Ruka 21
1 Na ka titiro ake ia, ka kite i te hunga taonga, e maka ana i a ratou moni hoatu noa ki te takotoranga moni.
And having looked up, he saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury.
2 A ka kite ia i tetahi pouaru rawakore, e maka ana i nga moni nohinohi rawa e rua ki reira.
And he also saw a certain poor widow there casting in two mites.
3 Na ka mea ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, nui ke ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai i a ratou katoa:
And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast in more than they all.
4 Ko ratou katoa hoki e maka ana ko tetahi wahi o a ratou mea hira noa atu ki roto ki nga moni tuku noa, ko ia o tona rawakoretanga e maka ana i tona oranga katoa.
For all these cast into the offerings of God from their abundance, but this woman from her poverty cast in all the living that she had.
5 A i etahi e korero ana ki te temepara, ka oti nei te whakapaipai ki nga kohatu papai, ki nga whakahere, ka mea ia,
And as some spoke about the temple, that it was adorned with fine stones and gifts, he said,
6 Na, ko enei mea e kite nei koutou, tera e tae mai nga ra e kore ai e toe tetahi kohatu i runga i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.
These things that ye see, the days will come during which there will not be left a stone upon a stone that will not be thrown down.
7 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko a hea enei mea? he aha hoki te tohu ina tata enei mea te puta?
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, when therefore will these things be? And what is the sign when these things are going to happen?
8 A ka mea ia, Kia mahara kei mamingatia koutou: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia: kua tata te taima: na, kei whai i muri i a ratou.
And he said, Watch that ye may not be led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, I am, and, The time has come near. Go ye not therefore after them.
9 Na ka rongo koutou ki nga taua ki nga whakaoho, kaua e mataku: kua takoto hoki te tikanga mo enei mea kia matua puta mai; taihoa ia te mutunga.
And when ye may hear of wars and tumults, do not be alarmed, for these things must first happen, but the end is not straightaway.
10 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Ka whakatika tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga;
Then he said to them, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Tera hoki e puta nga ru nunui, a i nga tini wahi ka pa te matekai me nga mate uruta; me nga mea whakamataku hoki, me nga tohu nunui o te rangi.
And great earthquakes will be in various places, and famines and plagues. And there will be fearful sights and great signs from the sky.
12 A ko mua ake i enei mea katoa pa ai o ratou ringa ki a koutou, tukino ai i a koutou, tuku ai i a koutou ki nga whare whakawa, ki nga whare herehere, me te arahi i a koutou ki nga kingi, ki nga kawana, mo toku ingoa.
But before all these things, they will throw their hands on you, and will persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 A ka waiho ki a koutou hei tohu whakaatu.
But it will go out from you for testimony.
14 Na whakatatutia iho ki o koutou ngakau, kia kaua e whakaaroa wawetia ta koutou kupu e whakahoki atu ai:
Settle therefore in your hearts not to premeditate to make defense.
15 Maku hoki e hoatu ki a koutou he mangai, he matauranga, e kore e taea te whakakahore, te pehi, e o koutou hoa whawhai katoa.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who oppose you will not be able to contradict or to resist.
16 A ka tukua atu koutou e nga matua, e nga teina, e nga whanaunga, e nga hoa; ka whakamatea ano etahi o koutou.
And ye will be betrayed even by parents, and kinsmen, and friends, and brothers. And some of you they will condemn to death.
17 Ka kino ano nga tangata katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
And ye will be hated by all men because of my name.
18 Otiia e kore e ngaro tetahi makawe o o koutou upoko.
And, no, not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.
In your perseverance ye gain your souls.
20 Otira ka kite koutou i Hiruharama e karapotia ana e nga taua, ko reira koutou mohio ai, kua tata tona whakangaromanga.
But when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that the desolation of it has come near.
21 Hei reira kia oma te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga; me te hunga i waenganui ona kia haere atu ki waho; kei haere hoki ki reira te hunga i nga tuawhenua.
Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the midst of it depart out, and let not those in the rural areas enter into it.
22 Ko nga ra hoki enei o te rapunga utu, e rite ai nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi.
Because these are days of vengeance to fulfill all things that are written.
23 Otira, aue te mate o te hunga e hapu ana, o nga mea e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra! e nui hoki te aitua ki te whenua, me te riri ki tenei iwi.
But woe to those who have in the womb, and to those who suckle in those days. For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people.
24 A ka hinga ratou i te mata o te hoari, ka riro parau ki nga iwi katoa: a ka takahia Hiruharama e nga tauiwi, kia rite ra ano nga wa o nga tauiwi.
And they will fall by the jaw of the sword, and will be led away captive into all the nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 A ka whai tohu te ra, te marama, me nga whetu, a ki runga ki te whenua he pawera no nga tauiwi, he tumatatenga ki te haruru o te moana, o te ngaru;
And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, roaring of sea and of tossing,
26 Ka whiti nga tangata i te mataku, i te manawapa ki nga mea e puta mai ana ki te ao: e ngaueue hoki nga mea kaha o nga rangi.
fainting of men from fear, and of anticipation of the things coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 KO reira ratou kite ai i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te kapua, me te kaha, me te kororia nui.
And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.
28 A, no ka timata enei mea te puta, titiro ake, kia ara hoki o koutou matenga; ka tata hoki to koutou whakaoranga.
And when these things begin to happen, stand upright, and lift up your heads, because your redemption approaches.
29 Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; Titiro ki te piki, ki nga rakau katoa;
And he spoke a parable to them. Behold the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 I te mea e pihi ana, na ka kite koutou, ka matau noa ake, kua tata te raumati.
When they are now sprouting, ye know seeing for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 Waihoki, ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e puta ana, ka matau kua tata te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
Even so ye, when ye see these things happening, know ye that the kingdom of God is near.
32 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa e pahemo tenei whakatupuranga, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.
Truly I say to you, that this generation will, no, not pass away until all things happen.
33 E pahemo te rangi me te whenua; ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words may, no, not pass away.
34 Otira kia tupato ki a koutou ano, kei taimaha o koutou ngakau i te kakai, i te haurangi, i nga raruraru o te ao, a ka puta whakarere mai taua ra, ano he reti, ki a koutou:
But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down in debauchery and drunkenness and mundane cares, and that day come upon you sudden.
35 Ka puta hoki ki nga tangata katoa e noho ana i te mata o te whenua katoa.
For it will come like a trap upon all those who sit upon the face of all the earth.
36 Mo konei ra kia mataara, i nga wa katoa kia inoi tonu, kia paingia ai koutou kia mawhiti i enei mea katoa meake nei puta, kia tu hoki i te aroaro o te Tama a te tangata.
Watch ye therefore, making supplication at all times, so that ye may be considered worthy to escape all these things going to happen, and to stand before the Son of man.
37 A i ia ra e whakaako ana ia i roto i te temepara; a ia ia po e haere ana, ka noho i te maunga e kiia nei ko te maunga o nga Oriwa.
And during the days he was teaching in the temple, and going forth the nights, he lodged on the mount that is called Olives.
38 A i te atatu ka haere mai nga tangata ki a ia ki te temepara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
And all the people rose early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
