Maori Bible
4 A, i a raua e korero ana ki te iwi, ka puta ohorere mai ki a raua nga tohunga, te rangatira o te temepara me nga Haruki,
2 He nui te pawera mo ta raua ako i te iwi, mo te kauwhau hoki i runga i a Ihu i te aranga mai i te hunga mate.
3 Na ka mau o ratou ringa ki a raua, meinga ana kia tiakina kia ao ra ano te ra, i te mea hoki kua ahiahi.
4 Otira he tokomaha o te hunga i rongo i te kupu i whakapono, a ko te tokomaha o nga tangata me te mea e rima mano.
5 Na i te aonga ake ka huihui o ratou rangatira, nga kaumatua, me nga karaipi ki Hiruharama,
6 Ratou ko te tino tohunga, ko Anaha, ko Kaiapa, ko Hoani, ko Arehanara, me nga whanaunga katoa o te tohunga nui.
7 A, no ka whakaturia raua ki waenganui, ka ui ratou, Tena koa te mana, te ingoa ranei, i meatia ai tenei e korua?
8 Katahi a Pita, ki tonu i te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ki a ratou, E nga rangatira o te iwi, e nga kaumatua, o Iharaira.
9 Mehemea ki te uiuia maua aianei mo te mahi pai i mahia ki te tangata haua, i peheatia taua tangata i ora ai;
10 Kia mohio koutou katoa, me te iwi katoa o Iharaira, na te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti o Nahareta, i ripekatia na e koutou, i whakaarahia ra e te Atua i te hunga mate, nana tenei i tu ora ai i to koutou aroaro.
11 Ko ia te kohatu i whakakahoretia na e koutou, e nga kaihanga, a kua meinga nei hei mo te kokonga.
12 Kahore hoki he ora i tetahi atu: kahore hoki he ingoa ke atu i raro o te rangi kua homai ki nga tangata, e ora ai tatou.
13 Na ka kite ratou i te maia o Pita raua ko Hoani, a ka matau ki a raua ehara i te mea whakaako, engari he hunga kuware, ka miharo ratou; ka mohio hoki he hoa raua no Ihu.
14 Ka kite hoki i te tangata i whakaorangia e tu tahi ana ratou, kahore rawa i taea tetahi kupu whakahe ma ratou.
15 Na ka tono ratou i a raua kia haere i waho o te runanga, a ka korerorero ki a ratou ano,
16 Ka mea, Me aha e tatou enei tangata? ka kite katoa nei hoki te hunga e noho ana i Hiruharama, he merekara nui kua meinga nei, a e kore e ahei te whakakorekore e tatou.
17 Otiia, kia kaua ai e horapa atu ki roto ki te iwi, kia kaha ta tatou whakawehi i a raua, kei korero ki tetahi tangata a muri nei i runga i tenei ingoa.
18 A karangatia ana raua e ratou, ka mea ki a raua, Kia kaua rawa e korero, kia kaua e whakaako, i runga i te ingoa o Ihu.
19 Na ka whakahoki a Pita raua ko Hoani ki a ratou, ka mea, Whakaaroa e koutou, ka tika ranei ki te aroaro o te Atua ko koutou kia whakarangona, kaua te Atua?
20 E kore hoki e ahei kia kaua e korerotia e maua nga mea i kite ai, i rongo ai matou.
21 Heoi whakawehi ana ano ratou i a raua, a tukua ana kia haere, kihai hoki i kitea he mea e whiua ai raua, i wehi i te iwi: i whakakororia katoa nei nga tangata i te Atua mo taua mea i meatia;
22 No te mea kua neke atu i te wha tekau nga tau o te tangata i meinga nei ki a ia tenei merekara whakaora.
23 A ka oti raua te tuku, ka haere ki o raua hoa, a korerotia ana nga mea katoa i korero ai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua ki a raua.
24 A, i to ratou rongonga, ka karanga ake ratou ki te Atua, he kotahi te reo, ka mea, E te Ariki, nau nei i hanga te rangi me te whenua, te moana, me o reira mea katoa:
25 Nau te kupu i korerotia e te Wairua Tapu, na te mangai o to matou matua, o tau pononga, o Rawiri, He aha ka nana ai nga Tauiwi, ka whakaaro horihori ai nga iwi?
26 I whakatika ake nga kingi o te whenua, i huihui ngatahi nga rangatira, ki te whawhai ki te Ariki raua ko tana Karaiti.
27 He pono nei hoki te huihuinga ki tenei pa o Herora, o Ponotia Pirato, o nga Tauiwi, ratou ko te iwi o Iharaira, ki tau Tama tapu, ki a Ihu i whakawahia nei e koe,
28 Ki te mea i ta tou ringa, i ta tou whakaaro i whakatakoto ai i mua kia meatia.
29 Na, titiro iho, e te Ariki, aianei ki a ratou kupu whakawehi: tukua mai hoki ki au pononga kia tino maia te korero i tau kupu,
30 Ko koe ia e totoro mai ana tou ringa ki te whakaora; kia meatia hoki te tohu, he mea whakamiharo i runga i te ingoa o tau Pononga tapu, o Ihu.
31 I te mutunga o ta ratou inoi, ka ngaueue te wahi i mine ai ratou, a ki katoa ratou i te Wairua Tapu, na, maia noa atu ratou ki te korero i te kupu a te Atua.
32 Kotahi ano ngakau, kotahi ano wairua o te mano o te hunga whakapono: kihai ano tetahi o ratou i mea, mana ake tetahi o ana taonga; heoi he mea huihui a ratou mea katoa.
33 A nui atu te kaha i whakapuakina ai e nga apotoro te aranga o te Ariki, o Ihu; he nui ano te aroha noa i runga i a ratou katoa.
34 Kahore hoki tetahi o ratou i hapa: ko te hunga hoki he kainga, he whare o ratou, hokona atu ana e ratou, a mauria ana mai nga utu o nga mea i hokona,
35 Whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro: na ka tuwhaina ma ia tangata, ma ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki te mate o ia tangata.
36 A ko Hohi i huaina e nga apotoro ko Panapa, ko te tikanga tenei ina whakamaoritia, ko te Tama a te whakamarietanga, he Riwaiti, ko Kaiperu tona kainga,
37 He wahi whenua tona, na hokona atu ana, mauria ana nga moni, whakatakotoria ana ki nga waewae o nga apotoro.

Peter and John Before the Sanhedrin
4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard(A) and the Sadducees(B) came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.(C) 3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail(D) until the next day. 4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew(E) to about five thousand.
5 The next day the rulers,(F) the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas,(G) John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit,(H) said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!(I) 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame(J) and are being asked how he was healed, 10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,(K) whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead,(L) that this man stands before you healed. 11 Jesus is
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”(N)
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John(O) and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men,(P) they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.(Q) 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin(R) and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?”(S) they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign,(T) and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(U) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(V) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(W) about what we have seen and heard.”(X)
21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(Y) were praising God(Z) for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
The Believers Pray
23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.(AA) “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.(AB) 25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David:(AC)
“‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.[b]’[c](AD)
27 Indeed Herod(AE) and Pontius Pilate(AF) met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus,(AG) whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.(AH) 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.(AI) 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders(AJ) through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”(AK)
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.(AL) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit(AM) and spoke the word of God(AN) boldly.(AO)
The Believers Share Their Possessions
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.(AP) 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify(AQ) to the resurrection(AR) of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace(AS) was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them,(AT) brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet,(AU) and it was distributed to anyone who had need.(AV)
36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas(AW) (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.(AX)
