Ruka 19
1 A ka tomo ia, a tika ana ra waenganui o Heriko,
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 Na ko tetahi tangata, ko Hakiaha te ingoa i huaina ai, he rangatira pupirikana, he tangata taonga ano:
There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.
3 I whai ia kia kite i a Ihu he pehea ranei ia: heoi kihai i taea ia i te mano, he tangata poto hoki.
And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.
4 Na ka oma ia ki mua, a kake ana ki tetahi hokamora, kia kite i a ia: meake hoki ia tika ra reira.
So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.
5 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki taua wahi, ka titiro ake, ka mea ki a ia, E Hakiaha, kia hohoro te heke iho; me noho hoki ahau ki tou whare aianei.
As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."
6 A hohoro tonu tona heke iho, a ka koa ki a ia hei manuhiri mana.
He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.
7 A, i to ratou kitenga, ka amuamu katoa, ka mea, Kua riro ia ki te tangata hara noho ai.
When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Na ka tu a Hakiaha, ka mea ki te Ariki, E te Ariki, na e hoatu ana e ahau te hawhe o aku taonga ki te hunga rawakore; a, ki te mea kua riro he mai i ahau te mea a tetahi, ka takiwhatia e ahau taku utu.
But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."
9 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, Nonaianei te ora i tae mai ai ki tenei whare, he tama nei hoki ia na Aperahama.
"Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.
10 I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te rapu, ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."
11 A, i a ratou e whakarongo ana ki enei mea, ka korerotia ano e ia tetahi kupu whakarite, no te mea e tata ana ia ki Hiruharama, e mea ana hoki ratou, ko taua wa pu ano whakakitea ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 Na reira ia ka mea, I haere tetahi rangatira nui ki tetahi whenua mamao, kia riro mai i a ia tetahi rangatiratanga, ka hoki mai ai.
So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.
13 Kotahi tekau ana pononga i karangatia e ia, kotahi tekau nga pauna i hoatu e ia ki a ratou, ka mea ki a ratou, Mahia enei, kia hoki mai ra ano ahau.
"And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "‘Trade with these until I come.’
14 Otira i kino tona iwi ki a ia, ka tono karere i muri i a ia, ka mea, E kore matou e pai ki tenei hei kingi mo matou.
"But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, ‘We do not wish this man to become our king.’
15 A, i tona hokinga mai, kua riro mai hoki i a ia te rangatiratanga, ka mea kia karangatia ki a ia aua pononga, i hoatu nei e ia te moni ki a ratou, kia kite ai ia i ta tetahi, i ta tetahi i mahi ai.
"And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 Ka tae mai to mua, ka mea, E te ariki, ka ngahuru nga pauna kua mahia ki tau pauna.
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ka pai, e te pononga pai: pono tonu tau mahi i te mea nohinohi rawa, na, hei rangatira koe mo nga pa kotahi tekau.
"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 A, ko te haerenga mai o te tuarua, ka mea, E te ariki, e rima nga pauna kua mahia ki tau pauna.
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 Ka mea ia ki tenei, Hei rangatira ano koe mo nga pa e rima.
"Then he said to him also, ‘You shall be over five cities.’
20 Na, ko te haerenga mai o tetahi, ka mea, E te ariki, na, tau pauna: i te rongoa hoki i ahau i roto i te tauera:
"And the next came to him and said, ‘Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.
21 I mataku hoki ahau i a koe, no te mea he tangata uaua koe: e tango ana koe i te mea kihai i whakatakotoria iho e koe, e kokoti ana i te mea kihai i ruia e koe.
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 Na, ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Kei ta tou mangai he whakaheanga maku i a koe, e te pononga kino. I mohio koe he tangata uaua ahau, e tango ana i te mea kihai i whakatakotoria e ahau, e kokoti ana i te mea kihai i ruia e ahau:
"He said to him, "‘By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.
23 He aha koe te hoatu ai i taku moni ki te peeke, penei kua riro mai taua mea i ahau, me ona hua ano, i toku taenga mai?
"‘Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?’
24 Na ka mea ia ki te hunga e tu tata ana, Tangohia te pauna i a ia, hoatu hoki ki tera i nga pauna kotahi tekau.
"Then to those who stood by, he said, ‘Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, E te ariki kotahi nei tekau ana pauna.
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whai mea tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia; ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko ana mea ake ka tangohia i a ia.
"‘I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.
27 Tena ko aua hoariri oku kihai nei i pai ki ahau hei kingi mo ratou, arahina mai ki konei, ka patu ki toku aroaro.
"‘Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence.’"
28 A, no ka mutu enei korero, ka turia atu e ia ki mua, ka haere ki Hiruharama.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 A, no ka tata ia ki Petapaki, ki Petani, ki te maunga e kiia nei ko to nga Oriwa, na tokorua ana akonga i tonoa e ia.
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 I mea ia, Haere korua ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; a, no ka tomo atu, ka kite korua i tetahi kuao kaihe e here ana, he mea kahore ano i nohoia noatia e te tangata: wetekina, arahina mai.
he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an ass’s colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.
31 Ki te mea hoki tetahi ki a korua, He aha i wetekina ai e korua? kia penei ta korua ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mona.
"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ Simply say, ‘The Master needs it.’"
32 Na, haere atu ana te hunga i tonoa, rokohanga atu, rite tonu ki tana i korero ai ki a raua.
Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.
33 Na, i a raua e wewete ana i te kuao, ka mea ona rangatira ki a raua, He aha korua ka wewete ai i te kuao na?
For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Na ko ta raua meatanga atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia mona.
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 Na ka arahina ia ki a Ihu: a panga iho e raua o raua kakahu ki runga ki te kuao, whakanohoia ana a Ihu ki runga.
So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.
36 A, i a ia e haere ana, ka wharikitia o ratou kakahu ki te huarahi.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki te heketanga o Maunga Oriwa, ka koa te huihui katoa o nga akonga, ka anga ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua, he nui hoki te reo, mo nga merekara katoa i kite ai ratou;
And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.
38 Ka mea, Ka whakapaingia te Kingi e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki: he rongo mau ki runga ki te rangi, he kororia ki runga rawa.
They cried, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest"
39 Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi i roto i te mano ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, riria au akonga.
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, me i noho puku enei, kua karanga ake nga kamaka.
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 A, no ka tata ia, ka kite i te pa, ka tangihia e ia.
And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,
42 Ka mea ia, Me i mohio koe, a koe ano, ahakoa i tenei ra nei ano ou, ki nga mea e mau ai tou rongo! ko tenei kua huna atu i ou kanohi.
exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 Tera hoki e tae mai nga ra ki a koe, e hanga ai e ou hoariri he parepare mou a taka noa, a ka karapotia koe, ka kopania hoki i nga taha katoa.
"The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,
44 A ka whakahoroa koe ki raro, me au tamariki i roto i a koe; e kore ano e waiho tetahi kamaka i runga i tetahi kamaka i roto i a koe; no te mea kihai koe i matau ki te wa i tirohia ai koe.
"you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."
45 A ka tomo ia ki te temepara, ka anga ka pei ki waho i te hunga i reira e hoko ana.
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 Ka mea ki a ratou, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Ko toku whare hei whare inoi: a kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.
saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 A whakaako ana ia i te temepara i ia ra, i a ra. Otiia ka rapu nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi me nga rangatira o te iwi kia whakangaromia ia;
Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.
48 Heoi kihai i kitea ta ratou e mea ai: no te mea e u ana nga tangata katoa ki a ia, e whakarongo ana.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
