Ngāue 9:19-39

¹⁹Pea hili ʻene kai naʻa ne mālohi. Pea naʻe nonofo ʻa Saula mo e kau ākonga ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho niʻihi.

²⁰Pea kamata leva ʻe ia ke malangaʻaki ʻa Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻi he ngaahi falelotu.

²¹Ka naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo, mo nau pehē; “ʻIkai ko eni ia naʻe fakapoongi ʻakinautolu naʻe ui ki he hingoa ni ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻe haʻu foki ki heni ke ne ʻave haʻisia ʻakinautolu ki he kau taulaʻeiki lahi?”

²²Ka naʻe tupulaki ʻae mālohi ʻia Saula, pea naʻa ne fakatāfuʻua ʻae kakai Siu naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ko e Kalaisi eni.

²³Pea kuo hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi, naʻe fakakaukau ʻae kakai Siu ke tāmateʻi ia:

²⁴Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ʻenau toitoiʻi ia. Pea naʻa nau leʻohi ʻae ngaahi matapā ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ke tāmateʻi ia.

²⁵Pea naʻe toki ʻave poʻuli ia ʻe he kau ākonga, ʻo tukutuku hifo ʻi he kato mei he ʻā.

²⁶Pea ʻi he hoko ʻa Saula ki Selūsalema, naʻe fie ului ia ki he kau ākonga: ka naʻe manavahē kotoa pē kiate ia, he naʻe ʻikai te nau tui ko e ākonga ia.

²⁷Ka naʻe toʻo ia ʻe Pānepasa ʻo ʻomi ki he kau ʻaposetolo, pea naʻa ne fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻene mamata ki he ʻEiki ʻi he hala, mo ʻene folofola kiate ia, pea mo ʻene malanga mālohi ʻi Tamasikusi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu.

²⁸Pea naʻe nofo ia pea felemofafo mo kinautolu ʻi Selūsalema.

²⁹Pea naʻe lea mālohi ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo ne fakakikihi mo e kau ʻElinisitō: ka naʻa nau kumi ke tāmateʻi ia.

³⁰Pea ʻi he ʻilo eni ʻe he kāinga, naʻa nau ʻohifo ia ki Sesalia, pea nau fekau ia ke ʻalu ki Tasusi.

³¹Pea naʻe toki maʻu ʻae fiemālie ʻe he ngaahi siasi ʻi Siutea kotoa pē mo Kaleli mo Samēlia, pea naʻe langa hake ʻakinautolu; pea naʻa nau ʻaʻeva ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻEiki, mo e fiemālie ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea tupu ʻo tokolahi.

³²Pea ko eni, ʻi he ʻalu fano pe ʻa Pita ʻi he ngaahi potu, naʻe hoko hifo foki ia ki he kau lotu naʻe nofo ʻi Lita.

³³Pea naʻa ne ʻilo ʻi ai ha tangata ko Enia hono hingoa, pea kuo valu taʻu ʻene tokoto ʻi hono mohenga, pea naʻe moʻua ia ʻi he mahaki tete.

³⁴Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Enia, ʻoku fakamoʻui koe ʻe Sisu Kalaisi: tuʻu, ʻo tākai ho mohenga.” Pea tuʻu leva ia.

³⁵Pea naʻe mamata kiate ia pea tafoki ki he ʻEiki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe nofo ʻi Lita mo Seloni.

³⁶Pea naʻe ʻi Sopa ʻae ākonga ʻe taha naʻe hingoa ko Tapaita, ko e hingoa tatau ia mo Toakasi: pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe he fefine ni ʻae ngaahi ngāue lelei mo e faʻa foaki.

³⁷Pea ko eni, naʻe tuia hono mahaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, pea pekia: pea kuo nau tatafi ia, naʻa nau fakatokoto ia ʻi he potu fale ʻi ʻolunga.

³⁸Pea naʻe vāofi ʻa Lita mo Sopa, pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae kau ākonga ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Pita, naʻa nau fekau ʻae ongo tangata, ʻo kole kiate ia ke “ʻOua naʻa tuai ʻene haʻu kiate kinautolu.”

³⁹Pea tuʻu ʻa Pita, ʻo ʻalu mo kinaua. Pea kuo hoko atu ia, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki he potu fale ʻi ʻolunga: pea naʻe tutuʻu mo tangi ʻo ofi kiate ia ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻonau fakahā ʻae ngaahi kofutuʻa mo e kofu kehekehe naʻe ngaohi ʻe Toakasi, ʻi heʻene kei ʻiate kinautolu.
