42 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer. 43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common. 45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need. 46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.

42 A i u tonu ratou ki te whakaakoranga a nga apotoro, ki te kotahitanga, ki te whawhati taro, a ki te inoi.

43 Tau iho ana te wehi ki nga wairua katoa; he maha hoki nga mea whakamiharo me nga tohu i meinga e nga apotoro.

44 I noho tahi ano te hunga whakapono katoa, i huihuia ano hoki a ratou mea katoa;

45 I hokona atu hoki a ratou rawa me nga taonga, tuwhaina ana ma te katoa, rite tonu ki te mate o tenei, o tenei.

46 Haere tonu ana hoki ratou i tenei ra, i tenei ra ki te temepara, kotahi tonu ano te whakaaro; whawhati taro ana i o ratou kainga, kai ana i a ratou kai i runga i te koa, i te ngakau tapatahi;

47 E whakamoemiti ana ki te Atua, e paingia ana hoki e te iwi katoa. A honoa mai ana e te Ariki ki a ratou i tena ra, i tena ra, i tena ra, te hunga e whakaorangia ana.
