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,
And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to 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, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, 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 went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
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 falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to 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.
Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
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.
And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to 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 Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing 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 ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.
9 A e toru ona ra e kore ana e kite, kihai hoki i kai, kihai i inu.
And he was there three days, without sight, and he 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 to 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 to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul 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 saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon 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 by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in 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 invoke 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:
And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry 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 shew him how great 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 went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Na marere tonu iho etahi mea, ano he unahi, i ona kanohi, a kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
19 Na ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Na noho ana a Haora ki nga akonga i Ramahiku mo etahi ra.
And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.
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 immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, 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 astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to 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 much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming 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 passed, the Jews consulted 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 laying in wait was made 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 the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down 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 into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were 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 told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently 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 coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
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.
He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought 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.
Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away 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.
Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
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 that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who 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 he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
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 to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately 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 Saron, saw him: who were converted 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.
And in Joppe there was 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 was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, 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 forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.
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 rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made 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.
And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing 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 giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the 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 was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in 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 Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
