Mahi 3
1 Na e haere tahi atu ana a pita raua ko Hoani ki te temepara i te haora inoi, i te iwa o nga haora.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
2 Na ka kawea mai tetahi tangata, he kopa no te kopu mai ano o tona whaea, he mea whakatakoto i nga ra katoa ki te kuwaha o te temepara i huaina nei ko Ataahua, ki te tono mea mana i te hunga e tomo ana ki te temepara;
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 No tona kitenga i a Pita raua ko Hoani meake tomo ki te temepara, ka tono ia i tetahi mea mana.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 Na ka whakamau atu nga kanohi o Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ia, ka mea, Titiro mai ki a maua.
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Ka whakarongo ia ki a raua, hua noa e riro mai tetahi mea a raua mana.
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Ano ra ko Pita, Ko te hiriwa me te koura kahore i ahau; ko te mea ia kei ahau, maku tena e hoatu ki a koe: I runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, whakatika, haere.
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 Katahi ia ka hopu i tona ringa matau ka whakaara ake i a ia: i reira tonu kua whai kaha ona waewae me nga pona.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 A, ko tona mawhititanga ake, ka tu, ka timata te haere, tomo tahi ana me raua ki te temepara, e haere ana, e tupeke ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua.
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 A i kite te iwi katoa i a ia e haere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua.
All the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 Katahi ratou ka mohio ki a ia, ko ia ano tera i noho ra ki te tatau Ataahua o te temepara, tono mea ai mana: na nui atu to ratou miharo me te ihiihi ki taua mea i pa ki a ia.
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 I a ia e pupuri ana ki a Pita raua ko Hoani, ka oma atu te iwi katoa ki a ratou i te whakamahau i huaina nei ko ta Horomona, nui rawa te whakamiharo.
While he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
12 A, i te kitenga o Pita, ka whai kupu atu ia ki te iwi, E nga tangata o Iharaira, he aha ta koutou e miharo nei ki tenei tangata? he aha hoki koutou ka whakamau ai te titiro ki a maua, me te mea he mana no maua ake he ngakau karakia ranei i meati a ai ia kia haere?
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to walk?
13 Na te Atua o Aperahama, o ihaka, o Hakopa, na te Atua o o tatou matua, i whakakororia tana Tama a Ihu: ko ta koutou i tuku na, i whakakahore na i te aroaro o Pirato, kua oti ra i a ia kia tukua ia.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Otira whakakahoretia ana e koutou te Mea Tapu, te Mea Tika, tonoa ana ko te tangata kohuru kia homai ki a koutou;
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
15 Patua ana hoki e koutou te Take o te ora; kua whakaarahia nei ia e te Atua i te hunga mate, ko matou nei ona kaiwhakaatu.
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
16 A na te whakapono ki tona ingoa i meinga ai e tona ingoa tenei tangata kia kaha, e kite nei, e matau nei koutou; ae ra, ko te whakapono ki a ia te mea nana i hoatu tenei ora nui ki tenei i te aroaro o koutou katoa.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 Na, e oku teina, e mahara ana ahau na te kuware tena mahi a koutou, pera i ta o koutou rangatira.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
18 Engari ko nga mea a te Atua i whakakitea i mua e te mangai o nga poropiti katoa, mo tana Karaiti kia whakamamaetia, kua rite enei i a ia.
But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 No reira, Ripeneta, a tahuri mai ano koutou, kia murua ai o koutou hara, kia puta mai ai i te aroaro o te Ariki he wa whakahauora.
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 A kia tonoa mai ai e ia te Karaiti i whakaritea nei mo koutou, ara a Ihu:
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
21 Kua takoto nei te tikanga kia noho ia ki te rangi a taea noatia nga wa o te whakahokinga mai o nga mea katoa, i korero ai te Atua ra te mangai o ana poropiti tapu no te timatanga mai ano o te ao. (aiōn g165)
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (aiōn g165)
22 I mea ra hoki a Mohi, Ma te Ariki, ma te Atua, e whakaara ake he poropiti mo koutou i roto i o koutou teina, he penei ano me ahau; ko ia ta koutou e whakarongo ai i nga mea katoa e mea ai ia ki a koutou.
Moses declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 A taua wa, ko nga wairua katoa e kore e whakarongo ki taua poropiti, ka whakamatea rawatia i roto i te iwi.
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 Ae ra, ko nga poropiti katoa o Hamuera iho ano, tae mai ki o muri nei, ko te hunga katoa i korero, i whakaatu ano hoki ratou i nga ra nei.
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
25 Ko koutou aua tama a nga poropiti, a te kawenata hoki i whakatakotoria e te Atua ki o koutou matua, i mea ra ia ki a Aperahama, Ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te ao.
"You are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall be blessed.'
26 Mo koutou ke hoki i te tuatahi, i tana whakaaranga ake ai i tana Tama, te tononga mai nei a te Atua i a ia ki a koutou hei manaaki i a koutou, hei whakatahuri i tenei, i tenei o koutou i o koutou kino.
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
