Luke 12
1 Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first—Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the 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 But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.
Kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; kahore hoki tetahi mea ngaro e mahue te mohio.
3 Because, as many things as, in the darkness, ye have said, in the light, shall be heard; and, what to the ear ye spake, in the chambers, shall be proclaimed on 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 And I say unto you, my friends—Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do.
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 suggest to you, whom ye should fear—Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, —Yea, I say unto you—Him, fear ye. (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 farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before 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 But, even the hairs of your head, have all been numbered: Be not afraid: many sparrows, ye excel.
Heoi kua oti katoa te tatau nga makawe katoa nei o o koutou matenga. Kaua e wehi: engari koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.
8 And I say unto you—Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers 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, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers 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, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall 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 But, whensoever they shall be bringing you in before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how, [or what] ye shall answer, or what ye shall 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, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.
Ma te Wairua Tapu hoki koutou e ako i taua haora ano ki nga mea e tika ana kia korerotia e koutou.
13 And one from amongst the multitude said unto him—Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.
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, he, said unto him—Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over 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 unto them—Mind and be guarding yourselves from all covetousness; for not, in one’s abundance, doth his life spring out 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 And he spake a parable unto them, saying—A certain rich man’s estate, bare well.
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 And he began to deliberate within himself, saying—What shall I do? because I have not where I can gather my fruits.
Na ka whakaaroaro ia i roto i a ia, Me pehea ahau? Kahore hoki oku wahi hei putunga mo aku hua.
18 And he said—This, will I do, —I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;
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 and will say to my soul—Soul! thou hast many good things [lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink, ] be making 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 unto him—Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?
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 [So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.]
Na, ka pena te tangata e whakapuranga ana i te taonga mana ake, a kahore e hua tana whaka te Atua.
22 And he said unto his disciples—For this cause, I say unto you, —Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for [your] body, what ye shall put on;
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, the life, is more, than the food, and, the body, than, the clothing.
Rahi atu te ora i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu.
24 Consider well the ravens—That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, —and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, 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 And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?
A ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?
26 If then, not even the least thing, ye can do, why, concerning the rest, are ye anxious?
A ki te kore e taea e koutou te mea nohinohi rawa, he aha i manukanuka ai ki tetahi atu?
27 Consider well the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you—Not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed 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 But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-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 Ye, therefore, be not seeking what ye shall eat and what ye shall drink, and be not held in suspense;
Kaua ra e rapu ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai, kaua e tirengi noa te whakaaro.
30 For, after all these things, do, the nations of the world, seek, —but, your Father, knoweth that ye need these things.
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 Notwithstanding, be seeking his kingdom, —and, these things, shall be added unto you.
Engari rapu te rangatiratanga o te Atua: a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.
32 Be not afraid, the dear little flock! for your Father delighteth 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 alms, make for yourselves purses that wax not old, —treasure unfailing, in the heavens, where, thief, doth not draw near, and, moth, doth not spoil.
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, will your heart he also.
Ko te wahi hoki i to koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
35 Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning,
Whitikiria o koutou hope, tahuna nga rama kia ka;
36 And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, —that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.
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 Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you—he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto 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 And, if, in the second, or if, in the third, watch, he come and find, thus, happy, are, they!
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, of this, be taking note—Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.
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 Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of Man cometh!
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 But Peter said—Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?
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 said—Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?
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 Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!
Ka koa taua pononga, ki te rokohina e tona rangatira ina tae mai, e pena ana.
44 Of a truth, I say unto you—Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka meinga ia hei rangatira mo ana taonga katoa.
45 But, if that servant should say in his heart—My lord delayeth to come! and should begin to be striking the youths and the maidens, —to be eating also, and drinking, and making himself 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 lord of that servant, will have come—on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, —and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.
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 And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
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 Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.
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 Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, —and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?
I haere mai ahau ki te maka kapura ki te whenua; a ka pehea ahau, mehemea kua ka ke?
50 But, an immersion, have I, to be immersed with, and how am I distressed, until it be ended!
Otira he iriiringa toku e iriiria ai ahau; ano toku takarekare kia oti ra ano!
51 Suppose ye, that, peace, I am come to give in the earth? Nay, I tell you, but rather 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 For there shall be, henceforth, five in one house, 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 There shall be divided—Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, —mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the 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 And he went on to say, even unto the multitudes, —Whensoever ye see a cloud springing up from the west, straightway, ye are saying—A thunderstorm is coming! and it happeneth thus.
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, whensoever a south wind, blowing, ye say—A scorching heat, will there be! and it cometh to pass.
Ka kite koutou i te tonga e pupuhi ana, ka mea koutou, Meake ko te werawera; a ko ia ano ia.
56 Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;
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 Why, moreover, even from yourselves, judge ye not what is just?
A he aha koutou te whakaaro noa ake ai i te mea tika?
58 For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, —and, the punisher, cast thee 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 thee—In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!
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.
