¹And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;

¹¶ A ka rongo nga apotoro me nga tuakana i Huria, kua tango hoki nga Tauiwi te kupu a te Atua.

²and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

²A, no te taenga ake o Pita ki Hiruharama, ka whakawakia ia e te hunga o te kotinga,

³saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.

³I mea ratou, I haere koe ki roto ki nga tangata kihai i kotia, i kai tahi me ratou.

⁴But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,

⁴Na ka timata a Pita, ka korero whakatepe atu ki a ratou, ka mea,

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

⁵I 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:

⁶on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

⁶No 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.

⁷And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

⁷A ka rongo hoki ahau he reo e mea mai ana ki ahau, E ara, e Pita; patua, kainga.

⁸And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

⁸Otira ka ki atu ahau, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano hoki tetahi mea noa, poke ranei, i tapoko noa ki toku mangai.

⁹And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

⁹Na 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.

¹⁰And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

¹⁰E toru nga meatanga o tenei: ka hutia katoatia atu ano ki te rangi.

¹¹and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

¹¹Na 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.

¹²And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

¹²Na 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:

¹³and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

¹³Na 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:

¹⁴who shall speak words to thee whereby *thou* shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁴Mana e korero ki a koe etahi kupu, e ora ai koutou ko tou whare katoa.

¹⁵And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

¹⁵A, 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.

¹⁶And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁶Katahi 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.

¹⁷If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God?

¹⁷Na, 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?

¹⁸And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

¹⁸A, 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.

¹⁹They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

¹⁹¶ 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.

²⁰But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

²⁰Otira 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.

²¹And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²¹Ko te ringa hoki o te Ariki i a ratou: a he tokomaha rawa i whakapono, i tahuri ki te Ariki.

²²And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

²²Na ka tae to ratou rongo ki nga taringa o te hahi i Hiruharama; a ka tonoa e ratou a Panapa kia haere ki Anatioka:

²³who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

²³No 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.

²⁴for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.

²⁴He tangata pai hoki ia, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i te whakapono: he nui ano te hunga i honoa ki te Ariki.

²⁵And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.

²⁵Me i reira ka haere atu a Panapa ki Tarahu, ki te rapu i a Haora:

²⁶And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁶A, 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.

²⁷Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;

²⁷¶ Na i aua ra ka heke mai etahi poropiti i Hiruharama ki Anatioka.

²⁸and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.

²⁸A 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.

²⁹And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];

²⁹Na 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:

³⁰which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰Pera ana hoki ratou, tukua atu ana ki nga kaumatua ma te ringa o Panapa raua ko Haora.
