1 P aul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

Na ka tae atu hoki ia ki Rerepe, ki Raihitara: a, i reira tetahi akonga, ko Timoti te ingoa, he tama na tetahi wahine whakapono, he Hurai, ko tona papa ia he Kariki.

2 a nd he was well spoken of by the brethren who were in Lystra and Iconium.

He pai te korero mona a nga teina i Raihitara, i Ikoniuma.

3 P aul wanted this man to go with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

I mea a Paora kia haere ia hei hoa mona; a tangohia ana ia, kotia ana, he mea hoki mo nga Hurai e noho ana i aua wahi: i matau hoki ratou katoa he kariki tona papa.

4 N ow while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the decrees which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem, for them to observe.

A, i a ratou e haereere ana i nga pa, ka tukua e ratou hei pupuri ma ratou nga tikanga i whakaritea e nga apotoro, e nga kaumatua, i Hiruharama.

5 S o the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.

Na ka whakaukia nga hahi ki te whakapono, ka nui haere hoki i tenei ra, i tenei ra.

6 T hey passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

Na haere ana ratou na waenganui o te whenua o Pirikia, o Karatia, kua araia hoki e te Wairua Tapu kei korero i te kupu ki Ahia;

7 a nd after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

A, i te taenga atu ki Maihia, ka whakamatau ratou ki te haere ki Pitinia; heoi kihai i tukua e te Wairua o Ihu;

8 a nd passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

Na kapea ana Maihia, ka haere ki Toroa.

9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”

A ka kitea e Paora he kitenga i te po: He tangata no Makeronia e tu ana, e tohe ana ki a ia, e mea ana, Whiti mai ki Makeronia, awhinatia matou.

10 W hen he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

A, no ka kitea te kitenga, ka mea tonu matou kia haere ki Makeronia, i whakaaro hoki, na te Atua matou i karanga ki te kauwhau i te rongopai ki a ratou.

11 S o putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;

Heoi, ko te rerenga atu i Toroa, ka tika tonu matou ki Hamotarakia, a ao ake te ra ki Neapori;

12 a nd from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

I reira atu ki Piripai, ko te pa nui ia o taua wahi o Makeronia, he koroni no Roma: a noho ana matou i taua pa a taka noa etahi ra.

13 A nd on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. First Convert in Europe

Na i te ra hapati ka haere matou ki waho o te pa, ki te taha o tetahi awa, he whakaaro ko te wahi tera hei karakiatanga; a ka noho, ka korero ki nga wahine i haere tahi ake.

14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

Na ka whakarongo tetahi wahine, ko Riria te ingoa, he kaihoko papura, no te pa o Taiataira, he wahine karakia ki te Atua: he mea whakapuare tona ngakau e te Ariki, i rongo ai ia ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora.

15 A nd when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.

A, no ka oti ia te iriiri, ratou ko tona whare, ka tohe ia, ka mea, Ki te mea kua whakaaro koutou he pono taku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai koutou, e noho ki toku whare. Na ka tohea matou e ia.

16 I t happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

Na, i a matou e haere ana ki te wahi inoi, ka tutaki ki a matou tetahi kotiro, he wairua matakite nei tona, he nui te utu i riro i a ia ma ona rangatira, i a ia e poropiti ana:

17 F ollowing after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.”

Ka whai ia i a matou ko Paora, ka karanga, ka mea, he pononga enei tangata na te Atua, na te Runga Rawa, e whakapuakina ana e ratou te ara o te ora ki a koutou.

18 S he continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment.

Na he maha nga ra i mea ai ia i tenei. Otiia ka hoha a Paora, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te wairua, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, puta mai i roto i a ia, A puta mai ana i taua haora ano.

19 B ut when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the authorities,

Otira, no te kitenga o ona rangatira kua kore he mahinga moni ma ratou, ka mau ki a Paora raua ko Hira, ka toia ki te kainga hoki ki nga rangatira;

20 a nd when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

A, ka oti raua te mau ki nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea, Ko enei tangata, he Hurai nei, e tino whakararuraru ana i to tatou pa,

21 a nd are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.” Paul and Silas Imprisoned

E whakapuakina ana hoki e raua he ritenga e kore nei e tika kia whakaaetia, kia mahia e tatou, e nga tangata o Roma.

22 T he crowd rose up together against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods.

Na ko te whakatikanga o te mano ki a raua; ka huhua o raua kakahu e nga kaiwhakawa, ka mea kia whiua ki te rakau.

23 W hen they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely;

A, ka maha o raua whiunga e ratou, ka maka raua ki te whare herehere, ka tohutohutia te kaitiaki herehere, kia mau tana pupuri i a raua.

24 a nd he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

No te rironga i a ia o taua kupu, ka maka raua e ia ki te whare herehere i roto rawa, ka whakauria o raua waewae ki te rakau.

25 B ut about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

Na i waenganui po ka inoi a Paora raua ko Hira, ka waiata atu ki te Atua, me te whakarongo ano nga herehere ki a raua;

26 a nd suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.

Na ka pa whakarere he ru nui, i ngarue ai nga turanga o te whare herehere: a puare tonu atu nga tatau katoa, whakakorokoroa ana nga herenga o nga tangata katoa.

27 W hen the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

A, ka oho te kaitiaki herehere i te moe, ka kite i nga tatau o te whare herehere e puare ana, na ka unu i tana hoari, ka mea ki te patu i a ia ano, hua noa kua oma nga herehere.

28 B ut Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”

Na kanui te reo o Paora ki te karanga, ka mea, Kauaka tetahi mea kino e meatia ki a koe: ina tonu hoki matou katoa.

29 A nd he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,

A karangatia ana e ia he rama, ka rere ki roto, ka haere wiri, ka takoto ki te aroaro o Paora raua ko Hira,

30 a nd after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” The Jailer Converted

Ka arahina hoki raua ki waho, ka mea, E hoa ma, me aha ka ora ai ahau?

31 T hey said, “ Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Ka mea raua, Me whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti, ka ora ai koe, koutou tahi ko tou whare.

32 A nd they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.

Na ka korerotia te kupu a te Ariki ki a ia, ki nga tangata katoa hoki i roto i tona whare.

33 A nd he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

A ka mauria raua e ia i taua haora o te po, ka horoia o raua whiunga; na iriiria tonutia iho, a ia me ana tangata katoa.

34 A nd he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with his whole household.

A ka arahina raua e ia ki tona whare, ka whakaturia he tepu kai ki mua i a raua, a nui atu tona hari, me tona whare katoa, i te mea kua whakapono nei ki te Atua.

35 N ow when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, “Release those men.”

I te aonga ake ia o te ra, ka tonoa nga katipa e nga kaiwhakawa, i mea, Tukua aua tangata kia haere.

36 A nd the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace.”

Na ka korerotia e te kaitiaki herehere enei kupu ki a Paora, ka mea, Kua tono tangata mai nga kaiwhakawa, kia tukua korua: tena ra puta mai, haere i runga i te rangimarie.

37 B ut Paul said to them, “They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out.”

Na ko te kinga atu a Paora, Kua whiua nuitia nei maua e ratou, ahakoa kahore i whakawakia, he tangata hoki no Roma, a kua maka maua ki te whare herehere; a kei te maka pukutia atu maua aianei e ratou? Kahore rapea: engari ma ratou tonu e haere m ai, e whakaputa i a maua ki waho.

38 T he policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

na ka korerotia enei kupu e nga katipa ki nga kaiwhakawa: a ka wehi, i to ratou rongonga no Roma raua;

39 a nd they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.

Na ka haere mai ratou, ka tohe ki a raua; a, ka oti raua te arahi ki waho, ka mea ratou kia haere atu raua i te pa.

40 T hey went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.

A ka puta atu raua i te whare herehere, ka tomo ki te whare o Riria: a, no ka kite raua i nga teina, ka whakamarie i a ratou, ka haere.
