10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis; 12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a Roman colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days. 13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together. 14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul. 15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying. 17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

10 A, no ka kitea te kitenga, ka mea tonu matou kia haere ki Makeronia, i whakaaro hoki, na te Atua matou i karanga ki te kauwhau i te rongopai ki a ratou.

11 Heoi, ko te rerenga atu i Toroa, ka tika tonu matou ki Hamotarakia, a ao ake te ra ki Neapori;

12 I reira atu ki Piripai, ko te pa nui ia o taua wahi o Makeronia, he koroni no Roma: a noho ana matou i taua pa a taka noa etahi ra.

13 Na i te ra hapati ka haere matou ki waho o te pa, ki te taha o tetahi awa, he whakaaro ko te wahi tera hei karakiatanga; a ka noho, ka korero ki nga wahine i haere tahi ake.

14 Na ka whakarongo tetahi wahine, ko Riria te ingoa, he kaihoko papura, no te pa o Taiataira, he wahine karakia ki te Atua: he mea whakapuare tona ngakau e te Ariki, i rongo ai ia ki nga mea i korerotia e Paora.

15 A, no ka oti ia te iriiri, ratou ko tona whare, ka tohe ia, ka mea, Ki te mea kua whakaaro koutou he pono taku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai koutou, e noho ki toku whare. Na ka tohea matou e ia.

16 Na, i a matou e haere ana ki te wahi inoi, ka tutaki ki a matou tetahi kotiro, he wairua matakite nei tona, he nui te utu i riro i a ia ma ona rangatira, i a ia e poropiti ana:

17 Ka whai ia i a matou ko Paora, ka karanga, ka mea, he pononga enei tangata na te Atua, na te Runga Rawa, e whakapuakina ana e ratou te ara o te ora ki a koutou.
