Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly 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 lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.
Na, ko tetahi tangata i tona aroaro, he kopu tetere tona mate.
3 And Jesus, answering, spake unto the Lawyers and Pharisees, saying—Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to cure, or not? But, they, held their peace.
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 And taking hold [of him] he healed and dismissed him, —
A kihai ratou i kiki. Na ka mau ia ki a ia, a whakaorangia ana, tukua ana kia haere;
5 and, unto them, said—Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?
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 return an answer unto these things.
A kihai i taea e ratou te utu enei kupu ana.
7 And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, —observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto 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 Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been 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 that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee—Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.
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, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee—Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together 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, everyone who exalteth himself, shall be abased; and, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?
Ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.
12 Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, —Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, —lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto 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, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;
Engari ka taka hakari koe, karangatia nga rawakore, nga haua, nga kopa, nga matapo:
14 and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in 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 one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him—Happy, whoever shall eat bread 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 But, he, said unto him—A certain man, was making a great supper, and 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 out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited—Be coming! because, even now, is it, 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 began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him—A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold 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—Five yoke of oxen, have I bought, and am going my way to prove them; I request thee, hold 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—A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, 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, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant—Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, —and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou in here.
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 servant said—Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; 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 unto the servant—Go out among the highways and fences, 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 unto you—Not one of those men who had been invited, shall taste of my supper.
Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore tetahi o aua tangata i karangatia ra e kai i taku hapa.
25 And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them—
Na he tini te tangata i haere tahi me ia; a ka tahuri ia, ka mea ki a ratou,
26 If anyone cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, further also, even his own life, 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 Whoever beareth not his own cross, and cometh after 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, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, —whether he hath sufficient 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 lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at 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, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.
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, by any means, while he is yet afar off, he sendeth, an embassy, and requesteth the conditions of 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 Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, 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 Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall 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 Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! He that hath 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.
