1 A nd the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,

A ka rongo nga apotoro me nga tuakana i Huria, kua tango hoki nga Tauiwi te kupu a te Atua.

2 a nd when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,

A, no te taenga ake o Pita ki Hiruharama, ka whakawakia ia e te hunga o te kotinga,

3 s aying -- `Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'

I mea ratou, I haere koe ki roto ki nga tangata kihai i kotia, i kai tahi me ratou.

4 A nd Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,

Na ka timata a Pita, ka korero whakatepe atu ki a ratou, ka mea,

5 ` I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;

I te pa ahau, i Hopa, e inoi ana; a ka kite moemoea ahau i tetahi whakakitenga, ko tetahi mea e heke iho ana, ano he kakahu nui, he mea tuku iho i te rangi ma nga pito e wha; a tae tonu mai ki ahau:

6 a t which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;

No te whakamaunga atu o oku kanohi ki taua mea, ka whakaaro ahau, a ka kite i nga karerehe waewae wha o te whenua, i nga kararehe mohoao me nga mea ngokingoki me nga manu o te rangi.

7 a nd I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

A ka rongo hoki ahau he reo e mea mai ana ki ahau, E ara, e Pita; patua, kainga.

8 a nd I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;

Otira ka ki atu ahau, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano hoki tetahi mea noa, poke ranei, i tapoko noa ki toku mangai.

9 a nd a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common.

Na ka whakahoki tuarua mai he reo no te rangi, Ko a te Atua i mea ai kia ma, kaua e meinga e koe kia noa.

10 ` And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,

E toru nga meatanga o tenei: ka hutia katoatia atu ano ki te rangi.

11 a nd, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Cesarea unto me,

Na i taua wa ano kua tu nga tangata tokotoru ki mua i te whare i noho ai ahau, he mea tono mai no Hiharia ki ahau.

12 a nd the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,

Na ka mea te Wairua ki ahau kia haere tahi matou, kia kaua ahau e ruarua. I haere tahi ano i ahau enei teina tokoono, a tomo ana matou ki te whare o taua tangata:

13 h e declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

Na ka korerotia mai e ia ki a matou tona kitenga i te anahera i tona whare e tu ana, e mea ana ki a ia, Tonoa etahi tangata ki Hopa, tikina a Haimona, te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Pita:

14 w ho shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

Mana e korero ki a koe etahi kupu, e ora ai koutou ko tou whare katoa.

15 ` And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,

A, noku ka timata ki te korero, ka tau iho te Wairua Tapu ki a ratou, ka pera ano me ia ki a tatou i te timatanga.

16 a nd I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;

Katahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tana i mea ai, i iriiri ra a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu.

17 i f then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?'

Na, mehemea rite tonu ta te Atua mea i hoatu ai ki a ratou ki tana i homai ai hoki ki a tatou, i a tatou i whakapono ai ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu Karaiti; ko wai ahau, kia ahei te tu atu ki te Atua?

18 A nd they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'

A, no ka rongo ratou ki enei mea, mutu pu ta ratou korero, heoi ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Koia ano, kua homai hoki e te Atua ki nga Tauiwi te ripeneta e ora ai.

19 T hose, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;

Na, ko te iwi i whakamararatia atu i runga i te tukinotanga i puta ake i to Tepene, haereere ana ratou a tae noa ki Pinikia, ki Kaiperu, ki Anatioka, me te kauwhau ano i te kupu ki nga Hurai anake, kahore ki etahi atu.

20 a nd there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news -- the Lord Jesus,

Otira ko etahi o ratou, he tangata no Kaiperu, no Hairini, i to ratou taenga ki Anatioka, ka korero ki nga Kariki hoki, ka kauwhau i te Ariki, i a Ihu.

21 a nd the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

Ko te ringa hoki o te Ariki i a ratou: a he tokomaha rawa i whakapono, i tahuri ki te Ariki.

22 A nd the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,

Na ka tae to ratou rongo ki nga taringa o te hahi i Hiruharama; a ka tonoa e ratou a Panapa kia haere ki Anatioka:

23 w ho, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,

No tona taenga atu, ka kite i te aroha noa o te Atua, ka hari, ka whakahau i a ratou katoa kia u te ngakau, kia piri ki te Ariki.

24 b ecause he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

He tangata pai hoki ia, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i te whakapono: he nui ano te hunga i honoa ki te Ariki.

25 A nd Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,

Me i reira ka haere atu a Panapa ki Tarahu, ki te rapu i a Haora:

26 a nd having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.

A, no ka kitea ia e ia, ka kawea mai ia e ia ki Anatioka. A kotahi tino tau i huihui tahi ai raua ki te hahi, a he nui te hunga i whakaakona. I matua huaina hoki nga akonga he Karaitiana ki Anatioka.

27 A nd in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,

Na i aua ra ka heke mai etahi poropiti i Hiruharama ki Anatioka.

28 a nd one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --

A ka tu ake tetahi o ratou, ko Akapu te ingoa, ka whakakite, he mea na te Wairua, tera ka pa he mate nui i te hiakai ki te whenua katoa: i puta ano tenei i nga ra o Karauria.

29 a nd the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,

Na ka whakatakoto tikanga nga akonga i runga i te mea e taea e tena, e tena, kia tukua atu he awhina mo nga tuakana e noho ana i Huria:

30 w hich also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Pera ana hoki ratou, tukua atu ana ki nga kaumatua ma te ringa o Panapa raua ko Haora.
