Mahi 10
1 Na i Hiharia tetahi tangata, ko Koroniria te ingoa, he keneturio no te pu i kiia nei ko to Itari;
Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
2 He tangata karakia ia, e wehi ana i te Atua, ratou ko tona whare katoa, he maha ana mahi atawhai ki te iwi, me te inoi tonu ki te Atua.
a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
3 I kite nui ia, he whakarehu, i te mea ka tata ki te iwa o nga haora o te ra, i tetahi anahera a te Atua, e haere mai ana ki a ia, e mea ana hoki ki a ia, E Koroniria.
At about three in the afternoon, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him, and saying to him, "Cornelius."
4 Na ka titiro matatau atu ia ki a ia, ka wehi, ka mea, he aha, e te Ariki? Ka ki tera ki a ia, Kua puta ake au inoi me au mahi atawhai, hei whakamahara ki te aroaro o te Atua.
He, fastening his eyes on him, and being frightened, said, "What is it, Lord?" He said to him, "Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Na tonoa aianei he tangata ki Hopa, ki te tiki i a Haimona, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita.
Now send men to Joppa, and bring one Simon who is surnamed Peter.
6 He manuhiri ia na Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha nei o te moana tona whare.
He lodges with one Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside."
7 A, no te rironga atu o te anahera i korero nei ki a ia, ka karangatia e ia tokorua o ana pononga tane, me tetahi hoia karakia no te hunga e mahi tonu ana ki a ia;
When the angel who spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
8 A, ka oti nga mea katoa te korero ki a ratou, ka tonoa ratou e ia ki Hopa.
Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Na i te aonga ake, i a ratou e haere ana, e whakatata atu ana ki te pa, ka kake a Pita ki runga ki te tuanui, i te ono o nga haora, ki te inoi:
Now on the next day as they were on their journey, and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
10 Na ka pa ki a ia te matekai, ka mea ki te kai: otira i a ratou e taka mai ana, ka tau iho te wairua matakite ki a ia;
He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
11 Na ka kite ia i te rangi kua tuwhera, me tetahi mea e heke iho ana, he mea tuku iho ma nga pito e wha, ki te whenua:
He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
12 I roto i taua mea nga momo kararehe waewae wha katoa, nga mea ngokingoki katoa o te whenua, me nga manu o te rangi.
in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, crawling creatures and birds of the sky.
13 I reira ka puta mai he reo ki a ia, Whakatika, e Pita; patua, kainga.
A voice came to him, "Rise, Peter, kill and eat."
14 Ko Pita ia i mea, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano ahau i kai i te mea noa, i te mea poke ranei.
But Peter said, "Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean."
15 Ka puta mai ano he reo ki a ia, ka tuaruatia, Ko a te Atua i mea ai kia ma, kaua e whakanoatia e koe.
A voice came to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean."
16 E toru meatanga o tenei: a i reira tonu ka tangohia atu taua mea ki te rangi.
This was done three times, and immediately the vessel was received up into heaven.
17 I taua wa tonu, i a Pita e whakaaroaro ana i roto i a ia ki te tikanga o tenei whakakitenga, na, ko nga tangata i tonoa mai ra e Koroniria, tera kua uiui ki te whare o Haimona, tu ana i mua i te kuwaha,
Now while Peter was very perplexed within himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, look, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon's house, stood before the gate,
18 Karanga ana mai, ui ana, kei reira ranei e noho ana a Pita, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Haimona.
and called and asked whether Simon, who was surnamed Peter, was lodging there.
19 A, i a Pita e whakaaro ana mo taua whakakitenga, ka mea te Wairua ki a ia, Nana, tokotoru enei tangata e rapu ana i a koe.
While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Look, three men seek you.
20 Na whakatika, heke atu, haere tahi koutou, kei ruarua; naku hoki ratou i tono mai.
But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them."
21 Na ka heke atu a Pita ki aua tangata, ka mea, Na, ko ahau tenei e rapu nei koutou: he aha te take o ta koutou haere mai?
And Peter went down to the men, and said, "Look, I am the one whom you seek. Why have you come?"
22 Na ka mea ratou, Ko Koroniria ra, he keneturio, he tangata tika, e wehi ana i te Atua, e korerotia paitia ana e te iwi katoa o nga Hurai, kua whakamaharatia ia e te Atua na tetahi anahera tapu kia tikina atu koe ki tona whare, kia rongo ia ki et ahi kupu i a koe.
They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say."
23 Na karanga ana ia i a ratou ki roto hei manuhiri mana. A, i te aonga ake, ka whakatika ia ka haere atu me ratou, a ko etahi o nga teina no Hopa i haere tahi me ia.
So he called them in and lodged them. On the next day he arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
24 A ao ake ka tomo ratou ki Hiharia. Na ko Koronira e tatari mai ana ki a ratou, he mea karanga nana kia huihui mai ona whanaunga me ona hoa tupu.
On the next day he entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
25 A, no ka tomo atu a Pita, ka tutaki a Koroniria ki a ia, ka hinga ki ona waewae, ka koropiko ki a ia.
When it happened that Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
26 Otira ka whakaara ake a Pita i a ia, ka mea, E tu ki runga; he tangata nei ano ahau.
But Peter raised him up, saying, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."
27 Na i a ia e korero ana ki a ia, ka tomo atu ia ki roto, ka kite i te menenga tokomaha,
And as he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
28 Ka mea atu ki a ratou, E matau ana koutou e kore e tika kia huihui te tangata o nga Hurai, kia haere atu ranei ki te tangata iwi ke: otiia kua whakakitea e te Atua ki ahau kia kaua e kiia tetahi tangata he noa, he poke.
He said to them, "You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
29 Koia ahau i haere mai ai, kihai i aha i te tikinga ake i ahau. Na ka ui nei ahau, he aha te take i tikina ake ai ahau?
Therefore also I came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?"
30 Ka mea a Koroniria, Ka wha nga ra inaianei tae mai ki tenei haora, e whakarite ana ahau i te inoinga o te iwa o nga haora i roto i toku whare; na, ko te tangata e tu ana i toku aroaro, kanapa tonu te kakahu,
Cornelius said, "Four days ago until this hour, at three in the afternoon, I was praying in my house, and look, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 E mea ana, E Koroniria, kua rangona tau inoi, a e maharatia ana au mahi atawhai i te aroaro o te Atua.
and said, 'Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
32 Na, tonoa he tangata ki Hopa, ka karanga ki a koe i a Haimona, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita: he manuhiri ia i roto i te whare o Haimona kaimahi hiako, i te taha moana.
Send therefore to Joppa, and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the seaside.'
33 I reira tonu ka tono tangata atu ahau ki a koe; na he pai rawa tou haerenga mai. No reira kei konei katoa matou kei te aroaro o te Atua, whakarongo ai ki nga mea katoa kua whakahaua e te Ariki ki a koe.
Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by the Lord."
34 Na ka puaki te mangai o Pita, ka mea, he pono ka kite ahau kahore a te Atua whakapai kanohi:
And Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God does not show favoritism;
35 Otiia i roto i nga tini iwi ko te tangata e wehi ana ki a ia, a e mahi ana i te tika, ka paingia e ia.
but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Ko te kupu i tukua mai e ia ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, he kauwhau i te rongopai o te rangimarie na Ihu Karaiti: ko ia nei te Ariki o te katoa:
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
37 Ko taua kupu, kei te mohio koutou, i kauwhautia ra puta noa i Huria katoa, i timata mai i Kariri, i muri o te iriiri i kauwhautia e Hoani;
that spoken word you yourselves know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
38 Ara ko Ihu o Nahareta, ta te Atua whakawahinga i a ia ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te kaha: a haereere ana ia ki te mahi i te pai, ki te whakaora i te hunga katoa i pehia e te rewera; no te mea i a ia te Atua.
even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
39 Ko matou hoki nga kaiwhakaatu o nga mea katoa i mea ai ia ki te whenua o nga Hurai, ki Hiruharama hoki: a whakamatea ana ia e ratou, he mea whakairi ki runga ki te rakau.
We are witnesses of everything he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also killed by hanging on a tree.
40 Na ko ia i whakaarahia ake e te Atua i te toru o nga ra, a meinga ana ia kia kitea nuitia,
God raised him up the third day, and gave him to be revealed,
41 Ehara i te mea e te iwi katoa, engari e te hunga i whiriwhiria i mua e te Atua, ara e matou, i kai tahi nei, i inu tahi nei me ia, i muri i tona aranga ake i te hunga mate.
not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42 I whai kupu hoki ia ki a matou kia kauwhau ki te iwi, kia whakaatu, ko ia ta te Atua i whakarite ai hei kaiwhakawa mo nga tangata ora, mo nga tangata mate.
He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is the one who is appointed by God as the judge of the living and the dead.
43 He kaiwhakaatu nga poropiti katoa mona, ara ma tona ingoa ka whiwhi ai ki te murunga hara nga tangata katoa e whakarongo ana ki a ia.
All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins."
44 I a Pita ano e korero ana i enei kupu, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki te hunga katoa e whakarongo ana ki te kupu.
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
45 A, ko te hunga o te kotinga i whakapono nei, ko nga mea i haere tahi mai me Pita, miharo ana no te mea kua ringihia tahitia iho te Wairua Tapu ki nga Tauiwi.
They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the non-Jewish people.
46 I rongo hoki ratou ki nga reo i korero ai ratou, i whakanui ai i te Atua. I reira ka whakahoki a Pita,
For they heard them speaking in other tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 E ahei ranei te whakakahore e tetahi te wai, kei iriiria enei kua whiwhi tahi nei me tatou ki te Wairua Tapu?
"Can anyone withhold the water, that these who have received the Holy Spirit as well as we should not be baptized?"
48 Na ka whakahau ia kia iriiria ratou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti. I reira ka tohe ratou ki a ia kia noho mo etahi ra.
He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
