Mahi 13

1 Na tera etahi poropiti me etahi kaiwhakaako i Anatioka, i te hahi i reira, ko Panapa, ko Himiona i huaina nei ko Nikera, ko Rukia no Hairini, ko Manaena, he mea whakatupu ngatahi nei raua ko Herora tetaraki, me Haora.

Now in the congregation that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Shim'on who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 A, i a ratou e karakia ana ki te Ariki, e nohopuku ana, ka mea te Wairua Tapu, Motuhia mai ki ahau a Panapa raua ko Haora ki te mahi i karangatia ai raua e ahau.

As they served the Lord and fasted, the Ruach ha-Kodesh said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."

3 Na, ka mutu ta ratou nohopuku me te inoi, a ka popoki iho i o ratou ringa ki a raua, ka tonoa atu raua kia haere.

Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 Na, ka tonoa nei raua e te Wairua Tapu, ka haere ki Herukia; a rere atu ana i reira ki Kaiperu.

So, being sent out by the Ruach ha-Kodesh, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

5 Na, i a raua i Harami, ka kauwhautia e raua te kupu a te Atua i roto i nga whare karakia o nga Hurai: i a raua ano a Hoani hei kaimahi.

When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

6 A, no to ratou putanga i te motu katoa ki Papaho, ka kitea tetahi tangata makutu, he poropiti teka, he Hurai, ko Paraihu te ingoa:

When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Yeshua,

7 I te tino kawana ia, i a Herekiu Paora; he tangata mahara a Herekiu. A karangatia ana e ia a Panapa raua ko Haora, a ka whai kia rongo i te kupu a te Atua.

who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

8 Otira i tautohe ki a raua a Erima te kaimakutu, ko te whakamaoritanga hoki tenei o tona ingoa, i mea kia tahuri ke te tino kawana i te whakapono.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

9 Otira ko Haora, e huaina nei ano ko Paora, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i whakamau i ona kanohi ki a ia,

But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh, fastened his eyes on him,

10 A i mea, E te tangata ki tonu i te tinihanga, i nga tini mahi pokanoa, e te tama a te rewera, hoariri o nga mahi tika katoa, e kore ianei e mutu tau whakaputa ke i nga ara tika a te Ariki?

and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 Nana, ianei pa ai te ringa o te Ariki ki a koe, ka matapotia koe, e kore e kite i te ra a taka noa tetahi wa. Na taka tonu iho ki a ia he kohu, he pouri; a haereere noa ia ki te rapu kaiarahi mona.

Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

12 A, no te kitenga o te tino kawana i taua meatanga, ka whakapono ia, i miharo hoki ki te ako a te Ariki.

Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13 Na ka rere atu a Paora ratou ko ona hoa i Papaho, ka u ki Pereka i Pamapuria: a whakarere ana a Hoani i a raua, hoki ana ki Hiruharama.

Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

14 Ko raua ia haere atu ana i Pereka, tae tonu atu ki Anatioka i Pihiria, a tomo ana ki te whare karakia i te ra hapati, noho ana.

But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

15 A ka mutu te korerotanga o te ture, o nga poropiti, ka tono tangata nga rangatira o te whare karakia ki a raua, ka mea, E hoa ma, ki te mea he kupu whakaako ta korua ki te hunga nei, korerotia.

After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."

16 Na ka tu a Paora ki runga, ka tawhiri tona ringa, ka mea, E nga tangata o Iharaira, e te hunga e wehi ana ki te Atua, whakarongo mai.

Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

17 Na te Atua o tenei iwi, o Iharaira i whiriwhiri o tatou matua, a whakanuia ana e ia tenei iwi, i a ratou e noho manene ana i te whenua o Ihipa, i runga tonu ano te ringa i arahina mai ai ratou e ia i reira.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

18 Na me te mea e wha tekau nga tau i whakamanawanui ai ki to ratou ahua i te koraha.

For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

19 A ka whitu nga iwi ka ngaro i a ia i te whenua o Kanaana, ka hoatu e ia ki a ratou to ratou whenua hei whenua pumau, mo nga tau me te mea e wha rau e rima tekau:

When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

20 A, muri iho i enei mea, ka hoatu e ia ki a ratou he kaiwhakawa, taea noatia a Hamuera poropiti.

All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

21 A muri iho ka tono ratou ki tetahi kingi: a hoatu ana e te Atua ki a ratou a Haora, tama a Kihi, he tangata no te pu o Pineamine, a e wha tekau nga tau.

Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 A ka oti ia te whakataka, ka whakaarahia ake e ia a Rawiri hei kingi mo ratou; i whakaaturia hoki ia e ia, i korerotia, Kua kitea e ahau a Rawiri tama a Hehe, he tangata e whakaaetia ana e toku ngakau; ka meatia e ia nga mea katoa e pai ai ahau.

When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

23 He uri no tenei tangata ta te Atua i homai ai ki a Iharaira, he Kaiwhakaora, ko Ihu, hei whakarite i te mea i korerotia ai i mua;

From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Yeshua,

24 No mua tata ano hoki i tona haerenga mai te kauwhautanga a Hoani i te iriiri ripeneta, ki te iwi katoa o Iharaira.

before his coming, when John had first preached the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 A ka tutuki a Hoani ki tona tutukitanga, ka mea ia, Ko wai koia ahau ki to koutou whakaaro? ehara ra ahau i a ia. Engari tera te haere mai ana tetahi i muri i ahau, ko ona hu e kore ahau e tau hei wewete.

As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

26 E oku tuakana, e nga tama o te kawei o Aperahama, e te hunga i roto i a koutou e wehi ana ki te Atua, kua homai te kupu o tenei ora kia whakapuakina ki a tatou.

Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.

27 Na ko te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, me o ratou rangatira, i te mea kihai ratou i mohio ki a ia, ki nga reo ranei o nga poropiti e korerotia ana i nga hapati katoa, na ratou i whakarite aua reo, i a ratou i tuku i a ia ki te mate.

For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

28 Ahakoa kihai i kitea e ratou he mea e mate ai ia, ka tohe ratou ki a Pirato kia whakamatea ia.

Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

29 A, no ka rite i a ratou nga mea katoa i tuhituhia mona, tangohia iho ana ia i te rakau, whakatakotoria ana ki roto ki te urupa.

When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.

30 Heoi na te Atua ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate:

But God raised him from the dead,

31 A he maha nga ra i kitea ai ia e te hunga i haere tahi i a ia i Kariri ki Hiruharama, ko ratou nei nga kaiwhakaatu mona ki te iwi.

and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galil to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

32 Na he kauwhau tenei na maua ki a koutou i te rongopai, i korerotia i mua ki nga matua,

We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

33 Ara kua mana tenei i te Atua, hei mea ma a tatou tamariki, i a ia i whakaara nei i a Ihu: ko te mea hoki tena i tuhituhia i te rua o nga waiata, Ko taku Tama koe, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.

that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

34 Ko tana korero ano tenei mona i whakaarahia nei e ia i te hunga mate, te hoki ano ki te pirau i muri iho, ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou nga mea tapu, nga manaakitanga pono o Rawiri.

"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'

35 Koia hoki ia i mea ai i tetahi atu waiata, E kore koe e tuku i tau Mea Tapu kia kite i te pirau.

Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'

36 Ko Rawiri hoki i mahi i ta te Atua i pai ai i tona whakatupuranga ano, a moe iho, whakatakotoria ana ki ona matua, kite ana i te pirau:

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.

37 Ko tenei ia i whakaarahia ake nei e te Atua, kihai ia i kite i te pirau.

But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

38 Na kia mohio koutou, e oku tuakana, na tenei tangata te murunga hara e kauwhautia nei ki a koutou;

Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,

39 Mana hoki nga tangata katoa, e whakapono ana, ka whakatikaia ai i nga mea katoa, e kore nei koutou e whakatikaia i runga i ta Mohi ture.

and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.

40 Na kia mahara, kei pa ki a koutou te mea i korerotia ra e nga poropiti.

So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:

41 Titiro mai, e te hunga whakahawea, ka miharo ai, a whakangaromia iho: ka mahia hoki e ahau he mahi i o koutou ra, he mahi e kore e whakaponohia e koutou, ki te whakapuakina e te tangata ki a koutou.

'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"

42 Na, i a ratou e puta ana ki waho, ka tohe ratou kia kauwhautia ano aua kupu ki a ratou i to muri iho hapati.

So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

43 Heoi ka pakarukaru te huihui, he tokomaha nga Hurai me nga porohiraiti karakia i aru i a Paora raua ko Panapa: a ka korero raua ki a ratou, ka ako kia mau tonu ratou ki te aroha noa o te Atua.

Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

44 Na i to muri iho hapati ka huihui mai te pa, me te mea ko ratou katoa, ki te whakarongo ki te kupu a te Atua.

The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.

45 No te kitenga ia o nga Hurai i te huihui, ka ki ratou i te hae, ka whakakahore ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora, ka whakateka, ka kohukohu.

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

46 Katahi a Paora raua ko Panapa ka korero maia atu, ka mea, I takoto te tikanga kia matua korerotia te kupu a te Atua ki a koutou: na ka peia nei e koutou, ka whakaaro koutou e kore koutou e tau mo te ora tonu, na ka tahuri atu nei maua ki nga Tau iwi. (aiōnios g166)

Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)

47 I penei hoki te ako a te Ariki ki a matou, Kua waiho koe e ahau hei marama ki nga Tauiwi, kia ai koe hei oranga puta noa i nga pito o te whenua.

For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"

48 Na, i te rongonga o nga Tauiwi, ka hari, ka whakakororia i te kupu a te Ariki: ka whakapono ano te hunga i rite mo te ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)

As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 A paku ana te kupu a te Ariki puta noa i taua whenua.

The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

50 Otira i whakaohokia e nga Hurai nga wahine karakia, rangatira, me nga tangata nunui o te pa, a ara ana i a ratou he whakatoi mo Paora raua ko Panapa, peia ana raua i o ratou wahi.

But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

51 Heoi ruia atu ana e raua te puehu o o raua waewae ki a ratou, a haere ana ki Ikoniuma.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

52 Na ki tonu nga akonga i te hari, i te Wairua Tapu.

The talmidim were filled with joy with the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
