1 A, no ka taka mai te ra o te Petekoha, e noho tahi ana ratou katoa i te wahi kotahi.
Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Na puta whakarere mai ana he haruru nui no te rangi, ano he hau nui e keri ana, a ki katoa te whare i noho ai ratou.
Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Heoi puta mai ana ki a ratou etahi arero he mea manganga, ano he ahi, a tau iho ana ki runga ki tenei, ki tenei o ratou.
Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 Na ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, a ka timata te korero, rere ke ana nga reo, rite tonu ki ta te Wairua i hoatu ai ki a ratou kia korerotia.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
5 I Hiruharama ano e noho ana etahi Hurai, he hunga whakaaro, no nga iwi katoa i raro o te rangi.
Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
6 Na i te wa i rangona ai taua haruru, ka whakarapopoto te mano, ka pororaru, no te mea ka rangona e tera, e tera, tona reo e korerotia ana e ratou.
When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Na ka oho ratou katoa, ka miharo, ka mea, Na, ehara ianei enei katoa e korero nei i te hunga no Kariri?
They were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
8 He aha tatou ka rongo nei, ia tangata, ia tangata, i o tatou reo o to tatou whanautanga?
How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
9 Ko te hunga o Patia, o Meria, o Erama, ko nga mea e noho ana i Mehopotamia, i Huria, i Kaparokia, i Ponoto, i Ahia,
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
10 I Perukia, i pamapuria, i Ihipa, i nga wahi o Ripia e patata ana ki Hairini, me nga manuhiri o Roma, nga Hurai, nga porohiraiti,
Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Nga Kariti, nga Arapi, e rongo ana tatou i a ratou e whakapuaki ana i nga mahi tohu a te Atua, no tatou ano nga reo.
Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
12 A miharo katoa ana ratou, pohehe ana, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tenei?
They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Ko etahi i tawai, i mea, E ki ana ratou i te waina hou.
Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”
14 Otira ka whakatika a Pita me te tekau ma tahi, ka hikitia tona reo, ka whai kupu ki a ratou, E nga tangata o Huria, me koutou katoa e noho nei i Hiruharama, kia mohio koutou ki tenei, kia whai taringa mai ki aku kupu:
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 Kahore hoki o enei haurangi me ta koutou e whakaaro nei, ko te toru noa hoki tenei o nga haora o te ra;
For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.
16 Engari ko te mea tenei i korerotia e Hoera poropiti;
But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 A tenei ake kei nga ra whakamutunga, e ai ta te Atua, ka ringihia e ahau toku Wairua ki nga kikokiko katoa; ka poropiti hoki a koutou tama, a koutou tamahine, ka moemoea hoki o koutou kaumatua:
‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams.
18 Ae, ka ringihia ano e ahau toku Wairua i aua ra, ki aku pononga tane, ki aku pononga wahine; a ka poropiti ratou.
Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Ka whakakitea ano e ahau nga mea whakamiharo i te rangi i runga, me nga tohu ki te whenua i raro; he toto, he kapura, he paowa pongere:
I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows of smoke.
20 Ko te ra ka huri hei pouri, ko te marama hoki hei toto, i mua o te putanga mai o te ra o te Ariki, taua ra nui whakaharahara, rongonui.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 Na, ko reira ora ai te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki te ingoa o te Ariki.
It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
22 E nga tangata o Iharaira, kia rongo koutou ki enei kupu; Ko Ihu o Nahareta, he tangata i tino whaitohungia e te Atua ki a koutou i runga i nga merekara, i nga mea whakamiharo, i nga tohu i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i waenganui o koutou, e mo hio ana ano ra koutou.
“Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him amongst you, even as you yourselves know,
23 Ko tenei tangata i tukua atu, he mea i ata whakaaroa, a i mohiotia noatia ake e te Atua, tangohia ana e koutou, whakamatea iho, he mea ripeka na te ringa o nga tangata kino
him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
24 Na te Atua ia i whakaara ake, nana i wewete nga mamae o te mate: no te mea e kore ia e taea te pupuri e taua mate.
whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25 Ko ta Rawiri korero hoki tenei mona, I kite ahau i te Ariki i mua i toku aroaro i nga ra katoa; kei toku ringa matau nei ia, e kore ai ahau e whakakorikoria:
For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
26 Koia i koa ai toku ngakau, i whakamanamana ai toku arero: i takoto tumanako ai ano oku kikokiko.
Therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
27 No te mea e kore e waiho e koe toku wairua i te reinga, e kore ano e tukua tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau. (Hadēs g86)
because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Kua whakakitea e koe ki ahau nga huarahi o te ora; ka meinga e koe kia ki tonu toku koa i tou aroaro.
You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
29 E oku teina, e tika ana kia aronui he kupu ki a koutou mo te tupuna nei mo Rawiri, ara kua mate ia, kua tanumia, kei a tatou ano tona urupa, a taea noatia tenei ra.
“Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 I te mea he poropiti ia, a i mohio kua oati te Atua i te oati ki a ia, ka whakaputaina ake tetahi, he hua no tona hope, hei noho ki runga ki tona torona;
Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
31 A, i tana kite wawe i tenei, korerotia ana e ia te aranga o te Karaiti, ara kihai tona wairua i waiho i te reinga, kihai ano tona kikokiko i kite i te pirau. (Hadēs g86)
he foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Kua whakaarahia ake tenei Ihu e te Atua: ko matou katoa nga kaiwhakaatu.
This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.
33 A, ka oti nei ia te whakanui e te ringa matau o te Atua, a ka homai nei ki a ia e te Matua te Wairua Tapu i korerotia ra i mua, na kua ringihia mai e ia tenei, e kite nei, e rongo nei koutou.
Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 Kahore hoki a Rawiri i kake ki te rangi; heoi e mea ana ia, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai,
For David didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by my right hand
35 Kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
36 No reira ka kia matau pu te whare katoa o Iharaira, kua meinga e te Atua hei Ariki, hei Karaiti, taua Ihu i ripekatia na e koutou.
“Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 No ratou ka rongo, ka werowero i roto i o ratou ngakau, ka mea ki a Pita ratou ko era atu apotoro, E nga tuakana, me aha matou?
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ratou, Ripeneta, kia iriiria tena tangata, tena tangata o koutou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, hei murunga hara; a ka riro i a koutou te mea homai, ara te Wairua Tapu.
Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Ki a koutou hoki, ki a koutou tamariki, te kupu homai, ki te hunga katoa ano o tawhiti, ki nga mea e karangatia e te Ariki, e to tatou Atua, ki a ia.
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
40 He maha atu ano nga kupu i korero ai, i kauwhau ai ia, i mea ai, Me whakaora koutou i a koutou i tenei whakatupuranga parori ke.
With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
41 Na, ko nga mea tonu i tango i tana kupu i iriiria: me te mea e toru mano nga wairua i honoa mai ki a ratou i taua ra.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptised. There were added that day about three thousand souls.
42 A i u tonu ratou ki te whakaakoranga a nga apotoro, ki te kotahitanga, ki te whawhati taro, a ki te inoi.
They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
43 Tau iho ana te wehi ki nga wairua katoa; he maha hoki nga mea whakamiharo me nga tohu i meinga e nga apotoro.
Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
44 I noho tahi ano te hunga whakapono katoa, i huihuia ano hoki a ratou mea katoa;
All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
45 I hokona atu hoki a ratou rawa me nga taonga, tuwhaina ana ma te katoa, rite tonu ki te mate o tenei, o tenei.
They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 Haere tonu ana hoki ratou i tenei ra, i tenei ra ki te temepara, kotahi tonu ano te whakaaro; whawhati taro ana i o ratou kainga, kai ana i a ratou kai i runga i te koa, i te ngakau tapatahi;
Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 E whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua, e paingia ana hoki e te iwi katoa. A honoa mai ana e te Ariki ki a ratou i tena ra, i tena ra, i tena ra, te hunga e whakaorangia ana.
praising God and having favour with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
