¹But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

¹¶ Na ko tetahi tangata ko Anania tona ingoa, raua ko tana wahine, ko Hapaira, i hoko atu i tetahi whenua;

²And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

²A puritia ana e ia tetahi wahi o te utu, ko tana wahine hoki i mohio ki taua mea huna, mauria ana tetahi wahi, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.

³But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

³Na ko te meatanga atu a Pita, E Anania, na te aha i whakakiia ai tou ngakau e Hatana kia teka koe ki te Wairua Tapu, kia puritia atu ai tetahi wahi o te utu o te whenua?

⁴Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

⁴I te mea kahore ano i riro, he teka ianei nau ake tau mea? a ka oti te hoko tikanga? na te aha tenei mea i whakaaroa ai i roto i tou ngakau? kihai hoki koe i teka ki te tangata, engari ki te Atua.

⁵And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

⁵A, no te rongonga o Anania i enei kupu, hinga ana ki raro, mate rawa: he nui ano te wehi i tau ki te hunga katoa i rongo i enei mea.

⁶And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.

⁶Na ka whakatika nga taitamariki, takai ana i a ia, a maua atu ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana.

⁷And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁷A, patata ki te toru haora i muri, ka tomo mai tana wahine, kihai hoki i mohio he aha te mea kua meatia.

⁸And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁸Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ia, Korero mai ki ahau, ko te utu ranei tera i hokona atu ai e korua te whenua? ka mea ia, Ae, koia tena.

⁹Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.

⁹Ka mea a Pita ki a ia, he aha korua i whakaaro tahi ai ki te whakamatautau i te Wairua o te Ariki? Nana, kei te kuwaha nga waewae o te hunga i tanumia ai tau tane, ma ratou koe e kawe ki waho.

¹⁰Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

¹⁰Na hinga tonu iho ia ki ona waewae, hemo rawa: a, ko te tomonga mai o nga taitamariki, rokohanga mai kua mate, na kawea ana ia ki waho, tanumia ana ki te taha o tana tane.

¹¹And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

¹¹A nui atu te wehi o te hahi katoa, o te hunga katoa ano i rangona ai enei mea.

¹²And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

¹²¶ A na nga ringa o nga apotoro i mahi nga tohu maha, me nga mea whakamiharo, i roto i te iwi; i noho hoki ratou katoa ki te whakamahau o Horomona, kotahi ano te whakaaro.

¹³And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

¹³Tena ko era atu tangata kihai rawa tetahi i maia ki te whakauru mai ki a ratou: otira whakanuia ana ratou e te iwi.

¹⁴And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)

¹⁴A he nui noa atu te hunga whakapono i honoa mai ki te Ariki, tona tino te tane, o te wahine.

¹⁵Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

¹⁵Na reira hoki ka mauria e ratou nga turoro ki nga ara, whakatakotoria ana ki runga i nga moenga, i nga whariki, me kore noa e taumarumaru iho ki tetahi o ratou te atarangi o Pita, i a ia e haere ana.

¹⁶There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

¹⁶I hui katoa mai ano te mano i nga pa katoa e patata ana ki Hiruharama, me te mau mai i nga turoro, i te hunga e whakaporeareatia ana e nga wairua poke; a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa.

¹⁷Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

¹⁷¶ Me i reira ka whakatika te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa katoa, ara te wehenga ki nga Haruki, ki tonu hoki ratou i te hae,

¹⁸And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

¹⁸A ka pa o ratou ringa ki nga apotoro, maka ana ratou ki te whare herehere nui.

¹⁹But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,

¹⁹Otira na tetahi anahera a te Ariki i uaki nga tatau o te whare herehere i te po; arahina mai ana ratou e ia ki waho, ka mea,

²⁰Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

²⁰Haere, e tu i roto i te temepara, ka korero ki te iwi i nga kupu katoa o tenei ora.

²¹And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

²¹A ka rongo ratou i tenei, ka tomo ki te temepara i te atatu, ka whakaako. Na ko te haerenga o te tohunga nui ratou ko ona hoa, karangatia ana kia huihui te runanga me nga kaumatua katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, a tonoa ana he tangata ki te whare h erehere hei tiki i a ratou.

²²But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,

²²Otira, ko nga katipa i tae mai, kihai i kite i a ratou i roto i te whare herehere, na ka hoki mai, ka korero.

²³Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

²³Ka mea, Rokohina atu e matou e tutaki tonu ana te whare herehere u tonu, me nga kaitiaki e tu ana i waho o nga tatau; no te huakanga atu, kahore he tangata i kitea e matou i roto.

²⁴Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

²⁴A, no ka rongo te rangatira o te temepara ratou ko nga tohunga nui ki enei kupu, ka pororaru ratou, he aha ra te tukunga iho o taua mea.

²⁵Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

²⁵Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Nana, ko te hunga i maka ra e koutou ki te whare herehere, e tu mai nei i te temepara, e whakaako ana i te iwi.

²⁶Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

²⁶¶ Katahi ka haere te rangatira ratou ko nga katipa, a arahina mai ana ratou, otira kihai i taka kinotia; i wehi hoki ratou i te iwi, kei akina ratou ki te kohatu.

²⁷And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

²⁷A, ka oti ratou te arahi mai, ka whakaturia ki mua i te runanga: na ka ui te tohunga nui ki a ratou,

²⁸Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

²⁸Ka mea, Kihai ianei matou i ata whakatupato i a koutou kia kaua e whakaako i runga i tenei ingoa? na, kua ki nei Hiruharama i ta koutou whakaakoranga, a e mea ana koutou kia whakairia nga toto o tenei tangata ki runga i a matou.

²⁹Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

²⁹Na ka whakahoki a Pita ratou ko nga apotoro, ka mea, Me whakarongo ra matou ki te Atua, kaua ki te tangata.

³⁰The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

³⁰Na te Atua o o tatou tupuna i whakaara ake a Ihu, i whakamatea na e koutou, he mea whakairi ki te rakau.

³¹Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³¹Kua oti ia te whakanoho e te ringa matau o te Atua ki runga, hei Piriniha, hei Kaiwhakaora, hei homai i te ripeneta, i te murunga hara ki a Iharaira.

³²And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³²Ko matou ano nga kaiwhakaatu i enei mea: ko te Wairua Tapu hoki, i homai nei e te Atua ki te hunga e rongo ana ki a ia.

³³When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

³³Otira, i to ratou rongonga i tenei, tu tonu ki o ratou ngakau, a ka whakaaro kia whakamatea ratou.

³⁴Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

³⁴Na ka whakatika tetahi o nga Parihi i roto i te runanga, ko Kamariera te ingoa, he kaiwhakaako i te ture, he tangata e whakanuia ana e te iwi katoa, ka mea, kia nekehia atu aua tangata ki waho mo tetahi wa poto nei.

³⁵And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

³⁵Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E nga tangata o Iharaira, kia tupato ki ta koutou e mea ai ki enei tangata.

³⁶For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

³⁶I nga ra ki muri ka whakatika ake a Teura, me te whakaari i a ia, ko ia he tangata nui: piri atu ana ki a ia etahi tangata, patata ki te wha rau: na patua iho ia; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana, a kore ake.

³⁷After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

³⁷A muri iho i taua tangata ka whakatika ake ko Hura o Kariri i nga ra o te tatauranga, a kumea atu ana e ia etahi o te iwi ki te whai i a ia; i ngaro ano hoki tena; a ko te hunga katoa i whakarongo ki a ia, whakamararatia atu ana.

³⁸And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

³⁸Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kati te mea ki enei tangata, waiho noa iho ratou; ki te mea hoki na te tangata tenei whakaaro, tenei mahi, tera e whakakahoretia.

³⁹But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

³⁹Otira mehemea na te Atua, e kore rawa e taea e koutou te whakakahore; kei tupono hoki e whawhai ke ana koutou ki te Atua.

⁴⁰And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

⁴⁰A whakaae ana ratou ki a ia: na ka karangatia nga apotoro ki a ratou, ka whiua, ka whakatupatoria kia kaua rawa e korero i runga i te ingoa o Ihu, a tukua ana ratou kia haere.

⁴¹And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

⁴¹Heoi haere hari atu ana ratou i te aroaro o te runanga, mo ratou kua meinga e pai ana kia whakataurekarekatia mo te Ingoa.

⁴²And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

⁴²A, i nga ra katoa, i roto i te temepara, i nga kainga ranei, kahore e mutu ana ta ratou whakaako, ta ratou kauwhau i a Ihu, ko te Karaiti ia.
