Mahi 17
1 Na, ka haereere raua i Amapipori, i Aporonia, ka tae ki Teharonika; he whare karakia no nga Hurai i reira:
As they made their iorney thorow Amphipolis and Appolonia they came to Thessalonica where was a synagoge of the Iewes.
2 A ka tomo atu a Paora ki a ratou, he tikanga hoki nana, a e toru nga hapati i korerorero ai ki a ratou i roto i nga karaipiture,
And Paul as his maner was went in vnto them and thre saboth doyes declared oute of the scripture vnto them
3 I whakapuaki ai, i korero ai, kua takoto hoki te tikanga kia mamae a te Karaiti, kia ara mai hoki i te hunga mate; a ko tenei Ihu, e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki a koutou, ko ia te Karaiti.
openynge and allegynge that Christ must nedes have suffred and rysen agayne from deeth and that this Iesus was Christ whom (sayde he) I preache to you.
4 Na ka whakapono etahi o ratou, ka piri hoki ki a Paora raua ko Hira; he tokomaha hoki o nga Kariki karakia, kihai hoki i ruarua nga wahine rangatira.
And some of them beleved and came and companyed with Paul and Sylas: also of the honourable Grekes a greate multitude and of the chefe wemen not a feawe.
5 Heoi ka hae nga Hurai, ka tango ki a ratou i etahi tangata kikino o te hunga mangere, ka huihuia nga tangata, ka whakaohotia te pa; na ko te huakanga ki te whare o Hahona, ka mea kia whakaputaina raua ki te iwi.
But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.
6 A, no te korenga i kitea raua, ka toia e ratou a Hahona ratou ko etahi teina ki nga rangatira o te pa, ka karanga, Kua tae mai ki konei nga tangata i whakatutungia ai te ao;
But when they founde them not they drue Iason and certayne brethren vnto the heedes of the cite cryinge: these that trouble the worlde are come hydder also
7 Kua puritia hoki e Hahona; e tika ke ana nga mahi a tenei hunga katoa i nga ture a Hiha, e mea ana, tera atu tetahi kingi, ko Ihu.
which Iason hath receaved prevely. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar affirmynge another kynge one Iesus.
8 Na, ka rongo te mano ratou ko nga rangatira o te pa ki enei mea, ka pororaru.
And they troubled the people and the officers of the cite when they hearde these thinges.
9 Na ka tango ratou i etahi moni pupuri i a Hahona ratou ko era atu, a tukua atu ana ratou.
And when they were sufficiently answered of Iason and of the other they let the goo.
10 Na tonoa tonutia atu e nga teina a Paora raua ko Hira i te po ki Peria: i to raua taenga atu, ka haere ki te whare karakia o nga Hurai.
And the brethren immediatly sent awaye Paul and Sylas by nyght vnto Berrea. Which when they were come thyther they entred into ye synagoge of the Iewes.
11 Engari enei i nui atu te ahua rangatira i to nga tangata o Teharonika, i hohoro tonu ratou te tango i te kupu, a i tenei ra, i tenei ra i rapu i roto i nga karaipiture i te tikanga o enei mea.
These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.
12 Na he tokomaha o ratou i whakapono; kihai hoki i tokoiti nga wahine rangatira o nga Kariki, me nga tane hoki.
And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not a feawe.
13 Otira, i te mohiotanga o nga Hurai o Teharonika, tera te kupu a te Atua te kauwhautia ana e Paora ki Peria, ka haere hoki ratou ki reira ki te whakaoho, ki te whakararuraru i nga mano.
When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that ye worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.
14 Na tonoa tonutia atu e nga teina a Paora kia haere tae noa ki te moana: ko Hira ia raua ko Timoti i noho ki reira.
And then by and by ye brethre sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 Na ka kawea a Paora e ona kaiarahi ki Atena: a, ka riro he kupu ki a Hira raua ko Timoti kia hohoro te haere ki a ia, ka hoki ratou.
And they that gyded Paul brought him vnto Attens and receaved a comaundment vnto Sylas and Timotheus for to come to him at once and came their waye.
16 Na, i a Paora e tatari ana ki a raua i Atene, ka oho tona wairua i roto i a ia, i tana kitenga i te pa e ki ana i te whakapakoko.
Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.
17 Na totohe ana ia i roto i te whare karakia ki nga Hurai ratou ko nga tangata karakia, i te kainga hoko hoki i nga ra katoa ki nga tangata i pono ki a ia.
Then he disputed in the synagoge wt the Iewes and with the devout persones and in the market dayly with the that came vnto him.
18 A ka ngangare ki a ia etahi tohunga o nga Epikureana, o nga Toika. Ko etahi i mea, he aha ta tenei tangata korerorero e mea nei? i mea etahi, Me te mea he kaiwhakapuaki ia i etahi atua tauhou: mo tana kauwhau i a Ihu, i te aranga, ki a ratou.
Certayne philosophers of ye Epicures and of ye stoyckes disputed with him. And some ther were which sayde: what will this babler saye. Other sayd: he semeth to be a tydynges bringer of newe devyls because he preached vnto them Iesus and the resurreccion.
19 Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, ka kawea ki Areopaka, ka mea, Kia mohio matou, he aha ranei tenei ako hou e korerotia nei e koe?
And they toke him and brought him into Marsestrete sayinge: maye we not knowe what this newe doctrine wher of thou speakest is?
20 Poka ke hoki nga mea e mauria mai nei e koe ki o matou taringa: koia matou i mea ai kia mohio, he aha enei mea.
For thou bringest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wolde knowe therfore what these thinges meane.
21 Ka mutu hoki ta nga tangata katoa o Atene, ratou ko nga manuhiri e noho ana i reira, e watea ai, ko te korero ranei, ko te whakarongo ranei ki tetahi mea hou.
For all the Attenians and straungers which were there gave the selves to nothinge els but ether to tell or to heare newe tydynges.
22 Na ka tu a Paora i waenganui o Areopaka, ka mea, E nga tangata o Atene, i nga mea katoa ka kite ahau he ahua nui ke to koutou wehi ki nga atua maori.
Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious.
23 I ahau hoki e haereere ana, e matakitaki ana i nga mea e karakia nei koutou, ka kite ahau i tetahi aata i tuhia nei i runga, KI TE ATUA NGARO. Heoi ko ta koutou e karakia kuware nei, ko ia taku e whakaatu nei ki a koutou.
For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.
24 Ko te Atua, nana nei i hanga te ao me nga mea katoa i roto, ko ia nei te Ariki o te rangi, o te whenua, e kore ia e noho ki nga whare i hanga e te ringa;
God that made the worlde and all that are in it seynge that he is Lorde of heven and erth he dwelleth not in temples made with hondes
25 E kore ano e mahia he mea mana e te ringa tangata, me te mea he mate nona ki tetahi aha ranei, ko ia hoki hei homai i te ora, i te manawa, i nga mea katoa, ki nga tangata katoa;
nether is worshipped with mennes hondes as though he neded of eny thinge seinge he him selfe geveth lyfe and breeth to all men every where
26 Kotahi ano te toto i hanga ai e ia nga iwi katoa o nga tangata, hei noho ki te mata katoa o te whenua, nana hoki i whakatakoto o ratou wa i whakaritea i mua, me nga kaha o to ratou nohoanga;
and hath made of one bloud all nacions of men for to dwell on all the face of the erthe and hath assigned before how longe tyme and also the endes of their inhabitacion
27 Kia rapu ai ratou i te Atua, me kore e whawha, e kite i a ia, ahakoa ra kahore ia i matara atu i a tatou katoa:
that they shuld seke God yf they myght fele and fynde him though he be not farre from every one of vs.
28 Nana hoki tatou i ora ai, i korikori ai, i noho ai; i pera hoki te korero a etahi o o koutou kaitito, Ko tatou hoki tona uri.
For in him we lyve move and have oure beynge as certayne of youre awne Poetes sayde. For we are also his generacion.
29 Na, he uri nei tatou no te Atua, e kore e tika kia mea tatou, kei te rite te Atua ki te koura, ki te hiriwa, ki te kohatu, ki te mea i whakairoa e te mohio, e te whakaaro o te tangata.
For as moche then as we are the generacion of God we ought not to thynke that the godhed is lyke vnto golde silver or stone graven by crafte and ymaginacion of man.
30 Na kahore i whakaaroa e te Atua nga wa o te kuwaretanga; inaianei ia kua whakahau ia i nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa kia ripeneta:
And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not: but now he byddeth all men every where repent
31 Kua rite hoki i a ia he ra e whakawa ai ia i te ao i runga i te tika, ara ma te tangata kua whakaritea nei e ia; kua tukua nei hoki he tohu ki nga tangata katoa, i tana whakaarahanga i a ia i te hunga mate.
because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.
32 Na ka rangona e ratou te aranga o te hunga mate, ka tawai etahi; ko etahi i mea, Taihoa matou e whakarongo ano ki tenei mea i a koe.
When they hearde of ye resurreccion from deeth some mocked and other sayde: we will heare the agayne of this matter.
33 Heoi puta atu ana a Paora i waenganui i a ratou.
So Paul departed from amonge them.
34 Ko etahi tangata ia i piri ki a ia, i whakapono; i roto i a ratou a Rionaihia no Areopaka, ko tetahi wahine, ko Ramari te ingoa, ratou ko etahi atu.
Howbeit certayne men clave vnto Paul and beleved amonge the which was Dionysius a senatour and a woman named Damaris and other with them.
