1 T hen he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was 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 H e was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.

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

3 P aul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was 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 A nd as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

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 strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily. The Macedonian Call

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

6 N ow when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach 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 fter they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit 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 S o passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

Na kapea ana Maihia, ka haere ki Toroa.

9 A nd a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, 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 N ow after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. Lydia Baptized at Philippi

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 T herefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came 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 the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that 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 out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

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 N ow a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed 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 were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” So she persuaded us. Paul and Silas Imprisoned

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 N ow it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought 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 T his girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us 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 A nd this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

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 marketplace to 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 they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city;

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 they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.”

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 hen the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded 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 A nd when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep 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 H aving received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. The Philippian Jailer Saved

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 at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns 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 S uddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

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 A nd the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

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 called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, 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 T hen he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling 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 he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

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

31 S o they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, 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 T hen they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to 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 the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

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 N ow when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household. Paul Refuses to Depart Secretly

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 A nd when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, “Let those men go.”

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

36 S o the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, 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 openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get 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 A nd the officers told these words to the magistrates, and 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 T hen they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from 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 S o they went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen 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.
