Ruka 7
1 A, no ka mutu enei kupu katoa ana, me te whakarongo ano te iwi, ka tomo ia ki Kaperenauma.
After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Kfar-Nahum.
2 Na e mate ana te pononga a tetahi keneturio, meake marere, ko tana hoki i matenui ai.
A certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
3 A, no tona rongonga i a Ihu, ka tono mai ki a ia etahi kaumatua o nga Hurai, hei mea ki a ia kia haere ki te whakaora i tana pononga.
When he heard about Yeshua, he sent to him Jewish elders, asking him to come and save his servant.
4 A, i to ratou taenga ki a Ihu, he kaha ta ratou inoi, ka mea, he pai te tangata e meatia ai tenei e koe:
When they came to Yeshua, they pleaded with him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy for you to do this for him,
5 E aroha ana hoki ia ki to tatou iwi, nana hoki i hanga te whare karakia mo matou.
for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us."
6 Na haere tahi ana a Ihu me ratou. A, i a ia kahore nei i matara i te whare, ka tono te keneturio i etahi hoa ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E te Ariki, kei maumau ngenge noa koe: ehara hoki ahau i te tikanga tangata e haere ake ai koe ki raro i toku tu anui:
Yeshua went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
7 Koia te tae ai toku aro ki te haere atu ki a koe: engari kia puaki mai tau kupu, a ka ora taku pononga.
Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
8 He tangata hoki ahau e whakahaua ana, he hoia ano aku hei whakahaunga maku, na ka mea ahau ki tenei, Haere, a ka haere; ki tetahi atu hoki, Haere mai, a ka haere mai; ki taku pononga ano hoki, Meatia tenei, a ka meatia e ia.
For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go.' and he goes; and to another, 'Come.' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
9 A, i te rongongo o Ihu ki enei mea, ka miharo ki a ia, ka tahuri, ka mea ki te mano e aru ana i a ia, Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, kahore ano ahau i kite i te whakapono hei rite mo tenei te nui, ahakoa i roto i a Iharaira.
When Yeshua heard these things, he was amazed at him, and turned and said to the crowd who followed him, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel."
10 A, rokohanga atu e te hunga i tonoa, i to ratou hokinga atu ki te whare, kua ora te pononga ra.
And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the servant in good health.
11 Na i muri tata iho ka haere ia ki tetahi pa, ko Naina te ingoa: a i haere tahi ana akonga me ia, he rahi hoki te hui.
It happened soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and many of his talmidim, along with a large crowd, went with him.
12 A, ka whakatata ia ki te kuwaha o te pa, na, he tupapaku tera e kauhoatia ana mai, he huatahi na tona whaea, a he poutaru tera: he tokomaha o te pa e haere tahi ana me ia.
And when he drew near to the gate of the city, then look, a man who was dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her.
13 A, i te kitenga o te Ariki i a ia, ka aroha ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Kaua e tangi.
When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said to her, "Do not cry."
14 Na ka whakatata ia, ka pa ki te kauhoa: a tu tonu nga kaikauhoa. Na ko tana meatanga, E tama, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, E ara.
He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, "Young man, I tell you, arise."
15 Na ka noho te tupapaku ki runga, ka anga ka korero. A hoatu ana ia e ia ki tona whaea.
He who was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16 Na ka tau te wehi ki a ratou katoa: ka whakakororia i te Atua, ka mea, Kua puta ake i roto i a tatou he poropiti nui; A, kua titiro mai hoki te Atua ki tana iwi.
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us." and, "God has visited his people."
17 Na haere ana tenei korero mona puta noa i huria, i nga wahi patata katoa ano hoki.
This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea, and in all the surrounding region.
18 A ka korerotia enei mea katoa ki a Hoani e ana akonga.
The talmidim of John told him about all these things.
19 Na ka karangatia e Hoani etahi o ana akonga tokorua, ka tonoa ki te Ariki, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
John, calling to himself two of his talmidim, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
20 A, no te taenga mai o aua tangata ki a ia, ka mea, Kua tonoa mai maua e Hoani Kaiiriiri ki a koe, mea ai, Ko koe ranei tera e haere mai ana? me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
When the men had come to him, they said, "John the Immerser has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?'"
21 I taua wa pu ano he tokomaha te hunga i whakaorangia e ia i nga turorotanga, i nga mate, i nga wairua kino; he tokomaha nga matapo i meinga kia kite.
In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
22 A ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a raua, Haere korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e kite nei, e rongo nei korua; ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera kua ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, e ka uwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore;
Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
23 Na ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
Blessed is he who is not offended by me."
24 A, no te rironga atu o nga karere a Hoani, ka timata ia ki te korero ki te mano mo Hoani, I haere atu koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
When John's messengers had departed, he began to tell the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
25 Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na, kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu whakapaipai, i nga kai papai.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Look, those who are gorgeously dressed, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
26 Ano ra, i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu i te poropiti.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
27 Mona te mea kua tuhituhia nei, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou huarahi i mua i a koe.
This is he of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
28 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Kahore he poropiti nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri i roto i nga whanau a te wahine; heoi rahi ake i a ia te nohinohi rawa o te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
"I tell you, among those who are born of women there is none greater than John, yet he who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 Na, i to ratou rongonga ai, whakatikaia ana ta te Atua e te hunga katoa i rongo, e nga pupirikana ano, i iriiria hoki ratou ki te iriiri a Hoani.
When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been immersed with John's immersion.
30 Ko nga Parihi ia ratou ko nga kaiwhakaako o te ture i whakakahore i ta te Atua whakaaro ki a ratou, kihai nei ratou i iriiria e ia.
But the Pharisees and the Law scholars rejected the counsel of God, not being immersed by him themselves.
31 Me whakarite e ahau nga tangata o tenei whakapaparanga ki te aha? he rite ratou ki te aha?
"To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like?
32 He rite ki nga tamariki e noho ana i te kainga hokohoko, e karanga ana ki a ratou ano, e mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani; aue noa matou ki a koutou, na, kahore koutou i tangi.
They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
33 I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kihai i kai taro, kihai i inu waina; heoi ka mea koutou, he rewera tona.
For John the Immerser came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'
34 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai, me te inu; a ka mea koutou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara!
The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners.'
35 Otira e whakatikaia ana te whakaaro nui e ana tamariki katoa.
Wisdom is justified by all her children."
36 Na ka mea tetahi o nga Parihi ki a ia kia kai tahi raua. A ka tomo ia ki te whare o te Parihi, ka noho.
One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat at the table.
37 Na tera tetahi wahine hara o te pa ka mohio, kei te whare o te Parihi ia e noho ana; na ka kawea mai e ia tetahi pouaka kohatu, he hinu i roto,
And look, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
38 A tu tangi ana i muri i ona waewae, ka anga ka whakamakuku i ona waewae ki ona roimata, ka muru ki nga makawe o tona matenga, ka kihi i ona waewae, ka whakawahi ki te hinu kakara.
Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Na, i te kitenga o te Parihi nana ra ia i karanga, ka korero i roto i a ia, ka mea, Me he poropiti tenei, kua matau ia ki te wahine e pa nei ki a ia, tona peheatanga: he wahine hara hoki.
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner."
40 Na ka korero a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, E Haimona, he kupu taku ki a koe. Ka mea ia, Korero, e te Kaiwhakaako.
Yeshua answered him, "Shim'on, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
41 Na, tokorua nga tangata i a raua te moni a tetahi kaituku moni: e rima rau nga pene i tetahi, e rima tekau i tetahi.
"A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 I te kore nga mea a raua hei whakautu, whakarerea noatia ana e ia ki a raua: tena, ko wai o raua e tino nui tona aroha ki a ia?
When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
43 Na ka whakahoki a Haimona, ka mea, Ki toku whakaaro, ko te tangata nana te mea nui i whakarerea noatia atu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tika rawa tau.
Shim'on answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
44 Na ka tahuri ia ki te wahine, ka mea ki a Haimona, E kite ana koe i tenei wahine? I haere mai ahau ki roto ki tou whare, kahore i homai e koe he wai mo oku waewae; nana ia i whakamakuku oku waewae ki ona roimata, a murua iho ki nga makawe o tona matenga.
Turning to the woman, he said to Shim'on, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
45 Kihai koe i kihi i ahau: tena ko ia, mai o toku taenga mai, kahore ano i tamutu te kihi o oku waewae.
You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Kihai ko i whakawahi i toku matenga ki te hinu; nana ia oku waewae i whakawahi ki te hinu.
You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
47 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, Kua murua ona tini hara; he nui hoki tona aroha; ko te tangata ia he iti nga mea i murua, ka iti ano tona aroha.
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little."
48 A ka mea ia ki a ia, Kua murua ou hara.
He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
49 Na ka anga ona hoa noho ka korero ki a ratou ano, Ko wai tenei, muru rawa hoki i nga hara?
And those who were reclining with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"
50 Na ko tana meatanga ki te wahine, Na tou whakapono koe i ora ai; haere marie.
He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
