Acts 8
1 And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of Samaria, except the Apostles.
A i reira a Haora e whakaae ana ki tona matenga. Na i taua ra ka oho he whakatoinga nui ki te hahi i Hiruharama: a marara katoa ana ratou, puta noa i nga wahi o Huria, o Hamaria; kahore ia nga apotoro.
2 Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him.
A na te hunga whakaaro a Tepene i tana, a he nui ta ratou tangihanga mona.
3 But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison.
Ko Haora ia, tahoroa ana e ia te hahi, tomo ana ki tena whare, ki tena whare, toia atu ana nga tane me nga wahine, hoatu ana ki roto ki te whare herehere.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde.
No reira ko ratou tonu, ko nga mea i whakamararatia ra, i haereere ki te kauwhau i te kupu.
5 Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
Na ko Piripi i heke atu ki te pa o Hamaria, a kauwhau ana i a te Karaiti ki a ratou.
6 And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
A kotahi tonu te whakaaro o nga mano ki te whakarongo ki nga mea i korero ai a Piripi, i a ratou e rongo ana, e kite ana i nga tohu i mea ai ia.
7 For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed.
I puta mai hoki nga wairua poke i roto i te tini o nga mea e nohoia ana, he nui te reo ki te karanga: he tokomaha ano nga pararutiki, nga kopa i whakaorangia.
8 And there was great ioy in that citie.
A nui atu te hari o taua pa.
9 And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man.
Na i reira tetahi tangata, ko Haimona te ingoa, he mahi makutu tana i mua atu i roto i taua pa, a miharo ana te iwi o Hamaria, i mea hoki ia i a ia he tangata nui.
10 To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
I whakarongo katoa hoki ratou ki a ia te iti me te rahi, i mea, Ko taua kaha o te Atua tenei tangata, e kiia nei ko te nui.
11 And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
A i whakarongo ratou ki a ia, no te mea kua roa ke ratou e miharo ana ki ana mahi makutu.
12 But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.
A, no ratou ka whakapono ki a Piripi; e kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua, i te ingoa hoki o Ihu Karaiti, ka iriiria ratou, nga tane me nga wahine.
13 Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done.
Ko Haimona tonu tetahi i whakapono: a ka iriiria, ka piri tahi ki a Piripi; a, no tona kitenga i nga tohu me nga merekara nunui i mahia, ka miharo.
14 Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
A, i te rongonga o nga apotoro i Hiruharama kua tango a Hamaria i te kupu a te Atua, ka tonoa atu e ratou a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou:
15 Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
No to raua taenga iho, ka inoi mo ratou, kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a ratou:
16 (For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
Kahore ano hoki ia i tau noa ki tetahi o ratou: he mea iriiri kau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.
17 Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
Me i reira ka whakapakia iho o ratou ringa ki a ratou, a ka riro mai te Wairua Tapu i a ratou.
18 And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money,
A, no te kitenga o Haimona, na te whakapanga iho o nga ringa o nga apotoro i homai ai te Wairua tapu, ka mea ki te hoatu moni ki a raua,
19 Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost.
Ka ki, Homai hoki ki ahau tenei mana, kia riro ai te Wairua Tapu i te tangata e whakapakia iho ai e ahau oku ringa.
20 Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money.
Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, Kia pirau ngatahi korua ko tau moni, ina koe ka whakaaro ma te moni ka whiwhi ai ki te mea homai noa a te Atua.
21 Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
Kahore he wahi mau, kahore he taunga mou i tenei mea: kahore hoki i tika tou ngakau i te aroaro o te Atua.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
Na, ripenetatia tenei kino ou, a inoi ki te Atua, me kore noa e murua te whakaaro o tou ngakau.
23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie.
Kua kite hoki ahau i a koe, kei roto koe i te au kawa, kei te here o te kino.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, Ma korua e inoi moku ki te Ariki, kei pa ki ahau tetahi o nga mea kua korerotia mai na e korua.
25 So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes of the Samaritans.
A, ka mutu ta raua whakaatu, ta raua kauwhau i te kupu a te Ariki, ka hoki ki Hiruharama, he maha hoki nga kainga o nga Hamari i kauwhautia ai e raua te rongopai.
26 Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste.
Na ka korero tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a Piripi, ka mea, Whakatika, haere ki te tonga, ki te ara e heke atu ana i Hiruharama ki Kaha; he koraha tera.
27 And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship:
Whakatika ana ia, haere ana: na ko tetahi tangata o Etiopia, he unaka, he tangata nui na Kanarahi, kuini o nga Etiopiana, ko te kaitiaki ia o ana taonga katoa, i haere ki Hiruharama ki te karakia;
28 And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.
A e hoki mai ana, e noho ana i runga i tona hariata, e korero ana i a Ihaia poropiti.
29 Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Na ka mea te Wairua ki a Piripi, Whakatata atu, ka haere atu koe ki te hariata ra.
30 And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
Katahi a Piripi ka oma atu ki a ia, ka rongo i a ia e korero ana i a Ihaia poropiti, ka mea atu, E matau ana ranei koe ki tau e korero na?
31 And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.
Ano ra ko ia, Me pehea koia, ki te kore tetahi hei arataki i ahau? Na ka mea ia ki a Piripi kia eke ki runga kia noho tahi me ia.
32 Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
Na, ko te wahi o te karaipiture e korero nei ia, ko tenei, I arahina ia ano he hipi kia patua; a, me te reme e wahangu ana i te aroaro o tona kaikutikuti, kihai i kuihi tona waha;
33 In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
I ona whakaitinga i whakakorea he whakawa mona: ma wai hoki tona whakatupuranga e korero? Kua tangohia atu nei tona ora i te whenua.
34 Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
Na ka whakahoki te unaka ki a Piripi, ka mea, Tena koa, mo wai tenei korero a te poropiti? mona ake ano, mo tetahi atu ranei?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.
Na ka puaki te mangai o Piripi, a, timata mai i taua karaipiture, kauwhautia ana e ia a Ihu ki a ia.
36 And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?
A, i a raua e haere ana i te ara, ka tae atu raua ki tetahi wai, ka mea te unaka, Na, he wai tenei: he aha te mea e kore ai ahau e iriiria?
37 And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.
Mea atu ana a Piripi, Ki te whakapono tou ngakau katoa, e ahei ano koe. na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, E whakapono ana ahau ko Ihu Karaiti te Tama a te Atua.
38 Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.
Katahi ia ka whakahau i te haraiata kia tu: ka haere atu raua tokorua ki roto i te wai, a Piripi raua ko te unaka; a iriiria ana ia e ia.
39 And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
A, i to raua putanga ake i te wai, kahakina atu ana a Piripi e te Wairua o te Ariki: a mutu tonu te kitenga atu o te unaka i a ia, heoi haere hari atu ana ia i tona ara.
40 But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
Ko Piripi ia i kitea ki Ahota; a, i a ia e haere ana, kauwhautia ana e ia te rongopai ki nga pa katoa, a tae noa ia ki Hiharia.
