Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
A, i tona haerenga ki te whare o tetahi o nga rangatira, he Parihi, ki te kai taro i te hapati, na titiro pu mai ana ratou ki a ia.
2 And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.
Na, ko tetahi tangata i tona aroaro, he kopu tetere tona mate.
3 And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath?
Na ka oho a Ihu, ka korero ki nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, ki nga Parihi, ka mea, he mea tika ranei te whakaora i te hapati?
4 But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.
A kihai ratou i kiki. Na ka mau ia ki a ia, a whakaorangia ana, tukua ana kia haere;
5 And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?
Na ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te taka te kaihe, te kau ranei, a tetahi o koutou ki te poka, e kore ianei e hutia ake e ia i reira pu ano i te ra hapati?
6 And they could not answer him back to these things.
A kihai i taea e ratou te utu enei kupu ana.
7 And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them,
Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki te hunga i karangatia, i tona kitenga i a ratou e whiriwhiri ana i nga nohoanga rangatira; i mea ia ki a ratou.
8 When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.
Ki te karangatia koe e tetahi ki te marena, kaua e noho ki te nohoanga rangatira; kei karangatia hoki e ia tetahi he nui atu i a koe;
9 And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.
A ka haere mai te tangata i karangatia ai korua, ka mea ki a koe, Tukua he nohoanga mo tenei; a ka whakama koe, ka haere ki to muri rawa nohoanga noho ai.
10 But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee.
Engari ka karangatia koe, haere, e noho ki to muri rawa nohoanga; mo te tae rawa mai o te tangata nana koe i karanga, na ka mea ia ki a koe whai kororia ai i te aroaro o nga tangata e noho tahi ana koutou.
11 Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
Ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.
12 And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made to thee.
Na ka mea ia ki te tangata nana nei ia i karanga, E taka koe i te tina, i te hapa ranei, kaua e karangatia ou hoa, kaua hoki ou teina, kaua hoki ou whanaunga, kaua ano nga tangata taonga e noho tata ana; kei karangatia ano koe, a ka whai utu koe.
13 But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
Engari ka taka hakari koe, karangatia nga rawakore, nga haua, nga kopa, nga matapo:
14 and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.
A ka koa koe; kahore hoki a ratou utu ki a koe: engari ka utua koe a te aranga o te hunga tika.
15 And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.
A, no ka rongo tetahi o te hunga e noho tahi ana ki te kai ki enei mea, ka mea ki a ia, Ka koa te tangata kai taro i te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
16 And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many.
Na ka mea ia ki a ia, I taka he hapa nui e tetahi tangata, a he tokomaha i karangatia:
17 And he sent forth his bondman at the hour of the meal to say to those who were invited, Come, because all things are now ready.
A ka tonoa tana pononga i te haora o te hapa, hei mea ki te hunga i karangatia, haere mai; kua rite hoki nga mea katoa.
18 And they all from one began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I have need to go out and see it. I ask thee have me excused.
Na ka anga ratou katoa ka whakakahore ngatahi. Ka mea to mua ki a ia, Kua hokona e ahau he mara, me haere ahau kia kite: e mea ana ahau ki a koe, kia tukua ahau kia whakakahore.
19 And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them. I ask thee have me excused.
Na ko te meatanga a tetahi, E rima takirua nga okiha kua hokona e ahau, ka haere ahau ki te whakamatau: e mea ana ahau ki a koe, kia tukua ahau kia whakakahore.
20 And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I cannot come.
I mea ano tetahi, Kua marenatia ahau ki te wahine, he mea tenei e kore ai ahau e ahei te haere atu.
21 And that bondman, having come, he informed his lord these things. Then the house-ruler having become angry, he said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the thoroughfares and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and maimed and crippled and blind.
A, ko te haerenga mai o taua pononga, ka korerotia enei mea ki tona rangatira, na ka riri te tangata i te whare, ka mea ki tana pononga, Hohoro te haere ki nga ara, ki nga huarahi o te pa, arahina mai ki konei nga rawakore, nga ngongengonge, nga matapo, me nga kopa.
22 And the bondman said, Lord, as thou commanded it has happened, and yet there is room.
Na ka mea te pononga, E kara, kua rite tau i mea ai, a tenei ano he wahi takoto noa.
23 And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
A ka mea te rangatira ki te pononga, haere ki nga huarahi, ki nga taiepa, toia mai ki roto nei, kia ki ai toku whare.
24 For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few chosen.
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore tetahi o aua tangata i karangatia ra e kai i taku hapa.
25 Now many multitudes went with him, and having turned, he said to them,
Na he tini te tangata i haere tahi me ia; a ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a ratou,
26 If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Ki te haere mai tetahi ki ahau, a ka kore e whakakino ki tona papa, whaea, wahine, tamariki, teina, tuahine, ae ra ki te ora ano mona ake, e kore ia e ahei hei akonga maku.
27 And whoever does not bear his cross, and come behind me, cannot be my disciple.
Ki te kore tetahi e mau ki tona ripeka, e haere mai i muri i ahau, e kore ia e ahei hei akonga maku.
28 For which of you wanting to build a tower, does not, having first sat down, count the cost whether he has the things for completion?
Ko wai hoki o koutou, ki te mea ia ki te hanga taumaihi, e kore e matua noho ki te tatau i nga utu, mehemea e ranea ana ana mea hei whakaoti?
29 So that perhaps, having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all those who see begin to ridicule him,
Kei whakatakoto ia i te turanga, ka kore e taea te whakaoti, a ka tawai mai ki a ia te hunga katoa e matakitaki ana,
30 saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Ka mea, i timata te tangata nei te hanga whare, a kihai i taea te whakaoti.
31 Or what king going to encounter another king in war, will not, having first sat down, consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
Ko tehea kingi ranei e haere ana ki te whawhai ki tetahi atu kingi, e kore e matua noho, e whakaaro, e taea ranei e ia me nga mano kotahi tekau te tu kite riri ki tera e haere mai ra ki a ia me nga mano e rua tekau?
32 And if not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks the things about peace.
A, ki te kahore, i te mea i tawhiti ano tera, ka tukua atu e ia he karere, ka mea ki nga kaupapa e houhia ai te rongo.
33 So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him, cannot be my disciple.
Waihoki, ko te tangata o koutou e kore e whakarere i ana mea katoa, e kore e ahei hei akonga maku.
34 The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes tasteless, by what will it be seasoned?
No reira he pai te tote: otira ki te hemo te ha o te tote, ma te aha ka whai ha ai?
35 It is fit neither for the land nor for manure; they cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
E kore e pai mo te whenua, e kore ano hei whakawairakau; a ka akiritia ai e te tangata ki waho. ko ia he taringa ona hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
