Acts 21

And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

Heoi ka wehe matou i a ratou, ka rere, a tika tonu atu, tae noa ki Koha, a ao ake te ra kei Roro, i reira atu ki Patara.

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

Na ka rokohanga tetahi kaipuke e whakawhiti atu ana ki Pinika, a eke ana matou ki runga, rere ana.

Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

A ka kitea Kaiperu, ka mahue ake i te taha ki maui, ka rere atu matou ki Hiria, a ka u ki Taira: hei reira hoki te kaipuke ruke ai i tona utanga.

And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

A ka kitea nga akonga, e whitu nga ra i noho ai matou ki reira: ka korero hoki ratou ki a Paora, he mea na te Wairua, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.

And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

A ka rite aua ra o matou, ka puta atu matou, ka haere; me te kawe ano ratou katoa, me nga wahine, me nga tamariki, i a matou a waho ra ano o te pa: na ka tukua o matou turi ki te tahatai, ka inoi;

And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

Katahi ka poroporoaki matou tetahi ki tetahi; a eke ana matou ki te kaipuke; ko ratou ia i hoki ki o ratou kainga.

And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

A ka tutuki to matou rerenga atu i Taira, ka tae ki Toromai, na ka oha atu ki nga teina, a kotahi te ra i noho ai ki a ratou.

And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

I te aonga ake ka turia atu e matou, ka haere ki Hiharia: a tomo ana ki te whare o Piripi kaikauwhau, ko ia nei tetahi o nga tokowhitu; noho ana i a ia.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Na tokowha nga tamahine a taua tangata, he wahine, he poropiti.

And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.

A ka maha o matou ra i noho ai, ka haere mai tetahi poropiti i Huria, ko Akapu te ingoa.

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

A, no to ratou taenga mai ki a matou, ka mau ki te whitiki o Paora, herea iho e ia ona ake ringa me ona waewae, ka mea, Ko ta te Wairua Tapu korero tenei, E peneitia te here o te tangata nona tenei whitiki e nga Hurai i Hiruharama, e tukua atu a no ia ki nga ringa o nga Tauiwi.

And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

Heoi, i to matou rongonga i enei mea, ka tohe matou ko nga tangata o taua kainga, kia kaua ia e haere ki Hiruharama.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

Na ko te whakahokinga a Paora, he aha ta koutou e tangi, e whakangakaukore nei i ahau? ehara hoki i te mea ko te here anake taku e pai ai, engari ko te mate ano hoki ki Hiruharama, mo te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

A, no tona korenga i rongo, ka mutu ta matou, ka mea, Kia meatia ta te Ariki e pai ai.

And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

A ka pahemo enei ra, ka takai matou i a matou mea, a haere ana ki Hiruharama.

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

I haere tahi ano i a matou etahi o nga akonga o Hiharia, na ratou i mau ake a Nahona o Kaiperu, he akonga tawhito hei tukunga atu mo matou.

And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

A, i to matou taenga ki Hiruharama, ka koa nga teina ki a matou.

And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

I te aonga ake ka haere tahi matou ko Paora ki a Hemi: i reira ano nga kaumatua katoa.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Na ka oha ia ki a ratou, ka korerotia takitahitia nga mea i mea ai te Atua kia mahia e ia i roto i nga Tauiwi.

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

No to ratou rongonga, ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea ki a ia, Kua kite koe, e to matou teina, i nga mano tini o nga Hurai kua whakapono nei; e uaua katoa ana hoki ki te ture:

And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

Kua rongo ano hoki ratou ki a koe, e whakaako ana koe i nga Hurai katoa i roto i nga Tauiwi, kia whakarerea a Mohi, e mea ana kia kaua ratou e kokoti i nga tamariki, kia kaua ano e haere i runga i nga ritenga o mua.

What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

Na, me pehea? e kore hoki e kore ka rongo ratou ki tou taenga mai.

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

Na, me mea e koe tenei e korerotia nei e matou ki a koe: Tokowha o matou tangata, he kupu taurangi ta ratou;

Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

Tangohia enei, kia purea ngatahitia koutou, mau ano e utu a ratou mea, kia waruhia ai o ratou matenga: a ka kite ratou katoa he teka noa nga mea i korerotia mou: engari ko koe, he tika tau haere, kei te whakarite ano koe i te ture.

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

Tena ko nga Tauiwi kua whakapono, kua tuhituhi atu matou, kua whakatakoto tikanga atu, kia tupato ratou i nga mea e patua ana ma nga whakapakoko, i te toto, i te mea kua notia te kaki, i te moe tahae.

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Na ka mau a Paora ki aua tangata, a i te aonga ake ka pure tahi, ka haere tahi ratou ki roto ki te temepara, hei whakaatu ka whakaritea nga ra mo te purenga, kia whakaherea ra ano he whakahere mo tetahi, mo tetahi o ratou.

And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

Heoi ka tata nga ra e whitu te taka, ka kitea ia i roto i te temepara e etahi Hurai o Ahia: na ratou i whakaoho te mano katoa, a ka pa o ratou ringa ki a ia,

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

Ka karanga, E nga tangata o Iharaira, awhinatia mai: Ko te tangata tenei e whakaako nei i nga tangata katoa o nga wahi katoa ki nga mea whakahe mo te iwi, mo te ture, mo tenei kainga hoki: kua kawea mai ano e ia etahi Kariki ki roto ki te temepa ra, a ka noa nei i a ia tenei wahi tapu.

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

I kite hoki ratou i mua he hoa nona i roto i te pa, ko Toropimu o Epeha; tohu noa ratou, kua mauria mai ia e Paora ki roto ki te temepara.

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

Na ka oho te pa katoa, ka oma nga tangata: a ka mau ratou ki a Paora, toia ana ia ki waho o te temepara: tutakina tonutia atu nga tatau.

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Na i a ratou e whai ana kia patua ia, ka tae te rongo ki te rangatira mano o te hapu hoia, kua tutu te puehu i Hiruharama katoa.

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

Na hohoro tonu tana mau ki etahi hoia, ki etahi keneturio, a oma iho ana ki a ratou: a, no to ratou kitenga i te rangatira mano, i nga hoia hoki, ka mutu te patu i a Paora.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Na ka whakatata mai te rangatira mano, ka tango i a ia, ka mea kia herea ia ki nga mekameka e rua; a ka ui ko wai ia, i aha hoki ia.

And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

Na he karanga ano ta etahi, he karanga ke ta etahi, i roto i te mano: na kihai ia i mohio ki te tino tikanga, i te ngangau hoki, a whakahaua ana kia arahina ia ki te pa.

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

A, no tona taenga ki te pikitanga, ka hikitia ia e nga hoia i te taututetutenga hoki a te tangata;

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

I aru hoki te huihui o te iwi, me te karanga, Whakamatea ia.

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

A, no ka whano a Paora te kawea ki roto ki te pa, ka mea ia ki te rangatira mano, E pai ana ranei kia korero ahau i tetahi kupu ki a koe? Ka mea ia, E matau ana ranei koe ki te reo Kariki?

Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

Ehara oi koe i te Ihipiana, nana nei i whakatupu te tutu i mua ake ra, a mauria ana e ia nga tangata kohuru e wha mano ki te koraha?

But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

Ka mea a Paora, he Hurai ahau, no Tarahu o Kirikia, he tangata tupu no taua pa, ehara hoki i te pa ingoakore: na ko taku inoi tenei ki a koe, tukua ahau kia korero ki te iwi.

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Na tukua ana e ia, a tu ana a Paora ki te pikitanga, ka tawhiri tona ringa ki te iwi. Na mutu pu te turituri, ka korero ia, no nga Hiperu te reo, ka mea,
