Matthew 18
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
I taua wa ka haere mai nga akonga ki a Ihu, ka mea, Ko wai te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi?
2 And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them,
Na ka karangatia e Ihu tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, ka whakaturia e ia ki waenganui i a ratou,
3 And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
Ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kore koutou e tahuri, a e penei me nga tamariki nonohi, e kore koutou e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
4 Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Na, ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, a ka rite ki tenei tamaiti nohinohi, ko ia te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
5 And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:
A, ki te manako tetahi ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi penei, he whakaaro hoki ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ki ahau.
6 But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.
Tena ko tenei, ka he i tetahi tangata tetahi o enei mea nonohi e whakapono nei ki ahau, nui ke te pai ki a ia me i whakawerewerea ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, me i pungaia ia ki te rire o te moana.
7 A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.
Aue te mate mo te ao i nga take he! kua tino takoto rawa hoki he putanga mo nga take he; otiia aue te mate no tera tangata e puta ai te take he!
8 And if your hand or your foot is a cause of trouble, let it be cut off and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to go into the eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
Ki te he koe i tou ringa, i tou waewae ranei, poutoa, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo ki te ora he kopa, he ringa mutu, i te maka ki te ahi ka tonu, he ringa rua, he waewae rua. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if your eye is a cause of trouble to you, take it out, and put it away from you: it is better for you to go into life with one eye than, having two eyes, to go into the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Ki te he hoki koe i tou kanohi, tikarohia, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kanohi tahi ki te ora, i te maka kanohi rua ki te kapura o Kehena. (Geenna g1067)
10 Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven.
Kia mahara kei whakahawea ki tetahi o enei mea nohinohi: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E titiro tonu ana o ratou anahera i te rangi ki te kanohi o toku Matua i te rangi.
I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.
12 What would you say now? if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone wandering away, will he not let the ninety-nine be, and go to the mountains in search of the wandering one?
Pehea to koutou whakaaro? ki te mea he rau nga hipi a tetahi tangata, a ka kotiti ke tetahi, e kore ianei e waiho e ia nga iwa tekau ma iwa, ka haere i runga i nga maunga, rapu ai i te mea i kotiti ke?
13 And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.
A, ki te kitea, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, tera atu, tona hari ki taua hipi, i te hari ki nga iwa tekau ma iwa kihai i kotiti ke.
14 Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.
Waihoki kahore he ngakau o to koutou Matua i te rangi kia ngaro tetahi o enei mea nonohi.
15 And if your brother does wrong to you, go, make clear to him his error between you and him in private: if he gives ear to you, you have got your brother back again.
A, ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, haere, korerotia tona hara ki a ia, korua anake: ki te whakarongo ia ki a koe, ka riro i a koe tou teina.
16 But if he will not give ear to you, take with you one or two more, that by the lips of two or three witnesses every word may be made certain.
A, ki te kore ia e whakarongo, kawea atu hei hoa mou kia kotahi, kia tokorua ranei, kia mau ai nga kupu katoa i nga mangai o nga kaiwhakarongo tokorua, tokotoru ranei.
17 And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.
A, kite pake ia ki a raua, korerotia ki te hahi: a ki te pake ano ia ki te hahi, me waiho e koe hei tautangata, hei pupirikana.
18 Truly I say to you, Whatever things are fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko a koutou e here ai i te whenua e herea ano ki te rangi: ko a koutou e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano ki te rangi.
19 Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te mea ka tokorua o koutou e rite tahi ana nga whakaaro i te whenua mo tetahi mea e inoi ai raua, e meinga ano mo raua e toku Matua i te rangi.
20 For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.
Na, ko te wahi e whakaminea ai te hunga tokorua, tokotoru ranei, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kei reira ahau kei waenganui i a ratou.
21 Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?
Katahi ka haere a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia hia nga haranga o toku teina ki ahau, me taku whakarere noa iho i tona hara? kia whitu?
22 Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.
Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E kore ahau e mea ki a koe, Kia whitu: engari, Kia whitu tekau whitu.
23 For this reason the kingdom of heaven is like a king, who went over his accounts with his servants.
Koia ka rite ai te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi kingi, i mea kia korerotia ki a ia ana moni e ana pononga.
24 And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.
A, ka timata ia te ui, ka kawea ki a ia he tangata, tekau mano nga taranata i a ia.
25 And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.
A te whai rawa ia hei utu, ka mea tona ariki kia hokona ia, tana wahine me ana tamariki, me ana taonga katoa, hei whakautu.
26 So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.
Na ka tapapa iho taua pononga, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.
27 And the lord of that servant, being moved with pity, let him go, and made him free of the debt.
Na ka oho i te aroha te ariki o taua pononga, tuku ana i a ia, a whakarerea noatia iho e ia ana moni tarewa.
28 But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.
Heoi te putanga o taua pononga ki waho, ka kite i tetahi o ona hoa pononga, kotahi rau ana pene i a ia: na hopukia ana e ia, notia iho te kaki, me te ki ano, Utua taku nama.
29 So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.
Heoi tapapa ana tona hoa pononga ki ona waewae, ka inoi ka a ia, ka mea, Kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.
30 And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.
A kihai ia i pai: heoi haere ana, maka ana i a ia ki te whare herehere, kia utua katoatia ra ano te nama.
31 So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.
Heoi, no te kitenga o ona hoa pononga i taua meatanga, nui atu to ratou pouri, a haere ana, whakaaturia ana ki to ratou ariki nga mea katoa i meatia.
32 Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:
Katahi ka karanga tona ariki i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, i whakarerea noatia e ahau taua moni tarewa katoa i a koe, nau hoki i inoi ki ahau:
33 Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?
Ehara oti i te tika kia tohungia e koe tou hoa pononga, me ahau hoki i tohu i a koe?
34 And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.
Na ka riri tona ariki, a tukua ana ia ki nga kaiwhakamamae, kia utua katoatia ra ano tana nama.
35 So will my Father in heaven do to you, if you do not everyone, from your hearts, give forgiveness to his brother.
Tera ano e pera toku Matua i te rangi ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarerea noatia i roto i o koutou ngakau nga he o te teina o tenei, o tenei, o koutou.
