1 H eoi ka wehe matou i a ratou, ka rere, a tika tonu atu, tae noa ki Koha, a ao ake te ra kei Roro, i reira atu ki Patara.

¶ And it came to pass that after we had left them and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from there unto Patara;

2 N a ka rokohanga tetahi kaipuke e whakawhiti atu ana ki Pinika, a eke ana matou ki runga, rere ana.

and finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard and set forth.

3 A ka kitea Kaiperu, ka mahue ake i te taha ki maui, ka rere atu matou ki Hiria, a ka u ki Taira: hei reira hoki te kaipuke ruke ai i tona utanga.

Now when we had sighted Cyprus, we left it on the left hand and sailed into Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

4 A ka kitea nga akonga, e whitu nga ra i noho ai matou ki reira: ka korero hoki ratou ki a Paora, he mea na te Wairua, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.

And finding the disciples, we tarried there seven days, who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 A ka rite aua ra o matou, ka puta atu matou, ka haere; me te kawe ano ratou katoa, me nga wahine, me nga tamariki, i a matou a waho ra ano o te pa: na ka tukua o matou turi ki te tahatai, ka inoi;

And when we had accomplished those days, we departed; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, until we were out of the city; and we knelt down on the shore and prayed.

6 K atahi ka poroporoaki matou tetahi ki tetahi; a eke ana matou ki te kaipuke; ko ratou ia i hoki ki o ratou kainga.

And when we had taken our leave one of another, we embarked on the ship, and they returned home again.

7 A ka tutuki to matou rerenga atu i Taira, ka tae ki Toromai, na ka oha atu ki nga teina, a kotahi te ra i noho ai ki a ratou.

And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais and saluted the brethren and abode with them one day.

8 I te aonga ake ka turia atu e matou, ka haere ki Hiharia: a tomo ana ki te whare o Piripi kaikauwhau, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tokowhitu; noho ana i a ia.

¶ And the next day Paul and those of us that were with him departed and came unto Caesarea; and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and abode with him.

9 N a tokowha nga tamahine a taua tangata, he wahine, he poropiti.

And he had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.

10 A ka maha o matou ra i noho ai, ka haere mai tetahi poropiti i Huria, ko Akapu te ingoa.

And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

11 A , no to ratou taenga mai ki a matou, ka mau ki te whitiki o Paora, herea iho e ia ona ake ringa me ona waewae, ka mea, Ko ta te Wairua Tapu korero tenei, E peneitia te here o te tangata nona tenei whitiki e nga Hurai i Hiruharama, e tukua atu a no ia ki nga ringa o nga Tauiwi.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle and bound his own hands and feet and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

12 H eoi, i to matou rongonga i enei mea, ka tohe matou ko nga tangata o taua kainga, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.

And when we heard these things, both we and those of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 N a ko te whakahokinga a Paora, he aha ta koutou e tangi, e whakangakaukore nei i ahau? ehara hoki i te mea ko te here anake taku e pai ai, engari ko te mate ano hoki ki Hiruharama, mo te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

14 A , no tona korenga i rongo, ka mutu ta matou, ka mea, Kia meatia ta te Ariki e pai ai.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, Let the will of the Lord be done.

15 A ka pahemo enei ra, ka takai matou i a matou mea, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.

¶ And after those days we packed our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

16 I haere tahi ano i a matou etahi o nga akonga o Hiharia, na ratou i mau ake a Nahona o Kaiperu, he akonga tawhito hei tukunga atu mo matou.

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

17 A , i to matou taenga ki Hiruharama, ka koa nga teina ki a matou.

And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18 I te aonga ake ka haere tahi matou ko Paora ki a Hemi: i reira ano nga kaumatua katoa.

And the day following, Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were gathered.

19 N a ka oha ia ki a ratou, ka korerotia takitahitia nga mea i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i roto i nga Tauiwi.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

20 N o to ratou rongonga, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kite koe, e to matou teina, i nga mano tini o nga Hurai kua whakapono nei; e uaua katoa ana hoki ki te ture:

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous of the law;

21 K ua rongo ano hoki ratou ki a koe, e whakaako ana koe i nga Hurai katoa i roto i nga Tauiwi, kia whakarerea a Mohi, e mea ana kia kaua ratou e kokoti i nga tamariki, kia kaua ano e haere i runga i nga ritenga o mua.

and they are informed of thee that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

22 N a, me pehea? e kore hoki e kore ka rongo ratou ki tou taenga mai.

What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together, for they will hear that thou art come.

23 N a, me mea e koe tenei e korerotia nei e matou ki a koe: Tokowha o matou tangata, he kupu taurangi ta ratou;

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men among us who have a vow on them;

24 T angohia enei, kia purea ngatahitia koutou, mau ano e utu a ratou mea, kia waruhia ai o ratou matenga: a ka kite ratou katoa he teka noa nga mea i korerotia mou: engari ko koe, he tika tau haere, kei te whakarite ano koe i te ture.

them take, and purify thyself with them, and pay their expenses, that they may shave their heads, and all may know that those things, of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thyself dost also walk orderly and keep the law.

25 T ena ko nga Tauiwi kua whakapono, kua tuhituhi atu matou, kua whakatakoto tikanga atu, kia tupato ratou i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, i te toto, i te mea kua notia te kaki, i te moe tahae.

As touching the Gentiles who believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, except only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols and from blood and from that which has been strangled and from fornication.

26 N a ka mau a Paora ki aua tangata, a i te aonga ake ka pure tahi, ka haere tahi ratou ki roto ki te temepara, hei whakaatu ka whakaritea nga ra mo te purenga, kia whakaherea ra ano he whakahere mo tetahi, mo tetahi o ratou.

Then Paul took the men and the next day, purifying himself with them, entered into the temple to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification until an offering should be offered for each one of them.

27 H eoi ka tata nga ra e whitu te taka, ka kitea ia i roto i te temepara e etahi Hurai o Ahia: na ratou i whakaoho te mano katoa, a ka pa o ratou ringa ki a ia,

¶ And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews, who were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands on him,

28 K a karanga, E nga tangata o Iharaira, awhinatia mai: Ko te tangata tenei e whakaako nei i nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa ki nga mea whakahe mo te iwi, mo te ture, mo tenei kainga hoki: kua kawea mai ano e ia etahi Kariki ki roto ki te temepa ra, a ka noa nei i a ia tenei wahi tapu.

crying out, Men of Israel, help; this is the man that teaches everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place and further brought Greeks also into the temple and has polluted this holy place.

29 I kite hoki ratou i mua he hoa nona i roto i te pa, ko Toropimu o Epeha; tohu noa ratou, kua mauria mai ia e Paora ki roto ki te temepara.

(For before this they had seen Trophimus, an Ephesian, with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

30 N a ka oho te pa katoa, ka oma nga tangata: a ka mau ratou ki a Paora, toia ana ia ki waho o te temepara: tutakina tonutia atu nga tatau.

So that all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they took Paul and drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

31 N a i a ratou e whai ana kia patua ia, ka tae te rongo ki te rangatira mano o te hapu hoia, kua tutu te puehu i Hiruharama katoa.

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the tribunal of the company that all Jerusalem was in an uproar

32 N a hohoro tonu tana mau ki etahi hoia, ki etahi keneturio, a oma iho ana ki a ratou: a, no to ratou kitenga i te rangatira mano, i nga hoia hoki, ka mutu te patu i a Paora.

who immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down unto them; and when they saw the tribunal and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.

33 N a ka whakatata mai te rangatira mano, ka tango i a ia, ka mea kia herea ia ki nga mekameka e rua; a ka ui ko wai ia, i aha hoki ia.

Then the tribunal came near and took him and commanded him to be bound with two chains and demanded to know who he was and what he had done.

34 N a he karanga ano ta etahi, he karanga ke ta etahi, i roto i te mano: na kihai ia i mohio ki te tino tikanga, i te ngangau hoki, a whakahaua ana kia arahina ia ki te pa.

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude; and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the fortress.

35 A , no tona taenga ki te pikitanga, ka hikitia ia e nga hoia i te taututetutenga hoki a te tangata;

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers because of the violence of the people.

36 I aru hoki te huihui o te iwi, me te karanga, Whakamatea ia.

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

37 A , no ka whano a Paora te kawea ki roto ki te pa, ka mea ia ki te rangatira mano, E pai ana ranei kia korero ahau i tetahi kupu ki a koe? Ka mea ia, E matau ana ranei koe ki te reo Kariki?

And as Paul was to be led into the fortress, he said unto the tribunal, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

38 E hara oi koe i te Ihipiana, nana nei i whakatupu te tutu i mua ake ra, a mauria ana e ia nga tangata kohuru e wha mano ki te koraha?

Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days made an uproar and led four thousand men out into the wilderness that were murderers?

39 K a mea a Paora, he Hurai ahau, no Tarahu o Kirikia, he tangata tupu no taua pa, ehara hoki i te pa ingoakore: na ko taku inoi tenei ki a koe, tukua ahau kia korero ki te iwi.

But Paul said, I am certainly a Jew, a citizen of Tarsus, a city known in Cilicia; and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

40 N a tukua ana e ia, a tu ana a Paora ki te pikitanga, ka tawhiri tona ringa ki te iwi. Na mutu pu te turituri, ka korero ia, no nga Hiperu te reo, ka mea,

And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
