Acts 12
1 Nowe about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vexe certaine of the Church,
Na i taua wa ka totoro atu nga ringa o Kingi Herora ki te tukino i etahi o te hahi.
2 And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn with the sword.
A whakamatea ana e ia ki te hoari a Hemi, te tuakana o Hoani.
3 And when he sawe that it pleased the Iewes, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the dayes of vnleauened bread.)
A, no tona kitenga e pai ana ki nga Hurai, ka anga ia ki te hopu hoki i a Pita. Na ko nga ra ena o te taro rewenakore.
4 And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and deliuered him to foure quaternions of souldiers to be kept, intending after the Passeouer to bring him foorth to the people.
A, no ka mau ia, ka maka ki te whare herehere, ka tukua ki nga hoia kotahi tekau ma ono kia tiakina; ko te whakaaro mo muri iho i te kapenga ka whakaputa mai ai i a ia ki te iwi.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer was made of ye Church vnto God for him.
Na ka puritia a Pita ki roto ki te whare herehere: otiia kihai i mutumutu te inoi a te hahi ki te Atua mona.
6 And when Herod woulde haue brought him out vnto the people, the same night slept Peter betweene two souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the keepers before the doore, kept the prison.
A, no ka tata a Herora te whakaputa mai i a ia, i taua po ano e moe ana a Pita i waenganui o nga hoia tokorua, he mea here ki nga mekameka e rua: me nga kaitiaki i mua i te tatau e tiaki ana i te whare herehere.
7 And behold the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raysed him vp, saying, Arise quickely. And his chaines fell off from his handes.
Na, tu ana tetahi anahera na te Ariki i tona taha, a tiaho ana te marama i roto i te ruma: na ka papaki ia i te kaokao o Pita, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E ara, hohoro. A marere iho ona mekameka i ona ringa.
8 And the Angel saide vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales. And so he did. Then he said vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Ka mea atu ano te anahera ki a ia, Whitiki i a koe, ka here i ou parekereke. A meinga ana e ia. Ka mea ano ki a ia, Kakahuria tou kakahu, haere mai i muri i ahau.
9 So Peter came out and followed him, and knewe not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seene a vision.
Na ka haere ia ki waho, ka aru i a ia; a kihai ia i mahara he pono ta te anahera i mea ai; hua noa he rekanga kanohi tana i kite ai.
10 Nowe when they were past the first and the second watch, they came vnto the yron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them by it owne accord, and they went out, and passed through one streete, and by and by the Angel departed from him.
A, no ka mahue i a raua te tuatahi, te tuarua o nga kaitiaki, ka tae raua ki te tatau rino i te putanga atu ki te pa; tuwhera noa ana tera ki a raua: puta ana raua ki waho, haere ana, puta rawa i tetahi ara, mawehe tonu atu te anahera i a ia.
11 And when Peter was come to himselfe, he said, Nowe I know for a trueth, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath deliuered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the wayting for of the people of the Iewes.
A, i te hokinga ake o nga whakaaro o Pita, ka mea ia, Katahi ahau ka tino mohio, kua tono mai te Ariki i tana anahera, hei tango i ahau i roto i te ringa o Herora, i nga mea katoa hoki e taria nei e te iwi o nga Hurai.
12 And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed.
A, no ka whakaaroaro ia ki taua mea, ka haere ia ki te whare o Meri whaea o Hoani, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Maka; he tokomaha hoki kua huihui ki reira ki te inoi.
13 And when Peter knocked at the entrie doore, a maide came foorth to hearken, named Rhode,
A, no te patototanga a Pita i te tatau o te whatitoka, ka tae mai he kotiro ki te whakarongo, ko Rora te ingoa.
14 But when she knew Peters voyce, she opened not the entrie doore for gladnesse, but ranne in, and tolde howe Peter stood before the entrie.
A, no ka mohio ia ki te reo o Pita, kihai i uakina te tatau i te hari, heoi oma ana ki roto, ki te korero kei te tatau a Pita e tu ana.
15 But they said vnto her, Thou art mad. Yet she affirmed it constantly, that it was so. Then said they, It is his Angel.
Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, E haurangi ana koe. Heoi ka tohe tonu ia he pono. Na ka mea ratou, Ko tona anahera.
16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened it, and sawe him, they were astonied.
Me te patuki tonu ano tera a Pita: a, i ta ratou uakanga, ka kite i a ia, ka miharo.
17 And he beckened vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he saide, Goe shewe these things vnto Iames and to the brethren: and he departed and went into an other place.
Na ka pepehi atu tona ringa i a ratou kia kaua e kuihi, ka korerotia ki a ratou tona whakaputanga mai e te Ariki i te whare herehere. Ka mea, Korerotia enei mea ki a Hemi ratou ko nga teina. Na ka puta ia ki waho, haere ana he wahi ke.
18 Nowe assoone as it was day, there was no small trouble among the souldiers, what was become of Peter.
Na i te aonga ake ano o te ra, kihai i iti te pororaru o nga hoia, i ahatia ranei a Pita.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to be led to be punished. And he went downe from Iudea to Cesarea, and there abode.
Na ka rapu a Herora i a ia, a, no te korenga i kitea, ka whakawa i nga kaitiaki, ka whakahau kia whakamatea. Na haere atu ana ia i Huria ki raro ki Hiharia noho ai.
20 Then Herod was angrie with them of Tyrus and Sidon, but they came all with one accord vnto him, and perswaded Blastus the Kings Chamberlaine, and they desired peace, because their countrey was nourished by the Kings land.
Na tino nui te riri o Herora ki te hunga o Taira, o Hairona: otira ka huihui mai ratou ki a ia, a, ka oti a Parahitu, te kaitiaki o te whare moenga o te kingi, te whakakiki e ratou, ka tono ratou kia houhia te rongo, no te mea ko nga kai i whang aia ai to ratou whenua no te whenua o te kingi.
21 And vpon a day appointed, Herod arayed himselfe in royall apparell, and sate on the iudgement seate, and made an oration vnto them.
A i tetahi ra i whakaritea ka kakahu a Herora i te kakahu kingi, ka noho ki runga ki te torona, a whakatu ana ki a ratou.
22 And the people gaue a shoute, saying, The voyce of God, and not of man.
Na ko te karangatanga a te huihui, He reo atua, ehara i to te tangata.
23 But immediatly the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gaue not glorie vnto God, so that he was eaten of wormes, and gaue vp the ghost.
I reira pu ano ka patua ia e tetahi anahera a te Ariki, no te mea kihai i hoatu e ia te kororia ki te Atua: a kainga ana ia e te kutukutu, hemo ake.
24 And the worde of God grewe, and multiplied.
Ko te kupu ia a te Atua i tupu, i nui haere.
25 So Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and tooke with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke.
A ka hoki a Panapa raua ko Haora i Hiruharama, i te otinga o ta raua mahi, ka mauria a Hoani, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Maka.
