1 M uri iho i enei mea ka haere atu a Paora i Atene, ka tae ki Koriniti;

And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;

2 N a ka kite ia i tetahi Hurai ko Akuira te ingoa, i whanau ki Ponoto, he mea tae hou mai i Itari, raua ko tana wahine, ko Pirihira; kua whakahaua hoki e Karauria kia haere atu nga Hurai katoa i Roma: a ka haere ia ki a raua.

and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome,) came to them,

3 A , no te mea kotahi ta ratou mahi, ka noho ia ki a raua, ka mahi ratou: he tui teneti hoki ta raua mahi.

and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.

4 N a ka korerorero ia i roto i te whare karakia i nga hapati katoa, e tohe ana ki nga Hurai ratou ko nga Kariki.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5 N o te taenga mai ia o Hira raua ko Timoti i Makeronia, ka takare te ngakau o Paora, ka whakapuaki ki nga Hurai ko Ihu te Karaiti.

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

6 H eoi, i a ratou ka whakatika, ka kohukohu, ka ruia e ia ona kakahu, ka mea ki a ratou, hei runga i o koutou matenga o koutou toto; ka ma ahau: ko tenei ka haere ahau ki nga Tauiwi.

But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.

7 N a ka haere atu ia i reira, ka tomo ki te whare o tetahi tangata, ko Taituha Hutuha te ingoa, he tangata karakia ki te Atua, ko tona whare i tata tonu ki te whare karakia.

And departing thence he came to the house of a certain, by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.

8 N a ka whakapono a Kirihipu, te rangatira o te whare karakia, me tona whare katoa ki te Ariki; he tokomaha hoki nga Koriniti, i a ratou ka rongo, i whakapono, i iriiria hoki.

But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.

9 A ka korero moemoea te Ariki ki a Paora i te po, Kaua e wehi, engari me korero, kei noho puku:

And the Lord said by vision in night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;

10 K ei a koe hoki ahau, e kore hoki tetahi tangata e pa ki a koe, e hoatu i te kino ki a koe: he nui hoki aku tangata i tenei pa.

because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.

11 N a kotahi te tau e ono marama i noho ai ia i reira, i whakaako ai i te kupu a te Atua i roto i a ratou.

And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

12 N a, i a Kario e noho ana hei kawana mo Akaia, kotahi tonu whakatikanga o nga Hurai ki a Paora, a kawea ana ia ki te nohoanga whakawa,

But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,

13 K a mea, E kukume ana tenei i nga tangata ki tetahi karakia ki te Atua e poka ke ana i ta te ture.

saying, This persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 A , e mea tonu ana te mangai o Paora ki te puaki, ka mea a Kario ki nga Hurai, E nga Hurai, mehemea ko tetahi hanga he, ko tetahi mahi kino ranei, he tika kia ata whakarongo ahau ki a koutou:

But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you;

15 K o tenei he totohe korero, he mea ki nga ingoa, ki ta koutou ture, kei a koutou te whakaaro; e kore hoki ahau e pai kia waiho ahau hei kaiwhakawa mo ena mea.

but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; I do not intend to be judge of these things.

16 N a peia atu ana ratou e ia i te nohoanga whakawa.

And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

17 N a ka mau nga Kariki katoa ki a Hotene, rangatira o te whare karakia, a whiua ana ia i mua o te nohoanga whakawa. Heoi kihai a Kario i whakaaro ki tetahi o enei mea.

And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things.

18 A , ka maha nga ra i noho ai a Paora, ka poroporoaki ia ki nga teina, a rere ana ki Hiria, ratou ko Pirihira ko Akuira; he mea moremore tona i Kenekerea: he ki taurangi hoki nana.

And Paul, having yet stayed many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow;

19 A ka tae ratou ki Epeha, ka mahue raua i a ia ki reira: ko ia i tomo ki te whare karakia, korerorero ai ki nga Hurai.

and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.

20 A , i ta ratou meatanga kia roa atu te wa e noho ai ia ki a ratou, kihai ia i whakaae;

And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time he did not accede,

21 H eoi poroporoaki ana ki a ratou, ka mea, E hoki mai ano ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua; a rere atu ana ia i Epeha.

but bade them farewell, saying,; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.

22 A , no ka u ia ki Hiharia, ka haere atu ka oha ki te hahi, a haere ana ki Anatioka.

And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

23 A , roaroa iho ki reira, ka haere, a haereerea marietia ana e ia te whenua o Karatia, o Pirikia, me te whakau i nga akonga katoa.

And having stayed some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.

24 N a ka haere mai tetahi Hurai ki Epeha, ko Aporo te ingoa, i whanau ki Arehanaria, he pu korero, he tangata kaha ki nga karaipiture.

But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.

25 I whakaakona tenei tangata ki te ara o te Ariki; he tangata ia e toko tonu ake ana te ngakau, ka korero ia, tika tonu hoki tana whakaako i nga mea mo Ihu; heoi ano tana i matau ai ko te iriiri a Hoani;

He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.

26 K a anga ia ka korero nui i roto i te whare karakia. No te rongonga o Akuira raua ko Pirihia ki a ia, ka mau raua ki a ia, ka ata whakaatu ki a ia i te ara o te Atua.

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.

27 A , no ka mea ia kia haere ki Akaia, ka tautokona ia e nga teina, a ka tuhituhi ratou ki nga akonga kia whakamanuhiritia ia e ratou: a, no tona taenga atu, ka whakakahangia e ia te hunga i meinga nei e te aroha noa kia whakapono:

And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace.

28 K aha rawa hoki tana whawhati i ta nga Hurai i roto i te huihui; whakaaturia ana e ia ta nga karaipiture mo Ihu, ko te Karaiti ia.

For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
