John 7
1 After this Jesus moved from place to place in Galilee. He would not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were seeking an opportunity to kill Him.
I muri i enei mea ka haereere a Ihu i Kariri: kahore hoki ia i pai ki te haereere i Huria, e rapu ana hoki nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia.
2 But the Jewish Festival of the Tent-Pitching was approaching.
Na kua tata te hakari a nga Hurai, te hakari whare wharau.
3 So His brothers said to Him, "Leave these parts and go into Judaea, that not only we but your disciples also may witness the miracles which you perform.
Na ka mea ona teina ki a ia, Haere atu i konei, anga atu ki Huria, kia kite ai hoki au akonga i au mahi e mahi nei koe.
4 For no one acts in secret, desiring all the while to be himself known publicly. Since you are doing these things, show yourself openly to the world."
E kore hoki tetahi tangata e mea huna i tetahi mea, ki te whai ia kia ara tona ingoa. Ki te mea koe i enei mea, kia kite te ao i a koe.
5 For even His brothers were not believers in Him.
Ko ona teina tonu hoki kihai i whakapono ki a ia.
6 "My time," replied Jesus, "has not yet come, but for you any time is suitable.
Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ano kia taea noatia toku taima: ko to koutou taima ia kei nga wa katoa.
7 It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil.
E kore e ahei kia kino te ao ki a koutou; engari ka kino ki ahau, no te mea e whakaaturia ana e ahau te kino o ana mahi.
8 As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come."
Haere koutou ki tenei hakari: e kore ahau e haere wawe ki tenei hakari; kahore hoki toku taima kia ata rite noa.
9 Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.
A ka mutu tenei korero ana ki a ratou, ka noho tonu ia ki Kariri.
10 When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately.
A, no ka riro ona teina ki te hakari, ka haere ano hoki ia, ehara i te mea whakakite nui, engari i tu a huna.
11 Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, "Where is he?"
Heoi i rapu nga Hurai i a ia i te hakari, i mea, Kei hea ia?
12 Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: he is imposing on the people."
He nui hoki te korero komuhumuhu mona i roto i te mano: ko etahi i mea, He tangata pai ia: ko etahi i mea, Kahore, engari e whakapohehe ana ia i te iwi.
13 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him.
Heoi kihai i rahi te korero a tetahi tangata mona, he wehi ki nga Hurai.
14 But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and commenced teaching.
Na, i waenganui o te hakari, ka haere a Ihu ki roto ki te temepara whakaako ai.
15 The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?"
A ka miharo nga Hurai, ka mea, na te aha i hua ai te mohio o tenei tangata, ehara nei hoki ia i te mea whakaako?
16 Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me.
Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ehara i te mea naku ake taku e whakaako nei, engari na toku kaitono mai.
17 If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me.
Ki te pai tetahi tangata ki te mea i tana e pai ai, e matau ia ki te whakaakoranga, na te Atua ranei, he korero naku ake ranei.
18 The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, and there is no deception in him.
Ko te tangata nana ake tana korero, e whai ana ia i tona ake kororia: tena ki te whai tetahi i te kororia o tona kaitono, e pono ana ia, a kahore ona he.
19 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"
He teka ianei na Mohi te ture i hoatu ki a koutou, a kahore e whakaritea te ture e tetahi o koutou? He aha koutou ka whai nei kia whakamatea ahau?
20 "You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants to kill you."
Na ka whakahoki te mano ka mea, He rewera tou: ko wai te whai ana kia whakamatea koe?
21 "One deed I have done," replied Jesus, "and you are all full of wonder.
Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kotahi aku mahi i mahi ai, a e miharotia ana e koutou katoa.
22 Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.
I homai e Mohi te kotinga ki a koutou; ehara ano ia i te mea na Mohi ake, engari na nga tupuna; e kokoti ana hoki koutou i te tangata i te hapati.
23 If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter against me because I have restored a man to perfect health on a Sabbath day?
Ki te kotia te tangata i te hapati, kei takahia te ture a Mohi; e riri ana oti koutou ki ahau, moku i whakaora rawa i te tangata i te hapati?
24 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just."
Kaua e waiho te whakawa i runga i ta te kanohi, engari kia tika ta koutou whakawa.
25 Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man they are wanting to kill?
Me i reira ka mea etahi o nga tangata o Hiruharama, Ehara oti tenei i a ia e whaia nei e ratou kia whakamatea?
26 But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ?
Na, maia tonu tana korero, a kahore a ratou kupu ki a ia. E tino matau ana ranei nga rangatira, ko te Karaiti pu tenei?
27 And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from."
Otiia e matau ana tatou ki te wahi i puta mai ai tenei: tena ka tae mai a te Karaiti, kahore he tangata e matau ki te wahi e puta mai ai ia.
28 Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.
Na ka karanga a Ihu i te temepara i a ia e whakaako ana, ka mea, E matau ana koutou ki ahau, e matau ana ano ki te wahi i haere mai ai ahau: ehara i ahau ake taku haere mai; engari e pono ana te kaitono mai i ahau; kahore nei koutou i matau ki a ia.
29 I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me."
E matau ana ahau ki a ia; i puta mai hoki ahau i a ia, nana ano ahau i tono mai.
30 On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.
A i whai ratou kia hopukia ia: otiia kihai i pa te ringa o tetahi ki a ia, kahore hoki tona haora i taka noa.
31 But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him. "When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more miracles than this teacher has performed?"
A he tokomaha o te mano i whakapono ki a ia, i mea, ka tae mai a te Karaiti, tera ranei e maha atu ana merekara e mea ai i a tenei e mea nei?
32 The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent some officers to apprehend Him.
I rongo nga Parihi i te mano e korerorero ana i enei mea mona; na ka tonoa mai e nga Parihi ratou ko nga tohunga nui he katipa ki te hopu i a ia.
33 So Jesus said, "Still for a short time I am with you, and then I go my way to Him who sent me.
Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He iti noa ake te wahi e noho ai ahau ki a koutou, katahi ahau ka haere ki toku kaitono mai.
34 You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am you cannot come."
Tera koutou e rapu i ahau, heoi e kore koutou e kite: e kore hoki koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e noho ai ahau.
35 The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about to betake himself, so that we shall not find him? Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Na ka mea nga Hurai ki a ratou ano, E haere oti te tangata nei ki hea, e kore ai e kitea e tatou? e haere oti ia ki nga manene i roto i nga Kariki, ako ai i nga Kariki?
36 What do those words of his mean, 'You will look for me, but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
He ki aha tenei e ki nei ia, Tera koutou e rapu i ahau, a e kore e kite: e kore hoki koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e noho ai ahau?
37 On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him come to me and drink.
I te ra whakamutunga, i te ra nui o te hakari, ka tu a Ihu, ka karanga, ka mea, Ki te matewai tetahi, haere mai ia ki ahau, kia inu.
38 He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said--rivers of living water shall flow."
Ki te whakapono tetahi ki ahau, ka rite ki ta te karaipiture, ka rere mai nga wai ora i roto i tona kopu.
39 He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
I korerotia tenei e ia mo te Wairua, meake nei riro i te hunga e whakapono ana ki a ia; kahore ano hoki te Wairua Tapu kia homai noa; no te mea kiano a Ihu i whakakororiatia noatia.
40 After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet."
Ko etahi o te mano i to ratou rongonga i tenei kupu, i mea, he pono ko te Poropiti tenei.
41 Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so, for is the Christ to come from Galilee?
Ka mea etahi, Ko te Karaiti tenei. Ko etahi i mea, E puta mai ranei a te Karaiti i Kariri?
42 Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?"
Kahore koia te karaipiture i mea, E puta mai a te Karaiti i te uri o Rawiri, i Peterehema, i te kainga i noho ai a Rawiri?
43 So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account.
Na ka waiho ia hei take wehewehenga ma te mano.
44 Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid hands upon Him.
Ko etahi o ratou i mea kia hopukia ia: otira kihai i pa nga ringa o tetahi ki a ia.
45 Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
Na ko te taenga atu o nga katipa ki nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi; ka mea atu enei ki a ratou, he aha ia te kawea mai ai e koutou.
46 "No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks," said the officers.
Ka whakahokia e nga katipa, Kahore rawa he tangata i rite ana korero ki a tenei.
47 "Are you deluded too?" replied the Pharisees;
Na ka whakahokia ta ratou e nga Parihi, Kua tinihangatia ano hoki koutou?
48 "has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
Kua whakapono koia tetahi o nga rangatira, o nga Parihi ranei ki a ia?
49 But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!"
Ko tenei hunga ia e kore nei e matau ki te ture, ka oti ratou te kanga.
50 Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.
Ka mea a Nikorima ki a ratou, tera i haere mai ra ki a ia i mua, ko ia hoki tetahi o ratou,
51 "Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?"
Ka whakahengia ranei te tangata e to tatou ture, i te mea kahore ano i whakarongo noa ki a ia, i matau hoki ki tana mahi?
52 "Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin."
Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe hoki tetahi no Kariri? Tena rapua, ka kite koe, kahore kia ara noa tetahi poropiti i Kariri.
53 [So they went away to their several homes;
Na hoki ana ratou ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
