Ruka 13
1 Na i reira etahi i taua wa nana i korero ki a ia nga tangata o Kariri, i whakaranua nei o ratou toto e Pirato ki a ratou patunga tapu.
Now there were some present at that very time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E mea ana ranei koutou, he hara rawa aua tangata o Kariri i nga tangata katoa o Kariri, no te mea he pera o ratou mate?
Jesus responded to them, “Do you think that those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered such things?
3 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kahore; engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano hoki koutou katoa te mate.
No, I tell you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish.
4 Me taua tekau ma waru i horoa nei e te pourewa o Hiroama, a mate iho, e mea ana oti koutou, he hara rawa ratou i nga tangata katoa e noho ana i hiruharama?
Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them, do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people who dwell in Jerusalem?
5 Ko taku tenei ki a koutou, Kahore: engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano koutou katoa te mate.
No, I tell you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish.”
6 A i korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite; He piki ta tetahi tangata, he mea whakato ki tana mara waina; na ka haere mai ia, ka rapu hua i runga, a kihai i kitea.
Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but did not find any.
7 Katahi ia ka mea ki te kaimahi waina, Na, ka toru enei oku tau e haere mai ana ki te rapu hua i runga i tenei piki, heoi kahore i kitea: tuaina ki raro; hei aha i maumauria ai hoki te whenua?
So he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and have not found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 Na ka whakahoki tera, ka mea ki a ia, E te ariki, waiho ano hoki i tenei tau, kia keria ra ano e ahau nga taha, kia maka hoki he wairakau:
But the vinedresser said to him in response, ‘Sir, allow it to remain for this year also, and I will dig around it and put manure on it.
9 A ki te whai hua a houange, ka waiho; ki te kahore, mau e tua ki raro.
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, yoʋ can cut it down in the coming year.’”
10 A i roto ia i tetahi o nga whare karakia e whakaako ana i te hapati.
One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues.
11 Na ko tetahi wahine, he wairua ngoikore tona, kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau, piko tonu, kihai rawa i ahei te whakatika ake.
And behold, there was a woman who had suffered from a spirit of disability for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand up completely straight.
12 A, no te kitenga o Ihu i a ia, ka karanga atu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E kui, ka oti tou ngoikore te whakamatara.
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, yoʋ are set free from yoʋr disability.”
13 Na whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ia: a kihai i aha kua tika, whakakororia ana i te Atua.
Then he laid his hands on her, and at once her back was made straight, and she began glorifying God.
14 Na, he riri nona mo Ihu i whakaora i te hapati, ka korero te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea ki te mano, E ono nga ra e tika ai te tangata te mahi: hei reira koutou haere mai ai kia whakaorangia; kauaka i te hapati.
But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd in response, “There are six days in which work should be done; so come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath day.”
15 Na ka whakahoki te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, E nga tangata tinihanga, e kore ianei tenei tangata, tenei tangata o koutou e wewete i tana kau i te hapati, i tana kaihe ranei, ka arahi atu ai i te turanga ki te whakainu?
Then the Lord said to him in response, “Hypocrites! Do not each of you on the Sabbath untie yoʋr ox or donkey from the manger, lead it away, and give it water?
16 Kahore ranei tenei wahine, he tamahine nei na Aperahama, i herea nei e hatana i enei tau tekau ma waru, e tika kia wetekina i tona here i te ra hapati?
Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17 A, no ka korerotia enei mea e ia, ka whakama katoa te hunga e whakahe na ki a ia: a hari katoa te mano ki nga mea kororia katoa i meinga e ia.
When he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame, and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.
18 Na ka mea ia, He rite te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? a me whakarite e ahau ki te aha?
Then Jesus said, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?
19 He rite ki te pua nani, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tana kari; a ka tupu, ka whakarakau; no ka noho nga manu o te rangi ki ona manga.
It is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”
20 A i mea ano ia, Me whakarite e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha?
Again he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God?
21 He rite ki te rewena i tangohia e tetahi wahine, a whaongia ana ki roto ki nga mehua paraoa e toru, no ka rewenatia katoa.
It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour until it had all been leavened.”
22 A ka haereerea e ia nga pa, nga kainga, whakaako ai, me te ahu tonu ki Hiruharama.
Then Jesus traveled through towns and villages, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 Na ka mea tetahi ki a ia, E te Ariki, he torutoru koia te hunga e ora? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou,
Someone said to him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” Jesus said to them,
24 Kia kaha te tohe ki te tomo ma te kuwaha kuiti: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e whai ki te tomo, a e kore e taea.
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to.
25 Kia whakatika kau te tangata i te whare, kia tutakina te tatau, katahi koutou ka anga ka tu i waho, ka patuki ki te tatau, ka mea, E te Ariki, uakina ki a matou; na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i mohio ki a koutou, no hea ran ei;
Once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will answer you, ‘I do not know you or where you are from.’
26 Ko reira koutou timata ai te mea, Kua kai matou, kua inu i tou aroaro, i whakaako ano koe i o matou huarahi.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in yoʋr presence, and yoʋ taught in our streets.’
27 A ka ki ano ia, Ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, kahore ahau i matau ki a koutou, no hea ranei; mawehe atu i a ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.
But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know you or where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of unrighteousness.’
28 Ko te wa tena o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho, ina kite koutou i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, i nga poropiti katoa, kei te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a ko koutou kua maka ki waho.
In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves cast out.
29 A ka haere mai ratou i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, i te hauraro, i te tonga, ka noho ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.
30 Na, tera etahi o muri e meinga ki mua, me etahi o mua ki muri.
And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
31 I taua haora ano ka tae mai etahi parihi, ka mea ki a ia, haere, whakarerea a konei: e hiahia ana hoki a Herora kia whakamatea koe.
On that same day some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, “Leave this place and go somewhere else, for Herod wants to kill yoʋ.”
32 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere, mea atu ki taua pokiha, Na, tenei ahau te pei rewera nei, te mahi nei i te mahi whakaora aianei, apopo, a i te toru o nga ra ka oti taku.
But he said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Behold, I will continue casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work.’
33 Otiia me haereere ahau aianei, apopo, a tahi ra: e kore hoki e ahei kia mate he poropiti i waho o Hiruharama.
Nevertheless, I must go on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day; for it is unthinkable that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe; ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro ki ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to yoʋ! How often I have wanted to gather yoʋr children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 Na, ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e mea ai koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will certainly not see me again until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
