Mahi 9
1 Ko Haora ia kei te kupukupu tonu i te whakawehi, i te mate mo nga akonga a te Ariki, a haere ana ki te tohunga nui,
But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
2 Kei te tono pukapuka i a ia ki nga whakaminenga i Ramahiku, ina kitea e ia tetahi no te huarahi, ahakoa tane, wahine ranei, kia mauria hereheretia mai e ia ki Hiruharama.
and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Na, i a ia e haere ana, ka whakatata ia ki Ramahiku; na, ohorere ana te whitinga mai ki a ia, huri noa, o tetahi marama no te rangi:
And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:
4 A hinga ana ia ki te whenua, ka rongo ake i tetahi reo e mea ana ki a ia, E Haora, e Haora, he aha tau e whakatoi nei i ahau?
and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Ano ra ko ia, Ko wai koe, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia, Ko Ihu ahau, e whakatoia nei e koe: ehara tau, te whana ki nga koikoi.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
6 Na wiri ana ia, ihiihi ana, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia aha ahau? Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, tomo atu ki te pa, a ka korerotia ki a koe tau e mea ai.
but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Na, ko nga tangata i haere tahi i a ia, tu reokore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kahore ia i kite tangata.
And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.
8 Na ka whakatika ake a Haora i te whenua, a, i te tuwheratanga o ona kanohi, kihai rawa ia i kite aha: na arahina a ringatia ana ia e ratou, mauria ana ia ki Ramahiku.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 A e toru ona ra e kore ana e kite, kihai hoki i kai, kihai i inu.
And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
10 Na i Ramahiku tetahi akonga, ko Anania te ingoa; ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, he kite, E Anania. Ka mea tera, Tenei ahau, e te Ariki.
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11 Ano ra ko te Ariki ki a ia, Whakatika, haere ki te ara e kiia nei ko Torotika, ka ui te whare o Hura mo tetahi ko Haora te ingoa, no Tarahu: na, kei te inoi ia.
And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;
12 A kua kite ia i tetahi tangata, ko Anania te ingoa, e tomo mai ana, e whakapa ana i ona ringa ki a ia, kia kite ai ia.
and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Otira ka whakahoki a Anania, E te Ariki, he tokomaha aku i rongo ai mo tenei tangata, ki te nui o te kino i mea ai ia ki tau hunga tapu i Hiruharama:
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 A tenei ano kei a ia he mana na nga tohunga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tou ingoa.
and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
15 Heoi ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, haere: no te mea he kaupapa whiriwhiri ia naku, hei mau i toku ingoa ki te aroaro o nga Tauiwi, o nga kingi, o nga tama hoki a Iharaira:
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 Ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o nga mea e mamae ai ia mo toku ingoa.
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
17 Na haere ana a Anania, tomo ana ki roto ki te whare; ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, ka mea, E toku teina, e Haora, na te Ariki, na Ihu, i puta ra ki a koe i te ara i haere mai na koe, nana ahau i tono mai, kia kite ai koe, a kia ki ai hoki i te Wairua Tapu.
And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Na marere tonu iho etahi mea, ano he unahi, i ona kanohi, a kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria.
And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;
19 Na ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Na noho ana a Haora ki nga akonga i Ramahiku mo etahi ra.
and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.
20 A reira tonu kauwhautia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i nga whare karakia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.
And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
21 A miharo ana te hunga katoa i rongo, ka mea, Ehara ianei tenei i te kaitukino o te hunga i karanga ki tenei ingoa i Hiruharama? a, ko te mea ano tenei i haere mai ai ia, kia herea ratou, kia arahina ki nga tohunga nui?
And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.
22 Ko Haora ia ka nui haere ke atu tona kaha, a whakapororarutia ana e ia nga Hurai e noho ana i Ramahiku, i a ia e whakakite ana ko te Karaiti tenei.
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 A, ka maha nga ra ka pahure, ka runanga nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia:
And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:
24 Heoi i matau a Haora ki ta ratou whakapapanga mona. A whanga ana ratou ki nga tatau i te ao, i te po, kia whakamatea ia:
but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:
25 Otiia i mau nga akonga ki a ia i te po, tukua iho ana e ratou ra te taiepa i roto i te kete.
but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 A, no tona taenga mai ki Hiruharama, ka whai ia kia uru atu ia ki nga akonga; heoi wehi katoa ana ratou i a ia, kihai i whakapono he akonga ia.
And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Ko Panapa ia i tango i a ia, a mauria ana ia ki nga apotoro, korerotia ana e ia ki a ratou tona kitenga i te Ariki i te ara, tana korerotanga ki a ia, tona maia hoki ki te kauwhau i Ramahiku i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Na ka noho ia ki a ratou, haereere atu ana, haereere mai ana i Hiruharama,
And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,
29 Me te maia hoki ki te kauwhau i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki: a korero ana ia, totohe ana ki nga Hurai Kariki: otira ka whakangakau ratou kia whakamatea ia.
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.
30 No te mohiotanga o nga tuakana, ka mauria ia e ratou ki raro ki Hiharia, a tonoa atu ana ia ki Tarahu.
And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Na ka whai tanga manawa te hahi, puta noa i Huria katoa, i Kariri, i Hamaria, a tupu ana; haere ana i runga i te wehi o te Ariki, i te whakamarie hoki a te Wairua Tapu, no ka whakatupu ake.
So the church throughout all Judæa and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.
32 Na, i a Pita e haereere ana puta noa nga wahi katoa, ka tae iho hoki ia ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Raira.
And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.
33 Ka kitea e ia i reira tetahi tangata ko Inia te ingoa, kua waru ona tau e takoto ana i runga i tona moenga; he pararutiki hoki ia.
And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.
34 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, E Inia, ka ora koe i a Ihu Karaiti: whakatika, wharikitia tou moenga. Na whakatika tonu ake ia.
And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.
35 I kite katoa hoki ia i te hunga e noho ana i Raira, i Harona, a tahuri ana ki te Ariki.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Na tera tetahi akonga i Hopa e noho ana, ko Tapita te ingoa, ko te whakamaoritanga ko Roka: he wahine tenei i aro nui ki nga mahi pai, ki nga mahi atawhai rawakore.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37 A i aua ra ka turorotia ia, ka mate: a ka oti ia te horoi e ratou, ka whakatakotoria ia ki tetahi ruma i runga.
And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 Na, i te mea e tata atu ana a Raira ki Hopa, ka rongo nga akonga kei reira a Pita, a ka tonoa e ratou tokorua nga tangata ki a ia, hei mea, Kaua e whakaroa te haere mai ki a matou.
And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.
39 Na whakatika ana a Pita, haere ana i a raua. A, i tona taenga atu ka arahina e ratou ki te ruma i runga: a tu ana nga pouaru katoa i tona taha, tangi ana, ka whakakite ki a ia i nga koti, i nga kakahu i hanga e Roka, i a ia e noho ana i a ratou.
And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 Otiia ka tonoa ratou katoa e Pita ki waho, ka tuku ia i ona turi, ka inoi; katahi ka tahuri ake ia ki te tupapaku, ka mea, Tapita, e ara. Na ka titiro ona kanohi: a, i tona kitenga i a Pita, ka noho ia ki runga.
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Katahi ka hoatu e ia tona ringa ki a ia, ka whakaara ake i a ia; a karangatia ana e ia te hunga tapu me nga pouaru, a tukua oratia atu ana ia.
And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 A i mohiotia tenei mea puta noa i Hopa katoa: he tokomaha hoki i whakapono ki te Ariki.
And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.
43 A he maha ona ra i noho ai ia ki Hopa, ki a Haimona kaimahi hiako.
And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
