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.
Then Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting 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.
He also saw a poor widow there putting in two small copper coins.
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:
So he said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
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 they have all put in gifts for God out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, has put in all that she had to live on.”
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,
Then, as some were talking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts consecrated to God, Jesus 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.
“As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all of them will be torn 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?
So they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that these things are about to take place?”
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.
He said, “Make sure you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Do not go 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.
When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not immediately follow.”
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 up 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.
There will be great earthquakes in various places, along with famines and plagues. There will also be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven.
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 take place, they will arrest you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake.
13 A ka waiho ki a koutou hei tohu whakaatu.
This will lead to opportunities for you to bear witness.
14 Na whakatatutia iho ki o koutou ngakau, kia kaua e whakaaroa wawetia ta koutou kupu e whakahoki atu ai:
Therefore settle it in your hearts not to prepare your defense in advance.
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 to speak and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to refute or 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.
You will even be betrayed by parents, relatives, friends, and brothers, and they will have some of you put to death.
17 Ka kino ano nga tangata katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
You will be hated by all because of my name.
18 Otiia e kore e ngaro tetahi makawe o o koutou upoko.
Yet not a hair of your head will by any means perish.
19 Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.
You must gain your lives by your patient endurance.
20 Otira ka kite koutou i Hiruharama e karapotia ana e nga taua, ko reira koutou mohio ai, kua tata tona whakangaromanga.
“When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that its desolation is 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 those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, those who are in the city must get out, and those who are in the countryside must not enter the city.
22 Ko nga ra hoki enei o te rapunga utu, e rite ai nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi.
For those will be days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is 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.
Woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath against 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.
They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled 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;
“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars, and on the earth there will be distress among the nations as they are perplexed by the roaring sea and the surging waves.
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.
People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is 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.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 A, no ka timata enei mea te puta, titiro ake, kia ara hoki o koutou matenga; ka tata hoki to koutou whakaoranga.
So when these things begin to take place, stand tall and lift up your heads, for your redemption is near.”
29 Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; Titiro ki te piki, ki nga rakau katoa;
Then he told them a parable: “Consider the fig tree and all the other trees.
30 I te mea e pihi ana, na ka kite koutou, ka matau noa ake, kua tata te raumati.
As soon as they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.
31 Waihoki, ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e puta ana, ka matau kua tata te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
So also, when you see these things taking place, know 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, this generation will certainly not pass away until all things have taken place.
33 E pahemo te rangi me te whenua; ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will certainly 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:
“Watch yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.
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 who dwell on the face of the whole 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.
Therefore stay alert at all times, praying that you may be considered worthy to escape everything that will take place, 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.
Each day Jesus taught in the temple courts, but at night he would go out and stay at the mount called Olivet.
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 would come to him early in the morning to listen to him in the temple courts.
