Ngāue 18:7-19

⁷Pea ne ne ʻalu mei ai, ʻo hū ki he fale ʻo ha tangata, naʻe hingoa ko Susitasa, naʻe lotu ia ki he ʻOtua, pea naʻe vāofi hono fale mo e falelotu.

⁸Pea naʻe tui ki he ʻEiki ʻa Kalisipo, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo hono fale kotoa pē; pea naʻe fanongo mo tui ʻae kakai Kolinitō tokolahi, pea naʻe papitaiso ʻakinautolu.

⁹Pea folofola ai ʻae ʻEiki kia Paula ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he meʻa naʻe hā mai, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē, ka ke lea, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakalongo pē;

¹⁰He ʻoku ou ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ha tangata te ne faʻa fai ha kovi kiate koe; he ʻoku ou maʻu ʻae kakai tokolahi ʻi he kolo ni.”

¹¹Pea naʻa ne nofo ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha pea mo e māhina ʻe ono, ʻo ne ako ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu.

¹²Ka ʻi he pule ʻa Kalio ʻi ʻAkeia, naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu, ʻonau feʻohofi kia Paula, pea taki ia ki he potu fakamaau,

¹³Mo nau pehē, “ʻOku ako ʻe he siana ni ke lotu ʻae kakai ki he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai hangē ko e fono.”

¹⁴Pea kuo fai ʻe Paula ke ne lea, pea pehē ʻe Kalio ki he kakai Siu, “ʻAe kakai Siu, ka ne ko ha meʻa taʻetotonu pe pauʻu kuo fai, pehē ʻe taau mo au ke u tokanga kiate kimoutolu:

¹⁵Pea kapau ko e fakakikihi ʻi he lea mo e hingoa, mo hoʻomou fono pē, mou tokanga ʻakimoutolu ki ai; ʻe ʻikai te u fakamaau ʻeau ʻae meʻa pehē.”

¹⁶Pea naʻa ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei he potu fakamaau.

¹⁷Pea naʻe toki puke ʻe he Kiliki kotoa pē ʻa Sositine, ko e pule lahi ʻoe falelotu, mo nau tautea ia ʻi he potu fakamaau. Pea naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Kalio ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.

¹⁸Pea naʻe kei nofo ai ʻa Paula ʻo fuoloa, pea toki māvae ia mo e kāinga, ʻo ne folau mei ai ki Silia, pea naʻe ō mo ia ʻa Pisila mo ʻAkuila; kuo tomuʻa fafai hono ʻulu ʻi Senikelea: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fuakava.

¹⁹Pea naʻa ne aʻu atu ki ʻEfesō, pea ne tuku ai ʻakinaua: pea ʻalu ia ki he falelotu, ʻo malanga ki he kakai Siu.
