Mahi 21
1 Heoi ka wehe matou i a ratou, ka rere, a tika tonu atu, tae noa ki Koha, a ao ake te ra kei Roro, i reira atu ki Patara.
And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
2 Na ka rokohanga tetahi kaipuke e whakawhiti atu ana ki Pinika, a eke ana matou ki runga, rere ana.
And as there was a ship going to Phoenicia, we went in it.
3 A ka kitea Kaiperu, ka mahue ake i te taha ki maui, ka rere atu matou ki Hiria, a ka u ki Taira: hei reira hoki te kaipuke ruke ai i tona utanga.
And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.
4 A ka kitea nga akonga, e whitu nga ra i noho ai matou ki reira: ka korero hoki ratou ki a Paora, he mea na te Wairua, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.
And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 A ka rite aua ra o matou, ka puta atu matou, ka haere; me te kawe ano ratou katoa, me nga wahine, me nga tamariki, i a matou a waho ra ano o te pa: na ka tukua o matou turi ki te tahatai, ka inoi;
And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,
6 Katahi ka poroporoaki matou tetahi ki tetahi; a eke ana matou ki te kaipuke; ko ratou ia i hoki ki o ratou kainga.
We said our last words to one another, and got into the ship, and they went back to their houses.
7 A ka tutuki to matou rerenga atu i Taira, ka tae ki Toromai, na ka oha atu ki nga teina, a kotahi te ra i noho ai ki a ratou.
And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day.
8 I te aonga ake ka turia atu e matou, ka haere ki Hiharia: a tomo ana ki te whare o Piripi kaikauwhau, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tokowhitu; noho ana i a ia.
And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.
9 Na tokowha nga tamahine a taua tangata, he wahine, he poropiti.
And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophets.
10 A ka maha o matou ra i noho ai, ka haere mai tetahi poropiti i Huria, ko Akapu te ingoa.
And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea.
11 A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a matou, ka mau ki te whitiki o Paora, herea iho e ia ona ake ringa me ona waewae, ka mea, Ko ta te Wairua Tapu korero tenei, E peneitia te here o te tangata nona tenei whitiki e nga Hurai i Hiruharama, e tukua atu a no ia ki nga ringa o nga Tauiwi.
And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Heoi, i to matou rongonga i enei mea, ka tohe matou ko nga tangata o taua kainga, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.
And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem.
13 Na ko te whakahokinga a Paora, he aha ta koutou e tangi, e whakangakaukore nei i ahau? ehara hoki i te mea ko te here anake taku e pai ai, engari ko te mate ano hoki ki Hiruharama, mo te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.
Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 A, no tona korenga i rongo, ka mutu ta matou, ka mea, Kia meatia ta te Ariki e pai ai.
And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done.
15 A ka pahemo enei ra, ka takai matou i a matou mea, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.
And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
16 I haere tahi ano i a matou etahi o nga akonga o Hiharia, na ratou i mau ake a Nahona o Kaiperu, he akonga tawhito hei tukunga atu mo matou.
And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.
17 A, i to matou taenga ki Hiruharama, ka koa nga teina ki a matou.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us.
18 I te aonga ake ka haere tahi matou ko Paora ki a Hemi: i reira ano nga kaumatua katoa.
And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.
19 Na ka oha ia ki a ratou, ka korerotia takitahitia nga mea i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i roto i nga Tauiwi.
And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles.
20 No to ratou rongonga, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kite koe, e to matou teina, i nga mano tini o nga Hurai kua whakapono nei; e uaua katoa ana hoki ki te ture:
And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law:
21 Kua rongo ano hoki ratou ki a koe, e whakaako ana koe i nga Hurai katoa i roto i nga Tauiwi, kia whakarerea a Mohi, e mea ana kia kaua ratou e kokoti i nga tamariki, kia kaua ano e haere i runga i nga ritenga o mua.
And they have had news of you, how you have been teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to give up the law of Moses, and not to give circumcision to their children, and not to keep the old rules.
22 Na, me pehea? e kore hoki e kore ka rongo ratou ki tou taenga mai.
What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.
23 Na, me mea e koe tenei e korerotia nei e matou ki a koe: Tokowha o matou tangata, he kupu taurangi ta ratou;
Do this, then, which we say to you: We have four men who have taken an oath;
24 Tangohia enei, kia purea ngatahitia koutou, mau ano e utu a ratou mea, kia waruhia ai o ratou matenga: a ka kite ratou katoa he teka noa nga mea i korerotia mou: engari ko koe, he tika tau haere, kei te whakarite ano koe i te ture.
Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.
25 Tena ko nga Tauiwi kua whakapono, kua tuhituhi atu matou, kua whakatakoto tikanga atu, kia tupato ratou i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, i te toto, i te mea kua notia te kaki, i te moe tahae.
But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.
26 Na ka mau a Paora ki aua tangata, a i te aonga ake ka pure tahi, ka haere tahi ratou ki roto ki te temepara, hei whakaatu ka whakaritea nga ra mo te purenga, kia whakaherea ra ano he whakahere mo tetahi, mo tetahi o ratou.
Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.
27 Heoi ka tata nga ra e whitu te taka, ka kitea ia i roto i te temepara e etahi Hurai o Ahia: na ratou i whakaoho te mano katoa, a ka pa o ratou ringa ki a ia,
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the Temple, got the people together and put their hands on him,
28 Ka karanga, E nga tangata o Iharaira, awhinatia mai: Ko te tangata tenei e whakaako nei i nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa ki nga mea whakahe mo te iwi, mo te ture, mo tenei kainga hoki: kua kawea mai ano e ia etahi Kariki ki roto ki te temepa ra, a ka noa nei i a ia tenei wahi tapu.
Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.
29 I kite hoki ratou i mua he hoa nona i roto i te pa, ko Toropimu o Epeha; tohu noa ratou, kua mauria mai ia e Paora ki roto ki te temepara.
For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.
30 Na ka oho te pa katoa, ka oma nga tangata: a ka mau ratou ki a Paora, toia ana ia ki waho o te temepara: tutakina tonutia atu nga tatau.
And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.
31 Na i a ratou e whai ana kia patua ia, ka tae te rongo ki te rangatira mano o te hapu hoia, kua tutu te puehu i Hiruharama katoa.
And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.
32 Na hohoro tonu tana mau ki etahi hoia, ki etahi keneturio, a oma iho ana ki a ratou: a, no to ratou kitenga i te rangatira mano, i nga hoia hoki, ka mutu te patu i a Paora.
And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.
33 Na ka whakatata mai te rangatira mano, ka tango i a ia, ka mea kia herea ia ki nga mekameka e rua; a ka ui ko wai ia, i aha hoki ia.
Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.
34 Na he karanga ano ta etahi, he karanga ke ta etahi, i roto i te mano: na kihai ia i mohio ki te tino tikanga, i te ngangau hoki, a whakahaua ana kia arahina ia ki te pa.
And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.
35 A, no tona taenga ki te pikitanga, ka hikitia ia e nga hoia i te taututetutenga hoki a te tangata;
And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;
36 I aru hoki te huihui o te iwi, me te karanga, Whakamatea ia.
For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!
37 A, no ka whano a Paora te kawea ki roto ki te pa, ka mea ia ki te rangatira mano, E pai ana ranei kia korero ahau i tetahi kupu ki a koe? Ka mea ia, E matau ana ranei koe ki te reo Kariki?
And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?
38 Ehara oi koe i te Ihipiana, nana nei i whakatupu te tutu i mua ake ra, a mauria ana e ia nga tangata kohuru e wha mano ki te koraha?
Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?
39 Ka mea a Paora, he Hurai ahau, no Tarahu o Kirikia, he tangata tupu no taua pa, ehara hoki i te pa ingoakore: na ko taku inoi tenei ki a koe, tukua ahau kia korero ki te iwi.
But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.
40 Na tukua ana e ia, a tu ana a Paora ki te pikitanga, ka tawhiri tona ringa ki te iwi. Na mutu pu te turituri, ka korero ia, no nga Hiperu te reo, ka mea,
And when he let him do so, Paul, from the steps, made a sign with his hand to the people, and when they were all quiet, he said to them in the Hebrew language,
