Ngā Mahi 14 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

I Ikoniuma

1Ā, i Ikoniuma ka haere tahi rāua ki roto ki te whare karakia o ngā Hūrai, ā, ka kōrero, nō ka whakapono tōna tini o ngā Hūrai, o ngā Kariki.

2Nā ngā Hūrai whakateka ia i whakaoho, i whakakino ngā ngākau o ngā tauiwi ki ngā tēina.

3Nā, he nui te wā i noho ai rāua i reira, i māia ai te kōrero i ngā mea a te Ariki, nāna i whakaae te kupu o tōna aroha noa, me te hōmai anō e ia ngā tohu me ngā mea whakamīharo kia meatia e ō rāua ringa.

4Otiia, i wehewehea ngā tāngata o te pā; ko ētahi i ū ki ngā Hūrai, ko ētahi ki ngā āpōtoro.

5Ā, i ngā tauiwi rātou ko ngā Hūrai, ko ō rātou rangatira hoki e huaki ana ki te whakatupu kino, ki te āki i a rāua ki te kōhatu.

6Ka tūpato rāua, ā, rere ana ki Raihitara, ki Rerepe, ki ngā pā o Raikaonia, ki pahaki tata atu anō hoki.

7Ā, kauwhautia ana e rāua te rongopai ki reira.

I Raihitara me Rerepe

8I Raihitara hoki e noho ana tētahi tangata waewae ngoikore, he kopa nō te kōpū mai o tōna whaea, kāhore i haere i mua iho.

9I rongo tēnei i a Pāora e kōrero ana; ko te tirohanga putanga atu o tērā ki a ia, ka kite he whakapono tōna e ora ai,

10he nui noa atu tōna reo ki te karanga atu, “E tū ōu waewae ki runga.” Nā, mokowhiti ake ana ia, haere ana.

11Nō te kitenga o ngā tāngata i tā Pāora i mea ai, ka ara tō rātou reo, ka mea i te reo o Raikaonia, “Kua heke iho ngā atua ki a tātou, nō ngā tāngata te āhua!”

12Ā, huaina ana e rātou a Pānapa ko Hupita, a Pāora ko Merekurai, nō te mea ko ia te pū kōrero.

13Nā, ka kawea mai e te tohunga o Hupita, i te ngutu nei o te pā tōna temepara, he pūru, he tūpare ki ngā kūwaha, ka mea kia patua he whakahere e rātou ko ngā mano.

14Otirā, i te rongonga o ngā āpōtoro, o Pānapa rāua ko Pāora, ka haehae i ō rāua kākahu, ā, rere ana ki roto ki ngā tāngata, ka karanga atu,

15ka mea, “E mara mā, he aha koutou ka mea ai i ēnei mea? He tāngata anō māua, he rite tahi ki a koutou te tū, e kauwhau ana hoki i te rongopai, kia tahuri kē koutou i ēnei mea tekateka noa ki te Atua ora, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana me ō reira mea katoa.

16I ngā whakatupuranga hoki kua pahemo atu, i tukua e ia ngā iwi katoa kia haere i ō rātou ake ara.

17Otiia, kīhai i tukua e ia kia kāhore he kaiwhakaatu mōna; i atawhai hoki ia, i hōmai anō e ia ki a koutou te ua o te rangi, me ngā pō hua, i mākona ai ō koutou ngākau i te kai, i te koa.”

18Ā, ka kōrerotia ēnei kupu, nā, mutu whakauaua i a rāua te mea a ngā tāngata ki te patu whakahere mā rāua.

19Otirā, ka haere mai ētahi Hūrai i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma; ā, ka whakakīkī rātou i ngā mano, ā, ākina ana a Pāora ki te kōhatu, tōia ana ki waho o te pā, hua noa kua mate.

20Otiia, i ngā ākonga e tū ana i tōna taha, ka whakatika ia, haere ana ki roto ki te pā. Ā, i te aonga ake ka haere rāua ko Pānapa ki Rerepe.

Te Hokinga ki Anitioka i Hīria

21Ā, nō ka kauwhau rāua i te rongopai ki taua pā, ā, he tokomaha ka meinga hei ākonga, ka hoki rāua ki Raihitara, ki Ikoniuma, ki Anatioka;

22whakaū ana i ngā wairua o ngā ākonga, whakahau ana i a rātou kia mau tonu ki te whakapono, kua takoto hoki te tikanga, me nā runga i ngā matenga maha he ara atu mō tātou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

23Ā, nō ka whakaritea e rāua he kaumātua mō rātou i tēnei hāhi, i tēnei hāhi, me te īnoi anō rāua me te nohopuku, ka tukua atu rātou e rāua ki te Ariki, i whakapono nei rātou.

24Nā, ka haere rāua nā waenganui o Pihiria, tae tonu atu ki Pamapuria.

25Ā, ka oti te kauwhau e rāua te kupu ki Pereka, ka haere rāua ki raro ki Ataria.

26Ā, rere atu ana i reira ki Anatioka, ki te wāhi i tukua ai rāua ki te aroha noa o te Atua, mō te mahi ka oti nei i a rāua.

27Nā, ka tae rāua ka huihuia te hāhi, ka kōrerotia ngā mea i mahi tahi ai te Atua me rāua ko tāna uakanga hoki i te tatau o te whakapono ki ngā tauiwi.

28Ā, kīhai i iti te wā i noho ai rāua i reira ki ngā ākonga.
