1 N a e haere tahi atu ana a pita raua ko Hoani ki te temepara i te haora inoi, i te iwa o nga haora.

Peter and John were going to the house of God about three o’clock. It was the time for prayer.

2 N a ka kawea mai tetahi tangata, he kopa no te kopu mai ano o tona whaea, he mea whakatakoto i nga ra katoa ki te kuwaha o te temepara i huaina nei ko Ataahua, ki te tono mea mana i te hunga e tomo ana ki te temepara;

Each day a certain man was carried to the Beautiful Gate of the house of God. This man had never been able to walk. He was there begging for money from those who were going in.

3 N o tona kitenga i a Pita raua ko Hoani meake tomo ki te temepara, ka tono ia i tetahi mea mana.

He asked Peter and John for money when he saw them going in.

4 N a ka whakamau atu nga kanohi o Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ia, ka mea, Titiro mai ki a maua.

Peter and John looked at him. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”

5 K a whakarongo ia ki a raua, hua noa e riro mai tetahi mea a raua mana.

The man who could not walk looked at them. He thought he would get something from them.

6 A no ra ko Pita, Ko te hiriwa me te koura kahore i ahau; ko te mea ia kei ahau, maku tena e hoatu ki a koe: I runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, whakatika, haere.

Peter said, “I have no money, but what I have I will give you! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”

7 K atahi ia ka hopu i tona ringa matau ka whakaara ake i a ia: i reira tonu kua whai kaha ona waewae me nga pona.

Peter took the man by the right hand and lifted him up. At once his feet and the bones in his legs became strong.

8 A , ko tona mawhititanga ake, ka tu, ka timata te haere, tomo tahi ana me raua ki te temepara, e haere ana, e tupeke ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua.

He jumped up on his feet and walked. Then he went into the house of God with them. He gave thanks to God as he walked.

9 A i kite te iwi katoa i a ia e haere ana, e whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua.

All the people saw him walking and giving thanks to God.

10 K atahi ratou ka mohio ki a ia, ko ia ano tera i noho ra ki te tatau Ataahua o te temepara, tono mea ai mana: na nui atu to ratou miharo me te ihiihi ki taua mea i pa ki a ia.

They knew it was the man who had been sitting and begging at the Beautiful Gate. They were surprised he was walking.

11 I a ia e pupuri ana ki a Pita raua ko Hoani, ka oma atu te iwi katoa ki a ratou i te whakamahau i huaina nei ko ta Horomona, nui rawa te whakamiharo.

The man who was healed held on to Peter and John. All the people who were surprised gathered together around them in a place called Solomon’s Porch. Peter Preaches the Second Time

12 A , i te kitenga o Pita, ka whai kupu atu ia ki te iwi, E nga tangata o Iharaira, he aha ta koutou e miharo nei ki tenei tangata? he aha hoki koutou ka whakamau ai te titiro ki a maua, me te mea he mana no maua ake he ngakau karakia ranei i meati a ai ia kia haere?

When Peter saw this, he said to them, “Jewish men, why are you surprised at this? Why do you look at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or holy lives?

13 N a te Atua o Aperahama, o ihaka, o Hakopa, na te Atua o o tatou matua, i whakakororia tana Tama a Ihu: ko ta koutou i tuku na, i whakakahore na i te aroaro o Pirato, kua oti ra i a ia kia tukua ia.

The God of our fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, has done this. He has honored His Son Jesus. He is the One you handed over to Pilate. You turned your backs on Him after Pilate had decided to let Him go free.

14 O tira whakakahoretia ana e koutou te Mea Tapu, te Mea Tika, tonoa ana ko te tangata kohuru kia homai ki a koutou;

But you turned your backs against the Holy and Right One. Then you asked for a man who had killed someone to go free.

15 P atua ana hoki e koutou te Take o te ora; kua whakaarahia nei ia e te Atua i te hunga mate, ko matou nei ona kaiwhakaatu.

You killed the very One Who made all life. But God raised Him from the dead. We saw Him alive.

16 A na te whakapono ki tona ingoa i meinga ai e tona ingoa tenei tangata kia kaha, e kite nei, e matau nei koutou; ae ra, ko te whakapono ki a ia te mea nana i hoatu tenei ora nui ki tenei i te aroaro o koutou katoa.

You see and know this man here. He has been made strong through faith in Jesus’ name. Yes, it is faith in Christ that has made this man well and strong. This man is standing here in front of you all.

17 N a, e oku teina, e mahara ana ahau na te kuware tena mahi a koutou, pera i ta o koutou rangatira.

“Brothers, I know you and your leaders did this without knowing what you were doing.

18 E ngari ko nga mea a te Atua i whakakitea i mua e te mangai o nga poropiti katoa, mo tana Karaiti kia whakamamaetia, kua rite enei i a ia.

In this way, God did what He said He would do through all the early preachers. He said that Christ must suffer many hard things.

19 N o reira, Ripeneta, a tahuri mai ano koutou, kia murua ai o koutou hara, kia puta mai ai i te aroaro o te Ariki he wa whakahauora.

But you must be sorry for your sins and turn from them. You must turn to God and have your sins taken away. Then many times your soul will receive new strength from the Lord.

20 A kia tonoa mai ai e ia te Karaiti i whakaritea nei mo koutou, ara a Ihu:

He will send Jesus back to the world. He is the Christ Who long ago was chosen for you.

21 K ua takoto nei te tikanga kia noho ia ki te rangi a taea noatia nga wa o te whakahokinga mai o nga mea katoa, i korero ai te Atua ra te mangai o ana poropiti tapu no te timatanga mai ano o te ao.

But for awhile He must stay in heaven until the time when all things are made right. God said these things would happen through His holy early preachers.

22 I mea ra hoki a Mohi, Ma te Ariki, ma te Atua, e whakaara ake he poropiti mo koutou i roto i o koutou teina, he penei ano me ahau; ko ia ta koutou e whakarongo ai i nga mea katoa e mea ai ia ki a koutou.

“Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up from among your brothers One Who speaks for God, as He raised me. You must listen to everything He says.

23 A taua wa, ko nga wairua katoa e kore e whakarongo ki taua poropiti, ka whakamatea rawatia i roto i te iwi.

Everyone among the people who will not listen to that One Who speaks for God will be put to death.’

24 A e ra, ko nga poropiti katoa o Hamuera iho ano, tae mai ki o muri nei, ko te hunga katoa i korero, i whakaatu ano hoki ratou i nga ra nei.

All the early preachers who have spoken from Samuel until now have told of these days.

25 K o koutou aua tama a nga poropiti, a te kawenata hoki i whakatakotoria e te Atua ki o koutou matua, i mea ra ia ki a Aperahama, Ma tou uri ka manaakitia ai nga hapu katoa o te ao.

You are of the family of the early preachers and of the promise that God made with our early fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will receive God’s favor through your children.’

26 M o koutou ke hoki i te tuatahi, i tana whakaaranga ake ai i tana Tama, te tononga mai nei a te Atua i a ia ki a koutou hei manaaki i a koutou, hei whakatahuri i tenei, i tenei o koutou i o koutou kino.

God has raised up His Son Jesus and has sent Him to you first to give God’s favor to each of you who will turn away from his sinful ways.”
