Ruka 20
1 A i tetahi o aua ra, i a ia e whakaako ana i te iwi i roto i te temepara, e kauwhau ana i te rongopai, ka tae mai nga tohunga nui, nga karaipi, me nga kaumatua ki a ia,
And on one of those days as He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes and elders came upon Him, saying,
2 Ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, Korerotia mai ki a matou te mana i mea ai koe i enei mea? na wai hoki i hoatu tena mana ki a koe?
Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who it is that gave thee this authority?
3 Ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku hoki e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu; ma koutou e mea mai ki ahau:
And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one question, tell me,
4 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no te rangi ranei, no te tangata ranei?
Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?
5 A ka korero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; ka mea mai ia, Ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
6 A ki te mea tatou, No te tangata; ka akina tatou e te iwi katoa ki te kamaka: e whakapono ana hoki ratou he poropiti a Hoani
but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Na ka whakahokia e ratou, E kore e kitea no hea ranei.
And they answered, they did not know whence it was.
8 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
And Jesus said unto them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Na ka anga ia ka korero i tenei kupu whakarite ki te iwi; I whakatokia tetahi mara waina e tetahi tangata, a tukua ana ki nga kaimahi, a haere ana ki tawhiti, a maha noa nga ra.
Then He began to speak unto the people this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen and travelled abroad for a considerable time,
10 A i te po i tika ai ka tonoa e ia he pononga ki nga kaimahi, kia hoatu ai e ratou ki a ia etahi o nga hua o te mara waina: otira ka whiua ia e nga kaimahi, whakahokia kautia ana.
and at the fruit-season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty.
11 Na ka tonoa ano e ia tetahi atu pononga: a ka whiua ano ia e ratou, ka tukinotia, whakahokia kautia ana.
And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.
12 Na ka tonoa ano hoki tetahi e ia, te tuatoru: a tukitukia ana ia e ratou, maka ana ki waho.
And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.
13 Na ka mea te rangatira o te mara waina, Me pehea ahau? Ka tonoa e ahau taku tama, taku e aroha nei: tera pea ratou e hopohopo ki a ia.
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him.
14 Otira, no te kitenga o nga kaimahi i a ia, ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ko te rangatira tenei mona te kainga: tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, kia riro mai ai te kainga i a tatou.
But when the husbandmen saw Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Na maka ana ia ki waho o te mara waina, whakamatea iho. Na ka aha te rangatira o te mara waina ki a ratou?
So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Ka haere ia, ka whakangaro i aua kaimahi, ka hoatu te mara waina ki etahi atu. A ka rongo ratou, ka mea, Kauaka.
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.
17 Ka titiro ia ki a ratou, ka mea, He aha ra tenei kua oti nei te tuhituhi, Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei mo te kokonga?
And He looked upon them and said, What then is this, which is written, The stone which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner?
18 Na, ki te hinga tetahi ki runga ki tenei kohatu, mongamonga noa; ki te hinga tenei kohatu ki runga ki tetahi, ngotangota noa ia, ano he puehu.
Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.
19 Na ka whai nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi kia hopukia ia i taua wa ano; ka mataku ratou i te iwi: i mohio hoki ratou i korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite mo ratou.
And the chief priests and the scribes would have laid hands on Him at that very time, but were afraid of the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.
20 Na ka ata tirohia ia e ratou, ka tonoa mai he kaiwhakarongo, ano te ahua kei to te hunga tika, hei hopu mo tana korero, kia tukua ai ia ki te rangatiratanga, ki te kaha o te kawana.
And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 A ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e mohio ana matou he tika tau e korero nei, e whakaako nei, e kore ano e manakohia e koe te kanohi tangata, engari e whakaako pono ana koe i te huarahi o te Atua:
And they asked Him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth:
22 He mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha e matou ki a Hiha, kahore ranei?
is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
23 Otira i kitea e ia to ratou hianga, a ka mea kia ratou, He aha koutou ka whakamatautau nei i ahau?
But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me?
24 Kia kite ahau i tetahi pene. No wai tona ahua me te tuhituhinga? Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea, No Hiha.
Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.
25 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, hoatu rapea ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha, ki te Atua ano nga mea a te Atua.
Then said He unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
26 Heoi kihai i taea e ratou te hopu i tetahi korero ana i te aroaro o te iwi: na ka miharo ratou ki tana kupu, a whakarongo kau ana.
And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.
27 Na ka tae mai etahi o nga Haruki e mea nei kahore he aranga; ka ui ki a ia,
And some of the Sadducees (who deny a resurrection) came to Him and asked Him,
28 Ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i tuhituhi a Mohi ki a matou, Ki te mate te tuakana o tetahi tangata, he wahine ano tana, a ka mate urikore ia, me tango te wahine e tona teina, ka whakatupu uri ai mo tona tuakana.
saying, Moses enjoined us, if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Na, tokowhitu taua whanau; ka tango to mua i te wahine, a mate urikore ana.
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; and the second took the wife, and he died childless;
30 Na ka tango te tuarua i te wahine, a ka mate urikore ano ia.
and the third took her;
31 Na ka tango te tuatoru i a ia; penei ano nga tokowhitu: kahore a ratou tamariki i waiho ai, a mate iho ratou.
and in like manner all the seven.
32 Na muri iho i te katoa ka mate hoki te wahine.
And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
33 Na, i te aranga, ma wai o ratou te wahine? he wahine hoki ia na te tokowhitu.
Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.
34 Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E marena ana, e hoatu ana ki te marena, nga tamariki o tenei ao: (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Tena ko te hunga e paingia ana kia whiwhi ki tera ao, ki te aranga ano i roto i te hunga mate, e kore e marena, e kore ano e hoatu ki te marena: (aiōn g165)
But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 E kore ano ratou e ahei kia mate: e rite ana hoki ki nga anahera; he tama hoki ratou na te Atua, he tama na te aranga.
for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection.
37 Na, ko te aranga o te hunga mate, kua whakakitea mai tena e Mohi i tana mo te rakau, i karangatia ai te Ariki ko te Atua o Aperahama, ko te Atua o Ihaka, ko te Atua o Hakopa.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Na ehara ia i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari no te hunga ora: e ora katoa ana hoki i roto i a ia.
And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
39 Na ka whakahoki etahi o nga karaipi ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he pai tau korero.
And some of the scribes replied, Master, thou hast indeed said right.
40 Kihai hoki ratou i maia ki te ui ano ki a ia i tetahi mea.
And they dared not any more to ask Him any such question.
41 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, na te aha ratou i mea ai he tama na Rawiri a te Karaiti?
And He said unto them, How do they say, that Christ is the son of David?
42 Kua mea nei a Rawiri i te pukapuka o nga waiata, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai,
when David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said unto my Lord,
43 Kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
44 Na ka kiia ia e Rawiri he Ariki, a he pehea i tama ai ki a ia?
David therefore calleth Him Lord, and how is He then his son?
45 A, i te iwi katoa e whakarongo ana, ka mea ia ki ana akonga,
And He said to his disciples, in the audience of all the people,
46 Kia tupato ki nga karaipi, ko ta ratou nei e rawe ai ko nga kakahu roroa ina haereere ratou, e matenui ana ki nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari:
Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in long robes, and love salutations in public places, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
47 Pau ake hoki i a ratou nga whare o nga pouaru, e inoi roa ana hoki, he ahua kau: nui rawa te he e tau ki a ratou.
who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.
