Mahi 10
1 Na i Hiharia tetahi tangata, ko Koroniria te ingoa, he keneturio no te pu i kiia nei ko to Itari;
There was a certain man in Cesarea, called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
2 He tangata karakia ia, e wehi ana i te Atua, ratou ko tona whare katoa, he maha ana mahi atawhai ki te iwi, me te inoi tonu ki te Atua.
[A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house, who gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always.
3 I kite nui ia, he whakarehu, i te mea ka tata ki te iwa o nga haora o te ra, i tetahi anahera a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki a ia, e mea ana hoki ki a ia, E Koroniria.
He saw in a vision evidently, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Na ka titiro matatau atu ia ki a ia, ka wehi, ka mea, he aha, e te Ariki? Ka ki tera ki a ia, Kua puta ake au inoi me au mahi atawhai, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o te Atua.
And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thy alms are come up for a memorial before God.
5 Na tonoa aianei he tangata ki Hopa, ki te tiki i a Haimona, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita.
And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He manuhiri ia na Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha nei o te moana tona whare.
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he will tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 A, no te rironga atu o te anahera i korero nei ki a ia, ka karangatia e ia tokorua o ana pononga tane, me tetahi hoia karakia no te hunga e mahi tonu ana ki a ia;
And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
8 A, ka oti nga mea katoa te korero ki a ratou, ka tonoa ratou e ia ki Hopa.
And when he had declared all [these] things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Na i te aonga ake, i a ratou e haere ana, e whakatata atu ana ki te pa, ka kake a Pita ki runga ki te tuanui, i te ono o nga haora, ki te inoi:
On the morrow, as they were going on their journey, and drew nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour:
10 Na ka pa ki a ia te matekai, ka mea ki te kai: otira i a ratou e taka mai ana, ka tau iho te wairua matakite ki a ia;
And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
11 Na ka kite ia i te rangi kua tuwhera, me tetahi mea e heke iho ana, he mea tuku iho ma nga pito e wha, ki te whenua:
And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending to him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12 I roto i taua mea nga momo kararehe waewae wha katoa, nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua, me nga manu o te rangi.
In which were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping animals, and fowls of the air.
13 I reira ka puta mai he reo ki a ia, Whakatika, e Pita; patua, kainga.
And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 Ko Pita ia i mea, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano ahau i kai i te mea noa, i te mea poke ranei.
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 Ka puta mai ano he reo ki a ia, ka tuaruatia, Ko a te Atua i mea ai kia ma, kaua e whakanoatia e koe.
And the voice [spoke] to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
16 E toru meatanga o tenei: a i reira tonu ka tangohia atu taua mea ki te rangi.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received again into heaven.
17 I taua wa tonu, i a Pita e whakaaroaro ana i roto i a ia ki te tikanga o tenei whakakitenga, na, ko nga tangata i tonoa mai ra e Koroniria, tera kua uiui ki te whare o Haimona, tu ana i mua i te kuwaha,
Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and were standing before the gate,
18 Karanga ana mai, ui ana, kei reira ranei e noho ana a Pita, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Haimona.
And called, and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, lodged there.
19 A, i a Pita e whakaaro ana mo taua whakakitenga, ka mea te Wairua ki a ia, Nana, tokotoru enei tangata e rapu ana i a koe.
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Na whakatika, heke atu, haere tahi koutou, kei ruarua; naku hoki ratou i tono mai.
Arise therefore, and go down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
21 Na ka heke atu a Pita ki aua tangata, ka mea, Na, ko ahau tenei e rapu nei koutou: he aha te take o ta koutou haere mai?
Then Peter went down to the men who were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause for which ye have come?
22 Na ka mea ratou, Ko Koroniria ra, he keneturio, he tangata tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e korerotia paitia ana e te iwi katoa o nga Hurai, kua whakamaharatia ia e te Atua na tetahi anahera tapu kia tikina atu koe ki tona whare, kia rongo ia ki et ahi kupu i a koe.
And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words from thee.
23 Na karanga ana ia i a ratou ki roto hei manuhiri mana. A, i te aonga ake, ka whakatika ia ka haere atu me ratou, a ko etahi o nga teina no Hopa i haere tahi me ia.
Then he called them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow Peter went with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
24 A ao ake ka tomo ratou ki Hiharia. Na ko Koronira e tatari mai ana ki a ratou, he mea karanga nana kia huihui mai ona whanaunga me ona hoa tupu.
And on the morrow they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 A, no ka tomo atu a Pita, ka tutaki a Koroniria ki a ia, ka hinga ki ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshiped [him].
26 Otira ka whakaara ake a Pita i a ia, ka mea, E tu ki runga; he tangata nei ano ahau.
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up: I myself also am a man.
27 Na i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka tomo atu ia ki roto, ka kite i te menenga tokomaha,
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that had come together.
28 Ka mea atu ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou e kore e tika kia huihui te tangata o nga Hurai, kia haere atu ranei ki te tangata iwi ke: otiia kua whakakitea e te Atua ki ahau kia kaua e kiia tetahi tangata he noa, he poke.
And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come to one of another nation; but God hath shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
29 Koia ahau i haere mai ai, kihai i aha i te tikinga ake i ahau. Na ka ui nei ahau, he aha te take i tikina ake ai ahau?
Therefore I came [to you] without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
30 Ka mea a Koroniria, Ka wha nga ra inaianei tae mai ki tenei haora, e whakarite ana ahau i te inoinga o te iwa o nga haora i roto i toku whare; na, ko te tangata e tu ana i toku aroaro, kanapa tonu te kakahu,
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 E mea ana, E Koroniria, kua rangona tau inoi, a e maharatia ana au mahi atawhai i te aroaro o te Atua.
And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
32 Na, tonoa he tangata ki Hopa, ka karanga ki a koe i a Haimona, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita: he manuhiri ia i roto i te whare o Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha moana.
Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the house of [one] Simon a tanner, by the sea-side: who, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
33 I reira tonu ka tono tangata atu ahau ki a koe; na he pai rawa tou haerenga mai. No reira kei konei katoa matou kei te aroaro o te Atua, whakarongo ai ki nga mea katoa kua whakahaua e te Ariki ki a koe.
Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou hast come. Now therefore we are all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee from God.
34 Na ka puaki te mangai o Pita, ka mea, he pono ka kite ahau kahore a te Atua whakapai kanohi:
Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, In truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 Otiia i roto i nga tini iwi ko te tangata e wehi ana ki a ia, a e mahi ana i te tika, ka paingia e ia.
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
36 Ko te kupu i tukua mai e ia ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, he kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangimarie na Ihu Karaiti: ko ia nei te Ariki o te katoa:
The word which [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: )
37 Ko taua kupu, kei te mohio koutou, i kauwhautia ra puta noa i Huria katoa, i timata mai i Kariri, i muri o te iriiri i kauwhautia e Hoani;
That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Ara ko Ihu o Nahareta, ta te Atua whakawahinga i a ia ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te kaha: a haereere ana ia ki te mahi i te pai, ki te whakaora i te hunga katoa i pehia e te rewera; no te mea i a ia te Atua.
That God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.
39 Ko matou hoki nga kaiwhakaatu o nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki te whenua o nga Hurai, ki Hiruharama hoki: a whakamatea ana ia e ratou, he mea whakairi ki runga ki te rakau.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree.
40 Na ko ia i whakaarahia ake e te Atua i te toru o nga ra, a meinga ana ia kia kitea nuitia,
Him God raised the third day, and showed him openly;
41 Ehara i te mea e te iwi katoa, engari e te hunga i whiriwhiria i mua e te Atua, ara e matou, i kai tahi nei, i inu tahi nei me ia, i muri i tona aranga ake i te hunga mate.
Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, [even] to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 I whai kupu hoki ia ki a matou kia kauwhau ki te iwi, kia whakaatu, ko ia ta te Atua i whakarite ai hei kaiwhakawa mo nga tangata ora, mo nga tangata mate.
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was ordained by God [to be] the Judge of the living and the dead.
43 He kaiwhakaatu nga poropiti katoa mona, ara ma tona ingoa ka whiwhi ai ki te murunga hara nga tangata katoa e whakarongo ana ki a ia.
To him give all the prophets testimony, that through his name whoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 I a Pita ano e korero ana i enei kupu, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki te hunga katoa e whakarongo ana ki te kupu.
While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them who heard the word.
45 A, ko te hunga o te kotinga i whakapono nei, ko nga mea i haere tahi mai me Pita, miharo ana no te mea kua ringihia tahitia iho te Wairua Tapu ki nga Tauiwi.
And they of the circumcision who believed, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit.
46 I rongo hoki ratou ki nga reo i korero ai ratou, i whakanui ai i te Atua. I reira ka whakahoki a Pita,
For they heard them speak in languages and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 E ahei ranei te whakakahore e tetahi te wai, kei iriiria enei kua whiwhi tahi nei me tatou ki te Wairua Tapu?
Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we?
48 Na ka whakahau ia kia iriiria ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti. I reira ka tohe ratou ki a ia kia noho mo etahi ra.
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they requested him to tarry certain days.
