Atos 16

10 Ā, nō ka kitea te kite­nga, ka mea tonu mātou kia haere ki Makeronia, i whaka­aro hoki, nā te Atua mātou i karanga ki te kauwhau i te rongo­pai ki a rātou.

I Piripai: Te Huringa o Riria ki te Whakapono

11 Heoi, ko te rere­nga atu i Toroa, ka tika tonu mātou ki Hamotarakia, ā, ao ake te rā ki Neapori. 12 I reira atu ki Piripai, ko te pā nui ia o taua wāhi o Makeronia, he koroni nō Roma. Ā, noho ana mātou i taua pā ā taka noa ētahi rā. 13 Nā, i te rā hāpati ka haere mātou ki waho o te pā, ki te taha o tētahi awa, he whaka­aro ko te wāhi tērā hei karakia­tanga; ā, ka noho, ka kōrero ki ngā wāhine i haere tahi ake. 14 Nā, ka whaka­rongo tētahi wahine, ko Riria te ingoa, he kai­hoko pāpura, nō te pā o Taiataira, he wahine kara­kia ki te Atua. He mea whaka­puare tōna ngākau e te Ariki, i rongo ai ia ki ngā mea i kōrero­tia e Paora. 15 Ā, nō ka oti ia te iri­iri, rātou ko tōna whare, ka tohe ia, ka mea, "Ki te mea kua Whaka­aro koutou he pono tāku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai koutou, e noho ki tōku whare." Nā, ka tohea mātou e ia.

I te Whare Herehere i Piripai

16 Nā, i a mātou e haere ana ki te wāhi īnoi, ka tūtaki ki a mātou tētahi kōtiro, he wairua mata­kite nei tōna, he nui te utu i riro i a ia mā ōna ranga­tira, i a ia e poro­piti ana. 17 Ka whai ia i a mātou ko Paora, ka karanga, ka mea, "He pono­nga ēnei tāngata nā te Atua, nā te Runga Rawa, e whaka­pua­kina ana e rātou te ara o te ora ki a koutou."
