Luke 12
1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Na kei te huihui ano tera nga mano, tona tini, no ka takatakahi i a ratou ano, a ka anga ia ka korero i te tuatahi tonu ki ana akonga, ka mea, Kia tupato i te rewena o nga Parihi, ara i te tinihanga.
2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
Kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; kahore hoki tetahi mea ngaro e mahue te mohio.
3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
Mo konei ko ta koutou e korero ai i te pouri, ka rangona i te marama; ko ta koutou e kia ai ki te taringa i nga ruma i roto rawa, ka kauwhautia i runga o nga whare.
4 I tell you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, e oku hoa, kaua e wehi ki te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, a muri iho kahore he mea e taea e ratou.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Geenna g1067)
Engari maku e whakaatu ki a koutou ta koutou e wehi ai: E wehi ki a ia kei a ia nei te mana, i muri i tana whakamatenga, ki te maka ki Kehena; ae ra hoki, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, E wehi ki a ia. (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
Kahore ianei e hokona nga pihoihoi e rima ki nga patene e rua? a kahore tetahi o ratou e wareware i te Atua?
7 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Heoi kua oti katoa te tatau nga makawe katoa nei o o koutou matenga. Kaua e wehi: engari koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.
8 I tell you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakaae tetahi ki ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakaaetia ano ia e te Tama a te tangata i te aroaro o nga anahera a te Atua:
9 But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Ki te whakakahore tetahi i ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakakahoretia ano ia i te aroaro o nga anahera a te Atua.
10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Ki te korero tetahi he whakahe mo te Tama a te tangata, ka murua tona hara; tena ko te tangata e kohukohua ai te Wairua Tapu, e kore tona e murua.
11 When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how to defend yourselves or what to say.
Ki te kawea koutou ki nga whare karakia, ki nga rangatira, ki te hunga whai mana, kaua e manukanuka ki te pehea, ki te aha ranei e whakahoki atu ai koutou, ki ta koutou ranei e korero ai:
12 For at that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you should say.”
Ma te Wairua Tapu hoki koutou e ako i taua haora ano ki nga mea e tika ana kia korerotia e koutou.
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Na ka mea tetahi i roto i te mano ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, mea atu ki toku tuakana, kia wehea mai moku tetahi wahi o te kainga.
14 But Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed Me judge or executor between you?”
Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, E te tangata nei, na wai ahau i mea hei kaiwhakawa, hei kaiwehewehe i waenganui i a koutou?
15 And He said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourselves against every form of greed, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kia mahara, kia tupato ki te apo: ehara i te mea ma te nui o nga taonga a te tangata e ora ai ia.
16 Then He told them a parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced an abundance.
Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou, ka mea, Na he nui te hua o te whenua o tetahi tangata whai taonga:
17 So he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, since I have nowhere to store my crops?’
Na ka whakaaroaro ia i roto i a ia, Me pehea ahau? Kahore hoki oku wahi hei putunga mo aku hua.
18 Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build bigger ones, and there I will store up all my grain and my goods.
A ka mea ia, Tenei taku e mea ai: ka wawahia e ahau oku whare witi, a ka hanga kia nui: a ka kohikohia ki reira aku hua katoa, me aku taonga:
19 Then I will say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
Katahi ahau ka mea ki toku wairua, E toku wairua, ka maha au mea papai kei te rongoa mo nga tau e maha; noho noa iho, e kai, e inu, kia koa te ngakau.
20 But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be required of you. Then who will own what you have accumulated?’
Otiia ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Kuware, ko a tenei po ano tangohia ai tou wairua i a koe: a ma wai nga mea kua pae na i a koe?
21 This is how it will be for anyone who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
Na, ka pena te tangata e whakapuranga ana i te taonga mana ake, a kahore e hua tana whaka te Atua.
22 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Kaua e manukanuka ki to koutou oranga, ki ta koutou e kai ai; ki te tinana ranei, ki ta koutou e kakahu ai.
23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
Rahi atu te ora i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu.
24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storehouse or barn; yet God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
Whakaaroa nga rawene; kahore nei e whakato, kahore e kokoti, kahore a ratou pakoro, kahore he whare witi; heoi e whangaia ana ratou e te Atua: tera noa ake koutou i nga manu.
25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
A ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?
26 So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?
A ki te kore e taea e koutou te mea nohinohi rawa, he aha i manukanuka ai ki tetahi atu?
27 Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these.
Whakaaroa nga rengarenga, to ratou tupu: e kore nei e mahi, e kore e miro; na ko taku tenei ki a koutou, Kihai a Horomona me tona kororia katoa i rite ki tetahi o enei te whai kakahu.
28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!
Na, ki te penei ta te Atua whakakakahu i te tarutaru i te parae, kei reira aianei, a apopo ka maka ki te oumu; tera noa ake tana i a koutou, e te hunga whakapono iti.
29 And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it.
Kaua ra e rapu ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai, kaua e tirengi noa te whakaaro.
30 For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them.
E rapu ana hoki nga iwi o te ao i enei mea katoa: otira e matau ana to koutou Matua e matea ana e koutou enei mea.
31 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.
Engari rapu te rangatiratanga o te Atua: a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.
32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.
Kaua e mataku, e te kahui nohinohi; kua pai hoki to koutou matua ki te homai i te rangatiratanga ki a koutou.
33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.
Hokona o koutou taonga, hoatu he mea ma te hunga rawakore; hanga ma koutou he peke moni e kore e tawhitotia, he taonga ki te rangi e kore e memeha, ki te wahi e kore nei e tata atu te tahae, e kore ano te huhu e kai.
34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Ko te wahi hoki i to koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
35 Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning.
Whitikiria o koutou hope, tahuna nga rama kia ka;
36 Then you will be like servants waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks, they can open the door for him at once.
Ko to koutou rite hei nga tangata e tatari ana ki to ratou rangatira, ina hoki mai i te hakari o te marena; mo tona tae rawa mai, ka patoto, na uaki tonu atu ratou ki a ia.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.
Ka koa nga pononga e rokohina mai e to ratou rangatira, a tona taenga mai, e mataara ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka whitiki ia i a ia, a ka mea i a ratou kia noho, ka haere ki te mahi mea ma ratou.
38 Even if he comes in the second or third watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.
A ki te haere mai ia i te rua o nga mataaratanga, i te toru ranei, a ka rokohina mai e pera ana ano, ka koa aua pononga.
39 But understand this: If the homeowner had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
Otira kia mohio koutou ki tenei, me i matau te tangata i te whare, ki te wa e haere mai ai te tahae, kua mataara ia, a kahore i tukua kia pokaia tona whare.
40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.”
Kia tatanga ra koutou: no te mea e puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te haora e kore ai koutou e mahara.
41 “Lord,” said Peter, “are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?”
Na ka mea a Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite e korero nei koe? ki te katoa ranei?
42 And the Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their portion at the proper time?
Na ka mea te Ariki, Ko wai ra te tuari pono, mahara, e meinga e tona ariki hei rangatira mo ana tangata, hei hoatu i te mehua kai i te wa e tika ai?
43 Blessed is that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Ka koa taua pononga, ki te rokohina e tona rangatira ina tae mai, e pena ana.
44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka meinga ia hei rangatira mo ana taonga katoa.
45 But suppose that servant says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and he begins to beat the menservants and maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk.
Otira ki te mea taua pononga i roto i tona ngakau, Ka roa te haerenga mai o toku ariki; a ka anga ka whiu i nga pononga tane, i nga pononga wahine, ka kai, ka inu, ka haurangi;
46 The master of that servant will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not anticipate. Then he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
Ka haere mai te rangatira o taua pononga i te ra e kore ai ia e mahara, i te haora e kore ai ia e mohio, a ka hautopea ia, ka meinga mona he wahi i roto i te hunga whakaponokore.
47 That servant who knows his master’s will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows.
Na, ko taua pononga, i mohio nei ki ta tona rangatira i pai ai, a kihai i whakaaro wawe, kihai hoki i mea i tana i pai ai, he maha nga whiu mona:
48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.
Tena ko ia kihai i mohio, a i mahi i nga mea e tika ai kia whiua, he torutoru nga whiu mona. Ko te tangata hoki i nui te hoatutanga ki a ia he nui ano hei homaitanga mana; a ko te tangata i nui te tukunga ki a ia, hira noa atu te mea e tonoa i a ia.
49 I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
I haere mai ahau ki te maka kapura ki te whenua; a ka pehea ahau, mehemea kua ka ke?
50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Otira he iriiringa toku e iriiria ai ahau; ano toku takarekare kia oti ra ano!
51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.
E mea ana ranei koutou, i haere mai ahau ki te homai i te rangimarie ki te whenua? Tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Kahore; engari i te wehewehe:
52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.
Hei nga ra hoki e takoto ake nei ka tokorima i roto i te whare kotahi, a ka tahuri ki a ratou ano, tokotoru ki te tokorua, tokorua ki te tokotoru.
53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Ka tahuri atu te papa ki te tama, te tama ki te papa; te whaea ki te tamahine, te tamahine ki tona whaea; te hungawai wahine ki tana hunaonga wahine, me te hunaonga wahine ki tona hungawai wahine.
54 Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens.
A i mea ano ia ki nga mano, Ka kite koutou i te kapua e puta mai ana i te hauauru, na mea tonu ake koutou, He ua te haere mai nei; a ko ia ano ia.
55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is.
Ka kite koutou i te tonga e pupuhi ana, ka mea koutou, Meake ko te werawera; a ko ia ano ia.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?
E te hunga tinihanga, e matau ana koutou ki te titiro ki te mata o te whenua, o te rangi; he aha koutou te matau ai ki te titiro ki tenei taima?
57 And why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
A he aha koutou te whakaaro noa ake ai i te mea tika?
58 Make every effort to reconcile with your adversary while you are on your way to the magistrate. Otherwise, he may drag you off to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and the officer may throw you into prison.
I a korua ko tou hoa tauwhainga e haere ana ki te kaiwhakawa, hei te huarahi ano kia kaha te mea kia makere atu ia i a koe: kei toia koe e ia ki te kaiwhakawa, a ka tukua koe e te kaiwhakawa ki te katipa, a ka maka koe e te katipa ki te whare he rehere.
59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta mai i reira, kia poto ra ano nga moni iti rawa te utu e koe.
