Ruka 17
1 Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga, E kore e taea te whakakahore te putanga o nga take he: otiia aue, te mate mo te tangata e puta ai!
Then he said to his disciples: It is impossible that causes of offense should not come; but alas for him by whom they come!
2 He nui te pai ki a ia ki te whakatarewatia ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, kia maka hoki ia ki te moana, a kia kaua e taka i a ia ki te he tetahi o enei mea nohinohi.
It would be better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.
3 Kia tupato ki a koutou: ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, riria; a ki te ripeneta, murua tona.
Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sin against you, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 A ki te whitu nga haranga ki a koe i te ra kotahi, a ka whitu ona hokinga mai ki a koe, a ka mea, E ripeneta ana ahau; murua tona.
And if he sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to you and say, I repent, you shall forgive him.
5 A ka mea nga apotoro ki te Ariki, Whakanuia to matou whakapono.
And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
6 Na ka mea te Ariki, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, me te pua nani te rahi, ka mea koutou ki tenei hikamaina, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakatokia ki te moana; na ka rongo ki a koutou.
And the Lord said: If you had faith like a grain of mustard, you might say to this sycamine-tree, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it should obey you.
7 Na, ko wai o koutou he pononga tana e parau ana, e tiaki ana ranei i nga hipi, e mea atu ki a ia, i tona hokinga mai i te mara, haere tonu mai, ka noho ki te kai?
Which of you that has a servant plowing, or feeding a flock, will say to him immediately, when he comes in from the field, Go and recline at table?
8 A e kore e mea ki a ia, Taka he hapa maku, ka whitiki ai i a koe, ka tuari mai ki ahau, kia mutu ra taku kai, taku inu; a muri iho ka kai ai koe, ka inu ai?
But will he not say to him, Make ready my supper, and gird yourself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunk; and afterward, you shall eat and drink?
9 E whakawhetai oti ia ki taua pononga, mona i mea i nga mea i whakahaua ai ia?
Does he thank that servant, because he did what was commanded? I think not.
10 Waihoki ko koutou, ka oti nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou, ka ki atu, He pononga huakore matou; ko ta matou i mea ai ko te mea ano i whakaritea kia mahia e matou.
So also you, when you shall have done all things that you arc commanded to do, say, We are unprofitable servants; for we have done what was our duty to do.
11 Na, i a ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama, ka haere ia ra waenganui o Hamaria, o Kariri.
And it came to pass, as he was journeying to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 A, i a ia e tomo ana ki tetahi kainga, kotahi tekau nga tangata i tutaki ki a ia, he repera, na, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti:
And as he entered a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood at a distance.
13 Ka karanga, ka mea, E kara, e Ihu, kia aroha ki a matou.
And they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 A, i tona kitenga atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kia kite nga tohunga i a koutou. A i a ratou e haere ana, na kua ma.
And when he saw them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were made clean.
15 A, no te kitenga o tetahi o ratou kua ora ia, ka hoki, a he rahi tona reo ki te whakakororia i te Atua.
But, one of them, seeing that he was restored to health, turned back, and, with a loud voice, glorified God.
16 A takoto tapapa ana ia ki ona waewae, ka whakawhetai ki a ia: a no Hamaria ia.
And he fell on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.
17 A ka oho atu a Ihu, ka mea, Kihai ranei te tekau i whakarangia? a kei hea nga tokoiwa?
And Jesus answered and said: Were not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 Heoi ano nga mea i kitea e hoki mai ana ki te homai i te kororia ki te Atua, ko tenei tangata iwi ke.
Were there none found to return and give glory to God, but this one of another race?
19 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika, haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai.
And he said to him: Arise, and go; your faith has saved you.
20 A, i te uinga a nga Parihi ki a ia, ko a hea puta mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore e kitea te putanga mai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said: The kingdom of God comes not so as to attract attention;
21 E kore ano ratou e mea, Na, tenei! na, tera! kei roto hoki i a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua:
nor shall it be said, Lo here! or Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is among you.
22 A ka mea ia ki nga akonga, Tera e tae mai nga ra e hiahia ai koutou kia kite i tetahi o nga ra o te Tama a te tangata, a e kore koutou e kite.
And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.
23 A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.
And they shall say to you, Lo here! or Lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.
24 Ka rite hoki ki te uira e hoko mai ana i tetahi wahi i raro o te rangi: a tiaho atu ana ki tetahi atu wahi i raro o te rangi; e pera ano te Tama a te tangata a tona ra.
For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven, shines to another part under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 Otiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.
But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa nga ra o te Tama a te tangata.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 E kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e marena ana, e tukua ana ki te marena, taea noatia te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki te aaka, a, ko te putanga mai o te waipuke, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.
They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day in which Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 Ka rite ano hoki ki nga ra i a Rota; e kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana, e whakato ana, e hanga whare ana.
In like manner also, as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 Heoi i te ra i puta mai ai a Rota i Horoma, ka uaina he kapura, he whanariki i te rangi, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.
but in the day in which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 Ka pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.
Even thus shall it be in the day in which the Son of man is revealed.
31 I taua ra, kei runga tetahi i te whare, me ona taonga hoki i roto i te whare, kaua ia e heke iho ki te tiki i aua mea: ko te tangata hoki i te mara, kaua ia e hoki atu ki nga mea o muri.
In that day, let not him that is on the house-top, and whose goods are in the house, come down to take them away. Likewise, he that is in the field, let him not turn back.
32 Kia mahara ki te wahine a Rota.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Ki te whai tetahi kia ora ia, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, ka ora ano ia.
Whoever will seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life, shall save it.
34 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, I taua po tokorua i te moenga kotahi; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
I say to you, on that night two men shall be in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
35 Tokorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Tokorua nga tangata i te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko hea, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te wahi i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga ekara.
And they answered and said to him. Where, Lord? And he said to them: Where the body is, there will the vultures be gathered.
