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.
Having found the talmidim, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Ruach, that he should not 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;
When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
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 farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.

Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Ruach ha-Kodesh: 'So will the Judeans in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
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.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up 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 answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua."
14 A, no tona korenga i rongo, ka mutu ta matou, ka mea, Kia meatia ta te Ariki e pai ai.
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 A ka pahemo enei ra, ka takai matou i a matou mea, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

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.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
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:
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous 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.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22 Na, me pehea? e kore hoki e kore ka rongo ratou ki tou taenga mai.
What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear 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;
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
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.
Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping 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 concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
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 the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered 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,
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid 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, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
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 previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought 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.
All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately 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.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
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.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating 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 commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired 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.
Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 A, no tona taenga ki te pikitanga, ka hikitia ia e nga hoia i te taututetutenga hoki a te tangata;
When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 I aru hoki te huihui o te iwi, me te karanga, Whakamatea ia.
for the crowd of the people followed after, 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?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know 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 not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
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, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak 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,
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
