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, 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 desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were 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, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from 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 to the earth, and 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.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
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? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go 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 who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing 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 earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but 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 neither ate nor drank.
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.
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord 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 which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called 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 hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand 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:
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done 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 on 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 to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to 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 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, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as 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 immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and 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 when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who 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 immediately he preached Christ 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?
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring 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 the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 A, ka maha nga ra ka pahure, ka runanga nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia:
And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel 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 known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to 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.
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall 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 Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not 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 to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus 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 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.
And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay 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 knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, 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.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were 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 passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also 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 there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with 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, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
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, and 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, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds 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 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 to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to 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.
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had 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, 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 lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, 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 known throughout all Joppa: 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 tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
