1 A s they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

A, i a raua e korero ana ki te iwi, ka puta ohorere mai ki a raua nga tohunga, te rangatira o te temepara me nga Haruki,

2 b eing upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

He nui te pawera mo ta raua ako i te iwi, mo te kauwhau hoki i runga i a Ihu i te aranga mai i te hunga mate.

3 T hey laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

Na ka mau o ratou ringa ki a raua, meinga ana kia tiakina kia ao ra ano te ra, i te mea hoki kua ahiahi.

4 B ut many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

Otira he tokomaha o te hunga i rongo i te kupu i whakapono, a ko te tokomaha o nga tangata me te mea e rima mano.

5 I n the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

Na i te aonga ake ka huihui o ratou rangatira, nga kaumatua, me nga karaipi ki Hiruharama,

6 A nnas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

Ratou ko te tino tohunga, ko Anaha, ko Kaiapa, ko Hoani, ko Arehanara, me nga whanaunga katoa o te tohunga nui.

7 W hen they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

A, no ka whakaturia raua ki waenganui, ka ui ratou, Tena koa te mana, te ingoa ranei, i meatia ai tenei e korua?

8 T hen Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

Katahi a Pita, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ki a ratou, E nga rangatira o te iwi, e nga kaumatua, o Iharaira.

9 i f we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

Mehemea ki te uiuia maua aianei mo te mahi pai i mahia ki te tangata haua, i peheatia taua tangata i ora ai;

10 b e it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

Kia mohio koutou katoa, me te iwi katoa o Iharaira, na te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, i ripekatia na e koutou, i whakaarahia ra e te Atua i te hunga mate, nana tenei i tu ora ai i to koutou aroaro.

11 H e is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

Ko ia te kohatu i whakakahoretia na e koutou, e nga kaihanga, a kua meinga nei hei mo te kokonga.

12 T here is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

Kahore hoki he ora i tetahi atu: kahore hoki he ingoa ke atu i raro o te rangi kua homai ki nga tangata, e ora ai tatou.

13 N ow when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

Na ka kite ratou i te maia o Pita raua ko Hoani, a ka matau ki a raua ehara i te mea whakaako, engari he hunga kuware, ka miharo ratou; ka mohio hoki he hoa raua no Ihu.

14 S eeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

Ka kite hoki i te tangata i whakaorangia e tu tahi ana ratou, kahore rawa i taea tetahi kupu whakahe ma ratou.

15 B ut when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

Na ka tono ratou i a raua kia haere i waho o te runanga, a ka korerorero ki a ratou ano,

16 s aying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

Ka mea, Me aha e tatou enei tangata? ka kite katoa nei hoki te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, he merekara nui kua meinga nei, a e kore e ahei te whakakorekore e tatou.

17 B ut so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

Otiia, kia kaua ai e horapa atu ki roto ki te iwi, kia kaha ta tatou whakawehi i a raua, kei korero ki tetahi tangata a muri nei i runga i tenei ingoa.

18 T hey called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

A karangatia ana raua e ratou, ka mea ki a raua, Kia kaua rawa e korero, kia kaua e whakaako, i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.

19 B ut Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

Na ka whakahoki a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakaaroa e koutou, ka tika ranei ki te aroaro o te Atua ko koutou kia whakarangona, kaua te Atua?

20 f or we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

E kore hoki e ahei kia kaua e korerotia e maua nga mea i kite ai, i rongo ai matou.

21 W hen they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

Heoi whakawehi ana ano ratou i a raua, a tukua ana kia haere, kihai hoki i kitea he mea e whiua ai raua, i wehi i te iwi: i whakakororia katoa nei nga tangata i te Atua mo taua mea i meatia;

22 F or the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

No te mea kua neke atu i te wha tekau nga tau o te tangata i meinga nei ki a ia tenei merekara whakaora.

23 B eing let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

A ka oti raua te tuku, ka haere ki o raua hoa, a korerotia ana nga mea katoa i korero ai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua ki a raua.

24 W hen they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

A, i to ratou rongonga, ka karanga ake ratou ki te Atua, he kotahi te reo, ka mea, E te Ariki, nau nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana, me o reira mea katoa:

25 w ho by the mouth of your servant, David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

Nau te kupu i korerotia e te Wairua Tapu, na te mangai o to matou matua, o tau pononga, o Rawiri, He aha ka nana ai nga Tauiwi, ka whakaaro horihori ai nga iwi?

26 T he kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’

I whakatika ake nga kingi o te whenua, i huihui ngatahi nga rangatira, ki te whawhai ki te Ariki raua ko tana Karaiti.

27 “ For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

He pono nei hoki te huihuinga ki tenei pa o Herora, o Ponotia Pirato, o nga Tauiwi, ratou ko te iwi o Iharaira, ki tau Tama tapu, ki a Ihu i whakawahia nei e koe,

28 t o do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

Ki te mea i ta tou ringa, i ta tou whakaaro i whakatakoto ai i mua kia meatia.

29 N ow, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

Na, titiro iho, e te Ariki, aianei ki a ratou kupu whakawehi: tukua mai hoki ki au pononga kia tino maia te korero i tau kupu,

30 w hile you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

Ko koe ia e totoro mai ana tou ringa ki te whakaora; kia meatia hoki te tohu, he mea whakamiharo i runga i te ingoa o tau Pononga tapu, o Ihu.

31 W hen they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

I te mutunga o ta ratou inoi, ka ngaueue te wahi i mine ai ratou, a ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, na, maia noa atu ratou ki te korero i te kupu a te Atua.

32 T he multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

Kotahi ano ngakau, kotahi ano wairua o te mano o te hunga whakapono: kihai ano tetahi o ratou i mea, mana ake tetahi o ana taonga; heoi he mea huihui a ratou mea katoa.

33 W ith great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

A nui atu te kaha i whakapuakina ai e nga apotoro te aranga o te Ariki, o Ihu; he nui ano te aroha noa i runga i a ratou katoa.

34 F or neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

Kahore hoki tetahi o ratou i hapa: ko te hunga hoki he kainga, he whare o ratou, hokona atu ana e ratou, a mauria ana mai nga utu o nga mea i hokona,

35 a nd laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

Whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro: na ka tuwhaina ma ia tangata, ma ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki te mate o ia tangata.

36 J oses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

A ko Hohi i huaina e nga apotoro ko Panapa, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Tama a te whakamarietanga, he Riwaiti, ko Kaiperu tona kainga,

37 h aving a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

He wahi whenua tona, na hokona atu ana, mauria ana nga moni, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.
