Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
A, no ka taka mai te ra o te Petekoha, e noho tahi ana ratou katoa i te wahi kotahi.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Na puta whakarere mai ana he haruru nui no te rangi, ano he hau nui e keri ana, a ki katoa te whare i noho ai ratou.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Heoi puta mai ana ki a ratou etahi arero he mea manganga, ano he ahi, a tau iho ana ki runga ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Na ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, a ka timata te korero, rere ke ana nga reo, rite tonu ki ta te Wairua i hoatu ai ki a ratou kia korerotia.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
I Hiruharama ano e noho ana etahi Hurai, he hunga whakaaro, no nga iwi katoa i raro o te rangi.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Na i te wa i rangona ai taua haruru, ka whakarapopoto te mano, ka pororaru, no te mea ka rangona e tera, e tera, tona reo e korerotia ana e ratou.
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
Na ka oho ratou katoa, ka miharo, ka mea, Na, ehara ianei enei katoa e korero nei i te hunga no Kariri?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
He aha tatou ka rongo nei, ia tangata, ia tangata, i o tatou reo o to tatou whanautanga?
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
Ko te hunga o Patia, o Meria, o Erama, ko nga mea e noho ana i Mehopotamia, i Huria, i Kaparokia, i Ponoto, i Ahia,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
I Perukia, i pamapuria, i Ihipa, i nga wahi o Ripia e patata ana ki Hairini, me nga manuhiri o Roma, nga Hurai, nga porohiraiti,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
Nga Kariti, nga Arapi, e rongo ana tatou i a ratou e whakapuaki ana i nga mahi tohu a te Atua, no tatou ano nga reo.
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
A miharo katoa ana ratou, pohehe ana, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tenei?
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Ko etahi i tawai, i mea, E ki ana ratou i te waina hou.
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Otira ka whakatika a Pita me te tekau ma tahi, ka hikitia tona reo, ka whai kupu ki a ratou, E nga tangata o Huria, me koutou katoa e noho nei i Hiruharama, kia mohio koutou ki tenei, kia whai taringa mai ki aku kupu:
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
Kahore hoki o enei haurangi me ta koutou e whakaaro nei, ko te toru noa hoki tenei o nga haora o te ra;
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
Engari ko te mea tenei i korerotia e Hoera poropiti;
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
A tenei ake kei nga ra whakamutunga, e ai ta te Atua, ka ringihia e ahau toku Wairua ki nga kikokiko katoa; ka poropiti hoki a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, ka moemoea hoki o koutou kaumatua:
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
Ae, ka ringihia ano e ahau toku Wairua i aua ra, ki aku pononga tane, ki aku pononga wahine; a ka poropiti ratou.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Ka whakakitea ano e ahau nga mea whakamiharo i te rangi i runga, me nga tohu ki te whenua i raro; he toto, he kapura, he paowa pongere:
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
Ko te ra ka huri hei pouri, ko te marama hoki hei toto, i mua o te putanga mai o te ra o te Ariki, taua ra nui whakaharahara, rongonui.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Na, ko reira ora ai te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o te Ariki.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
E nga tangata o Iharaira, kia rongo koutou ki enei kupu; Ko Ihu o Nahareta, he tangata i tino whaitohungia e te Atua ki a koutou i runga i nga merekara, i nga mea whakamiharo, i nga tohu i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i waenganui o koutou, e mo hio ana ano ra koutou.
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
Ko tenei tangata i tukua atu, he mea i ata whakaaroa, a i mohiotia noatia ake e te Atua, tangohia ana e koutou, whakamatea iho, he mea ripeka na te ringa o nga tangata kino
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
Na te Atua ia i whakaara ake, nana i wewete nga mamae o te mate: no te mea e kore ia e taea te pupuri e taua mate.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
Ko ta Rawiri korero hoki tenei mona, I kite ahau i te Ariki i mua i toku aroaro i nga ra katoa; kei toku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ai ahau e whakakorikoria:
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
Koia i koa ai toku ngakau, i whakamanamana ai toku arero: i takoto tumanako ai ano oku kikokiko.
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
No te mea e kore e waiho e koe toku wairua i te reinga, e kore ano e tukua tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
Kua whakakitea e koe ki ahau nga huarahi o te ora; ka meinga e koe kia ki tonu toku koa i tou aroaro.
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
E oku teina, e tika ana kia aronui he kupu ki a koutou mo te tupuna nei mo Rawiri, ara kua mate ia, kua tanumia, kei a tatou ano tona urupa, a taea noatia tenei ra.
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
I te mea he poropiti ia, a i mohio kua oati te Atua i te oati ki a ia, ka whakaputaina ake tetahi, he hua no tona hope, hei noho ki runga ki tona torona;
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
A, i tana kite wawe i tenei, korerotia ana e ia te aranga o te Karaiti, ara kihai tona wairua i waiho i te reinga, kihai ano tona kikokiko i kite i te pirau. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Kua whakaarahia ake tenei Ihu e te Atua: ko matou katoa nga kaiwhakaatu.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
A, ka oti nei ia te whakanui e te ringa matau o te Atua, a ka homai nei ki a ia e te Matua te Wairua Tapu i korerotia ra i mua, na kua ringihia mai e ia tenei, e kite nei, e rongo nei koutou.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
Kahore hoki a Rawiri i kake ki te rangi; heoi e mea ana ia, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
Kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
No reira ka kia matau pu te whare katoa o Iharaira, kua meinga e te Atua hei Ariki, hei Karaiti, taua Ihu i ripekatia na e koutou.
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
No ratou ka rongo, ka werowero i roto i o ratou ngakau, ka mea ki a Pita ratou ko era atu apotoro, E nga tuakana, me aha matou?
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ratou, Ripeneta, kia iriiria tena tangata, tena tangata o koutou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, hei murunga hara; a ka riro i a koutou te mea homai, ara te Wairua Tapu.
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
Ki a koutou hoki, ki a koutou tamariki, te kupu homai, ki te hunga katoa ano o tawhiti, ki nga mea e karangatia e te Ariki, e to tatou Atua, ki a ia.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
He maha atu ano nga kupu i korero ai, i kauwhau ai ia, i mea ai, Me whakaora koutou i a koutou i tenei whakatupuranga parori ke.
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
Na, ko nga mea tonu i tango i tana kupu i iriiria: me te mea e toru mano nga wairua i honoa mai ki a ratou i taua ra.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
A i u tonu ratou ki te whakaakoranga a nga apotoro, ki te kotahitanga, ki te whawhati taro, a ki te inoi.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Tau iho ana te wehi ki nga wairua katoa; he maha hoki nga mea whakamiharo me nga tohu i meinga e nga apotoro.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
I noho tahi ano te hunga whakapono katoa, i huihuia ano hoki a ratou mea katoa;
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
I hokona atu hoki a ratou rawa me nga taonga, tuwhaina ana ma te katoa, rite tonu ki te mate o tenei, o tenei.
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
Haere tonu ana hoki ratou i tenei ra, i tenei ra ki te temepara, kotahi tonu ano te whakaaro; whawhati taro ana i o ratou kainga, kai ana i a ratou kai i runga i te koa, i te ngakau tapatahi;
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
E whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua, e paingia ana hoki e te iwi katoa. A honoa mai ana e te Ariki ki a ratou i tena ra, i tena ra, i tena ra, te hunga e whakaorangia ana.
