28 Na, ko era atu o te iwi, ko nga tohunga, ko nga Riwaiti, ko nga kaitiaki kuwaha, ko nga kaiwaiata, ko nga Netinimi, me te hunga katoa i wehea i roto i nga iwi o nga whenua ki te ture a te Atua, ko a ratou wahine, ko a ratou tama, ko a ratou tama hine, ko te hunga katoa i mohio, i whai whakaaro;

29 Piri tonu ratou ki o ratou tuakana, teina, ki o ratou rangatira, a uru ana ki te kanga, ki te oati, kia haere i runga i te ture a te Atua i homai nei e ia, ara e Mohi, e te pononga a te Atua, kia puritia hoki, kia mahia nga whakahau katoa a Ihow a, a to matou Ariki, ana whakaritenga, me ana tikanga;

30 Kia kaua hoki e hoatu a matou tamahine ma nga iwi o te whenua, kia kaua e tangohia a ratou tamahine ma a matou tama:

31 A, ki te kawea mai e nga iwi o te whenua etahi taonga, tetahi kai ranei i te ra hapati hei hoko, kia kaua e hokona ta ratou mea i te hapati, i te ra tapu ranei; a me whakarere noa iho te whitu o nga tau, kaua hoki e tohea te moni tarewa.

32 I hanga ano e matou he tikanga ma matou kia hoatu e matou te toru o nga wahi o te hekere i te tau mo te mahi o te whare o to matou Atua;

33 Mo te taro aroaro, mo te whakahere totokore tuturu, mo nga tahunga tinana tuturu o nga hapati, o nga kowhititanga marama, mo nga hakari tuturu, mo nga mea tapu, mo nga whakahere hara, hei whakamarie mo Iharaira; mo te mahi katoa ano o te whare o to matou Atua.

34 I maka rota ano matou, nga tohunga, nga Riwaiti, te iwi, mo te whakahere rakau kia kawea ki te whare o to matou Atua i runga i nga whare o o matou matua, i nga wa i whakaritea o tenei tau, o tenei tau, hei tahu ki runga ki te aata a Ihowa, a to matou Atua, kia rite ai ki te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture;

35 Mo nga matamua o to matou oneone, mo nga matamua ano o nga hua katoa o nga rakau katoa, kia kawea i tenei tau, i tenei tau, ki te whare o Ihowa;

36 Mo nga matamua ano o a matou tama, o a matou kararehe, kia peratia me te mea i tuhituhia ki te ture, mo nga matamua ano o a matou kau, o a matou hipi, kia kawea ki te whare o to matou Atua, ki nga tohunga e minita nei i te whare o to matou Atua:

37 Kia kawea ano e matou nga matamua o a matou paraoa pokepoke, me a matou whakahere hapahapai, me nga hua o nga rakau katoa, o te waina, o te hinu, ki nga tohunga, ki nga ruma o te whare o to matou Atua; me nga whakatekau o nga hua o to matou oneo ne ki nga Riwaiti, e riro ana hoki i a ratou, i nga Riwaiti nga whakatekau i nga pa katoa e ngaki ai matou.

38 Na ko te tohunga, ko te tama a Arona, hei hoa mo nga Riwaiti, ina tango nga Riwaiti i nga whakataekau; a me mau e nga Riwaiti nga whakatekau o nga whakatekau ki te whare o to matou Atua, ki nga ruma, ki te whare taonga.

39 Me mau hoki e nga tama a Iharaira, e nga tama a Riwai, nga whakahere hapahapai, ara te witi, te waina, te hinu, ki nga ruma; kei reira hoki nga oko o te wahi tapu, me nga tohunga hei minita, me nga kaitiaki kuwaha, me nga kaiwaiata; e kore hoki e whakarerea e matou te whare o to matou Atua.

11  Na i noho nga rangatira o te iwi ki Hiruharama: a i maka rota te nuinga atu o te iwi mo te tangata takikotahi i te tekau kia kawea ki Hiruharama, ki te pa tapu, noho ai, a ko te tokoiwa ki era atu pa.

30 “We promise not to give our daughters in marriage to the peoples around us or take their daughters for our sons.(L)

31 “When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath,(M) we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day. Every seventh year we will forgo working the land(N) and will cancel all debts.(O)

32 “We assume the responsibility for carrying out the commands to give a third of a shekel[b] each year for the service of the house of our God: 33 for the bread set out on the table;(P) for the regular grain offerings and burnt offerings; for the offerings on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon(Q) feasts and at the appointed festivals; for the holy offerings; for sin offerings[c] to make atonement for Israel; and for all the duties of the house of our God.(R)

34 “We—the priests, the Levites and the people—have cast lots(S) to determine when each of our families is to bring to the house of our God at set times each year a contribution of wood(T) to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the Law.

“We will not neglect the house of our God.”(AD)

The New Residents of Jerusalem(AE)

11 Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem. The rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of every ten of them to live in Jerusalem,(AF) the holy city,(AG) while the remaining nine were to stay in their own towns.(AH) The people commended all who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.

These are the provincial leaders who settled in Jerusalem (now some Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants and descendants of Solomon’s servants lived in the towns of Judah, each on their own property in the various towns,(AI) while other people from both Judah and Benjamin(AJ) lived in Jerusalem):(AK)

From the descendants of Judah:

Athaiah son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, a descendant of Perez; and Maaseiah son of Baruch, the son of Kol-Hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, a descendant of Shelah.

Jedaiah; the son of Joiarib; Jakin; 11 Seraiah(AL) son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub,(AM) the official in charge of the house of God, 12 and their associates, who carried on work for the temple—822 men; Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malkijah, 13 and his associates, who were heads of families—242 men; Amashsai son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer, 14 and his[d] associates, who were men of standing—128.

15 From the Levites:

Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni; 16 Shabbethai(AN) and Jozabad,(AO) two of the heads of the Levites, who had charge of the outside work of the house of God; 17 Mattaniah(AP) son of Mika, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph,(AQ) the director who led in thanksgiving and prayer; Bakbukiah, second among his associates; and Abda son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.(AR) 18 The Levites in the holy city(AS) totaled 284.

19 The gatekeepers:

Akkub, Talmon and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

20 The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, each on their ancestral property.

21 The temple servants(AT) lived on the hill of Ophel, and Ziha and Gishpa were in charge of them.

22 The chief officer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah,(AU) the son of Mika. Uzzi was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the musicians responsible for the service of the house of God. 23 The musicians(AV) were under the king’s orders, which regulated their daily activity.

24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, one of the descendants of Zerah(AW) son of Judah, was the king’s agent in all affairs relating to the people.

25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath Arba(AX) and its surrounding settlements, in Dibon(AY) and its settlements, in Jekabzeel and its villages, 26 in Jeshua, in Moladah,(AZ) in Beth Pelet,(BA) 27 in Hazar Shual,(BB) in Beersheba(BC) and its settlements, 28 in Ziklag,(BD) in Mekonah and its settlements, 29 in En Rimmon, in Zorah,(BE) in Jarmuth,(BF) 30 Zanoah,(BG) Adullam(BH) and their villages, in Lachish(BI) and its fields, and in Azekah(BJ) and its settlements. So they were living all the way from Beersheba(BK) to the Valley of Hinnom.

31 The descendants of the Benjamites from Geba(BL) lived in Mikmash,(BM) Aija, Bethel(BN) and its settlements, 32 in Anathoth,(BO) Nob(BP) and Ananiah, 33 in Hazor,(BQ) Ramah(BR) and Gittaim,(BS) 34 in Hadid, Zeboim(BT) and Neballat, 35 in Lod and Ono,(BU) and in Ge Harashim.

36 Some of the divisions of the Levites of Judah settled in Benjamin.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin

The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.

The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is

“‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.’[a](M)

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)

13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John(O) and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,(P) they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.(Q) 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin(R) and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”(S) they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign,(T) and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(U) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(V) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(W) about what we have seen and heard.”(X)

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(Y) were praising God(Z) for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
