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 at Iconium they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great number both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.
2 Na nga Hurai whakateka ia i whakaoho, i whakakino nga ngakau o nga Tauiwi ki nga teina.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and inflamed 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 therefore stayed a considerable time speaking freely of the Lord, who bare witness to the word of his grace, and gave signs and wonders to be done by their 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 were for the Jews, and some for 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,
but when there was an effort both of the Gentiles and of the Jews, together with their rulers, to offer violence to them, and to stone them;
6 Ka tupato raua, a rere ana ki Raihitara, ki Rerepe, ki nga pa o Raikaonia, ki pahaki tata atu ano hoki:
being apprised of it they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the adjacent country:
7 A kauwhautia ana e raua te rongopai ki reira.
and there they preached the gospel.
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 there was sitting at Lystra, a man disabled in his feet, who had never walked at all, being lame from his birth.
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 earnestly 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 people, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, saying in the Lycaonian tongue, The gods are 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.
And the priest of Jupiter, whose image was before the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and with the people would have offered sacrifices to them.
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 clothes, and ran in among the people,
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:
crying out, and saying, "Sirs, why do ye these things? we also are men subject to the like infirmities with you, and we preach the gospel unto you, that ye may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea,
16 I nga whakatupuranga hoki kua pahemo atu, i tukua e ia nga iwi katoa kia haere i o ratou ake ara.
and all things therein, who in generations past suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways: though He left not Himself without witness;
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.
for He did us good, in giving us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 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 saying these things, they with difficulty restrained the people 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 some Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and persuading the multitude, stoned Paul, and 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 when the disciples were gathered round 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 preached the gospel to that city, and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and 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 telling them that through many afflictions we must 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 when they had appointed them elders in every church, praying and fasting, they recommended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24 Na ka ka haere raua na waenganui o Pihiria, tae tonu atu ki Pamapuria.
And passing 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 preached the word at 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 from thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for the work which they had now fulfilled.
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 were come, and had gathered the church together, they related what God had done by them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 A kihai i iti te wa i noho ai raua i reira ki nga akonga.
And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.
