Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest
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,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.
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.
3 But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,
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:
4 and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
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?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
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.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
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.
7 But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.
Na, ko nga tangata i haere tahi i a ia, tu reokore ana, rongo kau ana ki te reo, kahore ia i kite tangata.
8 And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
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.
9 And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
A e toru ona ra e kore ana e kite, kihai hoki i kai, kihai i inu.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.
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.
11 And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,
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.
12 and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.
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.
13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
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:
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
A tenei ano kei a ia he mana na nga tohunga nui, kia herea te hunga katoa e karanga ana ki tou ingoa.
15 And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:
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:
16 for I will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.
Ka whakakitea hoki e ahau ki a ia te nui o nga mea e mamae ai ia mo toku ingoa.
17 And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.
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.
18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;
Na marere tonu iho etahi mea, ano he unahi, i ona kanohi, a kite ana ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria.
19 and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.
Na ka kai ia, ka whai kaha. Na noho ana a Haora ki nga akonga i Ramahiku mo etahi ra.
20 And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that he is the Son of God.
A reira tonu kauwhautia ana e ia a te Karaiti i roto i nga whare karakia, ko te Tama ia a te Atua.
21 And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
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?
22 But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
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.
23 Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
A, ka maha nga ra ka pahure, ka runanga nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia:
24 But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;
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:
25 but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Otiia i mau nga akonga ki a ia i te po, tukua iho ana e ratou ra te taiepa i roto i te kete.
26 And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
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.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
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.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,
Na ka noho ia ki a ratou, haereere atu ana, haereere mai ana i Hiruharama,
29 and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.
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.
30 And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
No te mohiotanga o nga tuakana, ka mauria ia e ratou ki raro ki Hiharia, a tonoa atu ana ia ki Tarahu.
31 The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
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.
32 Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.
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.
33 And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.
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.
34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.
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.
35 And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.
I kite katoa hoki ia i te hunga e noho ana i Raira, i Harona, a tahuri ana ki te Ariki.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
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.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.
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.
38 But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.
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.
39 And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
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.
40 But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.
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.
41 And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.
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.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
A i mohiotia tenei mea puta noa i Hopa katoa: he tokomaha hoki i whakapono ki te Ariki.
43 And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
A he maha ona ra i noho ai ia ki Hopa, ki a Haimona kaimahi hiako.
