Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
A, ka mutu ta Ihu whakarite korero ki ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua, ka haere atu ia i reira ki te whakaako, ki te kauwhau ki o ratou pa.
2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Na, i te rongonga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere ki nga mahi a te Karaiti, ka tonoa e ia etahi o ana akonga,
3 And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei tenei e haere mai nei, me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
4 Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:
Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a raua, Haere, korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e rongo nei, e kite nei korua:
5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera e meinga ana kia ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, a e kauwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore.
6 And blessed is he, who shall not be offended because of me.
A ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
A, i a raua e haere atu ana, ka timata a Ihu, ka korerotia a Hoani ki te mano, I haere koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu maeneene.
9 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu ano i te poropiti.
10 For this is he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Ko ia hoki tenei mona te mea i tuhituhia, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara ki mua i a koe.
11 Verily I say to you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: however he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ano i maea ake i roto i nga whanau a te wahine he rahi ake i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: heoi rahi ake i a ia te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
A no nga ra mai ano i a Hoani Kaiiriiri a mohoa noa nei e tukinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, a e riro ana ia i te ringa kaha o nga tangata taikaha.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
No te mea i poropiti nga poropiti katoa me te ture a taea noatia a Hoani.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come.
A, ki te pai koutou koia ra, ko Iraia tenei, i meinga ra e haere mai ana.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
Otiia me whakarite e ahau tenei whakatupuranga ki te aha? E rite ana ki nga tamariki e noho ana i nga wahi hokohoko, e karanga ana ki o ratou hoa,
17 And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.
E mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani mai; aue noa matou ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i tangi mai.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.
I haere mai hoki a Hoani, kihai i kai, kihai i inu, heoi e mea ana ratou, He rewera tona.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.
I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai me te inu, ka mea ratou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara! Otira ma ana mahi e whakatika te whakaaro nui.
20 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not:
Katahi ia ka anga ka tawai ki nga pa i meinga ai te maha o ana merekara, mo ratou kihai i ripeneta:
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which had been done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Aue, te mate mou, e Korahina! aue, te mate mou, e Petahaira! me i meatia ki Taira, ki Hairona nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a korua, kua ripeneta ke raua, he taratara te kakahu me te oke i te pungarehu.
22 But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to Taira raua ko Hairona e mama i te ra whakawa i to korua.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Me koe hoki, e Kaperenauma, e whakateiteitia ranei koe a tae noa ki te rangi? ka heke koe ki te reinga: me i meatia hoki ki Horoma nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a koe, kua tu tonu tera a taea noatia tenei ra. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma e mama i tou i te ra whakawa.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
I taua wa ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, He whakawhetai atu taku ki a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi o te whenua, no te mea kua huna e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mahara, a hurahia ana ki nga kohungahunga.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Ae ra, e Pa; i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.
27 All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son will reveal him.
Kua tukua mai nga mea katoa ki ahau e toku Matua: a kahore tetahi e matau ki te Tama, ko te Matua anake; kahore hoki tetahi e matau ki te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ki a ia.
28 Come to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Haere mai ki ahau, e koutou katoa e mauiui ana, e taimaha ana, a maku koutou e whakaokioki.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls.
Tangohia taku ioka ki runga ki a koutou, kia whakaakona koutou e ahau; he ngakau mahaki hoki toku, he ngakau papaku: a e whiwhi koutou ki te okiokinga mo o koutou wairua.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
He ngawari hoki taku ioka, he mama taku pikaunga.
