1 Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.
2 And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,
3 Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.
4 But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,
5 I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
6 And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
7 And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
8 But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
9 But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
10 And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
11 And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
12 And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:
13 And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;
14 Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.
15 And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
16 And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.
17 If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?
18 And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.
19 Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
20 But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
21 And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.
22 And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:
23 Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
24 For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.
25 Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;
26 And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
27 Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.
29 And the disciples, everyone as he was able, made a decision to send help to the brothers living in Judaea:
30 Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
1 A ka rongo nga apotoro me nga tuakana i Huria, kua tango hoki nga Tauiwi te kupu a te Atua.
2 A, no te taenga ake o Pita ki Hiruharama, ka whakawakia ia e te hunga o te kotinga,
3 I mea ratou, I haere koe ki roto ki nga tangata kihai i kotia, i kai tahi me ratou.
4 Na ka timata a Pita, ka korero whakatepe atu ki a ratou, ka mea,
5 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:
6 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.
7 A ka rongo hoki ahau he reo e mea mai ana ki ahau, E ara, e Pita; patua, kainga.
8 Otira ka ki atu ahau, Kahore, e te Ariki; kiano hoki tetahi mea noa, poke ranei, i tapoko noa ki toku mangai.
9 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.
10 E toru nga meatanga o tenei: ka hutia katoatia atu ano ki te rangi.
11 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.
12 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:
13 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:
14 Mana e korero ki a koe etahi kupu, e ora ai koutou ko tou whare katoa.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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?
18 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.
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.
20 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.
21 Ko te ringa hoki o te Ariki i a ratou: a he tokomaha rawa i whakapono, i tahuri ki te Ariki.
22 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:
23 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.
24 He tangata pai hoki ia, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, i te whakapono: he nui ano te hunga i honoa ki te Ariki.
25 Me i reira ka haere atu a Panapa ki Tarahu, ki te rapu i a Haora:
26 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.
27 Na i aua ra ka heke mai etahi poropiti i Hiruharama ki Anatioka.
28 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.
29 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:
30 Pera ana hoki ratou, tukua atu ana ki nga kaumatua ma te ringa o Panapa raua ko Haora.
