Acts 11-12
Maori Bible
11 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.
12 Na i taua wa ka totoro atu nga ringa o Kingi Herora ki te tukino i etahi o te hahi.
2 A whakamatea ana e ia ki te hoari a Hemi, te tuakana o Hoani.
3 A, no tona kitenga e pai ana ki nga Hurai, ka anga ia ki te hopu hoki i a Pita. Na ko nga ra ena o te taro rewenakore.
4 A, no ka mau ia, ka maka ki te whare herehere, ka tukua ki nga hoia kotahi tekau ma ono kia tiakina; ko te whakaaro mo muri iho i te kapenga ka whakaputa mai ai i a ia ki te iwi.
5 Na ka puritia a Pita ki roto ki te whare herehere: otiia kihai i mutumutu te inoi a te hahi ki te Atua mona.
6 A, no ka tata a Herora te whakaputa mai i a ia, i taua po ano e moe ana a Pita i waenganui o nga hoia tokorua, he mea here ki nga mekameka e rua: me nga kaitiaki i mua i te tatau e tiaki ana i te whare herehere.
7 Na, tu ana tetahi anahera na te Ariki i tona taha, a tiaho ana te marama i roto i te ruma: na ka papaki ia i te kaokao o Pita, ka whakaara i a ia, ka mea, E ara, hohoro. A marere iho ona mekameka i ona ringa.
8 Ka mea atu ano te anahera ki a ia, Whitiki i a koe, ka here i ou parekereke. A meinga ana e ia. Ka mea ano ki a ia, Kakahuria tou kakahu, haere mai i muri i ahau.
9 Na ka haere ia ki waho, ka aru i a ia; a kihai ia i mahara he pono ta te anahera i mea ai; hua noa he rekanga kanohi tana i kite ai.
10 A, no ka mahue i a raua te tuatahi, te tuarua o nga kaitiaki, ka tae raua ki te tatau rino i te putanga atu ki te pa; tuwhera noa ana tera ki a raua: puta ana raua ki waho, haere ana, puta rawa i tetahi ara, mawehe tonu atu te anahera i a ia.
11 A, i te hokinga ake o nga whakaaro o Pita, ka mea ia, Katahi ahau ka tino mohio, kua tono mai te Ariki i tana anahera, hei tango i ahau i roto i te ringa o Herora, i nga mea katoa hoki e taria nei e te iwi o nga Hurai.
12 A, no ka whakaaroaro ia ki taua mea, ka haere ia ki te whare o Meri whaea o Hoani, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Maka; he tokomaha hoki kua huihui ki reira ki te inoi.
13 A, no te patototanga a Pita i te tatau o te whatitoka, ka tae mai he kotiro ki te whakarongo, ko Rora te ingoa.
14 A, no ka mohio ia ki te reo o Pita, kihai i uakina te tatau i te hari, heoi oma ana ki roto, ki te korero kei te tatau a Pita e tu ana.
15 Na ka mea ratou ki a ia, E haurangi ana koe. Heoi ka tohe tonu ia he pono. Na ka mea ratou, Ko tona anahera.
16 Me te patuki tonu ano tera a Pita: a, i ta ratou uakanga, ka kite i a ia, ka miharo.
17 Na ka pepehi atu tona ringa i a ratou kia kaua e kuihi, ka korerotia ki a ratou tona whakaputanga mai e te Ariki i te whare herehere. Ka mea, Korerotia enei mea ki a Hemi ratou ko nga teina. Na ka puta ia ki waho, haere ana he wahi ke.
18 Na i te aonga ake ano o te ra, kihai i iti te pororaru o nga hoia, i ahatia ranei a Pita.
19 Na ka rapu a Herora i a ia, a, no te korenga i kitea, ka whakawa i nga kaitiaki, ka whakahau kia whakamatea. Na haere atu ana ia i Huria ki raro ki Hiharia noho ai.
20 Na tino nui te riri o Herora ki te hunga o Taira, o Hairona: otira ka huihui mai ratou ki a ia, a, ka oti a Parahitu, te kaitiaki o te whare moenga o te kingi, te whakakiki e ratou, ka tono ratou kia houhia te rongo, no te mea ko nga kai i whang aia ai to ratou whenua no te whenua o te kingi.
21 A i tetahi ra i whakaritea ka kakahu a Herora i te kakahu kingi, ka noho ki runga ki te torona, a whakatu ana ki a ratou.
22 Na ko te karangatanga a te huihui, He reo atua, ehara i to te tangata.
23 I reira pu ano ka patua ia e tetahi anahera a te Ariki, no te mea kihai i hoatu e ia te kororia ki te Atua: a kainga ana ia e te kutukutu, hemo ake.
24 Ko te kupu ia a te Atua i tupu, i nui haere.
25 A ka hoki a Panapa raua ko Haora i Hiruharama, i te otinga o ta raua mahi, ka mauria a Hoani, ko te rua nei o ona ingoa ko Maka.

New International Version
Acts 11-12
New International Version
Peter Explains His Actions
11 The apostles and the believers(A) throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.(B) 2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers(C) criticized him 3 and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”(D)
4 Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: 5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(E) I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6 I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. 7 Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’
8 “I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
9 “The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’(F) 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea(G) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(H) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(I) These six brothers(J) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(K) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(L) through which you and all your household(M) will be saved.’
15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(N) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(O) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(P) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(Q) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(R) he gave us(S) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”
18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(T)
The Church in Antioch
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed(U) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,(V) spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus(W) and Cyrene,(X) went to Antioch(Y) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news(Z) about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them,(AA) and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.(AB)
22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(AC) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(AD) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(AE) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(AF) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(AG)
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(AH) 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(AI) were called Christians first(AJ) at Antioch.
27 During this time some prophets(AK) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(AL) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(AM) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(AN) 29 The disciples,(AO) as each one was able, decided to provide help(AP) for the brothers and sisters(AQ) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(AR) by Barnabas(AS) and Saul.(AT)
Peter’s Miraculous Escape From Prison
12 It was about this time that King Herod(AU) arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2 He had James, the brother of John,(AV) put to death with the sword.(AW) 3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews,(AX) he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(AY) 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.(AZ)
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.(BA)
6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains,(BB) and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 7 Suddenly an angel(BC) of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.(BD)
8 Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.(BE) 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself,(BF) and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
11 Then Peter came to himself(BG) and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me(BH) from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”
12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark,(BI) where many people had gathered and were praying.(BJ) 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.(BK) 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed(BL) she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”
15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”(BM)
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 Peter motioned with his hand(BN) for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James(BO) and the other brothers and sisters(BP) about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.
18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.(BQ)
Herod’s Death
Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea(BR) and stayed there. 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon;(BS) they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply.(BT)
21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel(BU) of the Lord struck him down,(BV) and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 But the word of God(BW) continued to spread and flourish.(BX)
Barnabas and Saul Sent Off
25 When Barnabas(BY) and Saul had finished their mission,(BZ) they returned from[c] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.(CA)
