Hoani 7
1 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.
After this, Jesus went about in Galilee, for he would not do so in Judea, because the religious authorities (in Jerusalem) were eager to put him to death.
2 Na kua tata te hakari a nga Hurai, te hakari whare wharau.
When the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 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.
his brothers said to him, ‘Leave this part of the country, and go into Judea, so that your disciples, as well as we, may see the work that you are doing.
4 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.
For no one does a thing privately, if they are seeking to be widely known. Since you do these things, you should show yourself publicly to the world.’
5 Ko ona teina tonu hoki kihai i whakapono ki a ia.
For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ano kia taea noatia toku taima: ko to koutou taima ia kei nga wa katoa.
‘My time,’ answered Jesus, ‘is not come yet, but your time is always here.
7 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.
The world cannot hate you, but it does hate me, because I testify that its ways are evil.
8 Haere koutou ki tenei hakari: e kore ahau e haere wawe ki tenei hakari; kahore hoki toku taima kia ata rite noa.
Go yourselves up to the Festival; I am not going to this Festival yet, because my time has not yet come.’
9 A ka mutu tenei korero ana ki a ratou, ka noho tonu ia ki Kariri.
After telling them this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10 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.
But, when his brothers had gone up to the Festival, Jesus also went up – not publicly, but privately.
11 Heoi i rapu nga Hurai i a ia i te hakari, i mea, Kei hea ia?
The authorities were looking for him at the Festival and asking “Where is he?”;
12 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.
and there were many whispers about him among the people, some saying “He is a good man;” others, “No! He is leading the people astray.”
13 Heoi kihai i rahi te korero a tetahi tangata mona, he wehi ki nga Hurai.
No one, however, spoke freely about him, because they were afraid of the authorities.
14 Na, i waenganui o te hakari, ka haere a Ihu ki roto ki te temepara whakaako ai.
About the middle of the Festival week, Jesus went up into the Temple Courts, and began teaching.
15 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?
The authorities were astonished. ‘How has this man got his learning,’ they asked, ‘when he has never studied?’
16 Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ehara i te mea naku ake taku e whakaako nei, engari na toku kaitono mai.
So, in reply, Jesus said, ‘My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
17 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.
If anyone has the will to do God’s will, they will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.
18 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.
The person who speaks on their own authority seeks honour for themselves; but the one who seeks the honour of him who sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.
19 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?
Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?’
20 Na ka whakahoki te mano ka mea, He rewera tou: ko wai te whai ana kia whakamatea koe?
‘You must be possessed by a demon!’ the people exclaimed. ‘Who is seeking to put you to death?’
21 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kotahi aku mahi i mahi ai, a e miharotia ana e koutou katoa.
‘There was one thing I did,’ replied Jesus, ‘at which you are all still wondering.
22 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.
But that is why Moses has instituted circumcision among you – not, indeed, that it began with him, but with our ancestors – and that is why you circumcise even on a Sabbath.
23 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?
When a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath to prevent the Law of Moses from being broken, how can you be angry with me for making a man sound and well on a Sabbath?
24 Kaua e waiho te whakawa i runga i ta te kanohi, engari kia tika ta koutou whakawa.
Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.’
25 Me i reira ka mea etahi o nga tangata o Hiruharama, Ehara oti tenei i a ia e whaia nei e ratou kia whakamatea?
At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, ‘Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?
26 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?
Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?
27 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.
Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.’
28 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.
Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, ‘Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.
29 E matau ana ahau ki a ia; i puta mai hoki ahau i a ia, nana ano ahau i tono mai.
I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.’
30 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.
So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.
31 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?
Many of the people, however, believed in him. ‘When the Christ comes,’ they said, ‘will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?’
32 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.
The Pharisees heard the people whispering about him in this way, and so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him;
33 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.
at which Jesus said, ‘I will be with you but a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34 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.
You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be.’
35 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?
‘Where is this man going,’ the people asked one another, ‘that we would not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach foreigners?
36 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?
What does he mean by saying “You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be”?’
37 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.
On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed, ‘If anyone is thirsty, they should come to me and drink.
38 Ki te whakapono tetahi ki ahau, ka rite ki ta te karaipiture, ka rere mai nga wai ora i roto i tona kopu.
From the heart of those who believe in me will flow, as is said in scripture, rivers of living water.’
39 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.
(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)
40 Ko etahi o te mano i to ratou rongonga i tenei kupu, i mea, he pono ko te Poropiti tenei.
Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, ‘This is certainly the Prophet!’;
41 Ka mea etahi, Ko te Karaiti tenei. Ko etahi i mea, E puta mai ranei a te Karaiti i Kariri?
others said, ‘the Christ!’; but some asked, ‘What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42 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?
Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?’
43 Na ka waiho ia hei take wehewehenga ma te mano.
So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.
44 Ko etahi o ratou i mea kia hopukia ia: otira kihai i pa nga ringa o tetahi ki a ia.
Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.
45 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.
When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, ‘Why have you not brought him?’
46 Ka whakahokia e nga katipa, Kahore rawa he tangata i rite ana korero ki a tenei.
‘No one ever spoke as he speaks!’ they answered.
47 Na ka whakahokia ta ratou e nga Parihi, Kua tinihangatia ano hoki koutou?
‘What! Have you been led astray too?’ the Pharisees replied.
48 Kua whakapono koia tetahi o nga rangatira, o nga Parihi ranei ki a ia?
‘Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49 Ko tenei hunga ia e kore nei e matau ki te ture, ka oti ratou te kanga.
As for these people who do not know the Law – they are cursed!’
50 Ka mea a Nikorima ki a ratou, tera i haere mai ra ki a ia i mua, ko ia hoki tetahi o ratou,
But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,
51 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?
‘Does our Law pass judgment on a person without first giving them a hearing, and finding out what they have been doing?’
52 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.
‘Are you also from Galilee?’ they retorted. ‘Search, and you will find that no prophet is to arise in Galilee!’
53 Na hoki ana ratou ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
And everyone went home
