1 N a ko tetahi tangata ko Anania tona ingoa, raua ko tana wahine, ko Hapaira, i hoko atu i tetahi whenua;

But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

2 A puritia ana e ia tetahi wahi o te utu, ko tana wahine hoki i mohio ki taua mea huna, mauria ana tetahi wahi, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.

and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

3 N a ko te meatanga atu a Pita, E Anania, na te aha i whakakiia ai tou ngakau e Hatana kia teka koe ki te Wairua Tapu, kia puritia atu ai tetahi wahi o te utu o te whenua?

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

4 I te mea kahore ano i riro, he teka ianei nau ake tau mea? a ka oti te hoko tikanga? na te aha tenei mea i whakaaroa ai i roto i tou ngakau? kihai hoki koe i teka ki te tangata, engari ki te Atua.

While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God.

5 A , no te rongonga o Anania i enei kupu, hinga ana ki raro, mate rawa: he nui ano te wehi i tau ki te hunga katoa i rongo i enei mea.

And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.

6 N a ka whakatika nga taitamariki, takai ana i a ia, a maua atu ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana.

And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.

7 A , patata ki te toru haora i muri, ka tomo mai tana wahine, kihai hoki i mohio he aha te mea kua meatia.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

8 N a ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, Korero mai ki ahau, ko te utu ranei tera i hokona atu ai e korua te whenua? ka mea ia, Ae, koia tena.

And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.

9 K a mea a Pita ki a ia, he aha korua i whakaaro tahi ai ki te whakamatautau i te Wairua o te Ariki? Nana, kei te kuwaha nga waewae o te hunga i tanumia ai tau tane, ma ratou koe e kawe ki waho.

But Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

10 N a hinga tonu iho ia ki ona waewae, hemo rawa: a, ko te tomonga mai o nga taitamariki, rokohanga mai kua mate, na kawea ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana ki te taha o tana tane.

And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

11 A nui atu te wehi o te hahi katoa, o te hunga katoa ano i rangona ai enei mea.

And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

12 A na nga ringa o nga apotoro i mahi nga tohu maha, me nga mea whakamiharo, i roto i te iwi; i noho hoki ratou katoa ki te whakamahau o Horomona, kotahi ano te whakaaro.

And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

13 T ena ko era atu tangata kihai rawa tetahi i maia ki te whakauru mai ki a ratou: otira whakanuia ana ratou e te iwi.

But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;

14 A he nui noa atu te hunga whakapono i honoa mai ki te Ariki, tona tino te tane, o te wahine.

and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of them and women;

15 N a reira hoki ka mauria e ratou nga turoro ki nga ara, whakatakotoria ana ki runga i nga moenga, i nga whariki, me kore noa e taumarumaru iho ki tetahi o ratou te atarangi o Pita, i a ia e haere ana.

insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

16 I hui katoa mai ano te mano i nga pa katoa e patata ana ki Hiruharama, me te mau mai i nga turoro, i te hunga e whakaporeareatia ana e nga wairua poke; a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa.

And there also came together the multitudes from the cities round about Jerusalem, bring sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

17 M e i reira ka whakatika te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa katoa, ara te wehenga ki nga Haruki, ki tonu hoki ratou i te hae,

But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

18 A ka pa o ratou ringa ki nga apotoro, maka ana ratou ki te whare herehere nui.

and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.

19 O tira na tetahi anahera a te Ariki i uaki nga tatau o te whare herehere i te po; arahina mai ana ratou e ia ki waho, ka mea,

But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,

20 H aere, e tu i roto i te temepara, ka korero ki te iwi i nga kupu katoa o tenei ora.

Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.

21 A ka rongo ratou i tenei, ka tomo ki te temepara i te atatu, ka whakaako. Na ko te haerenga o te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa, karangatia ana kia huihui te runanga me nga kaumatua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, a tonoa ana he tangata ki te whare h erehere hei tiki i a ratou.

And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.

22 O tira, ko nga katipa i tae mai, kihai i kite i a ratou i roto i te whare herehere, na ka hoki mai, ka korero.

But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,

23 K a mea, Rokohina atu e matou e tutaki tonu ana te whare herehere u tonu, me nga kaitiaki e tu ana i waho o nga tatau; no te huakanga atu, kahore he tangata i kitea e matou i roto.

saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

24 A , no ka rongo te rangatira o te temepara ratou ko nga tohunga nui ki enei kupu, ka pororaru ratou, he aha ra te tukunga iho o taua mea.

Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.

25 N a ko te haerenga mai o tetahi, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Nana, ko te hunga i maka ra e koutou ki te whare herehere, e tu mai nei i te temepara, e whakaako ana i te iwi.

And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.

26 K atahi ka haere te rangatira ratou ko nga katipa, a arahina mai ana ratou, otira kihai i taka kinotia; i wehi hoki ratou i te iwi, kei akina ratou ki te kohatu.

Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

27 A , ka oti ratou te arahi mai, ka whakaturia ki mua i te runanga: na ka ui te tohunga nui ki a ratou,

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

28 K a mea, Kihai ianei matou i ata whakatupato i a koutou kia kaua e whakaako i runga i tenei ingoa? na, kua ki nei Hiruharama i ta koutou whakaakoranga, a e mea ana koutou kia whakairia nga toto o tenei tangata ki runga i a matou.

saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

29 N a ka whakahoki a Pita ratou ko nga apotoro, ka mea, Me whakarongo ra matou ki te Atua, kaua ki te tangata.

But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.

30 N a te Atua o o tatou tupuna i whakaara ake a Ihu, i whakamatea na e koutou, he mea whakairi ki te rakau.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

31 K ua oti ia te whakanoho e te ringa matau o te Atua ki runga, hei Piriniha, hei Kaiwhakaora, hei homai i te ripeneta, i te murunga hara ki a Iharaira.

Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

32 K o matou ano nga kaiwhakaatu i enei mea: ko te Wairua Tapu hoki, i homai nei e te Atua ki te hunga e rongo ana ki a ia.

And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

33 O tira, i to ratou rongonga i tenei, tu tonu ki o ratou ngakau, a ka whakaaro kia whakamatea ratou.

But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and minded to slay them.

34 N a ka whakatika tetahi o nga Parihi i roto i te runanga, ko Kamariera te ingoa, he kaiwhakaako i te ture, he tangata e whakanuia ana e te iwi katoa, ka mea, kia nekehia atu aua tangata ki waho mo tetahi wa poto nei.

But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.

35 N a ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E nga tangata o Iharaira, kia tupato ki ta koutou e mea ai ki enei tangata.

And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.

36 I nga ra ki muri ka whakatika ake a Teura, me te whakaari i a ia, ko ia he tangata nui: piri atu ana ki a ia etahi tangata, patata ki te wha rau: na patua iho ia; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana, a kore ake.

For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.

37 A muri iho i taua tangata ka whakatika ake ko Hura o Kariri i nga ra o te tatauranga, a kumea atu ana e ia etahi o te iwi ki te whai i a ia; i ngaro ano hoki tena; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana.

After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away some of the people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

38 N a ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kati te mea ki enei tangata, waiho noa iho ratou; ki te mea hoki na te tangata tenei whakaaro, tenei mahi, tera e whakakahoretia.

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:

39 O tira mehemea na te Atua, e kore rawa e taea e koutou te whakakahore; kei tupono hoki e whawhai ke ana koutou ki te Atua.

but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God.

40 A whakaae ana ratou ki a ia: na ka karangatia nga apotoro ki a ratou, ka whiua, ka whakatupatoria kia kaua rawa e korero i runga i te ingoa o Ihu, a tukua ana ratou kia haere.

And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

41 H eoi haere hari atu ana ratou i te aroaro o te runanga, mo ratou kua meinga e pai ana kia whakataurekarekatia mo te Ingoa.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

42 A , i nga ra katoa, i roto i te temepara, i nga kainga ranei, kahore e mutu ana ta ratou whakaako, ta ratou kauwhau i a Ihu, ko te Karaiti ia.

And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus as the Christ.
