Acts 28

A ka ora matou, katahi ka mohio ko Merita te ingoa o te motu.

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

Na kihai i nohinohi te atawhai a nga tangata maori ki a matou: ka tahuna he kapura, whakamanuhiritia ana matou katoa, no te mea e ua ana te ua, no te matao hoki.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

Na ka kohikohia e Paora he pupu wahie, a maka ana e ia ki te kapura: heoi puta mai ana he neke i te wera, ka mau ki tona ringa.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

A, i te kitenga o nga tangata maori i te ngarara e werewere ana ki tona ringa, ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, Koia, he tangata kohuru tenei, ka ora nei ia i te moana, na kihai i tukua e te Tika kia ora.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

Otiia i ruia atu e ia te ngarara ki te kapura, a kihai ia i mate, kihai i aha.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Na whanga noa ratou kia tetere ia, kia hinga whakarere ranei, kia mate: heoi ka roa noa to ratou whanganga, a, i te kitenga kahore he aha i pa ki a ia, ka puta ke o ratou whakaaro, ka mea, he atua ia.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

I taua wahi te kainga o te tino rangatira o te motu, ko Pupiriu te ingoa: he manuhiri matou nana; e toru nga ra i atawhaitia ai matou e ia.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

Na i te takoto te papa o Pupiriu, e mate ana i te kirika, i te koripi: heoi ka tomo a Paora ki a ia, ka inoi, ka whakapa i ona ringa ki a ia, a ora ake ia.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

A, i te meatanga o tenei, na ka haere mai ano era atu o te motu he mate o ratou, a whakaorangia ana:

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Nui atu ano te honore i whakahonoretia ai matou e ratou; a i to matou rerenga ka utaina nga mea e rite ana ma matou.

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

A muri iho i nga marama e toru, ka rere matou i runga i tetahi kaipuke o Arehanaria, i tu nei ki taua motu i te hotoke, ko Katoro raua ko Poruku te tohu.

And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

Na ka u ki Hairakuha, a e toru o matou ra i noho ai ki reira.

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

Na ka awhio ake matou i reira, ka u ki Rekiuma: ka po tahi ka pa te tonga, a i te rua o nga ra ka u ki Puteori:

And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

A, no ka kitea nga tuakana i reira, ka tohea matou kia noho i a ratou, kia whitu nga ra: heoi haere ana matou ki Roma.

Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

A ka rongo nga tuakana o reira ki a matou, ka haere ake ki te whakatau i a matou ki Te Makete o Apiu, ki Wharetoru: a, i te kitenga o Paora i a ratou, ka whakawhetai ki te Atua, ka ora te ngakau.

And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

Na ka tae matou ki Roma, ka hoatu nga herehere e te keneturio ki te rangatira hoia: ko Paora ia i tukua kia noho motu ke raua ko tetahi hoia hei tiaki i a ia.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

A, i muri i nga ra e toru, ka huihuia e Paora nga tino tangata o nga Hurai: a, no to ratou minenga mai, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E oku tuakana, ko ahau kahore oku hara ki te iwi, ki nga ritenga ranei a nga matua, i tukua ai ahau i Hiruharama hei he rehere ki nga ringa o nga tangata o Roma:

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

A i mea ratou, i ta ratou whakawakanga i ahau kia tukua ahau, no te mea kahore he take e mate ai ahau.

Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

Heoi ka whakahe tonu nga Hurai; e taea hoki te aha? karanga ana ahau ki a Hiha; kahore ia aku mea e whakawa ai ahau i toku iwi.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Koia ahau i karanga ai i a koutou kia kite, kia korero ki ahau: no te mea hoki ko ta Iharaira e tumanako nei te mea i herea ai ahau ki tenei mekameka.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Na ko ta ratou meatanga ki a ia, kahore he pukapuka mou i tae mai ki a matou i Huria, kahore ano tetahi o nga tuakana i haere mai nei i kawe kupu mai, i korero mai ranei i tetahi kino mou.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

Otira e mea ana matou kia rongo ki a koe ki ou whakaaro: e mohio ana hoki matou ki tenei wehenga, e korerotia kinotia ana i nga wahi katoa.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

A, ka oti te whakarite he ra ki a ia, he tokomaha i haere mai ki a ia ki tona whare; a whakakitea ana e ia ki a ratou, whakaaturia ana te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a ka kukume i a ratou ki nga mea o Ihu, tiki atu ai i ta te ture a Mohi, i ta nga poropiti, no te ata a ahiahi noa.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Ko etahi i whakapono ki nga mea i korerotia, ko etahi kihai i whakapono.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

A, te rite a ratou korero, ka puta atu ratou, i muri i te korerotanga a Paora i tetahi kupu, Tika tonu te korero a te Wairua Tapu i a Ihaia poropiti ki o koutou matua,

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

I mea nei, Haere ki tenei iwi, mea atu, Rongo noa koutou, e kore e matau; titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite:

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

Kua matotoru hoki te ngakau o tenei iwi, he puhoi nga taringa ki te whakarongo, o ratou kanohi kua whakamoea e ratou; kei kite nga kanohi, kei rongo nga taringa, kei matau te ngakau, a ka tahuri ratou, ka ora i ahau.

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Na kia mohio koutou, ka tukua tenei whakaoranga a te Atua ki nga Tauiwi, a ka rongo ratou.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

A ka mutu enei korero ana, ka haere nga Hurai, he nui hoki ta ratou tautohetohe ki a ratou ano.

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

A e rua tino tau i noho ai a Paora ki tona whare i utua e ia, a manaakitia ana e ia te hunga katoa e tomo ana ki a ia;

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

A maia tonu ia ki te kauwhau i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te whakaako i nga mea o te Ariki, o Ihu karaiti, kihai ano i riria.

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
