Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Ko te pukapuka tuatahi ra he mea tuhituhi naku, e Tiopira, mo nga mea katoa i timata ai a Ihu te mahi, te ako.
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
Taea noatia te ra i tangohia atu ai ia, i muri i tana whakaakoranga, ara i ta te Wairua Tapu, ki nga apotoro i whiriwhiria e ia.
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
He maha hoki nga tohu i whakakite ora ai ia i a ia ki a ratou, i muri i tona whakamamaetanga, e wha tekau hoki nga ra i kitea ai e ratou, i korerotia ai e ia nga mea o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
A, i a ratou ka huihui tahi me ia, ka whai kupu ia kia kaua ratou e haere atu i Hiruharama, a ka mea, Engari kia taria te mea i korerotia i mua e te Matua, i rongo ra koutou ki ahau.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
I iriiri hoki a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia, e kore e maha ake nga ra, ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
No reira, i a ratou ka tamene, ka ui ratou ki a ia, E te Ariki, ko te wa ianei tenei e whakahoki ai koe i te rangatiratanga ki a Iharaira?
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ehara ma koutou te mohio ki nga taima, ki nga wa ranei, kua whakaritea e te Matua mana ake te tikanga.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Otiia ka riro he kaha i a koutou, ina haere mai te Wairua Tapu ki runga ki a koutou: a hei kaiwhakaatu koutou moku ki Hiruharama, ki Huria katoa, ki Hamaria hoki, a tae noa ki te pito whakamutunga o te ao.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
A, no ka mutu tana korero i enei mea, i a ratou ano e titiro atu ana, ka tangohia atu ia, a na te kapua i kopaki atu i o ratou kanohi.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
A, i a ratou e titiro matatau atu ana ki te rangi, i a ia e haere ana, na ko nga tangata tokorua e tu ana i to ratou taha, he ma nga kakahu;
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
E mea ana, E nga tangata o Kariri, he aha ta koutou e tu, e matakitaki atu na ki te rangi? ko tena Ihu kua tangohia atu na i a koutou ki te rangi, ka pera ano tona haerenga mai me ia i tirohia atu na e koutou e haere ana ki te rangi.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Na hoki ana ratou ki Hiruharama i te maunga e huaina nei ko Oriwa, he wahi e tata ana ki Hiruharama, he haerenga hapati.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
A ka tomo ratou, ka kake ki te ruma i runga, ki te wahi i noho ai ratou; ara a Pita, a Hemi, a Hoani, a Anaru, a Piripi, a Tamati, a Patoromu, a Matiu, a Hemi tama a Arapiu, a Haimona Heroti, a Hura te teina o Hemi.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Ko enei katoa kotahi tonu te whakaaro i u ai ki te inoi, ki te karakia, me nga wahine; me te whaea o Ihu, me Meri; me ona teina.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
I aua ra ka whakatika a Pita i waenganui o nga akonga; a he tokomaha nga tangata i huihui, kei te kotahi rau e rua tekau; a ka mea,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
E hoa ma, e oku teina, i tika ano kia whakaritea tenei karaipiture, ta te Wairua Tapu i korerotia ra i mua e te mangai o Rawiri mo Hura, mo te kaiarahi i te hunga nana i hopu a Ihu.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
I huihuia tahitia hoki ia ki a tatou, i a ia ano tetahi wahi o tenei mahi.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Na hokona ana e taua tangata tetahi mara ki te utu o tona hara; a taka tupou iho, koara pu i waenganui, pakaru katoa ki waho ona whekau.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
I mohiotia tenei e te hunga katoa e noho ana i Hiruharama; na reira taua wahi i huaina ai ki to tatou reo ko Akerama, ara ko te Mara o te Toto.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Kua oti hoki te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o nga Waiata, Kia ururatia tona nohoanga, kaua hoki tetahi tangata e noho ki reira: me tenei, Kia riro tana mahi tirotiro i tetahi atu.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
No reira, ko nga tangata i haere tahi nei tatou, i nga wa katoa i haereere mai ai, i haereere atu ai te Ariki, a Ihu i roto i a tatou,
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
Hei te iriiringa a Hoani timata ai, a tae noa ki te ra i tangohia atu ai ia i a tatou, me whakatu tetahi o era hei hoa mo tatou ki te whakaatu i tona aranga mai.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
A tokorua a ratou i whakarite ai, ko Hohepa i huaina nei ko Pahapa, ko tetahi o ona ingoa ko Hutuha, raua ko Matiaha.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Na ka inoi ratou, ka mea, Ko koe, e te Ariki, e mohio ana ki nga ngakau o te katoa, mau e whakaatu ko wai o tenei tokorua tau i whiriwhiri ai,
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
Hei tango i te wahi i tenei mahi minita, i te turanga apotoro hoki, i taka atu a Hura, he mea kia haere ai ia ki tona wahi.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Na ka maka e ratou o raua rota; a ka tau te rota ki a Matiaha; a uru ana ia ki nga apotoro tekau ma tahi.
