Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
Na ka tae atu hoki ia ki Rerepe, ki Raihitara: a, i reira tetahi akonga, ko Timoti te ingoa, he tama na tetahi wahine whakapono, he Hurai, ko tona papa ia he Kariki.
2 A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
He pai te korero mona a nga teina i Raihitara, i Ikoniuma.
3 This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
I mea a Paora kia haere ia hei hoa mona; a tangohia ana ia, kotia ana, he mea hoki mo nga Hurai e noho ana i aua wahi: i matau hoki ratou katoa he kariki tona papa.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
A, i a ratou e haereere ana i nga pa, ka tukua e ratou hei pupuri ma ratou nga tikanga i whakaritea e nga apotoro, e nga kaumatua, i Hiruharama.
5 Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
Na ka whakaukia nga hahi ki te whakapono, ka nui haere hoki i tenei ra, i tenei ra.
6 When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Na haere ana ratou na waenganui o te whenua o Pirikia, o Karatia, kua araia hoki e te Wairua Tapu kei korero i te kupu ki Ahia;
7 and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
A, i te taenga atu ki Maihia, ka whakamatau ratou ki te haere ki Pitinia; heoi kihai i tukua e te Wairua o Ihu;
8 But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Na kapea ana Maihia, ka haere ki Toroa.
9 And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us.
A ka kitea e Paora he kitenga i te po: He tangata no Makeronia e tu ana, e tohe ana ki a ia, e mea ana, Whiti mai ki Makeronia, awhinatia matou.
10 After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
A, no ka kitea te kitenga, ka mea tonu matou kia haere ki Makeronia, i whakaaro hoki, na te Atua matou i karanga ki te kauwhau i te rongopai ki a ratou.
11 Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
Heoi, ko te rerenga atu i Toroa, ka tika tonu matou ki Hamotarakia, a ao ake te ra ki Neapori;
12 and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
I reira atu ki Piripai, ko te pa nui ia o taua wahi o Makeronia, he koroni no Roma: a noho ana matou i taua pa a taka noa etahi ra.
13 and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
Na i te ra hapati ka haere matou ki waho o te pa, ki te taha o tetahi awa, he whakaaro ko te wahi tera hei karakiatanga; a ka noho, ka korero ki nga wahine i haere tahi ake.
14 And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
Na ka whakarongo tetahi wahine, ko Riria te ingoa, he kaihoko papura, no te pa o Taiataira, he wahine karakia ki te Atua: he mea whakapuare tona ngakau e te Ariki, i rongo ai ia ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora.
15 And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.
A, no ka oti ia te iriiri, ratou ko tona whare, ka tohe ia, ka mea, Ki te mea kua whakaaro koutou he pono taku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai koutou, e noho ki toku whare. Na ka tohea matou e ia.
16 And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
Na, i a matou e haere ana ki te wahi inoi, ka tutaki ki a matou tetahi kotiro, he wairua matakite nei tona, he nui te utu i riro i a ia ma ona rangatira, i a ia e poropiti ana:
17 She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the way of salvation.
Ka whai ia i a matou ko Paora, ka karanga, ka mea, he pononga enei tangata na te Atua, na te Runga Rawa, e whakapuakina ana e ratou te ara o te ora ki a koutou.
18 And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Na he maha nga ra i mea ai ia i tenei. Otiia ka hoha a Paora, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te wairua, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, puta mai i roto i a ia, A puta mai ana i taua haora ano.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to the rulers.
Otira, no te kitenga o ona rangatira kua kore he mahinga moni ma ratou, ka mau ki a Paora raua ko Hira, ka toia ki te kainga hoki ki nga rangatira;
20 And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
A, ka oti raua te mau ki nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea, Ko enei tangata, he Hurai nei, e tino whakararuraru ana i to tatou pa,
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
E whakapuakina ana hoki e raua he ritenga e kore nei e tika kia whakaaetia, kia mahia e tatou, e nga tangata o Roma.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
Na ko te whakatikanga o te mano ki a raua; ka huhua o raua kakahu e nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea kia whiua ki te rakau.
23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
A, ka maha o raua whiunga e ratou, ka maka raua ki te whare herehere, ka tohutohutia te kaitiaki herehere, kia mau tana pupuri i a raua.
24 And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
No te rironga i a ia o taua kupu, ka maka raua e ia ki te whare herehere i roto rawa, ka whakauria o raua waewae ki te rakau.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Na i waenganui po ka inoi a Paora raua ko Hira, ka waiata atu ki te Atua, me te whakarongo ano nga herehere ki a raua;
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
Na ka pa whakarere he ru nui, i ngarue ai nga turanga o te whare herehere: a puare tonu atu nga tatau katoa, whakakorokoroa ana nga herenga o nga tangata katoa.
27 And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
A, ka oho te kaitiaki herehere i te moe, ka kite i nga tatau o te whare herehere e puare ana, na ka unu i tana hoari, ka mea ki te patu i a ia ano, hua noa kua oma nga herehere.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
Na kanui te reo o Paora ki te karanga, ka mea, Kauaka tetahi mea kino e meatia ki a koe: ina tonu hoki matou katoa.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
A karangatia ana e ia he rama, ka rere ki roto, ka haere wiri, ka takoto ki te aroaro o Paora raua ko Hira,
30 and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Ka arahina hoki raua ki waho, ka mea, E hoa ma, me aha ka ora ai ahau?
31 They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
Ka mea raua, Me whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, ka ora ai koe, koutou tahi ko tou whare.
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
Na ka korerotia te kupu a te Ariki ki a ia, ki nga tangata katoa hoki i roto i tona whare.
33 And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
A ka mauria raua e ia i taua haora o te po, ka horoia o raua whiunga; na iriiria tonutia iho, a ia me ana tangata katoa.
34 And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
A ka arahina raua e ia ki tona whare, ka whakaturia he tepu kai ki mua i a raua, a nui atu tona hari, me tona whare katoa, i te mea kua whakapono nei ki te Atua.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
I te aonga ake ia o te ra, ka tonoa nga katipa e nga kaiwhakawa, i mea, Tukua aua tangata kia haere.
36 And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. Now, therefore, come out, and go in peace.
Na ka korerotia e te kaitiaki herehere enei kupu ki a Paora, ka mea, Kua tono tangata mai nga kaiwhakawa, kia tukua korua: tena ra puta mai, haere i runga i te rangimarie.
37 But Paul said to them: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead us out.
Na ko te kinga atu a Paora, Kua whiua nuitia nei maua e ratou, ahakoa kahore i whakawakia, he tangata hoki no Roma, a kua maka maua ki te whare herehere; a kei te maka pukutia atu maua aianei e ratou? Kahore rapea: engari ma ratou tonu e haere m ai, e whakaputa i a maua ki waho.
38 And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed when they heard that they were Romans;
na ka korerotia enei kupu e nga katipa ki nga kaiwhakawa: a ka wehi, i to ratou rongonga no Roma raua;
39 and they came, and entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
Na ka haere mai ratou, ka tohe ki a raua; a, ka oti raua te arahi ki waho, ka mea ratou kia haere atu raua i te pa.
40 And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
A ka puta atu raua i te whare herehere, ka tomo ki te whare o Riria: a, no ka kite raua i nga teina, ka whakamarie i a ratou, ka haere.
