Ruka 18
1 Na ka korero ia i tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou mo tenei, kia inoi ratou i nga wa katoa, kia kaua e ngoikore;
And he spoke a parable to them [to this end], that men ought always [to] pray, and not to faint;
2 I mea ia, I tetahi pa tera tetahi kaiwhakawa, he tangata kihai nei i wehi ki te Atua, kihai ano i hopohopo ki te tangata:
Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, neither regarded man.
3 I taua pa ano tetahi pouaru; a ka haere mai tera ki a ia, ka mea, Takitakina toku mate i toku hoa tauwhainga.
And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my adversary.
4 A he roa kihai ia i pai: muri iho ka mea ia i roto i a ia, Ahakoa kahore ahau e wehi ki te Atua, e hopohopo ki te tangata:
And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5 Heoi ka porearea ahau i te pouaru nei, na ka takitakina e ahau tona mate, kei haere tonu mai ka mate ahau i te hoha.
Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6 Ka mea te Ariki, Whakarongo ki ta te kaiwhakawa kino i mea ra.
And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 A e kore ranei te Atua e ngaki i te mate o ana tangata i whiriwhiri ai, e karanga nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, ahakoa whakaroa noa ia ki a ratou?
And will not God avenge his own elect, who cry day and night to him, though he beareth long with them?
8 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ka hohoro ia te takitaki i to ratou mate. Otira ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata, e rokohina mai ranei e ia he whakapono i runga i te whenua?
I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?
9 Na ka korero ano ia i tenei kupu whakarite ki etahi, i whakamanawa nei ki a ratou ano he tika, i whakakorekore ki era atu katoa:
And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Tokorua nga tangata i haere ki te temepara ki te inoi; he Parihi tetahi, ko tetahi he pupirikana.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 Tu ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tana karakia tenei, E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, no te mea kahore ahau e rite ki era atu tangata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, puremu, moku hoki te rite ki tenei pupirikana.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 Takirua aku nohoanga pukutanga i te wiki, e hoatu ana e ahau te wahi whakatekau o aku mea katoa.
I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Ko te pupirikana ia i tu mai i tawhiti, kihai i mea kia anga ake ona kanohi ki te rangi, heoi patuki ana ki tona uma, ka mea, E te Atua, tohungia ahau, te tangata hara.
And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Nui atu te tika o tenei i to tera i te hokinga ki tona whare: ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia a ratou tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otiia, no te kitenga o ana akonga, ka riria atu ratou.
And they brought to him also infants, that he would touch them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
16 Otira ka karangatia atu ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tukua nga tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
But Jesus called them [to him], and said, Suffer little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore rawa ia e tomo ki roto.
Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
18 Na ka ui tetahi rangatira ki a ia, ka mea, E te kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, he aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.
And Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? none [is] good, save one, [that is] God.
20 E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Na ka mea ia, Kua rite i ahau enei katoa no toku tamarikitanga ake.
And he said, All these have I kept from my youth.
22 A, i te rongonga Ihu ki tenei, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore ano i rite i a koe: hokona au mea katoa, ka tuwha atu ma nga mea rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
Now when Jesus heard these things, he said to him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 Na ka rongo ia ki enei mea, ka pouri rawa; he nui hoki ona taonga.
And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 A ka kite a Ihu i a ia, ka mea, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly will they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Erangi hoki te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira e takoto noa ana, he whakauaua rawa ia te tomo o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Na ka mea nga kaiwhakarongo, Ko wai ra e ora?
And they that heard [it], said, Who then can be saved?
27 Otira i mea ia, Ko nga mea e kore e taea e te tangata, ka taea e te Atua.
Then he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 A ka mea a Pita, Na, kua whakarerea nei e matou a matou nei mea, a kua aru i a koe.
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata i whakarere, he whare, he wahine, he tuakana, he matua, he tamariki, i te whakaaro ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua,
And he said to them, Verily I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 A ka mau ia ki te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama, a ka rite katoa nga mea i tuhituhia e nga poropiti mo te Tama a te tangata.
Then he took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 Ka tukua hoki ia ki nga tauiwi, ka tawaia, ka whakatupuria kinotia, ka tuwhaina:
For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and spitefully treated, and spitted on;
33 A ka oti ia te whiu, ka whakamatea: a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.
And they will scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he will rise again.
34 A kihai ratou i matau ki tetahi o enei mea: he mea huna hoki i a ratou tenei kupu, kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
35 A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tera tetahi matapo e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana mana:
And it came to pass, that as he had come nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging;
36 A, i tona rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, He aha tenei?
And hearing the multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta e haere ana.
And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Katahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, E Ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Na ka riria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku: heoi rahi noa ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
And they who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia arahina mai ki a ia: a, no ka tata, ka ui ki a ia,
And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought to him: and when he had come near, he asked him,
41 Ka mea, Kia ahatia koe e ahau? Ka mea ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.
Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
42 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Titiro: na tou whakapono koe i whakaora.
And Jesus said to him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 A titiro tonu ake ia, a aru ana i a ia, me te whakakororia i te Atua: a, no te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise to God.
