Mahi 4
1 A, i a raua e korero ana ki te iwi, ka puta ohorere mai ki a raua nga tohunga, te rangatira o te temepara me nga Haruki,
As Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came to them,
2 He nui te pawera mo ta raua ako i te iwi, mo te kauwhau hoki i runga i a Ihu i te aranga mai i te hunga mate.
greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Na ka mau o ratou ringa ki a raua, meinga ana kia tiakina kia ao ra ano te ra, i te mea hoki kua ahiahi.
So they arrested them and took them into custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
4 Otira he tokomaha o te hunga i rongo i te kupu i whakapono, a ko te tokomaha o nga tangata me te mea e rima mano.
But many who heard the word believed, and the number of men who believed came to about five thousand.
5 Na i te aonga ake ka huihui o ratou rangatira, nga kaumatua, me nga karaipi ki Hiruharama,
On the next day, the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 Ratou ko te tino tohunga, ko Anaha, ko Kaiapa, ko Hoani, ko Arehanara, me nga whanaunga katoa o te tohunga nui.
along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were members of the high-priestly family.
7 A, no ka whakaturia raua ki waenganui, ka ui ratou, Tena koa te mana, te ingoa ranei, i meatia ai tenei e korua?
After making Peter and John stand before them, they began to question them: “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
8 Katahi a Pita, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ki a ratou, E nga rangatira o te iwi, e nga kaumatua, o Iharaira.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 Mehemea ki te uiuia maua aianei mo te mahi pai i mahia ki te tangata haua, i peheatia taua tangata i ora ai;
if we are being examined today about a good deed done to a disabled man and by what means he has been healed,
10 Kia mohio koutou katoa, me te iwi katoa o Iharaira, na te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, i ripekatia na e koutou, i whakaarahia ra e te Atua i te hunga mate, nana tenei i tu ora ai i to koutou aroaro.
let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.
11 Ko ia te kohatu i whakakahoretia na e koutou, e nga kaihanga, a kua meinga nei hei mo te kokonga.
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12 Kahore hoki he ora i tetahi atu: kahore hoki he ingoa ke atu i raro o te rangi kua homai ki nga tangata, e ora ai tatou.
There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name given among men by which we must be saved.”
13 Na ka kite ratou i te maia o Pita raua ko Hoani, a ka matau ki a raua ehara i te mea whakaako, engari he hunga kuware, ka miharo ratou; ka mohio hoki he hoa raua no Ihu.
When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and when they realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Ka kite hoki i te tangata i whakaorangia e tu tahi ana ratou, kahore rawa i taea tetahi kupu whakahe ma ratou.
But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
15 Na ka tono ratou i a raua kia haere i waho o te runanga, a ka korerorero ki a ratou ano,
So they ordered Peter and John to step out from the Sanhedrin while they conferred with one another,
16 Ka mea, Me aha e tatou enei tangata? ka kite katoa nei hoki te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, he merekara nui kua meinga nei, a e kore e ahei te whakakorekore e tatou.
saying, “What should we do with these men? For it is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them, and we cannot deny it.
17 Otiia, kia kaua ai e horapa atu ki roto ki te iwi, kia kaha ta tatou whakawehi i a raua, kei korero ki tetahi tangata a muri nei i runga i tenei ingoa.
But so that it may not spread any further among the people, we will strictly warn them to speak no more in this name to any of the people.”
18 A karangatia ana raua e ratou, ka mea ki a raua, Kia kaua rawa e korero, kia kaua e whakaako, i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.
Then they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 Na ka whakahoki a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakaaroa e koutou, ka tika ranei ki te aroaro o te Atua ko koutou kia whakarangona, kaua te Atua?
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge.
20 E kore hoki e ahei kia kaua e korerotia e maua nga mea i kite ai, i rongo ai matou.
For we cannot help but speak about what we have seen and heard.”
21 Heoi whakawehi ana ano ratou i a raua, a tukua ana kia haere, kihai hoki i kitea he mea e whiua ai raua, i wehi i te iwi: i whakakororia katoa nei nga tangata i te Atua mo taua mea i meatia;
So after threatening Peter and John further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
22 No te mea kua neke atu i te wha tekau nga tau o te tangata i meinga nei ki a ia tenei merekara whakaora.
For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
23 A ka oti raua te tuku, ka haere ki o raua hoa, a korerotia ana nga mea katoa i korero ai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua ki a raua.
After being released, Peter and John went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 A, i to ratou rongonga, ka karanga ake ratou ki te Atua, he kotahi te reo, ka mea, E te Ariki, nau nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana, me o reira mea katoa:
When they heard this, they lifted up their voices with one accord to God and said, “Master, yoʋ are God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.
25 Nau te kupu i korerotia e te Wairua Tapu, na te mangai o to matou matua, o tau pononga, o Rawiri, He aha ka nana ai nga Tauiwi, ka whakaaro horihori ai nga iwi?
It is yoʋ who said through the mouth of yoʋr servant David, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish things?
26 I whakatika ake nga kingi o te whenua, i huihui ngatahi nga rangatira, ki te whawhai ki te Ariki raua ko tana Karaiti.
The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers are gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed.’
27 He pono nei hoki te huihuinga ki tenei pa o Herora, o Ponotia Pirato, o nga Tauiwi, ratou ko te iwi o Iharaira, ki tau Tama tapu, ki a Ihu i whakawahia nei e koe,
For indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against yoʋr holy servant Jesus, whom yoʋ anointed,
28 Ki te mea i ta tou ringa, i ta tou whakaaro i whakatakoto ai i mua kia meatia.
to do whatever yoʋr hand and yoʋr plan had foreordained to take place.
29 Na, titiro iho, e te Ariki, aianei ki a ratou kupu whakawehi: tukua mai hoki ki au pononga kia tino maia te korero i tau kupu,
And now, Lord, take note of their threats and grant it to yoʋr servants to speak yoʋr word with all boldness,
30 Ko koe ia e totoro mai ana tou ringa ki te whakaora; kia meatia hoki te tohu, he mea whakamiharo i runga i te ingoa o tau Pononga tapu, o Ihu.
as yoʋ stretch out yoʋr hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders through the name of yoʋr holy servant Jesus.”
31 I te mutunga o ta ratou inoi, ka ngaueue te wahi i mine ai ratou, a ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, na, maia noa atu ratou ki te korero i te kupu a te Atua.
After they prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking the word of God with boldness.
32 Kotahi ano ngakau, kotahi ano wairua o te mano o te hunga whakapono: kihai ano tetahi o ratou i mea, mana ake tetahi o ana taonga; heoi he mea huihui a ratou mea katoa.
Now the hearts and souls of the multitude of believers were one, and no one was saying that any of their belongings was his own, but everything they owned was held in common.
33 A nui atu te kaha i whakapuakina ai e nga apotoro te aranga o te Ariki, o Ihu; he nui ano te aroha noa i runga i a ratou katoa.
With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34 Kahore hoki tetahi o ratou i hapa: ko te hunga hoki he kainga, he whare o ratou, hokona atu ana e ratou, a mauria ana mai nga utu o nga mea i hokona,
There was no one needy among them, for all who owned plots of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold.
35 Whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro: na ka tuwhaina ma ia tangata, ma ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki te mate o ia tangata.
They laid the money at the feet of the apostles, and the proceeds were distributed to anyone who had need.
36 A ko Hohi i huaina e nga apotoro ko Panapa, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Tama a te whakamarietanga, he Riwaiti, ko Kaiperu tona kainga,
Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”), a Levite and Cypriot by birth,
37 He wahi whenua tona, na hokona atu ana, mauria ana nga moni, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.
also sold a field he owned and then brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
