Mahi 5
1 Na ko tetahi tangata ko Anania tona ingoa, raua ko tana wahine, ko Hapaira, i hoko atu i tetahi whenua;
But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 A puritia ana e ia tetahi wahi o te utu, ko tana wahine hoki i mohio ki taua mea huna, mauria ana tetahi wahi, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.
and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Na ko te meatanga atu a Pita, E Anania, na te aha i whakakiia ai tou ngakau e Hatana kia teka koe ki te Wairua Tapu, kia puritia atu ai tetahi wahi o te utu o te whenua?
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
4 I te mea kahore ano i riro, he teka ianei nau ake tau mea? a ka oti te hoko tikanga? na te aha tenei mea i whakaaroa ai i roto i tou ngakau? kihai hoki koe i teka ki te tangata, engari ki te Atua.
While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5 A, no te rongonga o Anania i enei kupu, hinga ana ki raro, mate rawa: he nui ano te wehi i tau ki te hunga katoa i rongo i enei mea.
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
6 Na ka whakatika nga taitamariki, takai ana i a ia, a maua atu ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana.
And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
7 A, patata ki te toru haora i muri, ka tomo mai tana wahine, kihai hoki i mohio he aha te mea kua meatia.
And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, Korero mai ki ahau, ko te utu ranei tera i hokona atu ai e korua te whenua? ka mea ia, Ae, koia tena.
And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, he aha korua i whakaaro tahi ai ki te whakamatautau i te Wairua o te Ariki? Nana, kei te kuwaha nga waewae o te hunga i tanumia ai tau tane, ma ratou koe e kawe ki waho.
And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
10 Na hinga tonu iho ia ki ona waewae, hemo rawa: a, ko te tomonga mai o nga taitamariki, rokohanga mai kua mate, na kawea ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana ki te taha o tana tane.
And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
11 A nui atu te wehi o te hahi katoa, o te hunga katoa ano i rangona ai enei mea.
And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
12 A na nga ringa o nga apotoro i mahi nga tohu maha, me nga mea whakamiharo, i roto i te iwi; i noho hoki ratou katoa ki te whakamahau o Horomona, kotahi ano te whakaaro.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,
13 Tena ko era atu tangata kihai rawa tetahi i maia ki te whakauru mai ki a ratou: otira whakanuia ana ratou e te iwi.
but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;
14 A he nui noa atu te hunga whakapono i honoa mai ki te Ariki, tona tino te tane, o te wahine.
and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women; )
15 Na reira hoki ka mauria e ratou nga turoro ki nga ara, whakatakotoria ana ki runga i nga moenga, i nga whariki, me kore noa e taumarumaru iho ki tetahi o ratou te atarangi o Pita, i a ia e haere ana.
so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put [them] on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.
16 I hui katoa mai ano te mano i nga pa katoa e patata ana ki Hiruharama, me te mau mai i nga turoro, i te hunga e whakaporeareatia ana e nga wairua poke; a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa.
And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Me i reira ka whakatika te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa katoa, ara te wehenga ki nga Haruki, ki tonu hoki ratou i te hae,
And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath,
18 A ka pa o ratou ringa ki nga apotoro, maka ana ratou ki te whare herehere nui.
and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
19 Otira na tetahi anahera a te Ariki i uaki nga tatau o te whare herehere i te po; arahina mai ana ratou e ia ki waho, ka mea,
But an angel of [the] Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said,
20 Haere, e tu i roto i te temepara, ka korero ki te iwi i nga kupu katoa o tenei ora.
Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 A ka rongo ratou i tenei, ka tomo ki te temepara i te atatu, ka whakaako. Na ko te haerenga o te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa, karangatia ana kia huihui te runanga me nga kaumatua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, a tonoa ana he tangata ki te whare h erehere hei tiki i a ratou.
And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Otira, ko nga katipa i tae mai, kihai i kite i a ratou i roto i te whare herehere, na ka hoki mai, ka korero.
And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported
23 Ka mea, Rokohina atu e matou e tutaki tonu ana te whare herehere u tonu, me nga kaitiaki e tu ana i waho o nga tatau; no te huakanga atu, kahore he tangata i kitea e matou i roto.
saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened [them], within we found no one.
24 A, no ka rongo te rangatira o te temepara ratou ko nga tohunga nui ki enei kupu, ka pororaru ratou, he aha ra te tukunga iho o taua mea.
And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.
25 Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Nana, ko te hunga i maka ra e koutou ki te whare herehere, e tu mai nei i te temepara, e whakaako ana i te iwi.
And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.
26 Katahi ka haere te rangatira ratou ko nga katipa, a arahina mai ana ratou, otira kihai i taka kinotia; i wehi hoki ratou i te iwi, kei akina ratou ki te kohatu.
Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 A, ka oti ratou te arahi mai, ka whakaturia ki mua i te runanga: na ka ui te tohunga nui ki a ratou,
And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 Ka mea, Kihai ianei matou i ata whakatupato i a koutou kia kaua e whakaako i runga i tenei ingoa? na, kua ki nei Hiruharama i ta koutou whakaakoranga, a e mea ana koutou kia whakairia nga toto o tenei tangata ki runga i a matou.
saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
29 Na ka whakahoki a Pita ratou ko nga apotoro, ka mea, Me whakarongo ra matou ki te Atua, kaua ki te tangata.
But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.
30 Na te Atua o o tatou tupuna i whakaara ake a Ihu, i whakamatea na e koutou, he mea whakairi ki te rakau.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom ye have slain, having hanged on a cross.
31 Kua oti ia te whakanoho e te ringa matau o te Atua ki runga, hei Piriniha, hei Kaiwhakaora, hei homai i te ripeneta, i te murunga hara ki a Iharaira.
Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 Ko matou ano nga kaiwhakaatu i enei mea: ko te Wairua Tapu hoki, i homai nei e te Atua ki te hunga e rongo ana ki a ia.
And we are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.
33 Otira, i to ratou rongonga i tenei, tu tonu ki o ratou ngakau, a ka whakaaro kia whakamatea ratou.
But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.
34 Na ka whakatika tetahi o nga Parihi i roto i te runanga, ko Kamariera te ingoa, he kaiwhakaako i te ture, he tangata e whakanuia ana e te iwi katoa, ka mea, kia nekehia atu aua tangata ki waho mo tetahi wa poto nei.
But a certain [man], a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,
35 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E nga tangata o Iharaira, kia tupato ki ta koutou e mea ai ki enei tangata.
and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;
36 I nga ra ki muri ka whakatika ake a Teura, me te whakaari i a ia, ko ia he tangata nui: piri atu ana ki a ia etahi tangata, patata ki te wha rau: na patua iho ia; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana, a kore ake.
for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
37 A muri iho i taua tangata ka whakatika ake ko Hura o Kariri i nga ra o te tatauranga, a kumea atu ana e ia etahi o te iwi ki te whai i a ia; i ngaro ano hoki tena; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana.
After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away [a number of] people after him; and he perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kati te mea ki enei tangata, waiho noa iho ratou; ki te mea hoki na te tangata tenei whakaaro, tenei mahi, tera e whakakahoretia.
And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed;
39 Otira mehemea na te Atua, e kore rawa e taea e koutou te whakakahore; kei tupono hoki e whawhai ke ana koutou ki te Atua.
but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God.
40 A whakaae ana ratou ki a ia: na ka karangatia nga apotoro ki a ratou, ka whiua, ka whakatupatoria kia kaua rawa e korero i runga i te ingoa o Ihu, a tukua ana ratou kia haere.
And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Heoi haere hari atu ana ratou i te aroaro o te runanga, mo ratou kua meinga e pai ana kia whakataurekarekatia mo te Ingoa.
They therefore went their way from [the] presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for the name.
42 A, i nga ra katoa, i roto i te temepara, i nga kainga ranei, kahore e mutu ana ta ratou whakaako, ta ratou kauwhau i a Ihu, ko te Karaiti ia.
And every day, in the temple and in the houses, they ceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidings that Jesus [was] the Christ.
