Acts 11

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

And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

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

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

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

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

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

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

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:

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

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.

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

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

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

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

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

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.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

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

And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

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.

And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.

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:

And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

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:

And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

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

Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

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.

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

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.

Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

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?

Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

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.

When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

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.

Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

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.

And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

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

And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

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:

Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

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.

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto 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.

For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

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

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

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.

And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

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

And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

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.

And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.

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:

Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:

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

Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
