¹ PEA na‘e ongo ki he kau ‘Aposetolo, mo e kāinga kehekehe ‘i Siutea, tā kuo tali ‘e he Senitaile foki ‘a e folofola ‘a e ‘Otua.

² Pea ‘i he ‘alu hake ‘a Pita ki Selusalema, pea ko e fa‘ahinga kamu na‘a nau fakaanga kiate ia,

³ ‘o nau pehē, Na‘a ke ‘uhi ki ha kau tangata ‘oku ‘ikai kamu, pea ke keinanga mo kinautolu.

⁴ Pea hanga ‘a Pita ‘o fakamatala hokohoko kiate kinautolu, ‘o pehē:

⁵ Na‘a ku ‘i he kolo ko Siopa, ‘o fai ‘eku lotu; pea ‘āvea hoku loto, ‘o u sio ki ha vīsone, ‘Oku ‘alu hifo ha ‘angame‘a, ‘o hangē hā fu‘u lā, ‘a ia ‘oku tuku hifo mei he langi ‘aki ha hiku‘i maea ‘e fā; pea ne a‘u mai kiate au:

⁶ pea ‘i he‘eku sio fakamama‘u ki ai, na‘a ku tokanga‘i ‘o ‘ilo ai ha fanga manu ve‘e fā ‘o e kelekele, kae‘uma‘ā ‘a e manu kaivao, mo e manu totolo, pea mo e fanga manupuna ‘o e ‘atā.

⁷ Pea ongo mai foki ha le‘o ‘oku ne pehē mai, Tu‘u, Pita; ‘o tāmate‘i ‘o kai.

⁸ Pea u pehē, ‘Ēī, ‘e ‘ikai ha me‘a pehē: he kuo te‘eki si‘i ‘ai ki hoku ngutu ni ha me‘a ‘oku ta‘etaau pe ta‘ema‘a.

⁹ Pea hoko mai ‘a e le‘o mei he langi ko hono tu‘o ua, ‘o tali, Ko e ngaahi mea kuo fakama‘a ‘e he ‘Otua, ‘oua te ke pehē ‘e koe ‘oku ta‘etaau.

¹⁰ Na‘e fai pehē ‘o tu‘o tolu, pea toe fusi hake kotoa pē ki langi.

¹¹ Pea vakai, na‘e tutu‘u mai leva ha tu‘unga tangata ‘e toko tolu ki he ‘api na‘a mau ‘i ai, kuo fekau mai mei Sesalia kiate au.

¹² Pea folofola mai ‘a e Laumālie ke u ō mo kinautolu, ‘o ‘oua ‘e momo‘i tāla‘a. Pea na‘e ō mo au foki ha kāinga ‘e toko ono ‘a e tu‘unga me‘a ni pea mau hū ki he fale ‘o e matāpule:

¹³ pea fakamatala ia kiate kimautolu ‘a ‘ene sio ki he ‘āngelo ‘i hono fale, ‘oku ne tu‘u ‘o me‘a mai, Fekau ange ki Siopa ke ‘omi ‘a Saimone, ‘a ia ‘oku hingoa foki ko Pita;

¹⁴ pea ‘e fai ‘e ia ‘a e ngaahi fakamatala kiate koe, ‘a ia te ke mo‘ui ai, ‘e koe mo ho fale kotoa.

¹⁵ Pea ‘i he‘eku kamata lea, ne hifo ‘a e Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni kiate kinautolu, ‘o hangē tofu pē ‘ene fai kiate kitautolu ‘i he kamata‘anga.

¹⁶ Pea u manatu ki he folofola ‘a e ‘Eiki, ‘a ‘ene pehē, Na‘e papitaiso vai pē ‘e Sione; ka ‘e papitaiso kimoutolu ‘aki ‘a e Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni.

¹⁷ Pea kapau na‘e me‘a‘ofa tatau ‘aki ‘e he ‘Otua kiate kinautolu mo kitautolu ‘i he tui leva ki he ‘Eiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ko e taha au koā na‘e kākunga ke ta‘ofi ‘a e ‘Otua?

¹⁸ Pea ‘i he‘enau fanongo ki he ngaahi me‘a ko ia, na‘a nau tuku ‘enau lau; ‘o nau fakamālō‘ia ‘a e ‘Otua, ‘o nau pehē, Tā kuo tuku ‘e he ‘Otua ki he Senitaile foki ‘a e fakatomala, koe‘uhi ke nau mo‘ui.

Ko e Siasi ‘i ‘Aniteoké

¹⁹ Pea ko eni, ko kinautolu na‘e vetekina ‘i he kovi na‘e hoko ‘ia Sitīveni, na‘e a‘u ‘enau ‘alu ki Finisia, mo Saipalo, mo ‘Aniteoke; ka na‘e ‘ikai te nau malanga‘aki ‘a e folofola ki ha ni‘ihi kehe, ngata pē ‘i he kakai Siu.

²⁰ Ka na‘e ai honau ni‘ihi ko e kau tangata mei Saipalo mo Sailine, pea ko kinautolu ‘i he‘enau hoko ki ‘Aniteoke na‘a nau lea ki he kakai Kalisi foki, he‘enau malanga‘aki ‘a e ‘Eiki ko Sīsū.

²¹ Pea na‘e kau mo kinautolu ‘a e māfimafi ‘o e ‘Eiki; pea na‘e tui ha fu‘u tokolahi, ‘o tafoki ki he ‘Eiki.

²² Pea na‘e pāpātelinga ki he siasi ‘i Selusalema ‘a e talanoa kiate kinautolu, pea na‘a nau tuku atu ‘a Pānepasa ke a‘u ki ‘Aniteoke.

²³ Pea ‘i he‘ene lava mai ia, mo vakai ‘a e ‘ofa, tā ‘oku mei he ‘Otua ia, na‘a ne fiefia, pea na‘a ne tokoni kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau nofo ki he ‘Eiki mo e loto pau.

²⁴ He ko e tangata lelei ia, pea fonu ‘i he Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni mo e tui: pea na‘e ului ki he ‘Eiki ha kakai tokolahi.

²⁵ Pea ne ‘alu mei ai ki Tāsusi ke kumi ‘a Saula:

²⁶ pea ‘i he‘ene ‘ilo ia na‘a ne ‘omi ki ‘Aniteoke. Pea ko ia na‘a na toe nofo fakataha ‘i he siasi ‘o ta‘u kātoa, ‘o na akonekina ha kakai tokolahi: pea hoko ai foki na‘e fuofua ui ‘i ‘Aniteoke ‘a e kau ako ko e kau Kalisitiane.

²⁷ ‘I he taimi ko ia na‘e ‘alu hifo ha kau palōfita mei Selusalema ki ‘Aniteoke.

²⁸ Pea tu‘u honau toko taha na‘e hingoa ko ‘Akapusi, ‘i he hā‘elea ia ‘e he Laumālie, ‘o ne lea fakatātā ki ha fu‘u honge ‘oku ene ke tō ki māmani kātoa: ‘a e honge ko ia na‘e hoko ‘i he kuonga ‘o Kaloti.

²⁹ Pea tu‘utu‘uni ‘a e kau ako ke tānaki tokoni, ‘o takitaha ‘omi ha me‘a te ne lava, ke ‘ave ki he kāinga na‘e nofo ‘i Siutea.

³⁰ Pea nau fai ia ‘o ‘ave ki he kau faifekau ‘ia Pānepasa mo Saula.
