1 A nd Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto 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 B ut the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.

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

3 T hen Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And thou, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

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 those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?

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 was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the 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 Paul, knowing that the one part were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: I am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of dead.

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 spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.

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

8 F or Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.

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 was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has 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 a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring into the fortress.

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 B ut the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.

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, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill 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 who had joined together in this oath;

A e wha tekau ngahoro nga tangata nana tenei oatitanga.

14 a nd they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill 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 make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill 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, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported to 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, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to 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 H e therefore, having taken him with, led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has 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 chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to 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 together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise 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 then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting 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 T he chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding, Utter to no one that thou hast represented 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 having called to certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for 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 to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry safe through to 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 h aving written a letter, couched in this form:

A i tuhituhia e ia he pukapuka, ka penei:

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

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

27 T his man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out, 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 charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to 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 of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him 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 B ut having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man, I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him.

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 T he soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered 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 a nd on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.

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 these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to 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 having read, and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that of Cilicia,

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

35 h e said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.

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.
