< Ruka 6 >

1 Na i te hapati ka haere ia ra waenga witi; a katohia ana e ana akonga nga puku witi, kainga ake, he mea komukumuku ki te ringa.
And it came to pass on the second-sabbath after the first, that as He was passing through the corn-fields, his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and rubbed them in their hands and ate them.
2 Na ka mea etahi o nga Parihi, He aha koutou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika kia mahia i te hapati?
And some of the pharisees said to them, Why do ye do that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath-days?
3 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kahore ianei koutou i kite i ta Rawiri i mea ai, i a ia e mate ana i te hiakai, ratou ko ona hoa;
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read what David did, when he himself was hungry and those that were with him? how he went into the house of God,
4 I tona tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, ka tango ia i nga taro aroaro, na kainga ana e ia, hoatu ana hoki ki ona hoa; ko nga mea kihai nei i tika kia kainga, engari ma nga tohunga anake?
and did take and eat the shew-bread, and gave also to his attendants, which it is not lawful for any to eat but the priests.
5 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hapati.
And He said unto them, the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath.
6 A i tetahi atu hapati ka tomo ia ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako: i reira ano tetahi tangata, ko tona ringa matau kua memenge.
And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that He went into a synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, whose right hand was withered.
7 Ka titiro whakamau nga karaipi me nga Parihi ki a ia, me kore ia e whakaora i te hapati; kia whai take ai hei whakawakanga mona.
And the scribes and pharisees watched Him to see if He would work a cure on the sabbath: that they might find an accusation against Him.
8 Na ka mohio ia ki o ratou whakaaro, ka mea ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, Whakatika, e tu ki waenganui. A whakatika ana ia, tu ana.
But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man that had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst: and he rose up and stood forth.
9 Katahi ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Maku hoki e ui ki a koutou; He mea tika ranei te mahi pai i te hapati, te mahi kino ranei? te whakaora, te whakamate ranei?
Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing, Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to let it be lost?
10 Na ka tirotiro ia ki a ratou katoa, ka mea ki taua tangata, Totoro mai tou ringa. A pera ana ia: na kua ora ano tona ringa.
And looking round upon them all, He said to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he did so, and his hand was made as sound as the other.
11 Na ki tonu ratou i te honohonoa; ka korerorero ki a ratou ano, me aha ranei a Ihu e ratou.
And they were filled with confusion: and consulted together, what they might do to Jesus.
12 A i aua ra ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te inoi, he inoi tonu tana i te roa o te po ki te Atua.
And in those days He went out to a mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.
13 A, ka ao te ra, ka karangatia e ia ana akonga: ka whiriwhiria e ia kotahi tekau ma rua o ratou, a huaina ana hoki e ia hei apotoro;
And when it was day, He called his disciples to Him: and chose out twelve from among them, whom He also named his apostles:
14 Ko Haimona, i huaina hoki e ia ko Pita, ko tona teina ko Anaru, ko Hemi raua ko Hoani, ko Piripi raua ko Patoromu,
(to wit, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Ko Matiu raua ko Tamati, ko hemi tama a Arapiu, ko Haimona e kiia nei ko Heroti,
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James,
16 Ko Hura tama a Hemi, ko Hura Ikariote hoki, ko ia nei te kaituku.
and Judas Iscariot, who was the traitor: )
17 Na ka heke ngatahi iho ratou, tu ana i tetahi wahi tairite, ratou ko te ropu o ana akonga, me te huihuinga nui o te iwi i Huria katoa, i Hiruharama, i te taha hoki o te moana o Taira, o Hairona, i haere mai nei ki te whakarongo ki a ia, kia whak aorangia hoki o ratou mate;
and He came down the hill with them, and stood in the plain; with the rest of his disciples, and a great multitude of people from all the parts of Judea, and from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 Me te hunga ano e whakatoia ana e nga wairua poke: a whakaorangia ana ratou.
even those that were tormented by impure spirits: and they were healed.
19 I whai ano te mano katoa kia pa ki a ia; i puta hoki he kaha i a ia, a whakaorangia ana ratou katoa.
And all the people endeavoured to touch Him, for there went a divine virtue out of Him, and healed them all.
20 Na ka titiro ona kanohi ki ana akonga, ka mea ia, Ka koa koutou, e nga rawakore: mo koutou hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
And lifting up his eyes on his disciples He said, Blessed are ye though poor; for the kingdom of God is yours.
21 Ka koa koutou e hiakai nei inaianei: ka makona hoki koutou. Ka koa koutou e tangi nei inaianei: e kata hoki koutou.
Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye shall be satisfied. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye shall laugh.
22 Ka koa koutou ina kinongia koutou e nga tangata, ina wehea atu i roto i a ratou, ina tawaia, ina rukea atu to koutou ingoa, ano he mea kino, mo te whakaaro ki te Tama a te tangata.
Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and reject you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as infamous on account of the Son of man.
23 Kia hari i taua ra, me te tupekepeke: he nui hoki to koutou utu i te rangi: i peratia hoki nga poropiti e o ratou matua.
Rejoice in that day, and be exceeding glad; for behold, your reward is great in heaven: for thus did their fathers to the prophets.
24 Otira aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga taonga! kua riro hoki i a koutou to koutou whakamarie.
But wo unto you that are rich; for ye have received your consolation.
25 Aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga e makona ana inaianei! e mate hoki koutou i te hiakai. Aue, te mate mo koutou, mo te hunga e kata ana inaianei! ka aue hoki koutou, ka tangi.
Wo unto you that are full; for ye shall be hungry. Wo unto you that laugh now: for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Aue, te mate mo koutou ka korerotia paitia koutou e nga tangata katoa! i pera hoki o ratou matua ki nga poropiti teka.
Wo unto you when all men speak well of you; for their fathers did the same to the false prophets.
27 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou e whakarongo mai nei, Arohaina o koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou;
But I say unto you my hearers, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 Manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me inoi mo te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou.
bless them that curse you, and pray for them that abuse you;
29 Na ki te pakia tou paparinga e tetahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tetahi; ki te tangohia tou ngeri e tetahi, kaua e kaiponuhia tou koti.
to him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, offer also the other; and let him that taketh away thy cloke, have thy coat too rather than strive with him:
30 Hoatu ki nga tangata katoa e inoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa au mea ki te tangohia e te tangata.
give to him that asketh thee, and from him that taketh thy goods on loan demand nothing.
31 A, ko ta koutou e pai ai kia meatia e nga tangata ki a koutou, meatia ano e koutou ki a ratou.
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them in like manner.
32 Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a ratou.
If ye love only them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even the wicked love those that love them:
33 Ki te atawhai hoki koutou i te hunga e atawhai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e pena ana ano te hunga hara.
and if ye do good offices to them that do good to you, what thanks are due to you? for even wicked men do the same.
34 Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai e ratou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? e tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mo te pera kia whakahokia ki a ratou.
And if ye lend to those from whom ye expect to receive, what thanks are due to you? for sinners also lend to sinners that they may receive an equivalent.
35 Engari kia aroha ki o koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a ratou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua ano e mutu te tumanako; a tera e rahi te whakautu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tamariki ma te Runga Rawa: e atawhai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e w hakawhetai, i te hunga kino.
But do ye love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing from it: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the sons of the most High; for He is kind even to the ungrateful and the wicked:
36 Kia ngawari rapea koutou, kia pera me to koutou Matua e ngawari ana.
be ye therefore merciful as your heavenly Father also is merciful.
37 Kaua e whakawa, a e kore koutou e whakawakia: kaua e whakatau he, a e kore te he e whakataua ki a koutou: houhia te rongo, a e houhia ano te rongo ki a koutou.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Hoatu, a ka homai ki a koutou; he mehua pai, pehi rawa, oioi rawa, purena tonu ta ratou e homai ai ki te kokoru o o koutou kakahu. Ko te mehua hoki e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou.
give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed and shaken down and running over, shall they give into your bosom: for by the same measure, which ye measure with, shall it be measured back again to you.
39 A ka puaki tana kupu whakarite ki a ratou, E ahei ranei te matapo te arahi i te matapo? e kore ranei e taka tahi raua ki te poka?
And He said to them by way of parable, Can a blind man guide a blind man? will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 E kore te akonga e rahi ake i tona kaiwhakaako: engari ka rite ano ki o ratou kaiwhakaako nga tangata katoa kua tino pukengatia.
the learner is not above his teacher, tho' every complete scholar will become as learned as his master.
41 He aha tau e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina, te kite i te kurupae i tou ake kanohi?
But why dost thou look at the chaff in thy brother's eye, and takest no notice of the beam that is in thine own?
42 A me pehea e taea ai e koe te korero ki tou teina, E toku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i roto i tou kanohi; te kite i te kurupae i roto i tou kanohi? E te tangata tinihanga, matua kapea atu e koe te kurupae i roto i tou kanohi, ka tahi koe ka marama ai ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina.
or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother let me take out the splinter that is in thine eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou wilt see distinctly how to take out the chaff that is in thy brother's eye.
43 E kore hoki te rakau ataahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore ano te rakau kino e hua i te hua ataahua.
For that is not a good tree which produceth bad fruit, nor is the tree bad, which produceth good fruit:
44 Ma ona hua tonu ka mohiotia ai tenei rakau, tenei rakau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i nga tataramoa, e kore ano e whakaiia he karepe i runga i te tumatakuru.
for every tree is known by it's fruit; for men do not gather figs from thorns, nor grapes from a bramble.
45 He tangata pai, he pai tana e whakaputa ai i roto i te taonga pai o tona ngakau; he tangata kino, he kino tana e whakaputa ai i roto i nga taonga kino o tona ngakau: he purenatanga hoki no te ngakau nga kupu a te mangai.
A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, E te Ariki, e te Ariki, te mahi i aku e korero ai?
But why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not practise what I teach you?
47 Na, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki aku kupu, a e mahi ana, maku e whakaatu ki a koutou tona rite:
Whosoever cometh unto me, and heareth my instructions, and observeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tetahi whare, i keri, i whakahohonu, a whakatakoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka: a, i te putanga o te waipuke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kihai i taea te whakangaueue: no te mea i u tona hangang a.
he is like a man who in building an house digged deep, and laid the foundation upon a rock; and when a flood came, the torrent beat violently against that house, but could not shake it, for it was founded upon a rock.
49 Tena ko te tangata i rongo, a kihai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tetahi whare ki runga ki te oneone, te ai he turanga: i te pakarutanga o te roma, na hinga tonu iho; a nui atu te pakaru o taua whare.
But he that heareth and observeth not, is like a man that built an house upon the ground without any foundation, which the flood beat violently upon, and immediately it fell down, and the ruin of that house was great.
