Acts 4
Maori Bible

4  A, i a raua e korero ana ki te iwi, ka puta ohorere mai ki a raua nga tohunga, te rangatira o te temepara me nga Haruki,

2 He nui te pawera mo ta raua ako i te iwi, mo te kauwhau hoki i runga i a Ihu i te aranga mai i te hunga mate.

3 Na ka mau o ratou ringa ki a raua, meinga ana kia tiakina kia ao ra ano te ra, i te mea hoki kua ahiahi.

4 Otira he tokomaha o te hunga i rongo i te kupu i whakapono, a ko te tokomaha o nga tangata me te mea e rima mano.

5 Na i te aonga ake ka huihui o ratou rangatira, nga kaumatua, me nga karaipi ki Hiruharama,

6 Ratou ko te tino tohunga, ko Anaha, ko Kaiapa, ko Hoani, ko Arehanara, me nga whanaunga katoa o te tohunga nui.

7 A, no ka whakaturia raua ki waenganui, ka ui ratou, Tena koa te mana, te ingoa ranei, i meatia ai tenei e korua?

8 Katahi a Pita, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ki a ratou, E nga rangatira o te iwi, e nga kaumatua, o Iharaira.

9 Mehemea ki te uiuia maua aianei mo te mahi pai i mahia ki te tangata haua, i peheatia taua tangata i ora ai;

10 Kia mohio koutou katoa, me te iwi katoa o Iharaira, na te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, i ripekatia na e koutou, i whakaarahia ra e te Atua i te hunga mate, nana tenei i tu ora ai i to koutou aroaro.

11 Ko ia te kohatu i whakakahoretia na e koutou, e nga kaihanga, a kua meinga nei hei mo te kokonga.

12 Kahore hoki he ora i tetahi atu: kahore hoki he ingoa ke atu i raro o te rangi kua homai ki nga tangata, e ora ai tatou.

13 Na ka kite ratou i te maia o Pita raua ko Hoani, a ka matau ki a raua ehara i te mea whakaako, engari he hunga kuware, ka miharo ratou; ka mohio hoki he hoa raua no Ihu.

14 Ka kite hoki i te tangata i whakaorangia e tu tahi ana ratou, kahore rawa i taea tetahi kupu whakahe ma ratou.

15 Na ka tono ratou i a raua kia haere i waho o te runanga, a ka korerorero ki a ratou ano,

16 Ka mea, Me aha e tatou enei tangata? ka kite katoa nei hoki te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, he merekara nui kua meinga nei, a e kore e ahei te whakakorekore e tatou.

17 Otiia, kia kaua ai e horapa atu ki roto ki te iwi, kia kaha ta tatou whakawehi i a raua, kei korero ki tetahi tangata a muri nei i runga i tenei ingoa.

18 A karangatia ana raua e ratou, ka mea ki a raua, Kia kaua rawa e korero, kia kaua e whakaako, i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.

19 Na ka whakahoki a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakaaroa e koutou, ka tika ranei ki te aroaro o te Atua ko koutou kia whakarangona, kaua te Atua?

20 E kore hoki e ahei kia kaua e korerotia e maua nga mea i kite ai, i rongo ai matou.

21 Heoi whakawehi ana ano ratou i a raua, a tukua ana kia haere, kihai hoki i kitea he mea e whiua ai raua, i wehi i te iwi: i whakakororia katoa nei nga tangata i te Atua mo taua mea i meatia;

22 No te mea kua neke atu i te wha tekau nga tau o te tangata i meinga nei ki a ia tenei merekara whakaora.

23 A ka oti raua te tuku, ka haere ki o raua hoa, a korerotia ana nga mea katoa i korero ai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua ki a raua.

24 A, i to ratou rongonga, ka karanga ake ratou ki te Atua, he kotahi te reo, ka mea, E te Ariki, nau nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana, me o reira mea katoa:

25 Nau te kupu i korerotia e te Wairua Tapu, na te mangai o to matou matua, o tau pononga, o Rawiri, He aha ka nana ai nga Tauiwi, ka whakaaro horihori ai nga iwi?

26 I whakatika ake nga kingi o te whenua, i huihui ngatahi nga rangatira, ki te whawhai ki te Ariki raua ko tana Karaiti.

27 He pono nei hoki te huihuinga ki tenei pa o Herora, o Ponotia Pirato, o nga Tauiwi, ratou ko te iwi o Iharaira, ki tau Tama tapu, ki a Ihu i whakawahia nei e koe,

28 Ki te mea i ta tou ringa, i ta tou whakaaro i whakatakoto ai i mua kia meatia.

29 Na, titiro iho, e te Ariki, aianei ki a ratou kupu whakawehi: tukua mai hoki ki au pononga kia tino maia te korero i tau kupu,

30 Ko koe ia e totoro mai ana tou ringa ki te whakaora; kia meatia hoki te tohu, he mea whakamiharo i runga i te ingoa o tau Pononga tapu, o Ihu.

31 I te mutunga o ta ratou inoi, ka ngaueue te wahi i mine ai ratou, a ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, na, maia noa atu ratou ki te korero i te kupu a te Atua.

32 Kotahi ano ngakau, kotahi ano wairua o te mano o te hunga whakapono: kihai ano tetahi o ratou i mea, mana ake tetahi o ana taonga; heoi he mea huihui a ratou mea katoa.

33 A nui atu te kaha i whakapuakina ai e nga apotoro te aranga o te Ariki, o Ihu; he nui ano te aroha noa i runga i a ratou katoa.

34 Kahore hoki tetahi o ratou i hapa: ko te hunga hoki he kainga, he whare o ratou, hokona atu ana e ratou, a mauria ana mai nga utu o nga mea i hokona,

35 Whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro: na ka tuwhaina ma ia tangata, ma ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki te mate o ia tangata.

36 A ko Hohi i huaina e nga apotoro ko Panapa, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Tama a te whakamarietanga, he Riwaiti, ko Kaiperu tona kainga,

37 He wahi whenua tona, na hokona atu ana, mauria ana nga moni, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.

Acts 4
Legacy Standard Bible

Peter and John Arrested

4 Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests and (A)the captain of the temple guard and (B)the Sadducees (C)came up to them, 2 being greatly agitated because they were teaching the people and proclaiming [a](D)in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them and (E)put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 But many of those who had heard the [b]message believed, and (F)the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

5 Now it happened that on the next day, their (G)rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem; 6 and (H)Annas the high priest was there, and (I)Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent. 7 And when they had placed them in their midst, they began to inquire, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, [c](J)filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “[d](K)Rulers and elders of the people, 9 if we are [e]being examined today for (L)a good deed done to a sick man, [f]as to how this man has been [g]saved from his sickness, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that [h](M)by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom (N)God raised from the dead—[i]by [j]this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 [k](O)He is the (P)stone which was (Q)rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. 12 And there is salvation in (R)no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Peter and John Threatened and Released

13 Now as they observed the (S)confidence of (T)Peter and John and comprehended that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were marveling, and (U)began to recognize them [l]as having been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. 15 But when they had ordered them to leave the [m](V)Sanhedrin, they began to confer with one another, 16 saying, “(W)What should we do with these men? For the fact that a (X)noteworthy [n]sign has happened through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But lest it spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man (Y)in this name.” 18 And when they had summoned them, they (Z)commanded them not to speak or teach at all [o]in the name of Jesus. 19 But (AA)Peter and John answered and said to them, “(AB)Whether it is right in the sight of God to hear you rather than God, you be the judge; 20 for (AC)we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.” 21 And when they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) (AD)on account of the people, because they were all (AE)glorifying God for what had happened; 22 for the man was more than forty years old on whom this sign of healing had occurred.

23 So when they were released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, “O Master, it is You who (AF)made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who (AG)by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said,

‘(AH)Why did the [p]Gentiles rage,
And the peoples devise vain things?
26 (AI)The kings of the earth [q]took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His [r](AJ)Christ.’

27 For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy [s](AK)Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both (AL)Herod and (AM)Pontius Pilate, along with (AN)the [t]Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever Your hand and (AO)Your purpose predestined to occur. 29 And [u]now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your slaves may (AP)speak Your word with all (AQ)confidence, 30 while You extend Your hand to heal, and [v](AR)signs and wonders happen through the name of Your holy [w](AS)Servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed earnestly, the (AT)place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all (AU)filled with the Holy Spirit and began to (AV)speak the word of God with (AW)confidence.

Distribution Among Needy Believers

32 And the [x]congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and not one was saying that any of his possessions was his own, but, for them, (AX)everything was common. 33 And (AY)with great power the apostles were bearing (AZ)witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses (BA)would sell them and bring the [y]proceeds of the sales 35 and (BB)lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be (BC)distributed to each as any had need.

36 Now Joseph, a Levite of (BD)Cyprian birth, who was also called (BE)Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of [z](BF)Encouragement), 37 and who owned a field, sold it and brought the money and (BG)laid it at the apostles’ feet.
