Atos 18

I Koroniti

1 Muri iho i ēnei mea ka haere atu a Pāora i Atene, ka tae ki Koriniti. 2 Nā, ka kite ia i tētahi Hūrai ko Akuira te ingoa, i whānau ki Ponoto, he mea tae hou mai i Itari, rāua ko tāna wahine, ko Pirihira; kua whakahaua hoki e Karauria kia haere atu ngā Hūrai katoa i Rōma; ā, ka haere ia ki a rāua. 3 Ā, nō te mea kotahi tā rātou mahi, ka noho ia ki a rāua ka mahi rātou; he tui tēneti hoki tā rāua mahi. 4 Nā, ka kōrerorero ia i roto i te whare karakia i ngā hāpati katoa, e tohe ana ki ngā Hūrai rātou ko ngā Kariki.

5 Nō te taenga mai ia o Hira rāua ko Tīmoti i Makeronia, ka tākare te ngākau o Pāora, ka whakapuaki ki ngā Hūrai ko Īhu te Karaiti. 6 Heoi, i a rātou ka whakatika, ka kohukohu, ka ruia e ia ōna kākahu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Hei runga i ō koutou mātenga ō koutou toto; ka mā ahau. Ko tēnei ka haere ahau ki ngā tauiwi."

7 Nā, ka haere atu ia i reira, ka tomo ki te whare o tētahi tangata, ko Taituha Hutuha te ingoa, he tangata karakia ki te Atua; ko tōna whare i tata tonu ki te whare karakia. 8 Nā, ka whakapono a Kirihipu, te rangatira o te whare karakia, me tōna whare katoa ki te Ariki; he tokomaha hoki ngā Koriniti, i a rātou ka rongo, i whakapono, i iriiria hoki.

9 Ā, ka kōrero moemoeā te Ariki ki a Pāora i te pō, "Kaua e wehi, engari me kōrero, kei noho puku; 10 kei a koe hoki ahau, e kore hoki tētahi tangata e pā ki a koe, e hoatu i te kino ki a koe. He nui hoki āku tāngata i tēnei pā." 11 Nā, kotahi te tau e ono marama i noho ai ia i reira, i whakaako ai i te kupu a te Atua i roto i a rātou.

12 Nā, i a Kario e noho ana hei kāwana mō Akāia, kotahi tonu whakatikanga o ngā Hūrai ki a Pāora, ā, kawea ana ia ki te nohoanga whakawā, 13 ka mea, "E kukume ana tēnei i ngā tāngata ki tētahi karakia ki te Atua e poka kē ana i tā te ture."

14 Ā, e mea tonu ana te māngai o Pāora ki te puaki, ka mea a Kario ki ngā Hūrai, "E ngā Hūrai, mehemea ko tētahi hanga hē, ko tētahi mahi kino rānei, he tika kia āta whakarongo ahau ki a koutou. 15 Ko tēnei he totohe kōrero, he mea ki ngā ingoa, ki tā koutou ture, kei a koutou te whakaaro; e kore hoki ahau e pai kia waiho ahau hei kaiwhakawā mō ēnā mea." 16 Nā, peia atu ana rātou e ia i te nohoanga whakawā. 17 Nā, ka mau ngā Kariki katoa ki a Hotene, rangatira o te whare karakia, ā, whiua ana ia i mua o te nohoanga whakawā. Heoi, kīhai a Kario i whakaaro ki tētahi o ēnei mea.

Te Hokinga ki Anatioka

18 Ā, ka maha ngā rā i noho ai a Pāora, ka poroporoaki ia ki ngā tēina, ā, rere ana ki Hīria, rātou ko Pirihira ko Akuira; he mea moremore tōna upoko i Kenekerea; he kī taurangi hoki nāna. 19 Ā, ka tae rātou ki Epeha, ka mahue rāua i a ia ki reira; ko ia i tomo ki te whare karakia, kōrerorero ai ki ngā Hūrai. 20 Ā, i tā rātou meatanga kia roa atu te wā e noho ai ia ki a rātou, kīhai ia i whakaae; 21 heoi, poroporoaki ana ki a rātou, ka mea, "E hoki mai anō ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua." Ā, rere atu ana ia i Epeha.

22 Ā, nō ka ū ia ki Hiharia, ka haere atu ka oha ki te hāhi, ā, haere ana ki Anatioka. 23 Ā, roaroa iho ki reira, ka haere, ā, hāereerea mārietia ana e ia te whenua Karatia, o Pirikia, me te whakaū i ngā ākonga katoa.

Ko Aporo kei Epeha kei Koriniti

24 Nā, ka haere mai tētahi Hūrai ki Epeha, ko Aporo te ingoa, i whānau ki Arēhānaria, he pū kōrero, he tangata kaha ki ngā karaipiture. 25 I whakaakona tēnei tangata ki te ara o te Ariki; he tangata ia e toko tonu ake ana te ngākau, ka kōrero ia, tika tonu hoki tāna whakaako i ngā mea mō Īhu; heoi anō, tāna i mātau ai ko te iriiri a Hoani. 26 Ka anga ia ka kōrero nui i roto i te whare karakia. Nō te rongonga o Akuira rāua ko Pirihia ki a ia, ka mau rāua ki a ia, ka āta whakaatu ki a ia i te ara o te Atua.

27 Ā, nō ka mea ia kia haere ki Akāia, ka tautokona ia e ngā tēina, ā, ka tuhituhi rātou ki ngā ākonga kia whakamanuhiritia ia e rātou. Ā, nō tōna taenga atu, ka whakakahangia e ia te hunga i meinga nei e te aroha noa kia whakapono; 28 kaha rawa hoki tāna whawhati i tā ngā Hūrai i roto i te huihui; whakaaturia ana e ia tā ngā karaipiture mō Īhu, ko te Karaiti ia.

1 After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. 2 And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them; 3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought; for by their trade they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 7 And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 9 And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace: 10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city. 11 And he dwelt there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat, 13 saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters. 16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat. 17 And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

18 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreæ; for he had a vow. 19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 20 And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not; 21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch. 23 And having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures. 25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John: 26 and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace; 28 for he powerfully confuted the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
