Mahi 13

1 Na tera etahi poropiti me etahi kaiwhakaako i Anatioka, i te hahi i reira, ko Panapa, ko Himiona i huaina nei ko Nikera, ko Rukia no Hairini, ko Manaena, he mea whakatupu ngatahi nei raua ko Herora tetaraki, me Haora.

There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.

2 A, i a ratou e karakia ana ki te Ariki, e nohopuku ana, ka mea te Wairua Tapu, Motuhia mai ki ahau a Panapa raua ko Haora ki te mahi i karangatia ai raua e ahau.

Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.

3 Na, ka mutu ta ratou nohopuku me te inoi, a ka popoki iho i o ratou ringa ki a raua, ka tonoa atu raua kia haere.

Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.

4 Na, ka tonoa nei raua e te Wairua Tapu, ka haere ki Herukia; a rere atu ana i reira ki Kaiperu.

And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.

5 Na, i a raua i Harami, ka kauwhautia e raua te kupu a te Atua i roto i nga whare karakia o nga Hurai: i a raua ano a Hoani hei kaimahi.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.

6 A, no to ratou putanga i te motu katoa ki Papaho, ka kitea tetahi tangata makutu, he poropiti teka, he Hurai, ko Paraihu te ingoa:

So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,

7 I te tino kawana ia, i a Herekiu Paora; he tangata mahara a Herekiu. A karangatia ana e ia a Panapa raua ko Haora, a ka whai kia rongo i te kupu a te Atua.

Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.

8 Otira i tautohe ki a raua a Erima te kaimakutu, ko te whakamaoritanga hoki tenei o tona ingoa, i mea kia tahuri ke te tino kawana i te whakapono.

But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.

9 Otira ko Haora, e huaina nei ano ko Paora, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i whakamau i ona kanohi ki a ia,

Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10 A i mea, E te tangata ki tonu i te tinihanga, i nga tini mahi pokanoa, e te tama a te rewera, hoariri o nga mahi tika katoa, e kore ianei e mutu tau whakaputa ke i nga ara tika a te Ariki?

And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?

11 Nana, ianei pa ai te ringa o te Ariki ki a koe, ka matapotia koe, e kore e kite i te ra a taka noa tetahi wa. Na taka tonu iho ki a ia he kohu, he pouri; a haereere noa ia ki te rapu kaiarahi mona.

Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.

12 A, no te kitenga o te tino kawana i taua meatanga, ka whakapono ia, i miharo hoki ki te ako a te Ariki.

Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Na ka rere atu a Paora ratou ko ona hoa i Papaho, ka u ki Pereka i Pamapuria: a whakarere ana a Hoani i a raua, hoki ana ki Hiruharama.

Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.

14 Ko raua ia haere atu ana i Pereka, tae tonu atu ki Anatioka i Pihiria, a tomo ana ki te whare karakia i te ra hapati, noho ana.

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.

15 A ka mutu te korerotanga o te ture, o nga poropiti, ka tono tangata nga rangatira o te whare karakia ki a raua, ka mea, E hoa ma, ki te mea he kupu whakaako ta korua ki te hunga nei, korerotia.

And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Na ka tu a Paora ki runga, ka tawhiri tona ringa, ka mea, E nga tangata o Iharaira, e te hunga e wehi ana ki te Atua, whakarongo mai.

Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.

17 Na te Atua o tenei iwi, o Iharaira i whiriwhiri o tatou matua, a whakanuia ana e ia tenei iwi, i a ratou e noho manene ana i te whenua o Ihipa, i runga tonu ano te ringa i arahina mai ai ratou e ia i reira.

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.

18 Na me te mea e wha tekau nga tau i whakamanawanui ai ki to ratou ahua i te koraha.

And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

19 A ka whitu nga iwi ka ngaro i a ia i te whenua o Kanaana, ka hoatu e ia ki a ratou to ratou whenua hei whenua pumau, mo nga tau me te mea e wha rau e rima tekau:

And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.

20 A, muri iho i enei mea, ka hoatu e ia ki a ratou he kaiwhakawa, taea noatia a Hamuera poropiti.

Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.

21 A muri iho ka tono ratou ki tetahi kingi: a hoatu ana e te Atua ki a ratou a Haora, tama a Kihi, he tangata no te pu o Pineamine, a e wha tekau nga tau.

So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

22 A ka oti ia te whakataka, ka whakaarahia ake e ia a Rawiri hei kingi mo ratou; i whakaaturia hoki ia e ia, i korerotia, Kua kitea e ahau a Rawiri tama a Hehe, he tangata e whakaaetia ana e toku ngakau; ka meatia e ia nga mea katoa e pai ai ahau.

And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.

23 He uri no tenei tangata ta te Atua i homai ai ki a Iharaira, he Kaiwhakaora, ko Ihu, hei whakarite i te mea i korerotia ai i mua;

Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:

24 No mua tata ano hoki i tona haerenga mai te kauwhautanga a Hoani i te iriiri ripeneta, ki te iwi katoa o Iharaira.

When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 A ka tutuki a Hoani ki tona tutukitanga, ka mea ia, Ko wai koia ahau ki to koutou whakaaro? ehara ra ahau i a ia. Engari tera te haere mai ana tetahi i muri i ahau, ko ona hu e kore ahau e tau hei wewete.

And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

26 E oku tuakana, e nga tama o te kawei o Aperahama, e te hunga i roto i a koutou e wehi ana ki te Atua, kua homai te kupu o tenei ora kia whakapuakina ki a tatou.

Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.

27 Na ko te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, me o ratou rangatira, i te mea kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, ki nga reo ranei o nga poropiti e korerotia ana i nga hapati katoa, na ratou i whakarite aua reo, i a ratou i tuku i a ia ki te mate.

For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 Ahakoa kihai i kitea e ratou he mea e mate ai ia, ka tohe ratou ki a Pirato kia whakamatea ia.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

29 A, no ka rite i a ratou nga mea katoa i tuhituhia mona, tangohia iho ana ia i te rakau, whakatakotoria ana ki roto ki te urupa.

And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.

30 Heoi na te Atua ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate:

But God raised him vp from the dead.

31 A he maha nga ra i kitea ai ia e te hunga i haere tahi i a ia i Kariri ki Hiruharama, ko ratou nei nga kaiwhakaatu mona ki te iwi.

And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.

32 Na he kauwhau tenei na maua ki a koutou i te rongopai, i korerotia i mua ki nga matua,

And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,

33 Ara kua mana tenei i te Atua, hei mea ma a tatou tamariki, i a ia i whakaara nei i a Ihu: ko te mea hoki tena i tuhituhia i te rua o nga waiata, Ko taku Tama koe, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.

God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.

34 Ko tana korero ano tenei mona i whakaarahia nei e ia i te hunga mate, te hoki ano ki te pirau i muri iho, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou nga mea tapu, nga manaakitanga pono o Rawiri.

Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.

35 Koia hoki ia i mea ai i tetahi atu waiata, E kore koe e tuku i tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau.

Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

36 Ko Rawiri hoki i mahi i ta te Atua i pai ai i tona whakatupuranga ano, a moe iho, whakatakotoria ana ki ona matua, kite ana i te pirau:

Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.

37 Ko tenei ia i whakaarahia ake nei e te Atua, kihai ia i kite i te pirau.

But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.

38 Na kia mohio koutou, e oku tuakana, na tenei tangata te murunga hara e kauwhautia nei ki a koutou;

Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

39 Mana hoki nga tangata katoa, e whakapono ana, ka whakatikaia ai i nga mea katoa, e kore nei koutou e whakatikaia i runga i ta Mohi ture.

And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.

40 Na kia mahara, kei pa ki a koutou te mea i korerotia ra e nga poropiti.

Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,

41 Titiro mai, e te hunga whakahawea, ka miharo ai, a whakangaromia iho: ka mahia hoki e ahau he mahi i o koutou ra, he mahi e kore e whakaponohia e koutou, ki te whakapuakina e te tangata ki a koutou.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.

42 Na, i a ratou e puta ana ki waho, ka tohe ratou kia kauwhautia ano aua kupu ki a ratou i to muri iho hapati.

And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

43 Heoi ka pakarukaru te huihui, he tokomaha nga Hurai me nga porohiraiti karakia i aru i a Paora raua ko Panapa: a ka korero raua ki a ratou, ka ako kia mau tonu ratou ki te aroha noa o te Atua.

Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

44 Na i to muri iho hapati ka huihui mai te pa, me te mea ko ratou katoa, ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua.

And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.

45 No te kitenga ia o nga Hurai i te huihui, ka ki ratou i te hae, ka whakakahore ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora, ka whakateka, ka kohukohu.

But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.

46 Katahi a Paora raua ko Panapa ka korero maia atu, ka mea, I takoto te tikanga kia matua korerotia te kupu a te Atua ki a koutou: na ka peia nei e koutou, ka whakaaro koutou e kore koutou e tau mo te ora tonu, na ka tahuri atu nei maua ki nga Tau iwi. (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 I penei hoki te ako a te Ariki ki a matou, Kua waiho koe e ahau hei marama ki nga Tauiwi, kia ai koe hei oranga puta noa i nga pito o te whenua.

For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.

48 Na, i te rongonga o nga Tauiwi, ka hari, ka whakakororia i te kupu a te Ariki: ka whakapono ano te hunga i rite mo te ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)

49 A paku ana te kupu a te Ariki puta noa i taua whenua.

Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.

50 Otira i whakaohokia e nga Hurai nga wahine karakia, rangatira, me nga tangata nunui o te pa, a ara ana i a ratou he whakatoi mo Paora raua ko Panapa, peia ana raua i o ratou wahi.

But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.

51 Heoi ruia atu ana e raua te puehu o o raua waewae ki a ratou, a haere ana ki Ikoniuma.

But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

52 Na ki tonu nga akonga i te hari, i te Wairua Tapu.

And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
