1 A nd Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.

Na ka titiro pu a Paora ki te runanga, ka mea, E oku tuakana, tika tonu ki toku mahara taku whakahaere i te aroaro o te Atua, a taea noatia tenei ra.

2 A nd the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

Na ka mea a Anania tohunga nui ki te hunga e tu ana i tona taha, kia pakia tona mangai.

3 T hen said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

Ano ra ko Paora ki a ia, Tenei ake ka papaki te Atua i a koe, e te pakitara kua oti te pani ki te paru ma: a ka noho mai koe hei whakawa i ahau i ta te ture i whakatakoto ai, me te whakahau ano kia pakia ahau, e he nei tena ki te ture?

4 A nd they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

Na ka mea te hunga e tu tata ana, E whakamanumanu ana koe ki te tohunga nui a te Atua?

5 A nd Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.

Ano ra ko Paora, Kihai ahau i matau, e oku tuakana, ko ia te tohunga nui: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Aua e korerotia kinotia te rangatira o tou iwi.

6 B ut when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

A, no ka kite a Paora no nga Haruki etahi, ko etahi no nga Parihi, ka karanga ia i roto i te runanga, E oku tuakana, he Parihi ahau, he tama na nga Parihi: ko te aranga o te hunga mate e tumanakohia nei te mea e whakawakia nei ahau.

7 A nd when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.

A, no tana korerotanga i tenei, ka tohetohe nga Parihi ratou ko nga Haruki: ka wahirua hoki te huihui.

8 F or the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both.

E mea ana hoki nga Haruki, kahore he aranga, kahore he anahera, he wairua ranei: ko nga Parihi ia e whakaae ana ki aua mea e rua.

9 A nd there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?

A ka nui te ngangare; ka whakatika etahi o nga karaipi o to nga Parihi taha, ka totohe, ka mea, Kahore ano i mau i a matou te he o tenei tangata: tena, ka pehea, mehemea kua korero tetahi wairua ki a ia, tetahi anahera ranei?

10 A nd when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.

A, no ka nui te ngangau, ka mataku te rangatira mano kei motumotuhia a Paora e ratou, na unga ana e ia nga hoia kia heke atu, ki te tango mai i a ia i roto i a ratou, kia arahina hoki ki te pa.

11 A nd the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

A i taua po ka tu te Ariki ki tona taha, ka mea, Kia maia: kia pena i a koe i whakaatu na moku i Hiruharama, tau whakaatu hoki ki Roma.

12 A nd when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

Ao ake te ra, ka huihui etahi o nga Hurai, ka maka oati ki a ratou ano, ka mea, kia kaua ratou e kai, kia kaua e inu, kia whakamatea ra ano e ratou a Paora.

13 A nd they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.

A e wha tekau ngahoro nga tangata nana tenei oatitanga.

14 A nd they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

Na ka haere ratou ki nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga kaumatua, ka mea, Kua oati matou i tetahi oati nui, kia kaua e pa kai, kia mate ra ano a Paora i a matou.

15 N ow therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.

Na, ma koutou tahi ko te runanga e ki atu ki te rangatira mano kia arahina iho ia ki a koutou apopo, me te mea nei e mea ana koutou kia ata mohiotia te take ki a ia: ko matou ia, i te mea kiano ia i tata noa, ka noho rite ki te whakamate i a ia.

16 B ut Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.

Otira ka rongo te tama a te tuahine o Paora ki to ratou whakaaro whakapapa, ka haere ia, ka tomo ki te pa, ka korero ki a Paora.

17 A nd Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.

Katahi ka karanga a Paora ki tetahi keneturio, ka mea, Arahina atu te tamaiti nei ki te rangatira mano: he korero hoki tana ki a ia.

18 S o he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee.

Na ka mau ia ki a ia, ka arahi i a ia ki te rangatira mano, ka mea, I karanga te herehere, a Paora, i ahau, i mea kia arahina mai tenei tamaiti ki a koe, he korero hoki tana ki a koe.

19 A nd the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?

Na ka mau te rangatira mano ki tona ringa, ka haere ki tahaki, ka ui atu, He aha tau mea hei korero

20 A nd he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.

Ano ra ko tera, Kua whakatakoko whakaaro nga Hurai kia mea ki a koe kia arahina iho a Paora apopo ki te runanga, ano e ata uia ano e koe tetahi atu mea mona.

21 D o not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee.

Na aua koe e rongo ki a ratou: e wha hoki tekau ngahoro tangata o ratou e whanga ana ki a ia, kua puaki ta ratou oati, kia kaua e kai, kia kaua e inu, kia mate ra ano ia i a ratou: na kua rite tenei ratou, e tatari ana ki te kupu whakaae i a koe.

22 S o the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me.

Katahi ka tukua atu taua tamaiti e te rangatira mano, ka mea ia, Kaua e korerotia ki tetahi tau whakaaturanga mai i enei mea ki ahau.

23 A nd he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night:

Na tokorua nga keneturio i karangatia e ia; i mea ia, Kia rite mai etahi hoia kia rua rau hei haere ki Hiharia, me etahi hoia eke hoiho kia whitu tekau, me tetahi hunga mau matia kia rua rau, i te toru o nga haora o te po;

24 a nd he bade them provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

A ka whakahau ia ki a raua, kia whakaritea mai he kararehe, hei whakanohoanga iho mo Paora ki runga, kia kawea oratia ai ia ki a Pirika, ki te kawana.

25 A nd he wrote a letter after this form:

A i tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka, ka penei:

26 C laudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.

Na Karauria Raihia ki a Pirika, ki te kawana pai rawa, Tena koe.

27 T his man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

I hopukia tenei tangata e nga Hurai, a i a ia ka tata te whakamatea e ratou, ka puta atu ahau me nga hoia, a tangohia mai ana ia; i rongo hoki ahau no Roma ia.

28 A nd desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:

I mea ano ahau kia rongo i te take i whakawakia ai ia e ratou, a arahina ana ia e ahau ki to ratou runanga;

29 w hom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

Na ka kite ahau he kupu tautohe no to ratou ture i whakawakia ai ia, kahore hoki ona he i tika ai te mate, te here ranei.

30 A nd when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.

A, no te whakaaturanga mai ki ahau, kei te whakapapatia he mate mo te tangata nei, tonoa tonutia ia e ahau ki a koe, i mea hoki ahau ki ona kaiwhakapae, kia korerotia ki a koe nga mea mona.

31 S o the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

Na ka mau nga hoia ki a Paora, ka pera me te mea i korerotia ki a ratou, a arahina ana ia i te po ki Anatipatari.

32 B ut on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

Ao ake te ra ka tukua atu nga tangata eke hoiho hei hoa haere mona, a hoki ana ratou ki te pa:

33 a nd they, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

A, no te taenga o era ki Hiharia, ka hoatu te pukapuka ki te kawana, a whakaturia ana a Paora ki tona aroaro.

34 A nd when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,

A, no te tirohanga iho o te kawana, ka ui, no tehea kawanatanga ia; a, i tona rongonga no Kirikia ia,

35 I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod's palace.

Ka mea ia, Ka whakarongo ahau ki a koe, ina tae mai ano hoki ou kaiwhakapae: a i whakahau ia, kia tiakina ia i roto i te whare whakawa o Herora.
