Mahi 14

1 Na i Ikoniuma ka haere tahi raua ki roto ki te whare karakia o nga Hurai, a ka korero, no ka whakapono tona tini o nga Hurai, o nga Kariki.

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and Greeks believed.

2 Na nga Hurai whakateka ia i whakaoho, i whakakino nga ngakau o nga Tauiwi ki nga teina.

But the Jews that disbelieved stirred up and embittered the minds of the gentiles against the brethren.

3 Na he nui te wa i noho ai raua i reira, i maia ai te korero i nga mea a te Ariki, nana i whakaae te kupu o tona aroha noa, me te homai ano e ia nga tohu me nga mea whakamiharo kia meatia e o raua ringa.

They abode therefore a long time there, speaking boldly in reliance on the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be wrought by their a hands.

4 Otiia i wehewehea nga tangata o te pa: ko etahi i u ki nga Hurai, ko etahi ki nga apotoro.

But the multitude of the city was divided; and some held with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

5 A, i nga Tauiwi ratou ko nga Hurai, ko o ratou rangatira hoki e huaki ana ki te whakatupu kino, ki te aki i a raua ki te kohatu,

And when a movement was made both of the gentiles, and the Jews with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

6 Ka tupato raua, a rere ana ki Raihitara, ki Rerepe, ki nga pa o Raikaonia, ki pahaki tata atu ano hoki:

they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the neighboring country;

7 A kauwhautia ana e raua te rongopai ki reira.

and they were publishing the glad tidings there.

8 I Raihitara hoki e noho ana tetahi tangata waewae ngoikore, he kopa no te kopu mai o tona whaea, kahore i haere i mua iho.

And at Lystra there sat a certain man who had not the use of his feet, a cripple from his birth, who never had walked.

9 I rongo tenei i a Paora e korero ana: ko te tirohanga putanga atu o tera ki a ia, ka kite he whakapono tona e ora ai;

This man heard Paul speaking; who looking steadily at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

10 He nui noa atu tona reo ki te karanga atu, E tu ou waewae ki runga. Na mokowhiti ake ana ia, haere ana.

said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.

11 No te kitenga o nga tangata i ta Paora i mea ai, ka ara to ratou reo, ka mea i te reo o Raikaonia, Kua heke iho nga atua ki a tatou, no nga tangata te ahua.

And the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 A huaina ana e ratou a Panapa ko Hupita, a Paora ko Merekurai, no te mea ko ia te pu korero.

And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.

13 Na ka kawea mai e te tohunga o Hupita, i te ngutu nei o te pa tona temepara, he puru, he tupare ki nga kuwaha, ka mea kia patua he whakahere e ratou ko nga mano.

Then the priest of Jupiter, that was in front of the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have offered sacrifice with the multitudes.

14 Otira, i te rongonga o nga apotoro, o Panapa raua ko Paora, ka haehae i o raua kakahu, a rere ana ki roto ki nga tangata, ka karanga atu,

But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, when they heard of it, rent their garments, and rushed forth to the multitude, crying out

15 Ka mea, E mara ma, he aha koutou ka mea ai i enei mea? he tangata ano maua, he rite tahi ki a koutou te tu, e kauwhau ana hoki i te rongopai, kia tahuri ke koutou i enei mea tekateka noa ki te Atua ora, nana nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana me o reira mea katoa:

and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like nature with you, bringing to you glad tidings, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are therein;

16 I nga whakatupuranga hoki kua pahemo atu, i tukua e ia nga iwi katoa kia haere i o ratou ake ara.

who in the ages past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways;

17 Otiia kihai i tukua e ia kia kahore he kaiwhakaatu mona; i atawhai hoki ia, i homai ano e ia ki a koutou te ua o te rangi, me nga po hua, i makona ai o koutou ngakau i te kai, i te koa.

although he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

18 A ka korerotia enei kupu, na mutu whakauaua i a raua te mea a nga tangata ki te patu whakahere ma raua.

And with these words, they hardly restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

19 Otira ka haere mai etahi Hurai i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma: a ka whakakiki ratou i nga mano a akina ana a Paora ki te kohatu, toia ana ki waho o te pa, hua noa kua mate.

But there came thither Jews from Antioch and Iconium; who, having persuaded the multitudes, and stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

20 Otiia i nga akonga e tu ana i tona taha, ka whakatika ia, haere ana ki roto ki te pa: a i te aonga ake ka haere raua ko Panapa ki Rerepe.

But the disciples having gathered around him, he rose up, and came into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 A, no ka kauwhau raua i te rongopai ki taua pa, a he tokomaha ka meinga hei akonga, ka hoki raua ki Raihitara, ki Ikoniuma, ki Anatioka;

And when they had published the glad tidings to that city, and had made many disciples, they went back to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch;

22 Whakau ana i nga wairua o nga akonga, whakahau ana i a ratou kia mau tonu ki te whakapono, kua takoto hoki te tikanga, me na runga i nga matenga maha he ara atu mo tatou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying that it is through many afflictions that we mast enter into the kingdom of God.

23 A, no ka whakaritea e raua he kaumatua mo ratou i tenei hahi, i tenei hahi, me te inoi ano raua, me te nohopuku, ka tukua atu ratou e raua ki te Ariki, i whakapono nei ratou.

And having appointed for them elders in every church, they prayed with fasting, and commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.

24 Na ka ka haere raua na waenganui o Pihiria, tae tonu atu ki Pamapuria.

And having gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia;

25 A ka oti te kauwhau e raua te kupu ki Pereka, na ka haere raua ki raro ki Ataria.

and when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,

26 A rere atu ana i reira ki Anatioka, ki te wahi i tukua ai raua ki te aroha noa o te Atua, mo te mahi ka oti nei i a raua.

and thence set sail for Antioch, whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.

27 Na ka tae raua, ka huihuia te hahi, ka korerotia nga mea i mahi tahi ai te Atua me raua, ko tana uakanga hoki i te tatau o te whakapono ki nga Tauiwi.

And when they had arrived and had gathered the church together, they related what great things God had wrought with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the gentiles.

28 A kihai i iti te wa i noho ai raua i reira ki nga akonga.

And they abode no little time with the disciples.
