu.

¹⁶Pea pehē, ʻi heʻemau ʻalu ange ki he lotu, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate kimautolu ha taʻahine kaunanga naʻe ʻulusino ai ʻae laumālie kikite, pea naʻe lahi ʻae koloa naʻe maʻu ʻe heʻene kau matāpule ʻiate ia, ʻi heʻene kikite loi;

¹⁷Ko ia ia naʻe muimui ʻia Paula mo kimautolu, ʻo pehē ʻene kalanga, “Ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae kau tangata ni ʻae ʻOtua fungani māʻolunga, pea ʻoku nau fakahā mai kiate kitautolu ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui.”

¹⁸Pea ʻaho lahi mo ʻene fai pehē pe. Pea kuo mamahi ai ʻa Paula, pea tafoki ia ki mui, ʻo ne pehē ki he laumālie, “ʻOku ou fekau kiate koe, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke ke ʻalu kituʻa ʻiate ia.” Pea ne ʻalu kituʻa ia ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pē ko ia.

¹⁹Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe heʻene kau matāpule kuo ʻosi ai ʻenau maʻumeʻa, pea nau puke ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, ʻo toho ki he potu fakatau, ki he kau fakamaau,

²⁰Pea ʻomi ʻakinaua ki he kau pule, mo nau pehē, “Ko e Siu ʻae ongo tangata ni, pea ʻoku na veuveuki lahi ʻetau kolo,

²¹‌ʻo na ako ʻaki ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau tui ki ai, pe fai, he ko e kakai Loma ʻakitautolu.”

²²Pea feʻohofi ʻae kakai kiate kinaua: pea naʻe haehae honau kofu ʻe he kau pule, mo fekau ke haha ʻakinaua.

²³Pea ʻosi ʻenau haha ʻo lahi ʻakinaua, naʻa nau tuku ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula, mo nau fekau ki he leʻo ke ne leʻohi maʻu ʻakinaua:

²⁴Pea ʻi heʻene maʻu ʻae fekau ko ia, naʻa ne fakahū ʻakinaua ki he fale fakapōpula ʻi loto, pea ne fakamaʻu hona vaʻe ki he ʻakau.

²⁵Pea ʻi he tuʻuapō mālie, naʻe lotu mo hiva fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, pea naʻe fanongo ʻae kau pōpula kiate kinaua.

²⁶Pea fakafokifā naʻe ai ʻae mofuike lahi, ʻaia naʻe ngaueue ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale fakapōpula: pea naʻe ava leva ʻae matapā kotoa pē, pea movete ʻae haʻi ʻonautolu taki taha kotoa pē.

²⁷Pea ʻi he ʻā ʻae leʻo ʻoe fale fakapōpula mei heʻene mohe, pea ne mamata kuo ava ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula, naʻa ne unuhi ʻae heletā ke tāmateʻi ʻaki ia, he naʻa ne mahalo kuo feholaki ʻae kau pōpula.
