Atos 14

I Ikoniuma

1 Ā, i Ikoniuma ka haere tahi rāua ki roto ki te whare kara­kia o ngā Hūrai, ā, ka kōrero, nō ka whaka­pono tōna tini o ngā Hūrai, o ngā Kariki. 2 Nā, ngā Hūrai whaka­teka ia i whaka­oho, i whaka­kino ngā ngākau o ngā tauiwi ki ngā tēina. 3 Nā, he nui te wā i noho ai rāua i reira, i māia ai te kōrero i ngā mea a te Ariki, nāna i whaka­ae te kupu o tōna aroha noa, me te hōmai anō e ia ngā tohu me ngā mea whaka­mīharo kia meatia e ō rāua ringa. 4 Otiia, i wehe­wehea ngā tāngata o te pā; ko ētahi i ū ki ngā Hūrai, ko ētahi ki ngā āpō­toro.

5 Ā, i ngā tauiwi rātou ko ngā Hūrai, ko ō rātou ranga­tira hoki e huaki ana ki te whaka­tupu kino, ki te āki i a rāua ki te kōhatu. 6 Ka tūpato rāua, ā, rere ana ki Raihitara, ki Rerepe, ki ngā pā o Raikaonia, ki pahaki tata atu anō hoki. 7 Ā, kauwhau­tia ana e rāua te rongo­pai ki reira.

I Raihitara me Rerepe

8 I Raihitara hoki e noho ana tētahi tangata wae­wae ngoi­kore, he kopa nō te kōpū mai o tōna whaea, kāhore i haere i mua iho. 9 I rongo tēnei i a Paora e kōrero ana; ko te tiro­hanga pu­tanga atu o tērā ki a ia, ka kite he whaka­pono tōna e ora ai, 10 he nui noa atu tōna reo ki te karanga atu, "E tū ōu wae­wae ki runga." Nā, moko­whiti ake ana ia, haere ana. 11 Nō te kite­nga o ngā tāngata i tā Paora i mea ai, ka ara tō rātou reo, ka mea i te reo o Raikaonia, "Kua heke iho ngā atua ki a tātou, nō ngā tāngata te āhua!" 12 Ā, huaina ana e rātou a Pānapa ko Hupita, a Paora ko Merekurai, nō te mea ko ia te pū kōrero. 13 Nā, ka kawea mai e te tohu­nga o Hupita, i te ngutu nei o te pā tōna teme­para, he pūru, he tūpare ki ngā kūwaha, ka mea kia patua he whaka­here e rātou ko ngā mano.

14 Otirā, i te rongo­nga o ngā āpō­toro, o Pānapa rāua ko Paora, ka hae­hae i ō rāua kākahu, ā, rere ana ki roto ki ngā tāngata, ka karanga atu, 15 ka mea, "E mara mā, he aha koutou ka mea ai i ēnei mea? He tāngata anō māua, he rite tahi ki a koutou te tū, e kauwhau ana hoki i te rongo­pai, kia tahuri kē koutou i ēnei mea teka­teka noa ki te Atua ora, nāna nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana me ō reira mea katoa. 16 I ngā whaka­tupu­ranga hoki kua pahemo atu, i tukua e ia ngā iwi katoa kia haere i ō rātou ake ara. 17 Otiia, kīhai i tukua e ia kia kāhore he kai­whaka­atu mōna; i ata­whai hoki ia, i hōmai anō e ia ki a koutou te ua o te rangi, me ngā pō hua, i mākona ai ō koutou ngākau i te kai, i te koa." 18 Ā, ka kōrero­tia ēnei kupu, nā, mutu whaka­uaua i a rāua te mea a ngā tāngata ki te patu whaka­here mā rāua.

19 Otirā, ka haere mai ētahi Hūrai i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma; ā, ka whaka­kīkī rātou i ngā mano, ā, ākina ana a Paora ki te kōhatu, tōia ana ki waho o te pā, hua noa kua mate. 20 Otiia, i ngā ākonga e tū ana i tōna taha, ka whaka­tika ia, haere ana ki roto ki te pā. Ā, i te aonga ake ka haere rāua ko Pānapa ki Rerepe.

Te Hokinga ki Anitioka i Hīria

21 Ā, nō ka kauwhau rāua i te rongo­pai ki taua pā, ā, he toko­maha ka meinga hei ākonga, ka hoki rāua ki Raihitara, ki Ikoniuma, ki Anatioka; 22 whakaū ana i ngā wairua o ngā ākonga, whaka­hau ana i a rātou kia mau tonu ki te whaka­pono, kua takoto hoki te tikanga, me nā runga i ngā mate­nga maha he ara atu mō tātou ki te ranga­tira­tanga o te Atua. 23 Ā, nō ka whaka­ritea e rāua he kaumātua mō rātou i tēnei hāhi, i tēnei hāhi, me te īnoi anō rāua me te noho­puku, ka tukua atu rātou e rāua ki te Ariki, i whaka­pono nei rātou.

24 Nā, ka haere rāua nā waenga­nui o Pihi­ria, tae tonu atu ki Pamapu­ria. 25 Ā, ka oti te kauwhau e rāua te kupu ki Pereka, ka haere rāua ki raro ki Ataria. 26 Ā, rere atu ana i reira ki Anatioka, ki te wāhi i tukua ai rāua ki te aroha noa o te Atua, mō te mahi ka oti nei i a rāua.

27 Nā, ka tae rāua ka hui­huia te hāhi, ka kōrero­tia ngā mea i mahi tahi ai te Atua me rāua ko tāna ua­kanga hoki i te tatau o te whaka­pono ki ngā tauiwi. 28 Ā, kīhai i iti te wā i noho ai rāua i reira ki ngā ākonga.
