Atos 16

25 Nā, i waenga­nui pō ka īnoi a Paora rāua ko Hira, ka waiata atu ki te Atua, me te whaka­rongo anō ngā here­here ki a rāua. 26 Nā, ka pā whaka­rere he rū nui, i ngarue ai ngā tū­ranga o te whare here­here. Ā, puare tonu atu ngā tatau katoa, whaka­koro­koroa ana ngā here­nga o ngā tāngata katoa. 27 Ā, ka oho te kai­tiaki here­here i te moe, ka kite i ngā tatau o te whare here­here e puare ana, nā, ka unu i tāna hoari, ka mea ki te patu i a ia anō, hua noa kua oma ngā here­here. 28 Nā, ka nui te reo o Paora ki te karanga, ka mea, "Kauaka tētahi mea kino e meatia ki a koe; ina tonu hoki mātou katoa."

29 Ā, karanga­tia ana e ia he rama, ka rere ki roto, ka haere wiri, ka takoto ki te aro­aro o Paora rāua ko Hira. 30 Ka āra­hina hoki rāua ki waho, ka mea, "E hoa mā, me aha ka ora ai ahau?"

31 Ka mea rāua "Me whaka­pono ki te Ariki, ki a Īhu Karaiti, ka ora ai koe, koutou tahi ko tōu whare." 32 Nā, ka kōrero­tia te kupu a te Ariki ki a ia, ki ngā tāngata katoa hoki i roto tōna whare. 33 Ā, ka mauria rāua e ia i taua hāora o te pō, ka horoia ō rāua whiu­nga; nā, iri­iria tonu­tia iho, a ia me āna tāngata katoa. 34 Ā, ka āra­hina rāua e ia ki tōna whare, ka whaka­tū­ria he tēpu kai ki mua i a rāua, ā, nui atu tōna hari, me tōna whare katoa, i te mea kua whaka­pono nei ki te Atua.
