Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and 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 and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
A na te hunga whakaaro a Tepene i tana, a he nui ta ratou tangihanga mona.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to 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 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
No reira ko ratou tonu, ko nga mea i whakamararatia ra, i haereere ki te kauwhau i te kupu.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Na ko Piripi i heke atu ki te pa o Hamaria, a kauwhau ana i a te Karaiti ki a ratou.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
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 unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame 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 joy in that city.
A nui atu te hari o taua pa.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
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 whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the 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 were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
A i whakarongo ratou ki a ia, no te mea kua roa ke ratou e miharo ana ki ana mahi makutu.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—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 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
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 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
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 who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
No to raua taenga iho, ka inoi mo ratou, kia riro te Wairua Tapu i a ratou:
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
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 they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Me i reira ka whakapakia iho o ratou ringa ki a ratou, a ka riro mai te Wairua Tapu i a ratou.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
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, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
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 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through 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 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before 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 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Na, ripenetatia tenei kino ou, a inoi ki te Atua, me kore noa e murua te whakaaro o tou ngakau.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Kua kite hoki ahau i a koe, kei roto koe i te au kawa, kei te here o te kino.
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
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 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages 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 And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
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 having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem 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 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
A e hoki mai ana, e noho ana i runga i tona hariata, e korero ana i a Ihaia poropiti.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Na ka mea te Wairua ki a Piripi, Whakatata atu, ka haere atu koe ki te hariata ra.
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
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 said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to 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 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open 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 humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because 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 And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
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 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
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 were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
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 Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son 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 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed 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 when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
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 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
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.
