1 N ow there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

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.

2 A nd as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

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.

3 T hen, having fasted and prayed, and having laid hands on them, they let go.

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.

4 T hey therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.

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

5 A nd being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as attendant.

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.

6 A nd having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus,

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:

7 w ho was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to, desired to hear the word of God.

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.

8 B ut Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

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.

9 B ut Saul, who also Paul, filled with Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,

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

10 s aid, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of Lord?

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?

11 A nd now behold, Lord's hand upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.

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.

12 T hen the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

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

13 A nd having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and returned to Jerusalem.

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.

14 B ut they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down.

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.

15 A nd after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.

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.

16 A nd Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.

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.

17 T he God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,

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.

18 a nd for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.

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

19 A nd having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

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:

20 A nd after these things he gave judges till Samuel the prophet, about four hundred and fifty years.

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

21 A nd then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

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.

22 A nd having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.

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.

23 O f this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

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;

24 J ohn having proclaimed before the face of his entry baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

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

25 A nd as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

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.

26 B rethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:

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.

27 f or those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, judging.

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.

28 A nd having found no cause of death, they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.

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

29 A nd when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;

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.

30 b ut God raised him from among dead,

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

31 w ho appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

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.

32 A nd we declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,

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

33 t hat God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

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.

34 B ut that he raised him from among dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.

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.

35 W herefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.

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

36 F or David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.

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:

37 B ut he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

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

38 B e it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you,

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

39 a nd from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.

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.

40 S ee therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon,

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

41 B ehold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.

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.

42 A nd as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.

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.

43 A nd the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

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.

44 A nd on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

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.

45 B ut the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, speaking injuriously.

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.

46 A nd Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations;

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.

47 f or thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.

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.

48 A nd the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life.

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.

49 A nd the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.

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

50 B ut the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.

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.

51 B ut they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.

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

52 A nd the disciples were filled with joy and Holy Spirit.

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