1 A ka rongo nga apotoro me nga tuakana i Huria, kua tango hoki nga Tauiwi te kupu a te Atua.

And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;

2 A , no te taenga ake o Pita ki Hiruharama, ka whakawakia ia e te hunga o te kotinga,

and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

3 I mea ratou, I haere koe ki roto ki nga tangata kihai i kotia, i kai tahi me ratou.

saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.

4 N a ka timata a Pita, ka korero whakatepe atu ki a ratou, ka mea,

But Peter began and set forth to them in order, saying,

5 I te pa ahau, i Hopa, e inoi ana; a ka kite moemoea ahau i tetahi whakakitenga, ko tetahi mea e heke iho ana, ano he kakahu nui, he mea tuku iho i te rangi ma nga pito e wha; a tae tonu mai ki ahau:

I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

6 N o te whakamaunga atu o oku kanohi ki taua mea, ka whakaaro ahau, a ka kite i nga karerehe waewae wha o te whenua, i nga kararehe mohoao me nga mea ngokingoki me nga manu o te rangi.

on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

7 A ka rongo hoki ahau he reo e mea mai ana ki ahau, E ara, e Pita; patua, kainga.

And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

8 O tira ka ki atu ahau, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano hoki tetahi mea noa, poke ranei, i tapoko noa ki toku mangai.

And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

9 N a ka whakahoki tuarua mai he reo no te rangi, Ko a te Atua i mea ai kia ma, kaua e meinga e koe kia noa.

And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.

10 E toru nga meatanga o tenei: ka hutia katoatia atu ano ki te rangi.

And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

11 N a i taua wa ano kua tu nga tangata tokotoru ki mua i te whare i noho ai ahau, he mea tono mai no Hiharia ki ahau.

and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

12 N a ka mea te Wairua ki ahau kia haere tahi matou, kia kaua ahau e ruarua. I haere tahi ano i ahau enei teina tokoono, a tomo ana matou ki te whare o taua tangata:

And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

13 N a ka korerotia mai e ia ki a matou tona kitenga i te anahera i tona whare e tu ana, e mea ana ki a ia, Tonoa etahi tangata ki Hopa, tikina a Haimona, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita:

and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying, Send to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

14 M ana e korero ki a koe etahi kupu, e ora ai koutou ko tou whare katoa.

who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

15 A , noku ka timata ki te korero, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki a ratou, ka pera ano me ia ki a tatou i te timatanga.

And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

16 K atahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tana i mea ai, i iriiri ra a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with Holy Spirit.

17 N a, mehemea rite tonu ta te Atua mea i hoatu ai ki a ratou ki tana i homai ai hoki ki a tatou, i a tatou i whakapono ai ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti; ko wai ahau, kia ahei te tu atu ki te Atua?

If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?

18 A , no ka rongo ratou ki enei mea, mutu pu ta ratou korero, heoi ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Koia ano, kua homai hoki e te Atua ki nga Tauiwi te ripeneta e ora ai.

And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

19 N a, ko te iwi i whakamararatia atu i runga i te tukinotanga i puta ake i to Tepene, haereere ana ratou a tae noa ki Pinikia, ki Kaiperu, ki Anatioka, me te kauwhau ano i te kupu ki nga Hurai anake, kahore ki etahi atu.

They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

20 O tira ko etahi o ratou, he tangata no Kaiperu, no Hairini, i to ratou taenga ki Anatioka, ka korero ki nga Kariki hoki, ka kauwhau i te Ariki, i a Ihu.

But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

21 K o te ringa hoki o te Ariki i a ratou: a he tokomaha rawa i whakapono, i tahuri ki te Ariki.

And Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

22 N a ka tae to ratou rongo ki nga taringa o te hahi i Hiruharama; a ka tonoa e ratou a Panapa kia haere ki Anatioka:

And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

23 N o tona taenga atu, ka kite i te aroha noa o te Atua, ka hari, ka whakahau i a ratou katoa kia u te ngakau, kia piri ki te Ariki.

who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

24 H e tangata pai hoki ia, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i te whakapono: he nui ano te hunga i honoa ki te Ariki.

for he was a good man and full of Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd were added to the Lord.

25 M e i reira ka haere atu a Panapa ki Tarahu, ki te rapu i a Haora:

And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.

26 A , no ka kitea ia e ia, ka kawea mai ia e ia ki Anatioka. A kotahi tino tau i huihui tahi ai raua ki te hahi, a he nui te hunga i whakaakona. I matua huaina hoki nga akonga he Karaitiana ki Anatioka.

And having found, he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

27 N a i aua ra ka heke mai etahi poropiti i Hiruharama ki Anatioka.

Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;

28 A ka tu ake tetahi o ratou, ko Akapu te ingoa, ka whakakite, he mea na te Wairua, tera ka pa he mate nui i te hiakai ki te whenua katoa: i puta ano tenei i nga ra o Karauria.

and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.

29 N a ka whakatakoto tikanga nga akonga i runga i te mea e taea e tena, e tena, kia tukua atu he awhina mo nga tuakana e noho ana i Huria:

And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister;

30 P era ana hoki ratou, tukua atu ana ki nga kaumatua ma te ringa o Panapa raua ko Haora.

which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
