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.

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(F) to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples(G) were called Christians first(H) at Antioch.

27 During this time some prophets(I) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(J) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(K) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(L) 29 The disciples,(M) as each one was able, decided to provide help(N) for the brothers and sisters(O) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(P) by Barnabas(Q) and Saul.(R)
