Mataio 19
1 A PAU ae la ia olelo ana a Iesu, hele aku la ia mai Galilaia aku, a hiki aku la ma ka mokuna o Iudea ma kela aoao o Ioredane.
When Jesus had finished these discourses, He removed from Galilee and came into that part of Judaea which lay beyond the Jordan.
2 A he nui ka poe kanaka i hahai aku ia ia, a hoola iho la ia i ko lakou poe mai.
And a vast multitude followed him, and He cured them there.
3 Hele mai la kekahi poe Parisaio io na la, e hoao aku ia ia, i mai la, He mea pono anei ke hooki ke kane i kana wahine i kela hala i keia hala.
Then came some of the Pharisees to Him to put Him to the proof by the question, "Has a man a right to divorce his wife whenever he chooses?"
4 Olelo aku la ia, i aku la ia lakou, Aole anei oukou i heluhelu, O ka mea nana laua i hana i kinohou, hana iho la ia, he kane, he wahine?
"Have you not read," He replied, "that He who made them 'made them' from the beginning 'male and female,
5 I iho la ia, No keia mea, e haalele ke kanaka i kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, a e pili aku ia me kana wahine, a e lilo laua elua i io hookahi.
and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall be one'?
6 Nolaila, aole e lilo hou laua i elua, hookahi o laua io. No ia hoi, o ka mea a ke Akua i hoopili pu iho ai, mai noho a hookaawale ae ke kanaka.
Thus they are no longer two, but 'one'! What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 I mai la lakou ia ia, No ke aha hoi o Mose i kauoha mai ai, e haawi aku na ka wahine i palapala hoohemo, a e hooki aku ia ia?
"Why then," said they, "did Moses command the husband to give her 'a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?"
8 I aku la oia ia lakou, No ka paakiki o ko oukou naau i ae mai ai o Mose ia oukou e hooki i na wahine a oukou; aole pela ia mai kinohi mai.
"Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not been so from the beginning.
9 Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, o ka mea nana e hooki i kana wahine, ke moe kolohe ole ia, a e mare i ka wahine hou, ua moe kolohe ia kane; a o ka mea nana e mare ua wahine hemo la, ua moe kolohe hoi ia.
And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 I aku la kana poe haumana ia ia, Ina paha pela ke kane me kana wahine, e aho no ke mare ole.
"If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife," said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."
11 I mai la kela ia lakou, Aole e hiki i na kanaka a pau ke hoomanawanui pela; aia i ka poe nana keia pono i haawiia mai.
"It is not every man," He replied, "who can receive this teaching, but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed.
12 No ka mea, he poe eunuha kekahi mai ko lakou hanau ana mai, a he poe eunuha kekahi i hoeunuhaia e kanaka, a he poe eunuha kekahi i hoeunuhaia e lakou iho no ke aupuni o ka lani. O ka mea e hiki ia ia ia mea, e pono no ia pela.
There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage, others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
13 Alaila, laweia mai io na la na kamalii, e kau aku ai ia i na lima maluna o lakou, a e pule aku; a papa aku la ka poe haumana ia lakou.
Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.
14 I mai la Iesu, E kuu mai oukou i na kamalii, me ka papa ole ia lakou i ka hele mai io'u nei; no ka mea, no ka poe e like me lakou nei ke aupuni o ka lani.
Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."
15 A kau iho la ia i na lima maluna o lakou, a hele aku la.
So He laid His hands upon them and went away.
16 Aia hoi, hele mai la kekahi kanaka, i mai la ia ia, E ke kumu maikai, heaha ka mea maikai a'u e hana'i, i loaa ia'u ke ola mau loa? (aiōnios g166)
"Teacher," said one man, coming up to Him, "what that is good shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?" (aiōnios g166)
17 I aku la oia ia ia, No ke aha la oe e kapa mai nei ia'u he maikai? Aohe mea maikai e ae, hookahi wale no, o ke Akua. Ina e makemake oe e komo iloko o ke ola, e malama oe i na kanawai.
"Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good? There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."
18 I mai la kela, O na kanawai hea? I aku la Iesu, O neia, Mai pepehi kauaka oe, Mai moe kolohe oe, Mai aihue oe, Mai hoike wahahee oe.
"Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "'Thou shalt not kill;' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery;' 'Thou shalt not steal;' 'Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;'
19 E hoomaikai i kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine; a, E aloha oe i kou hoalauna me oe ia oe iho.
'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'"
20 I mai la ua kanaka opiopio la ia ia, Ua malama au ia mau mea a pau mai kuu wa kamalii mai; heaha ko'u hemahema?
"All of these," said the young man, "I have carefully kept. What do I still lack?"
21 I aku la Iesu ia ia, A i makemake oe e hemolele, ea, e hele oe, e kuai lilo aku i kou waiwai a pau, a e haawi aku na ka poe ilihune, a e loaa ia oe ka waiwai iloko o ka lani; a e hele mai oe e hahai mai ia'u.
"If you desire to be perfect," replied Jesus, "go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have wealth in Heaven; and come, follow me."
22 Lohe ae la ua kanaka opiopio la ia olelo, hele aku la ia me ka minamina; no ka mea, he nui loa kona waiwai.
On hearing those words the young man went away much cast down; for he had much property.
23 Olelo mai la o Iesu i kana poe haumana, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e komo apuepue ke kanaka waiwai iloko o ke aupuni o ka lani.
So Jesus said to His disciples, "I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the Kingdom of the Heavens.
24 Eia hou ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, E hiki e ke kamelo ke komo ma ka puka o ke kuikele mamua o ke komo ana o ke kanaka waiwai iloko o ke aupuni o ka lani.
Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
25 Lohe ae la na haumana ana, kahaha nui iho la lakou, i ae la, Owai la auanei ke ola?
These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?"
26 Nana mai la o Iesu ia lakou, i mai la, He mea hiki ole ia i kanaka; aka, e hiki io no na mea a pau i ke Akua.
Jesus looked at them and said, "With men this is impossible, but with God everything is possible."
27 Alaila, olelo aku la o Petero ia ia, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua haalele makou i na mea a pau, a ua hahai aku makou ia oe; heaha la uanei ka makou e loaa'i?
Then Peter said to Jesus, "See, we have forsaken everything and followed you; what then will be our reward?"
28 I mai la o Iesu ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, i ke ola hou ana, i ka wa e noho ai ke Keiki a ke kanaka maluna o kona nohoalii nani; oukou hoi ka poe i hahai mai ia'u, e noho no oukou maluna o na nohoalii he umikumamalua, i poe lunakanawai no na ohana o Iseraela he umikumamalua.
"I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of Man has taken His seat on His glorious throne, all of you who have followed me shall also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 O ka mea haalele i na hale, i na hoahanaukane, i na hoahanauwahine, i ka makuakane, i ka makuwahine, i ka wahine, i na keiki, i na aina hoi, no ko'u inoa, e loaa mai ia ia he pahaneri, a e lilo mai ia ia ke ola mau loa. (aiōnios g166)
And whoever has forsaken houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or children or lands, for my sake, shall receive many times as much and shall have as his inheritance the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)
30 A he nui na mea mua e lilo ana i hope, a o na mea hope e lilo ana i mua.
"But many who are now first will be last, and many who are now last will be first.
