Maka 12
1 Na ka timata ia ki te korero kupu whakarite ki a ratou. I whakataiepatia ana ki te taiepa, na ka keria te takotoranga waina, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, na ko tona haerenga ki tawhiti.
AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
2 A i te po i tika ai ka tonoa e ia he pononga ki nga kaimahi ki te tiki i etahi hua o te mara waina i a ratou.
And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, a whiua ana, tonoa kautia atu ana.
But they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Na ka tonoa ano e ia ki a ratou tetahi atu pononga; a ka akina ia e ratou ki te kohatu, ngawha iho tona matenga, a ka tukinotia ia e ratou ka tonoa atu.
And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Na ka tonoa ano e ia tetahi atu; a whakamatea iho ia e ratou; me era atu, tona tini, ko etahi i whiua, ko etahi i whakamatea.
And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed.
6 Na kotahi ake ano tana, he tama aroha nana, ko ia o muri rawa i tonoa ai e ia ki a ratou, i mea hoki ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.
Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 Na ka mea aua kaimahi ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, a mo tatou te kainga.
But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
8 Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, whakamatea iho, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina.
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 Na, ka pehea te rangatira o te mara waina? ka haere ia, ka whakangaro i nga kaimahi, ka hoatu te mara waina ki etahi atu.
What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others.
10 Kahore koia koutou i kite i tenei karaipiture; Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga kua meinga hei mo te kokonga:
Have ye never read this scripture? “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
11 Na te Ariki tenei, a he mea whakamiharo hoki ki a tatou kanohi?
this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.”
12 Na ka whai ratou kia hopukina ia, otiia i mataku i te mano: i matau hoki ratou mo ratou te kupu whakarite i korerotia nei e ia: na whakarerea ana ia, haere ana ratou.
And they sought to seize him, and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them: and leaving him, they departed.
13 Na ka tonoa mai e ratou ki a ia etahi o nga parihi, ratou ko nga Heroriana, hei hopu mo tetahi kupu ana.
And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in discourse.
14 A, no to ratou taenga mai, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, e matau ana matou he kupu pono tau, e kore ano ta te tangata e whakaaroa e koe; e kore ano koe e titiro ki te kanohi tangata, engari ka whakaako i te ara a te Atua i runga i te pono. H e mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, ehara ranei?
And they come and say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Me hoatu ranei e matou, kaua ranei e hoatu? Otira i mohio ia ki to ratou tinihanga, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakamatautau ai i ahau? mauria mai he pene ki ahau, kia kite ahau.
shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 A mauria ana mai. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, No wai tenei ahua me te tuhituhinga? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No Hiha.
And they brought it. And he said unto them, Whose figure and inscription is this? they say unto him, Caesar’s.
17 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Hoatu ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha, ki te Atua nga mea a te Atua. A miharo ana ratou ki a ia.
And Jesus addressing them, said, Render the things which are Caesar’s, to Caesar; and what belongs to God, to God. And they marvelled at him.
18 Na ka haere mai ki a ia nga Haruki, e mea nei kahore he aranga; ka ui ki a ia, ka mea,
And the Sadducees come to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying,
19 E te kaiwhakaako, i tuhituhi a Mohi ki a matou, Ki te mate te tuakana o tetahi tangata, mahue iho tana wahine, kahore he tamariki hei waihotanga iho, me tango tana wahine e tona teina, ka whakatupu uri ai mo tona tuakana.
Master, Moses left it in writing for us, that if a man’s brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children; that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
20 Na tera tetahi whanau, tokowhitu, he tuakana, he teina: ka tango to mua i te wahine, ka mate, a kahore he uri hei waihotanga iho.
Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no issue:
21 Katahi ka tango te tuarua i a ia, ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona uri hei waihotanga iho: pera tonu ano hoki te tuatoru.
and the second took her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like manner.
22 I tango ano te tokowhitu i a ia, a kahore o ratou uri hei waihotanga iho: muri rawa iho ka mate ko te wahine.
And the seven had her, and left no issue. Last of all died also the wife.
23 Na, i te aranga, i te mea ka ara ratou, ma wai o ratou te wahine? he wahine hoki ia na ratou tokowhitu.
In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had the very same wife.
24 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te mea i he ai koutou, kahore nei hoki e mohio ki nga karaipiture, ki te kaha hoki o te Atua?
And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God?
25 I te mea hoki ka ara mai ratou i te hunga mate, e kore e marena, e kore ano e hoatu kia marenatia; engari ka rite ki nga anahera o te rangi.
For when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage; but they are as the angels which are in heaven.
26 Na mo te hunga mate, mo to ratou aranga mai: kahore koutou i kite i roto i te pukapuka a Mohi, i te wahi ki te Rakau, i ta te Atua i ki ai ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko te Atua ahau o Aperahama, ko te Atua o Ihaka, ko te Atua o Hakopa?
But concerning the dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Ehara ia i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari he Atua no te hunga ora: na nui atu to koutou he.
He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous.
28 A, ko te haerenga mai o tetahi o nga karaipi, ko te rongonga ki a ratou e totohe ana, ka kite he pai tana whakahoki ki a ratou, ka ui ki a ia, Ko tehea te tuatahi o nga ture katoa?
And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 Na ko te whakahokinga a Ihu ki a ia, Ko te tuatahi o nga ture katoa, Whakarongo, e Iharaira: Ko te Ariki, ko to tatou Atua, he Ariki kotahi:
Then Jesus replied to him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord:
30 Kia whakapaua hoki tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, tou kaha, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua: ko te ture tuatahi tenei.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.
31 Ko te tuarua tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe. Kahore he ture ke atu e rahi ake ana i enei.
And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these.
32 Na ka mea te karaipi ki a ia, he pono, e te Kaiwhakaako, he tika tau korero kotahi tonu ia, a kahore tetahi ko ia anake:
And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other besides him:
33 A ko te whakapau i te ngakau, i te hinengaro, i te wairua, i te kaha, ki te aroha ki a ia, me te aroha ki tona hoa tata, ano ko ia, nui atu ena i nga tahunga tinana, i nga patunga tapu katoa.
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and sacrifices.
34 A, no te kitenga o ihu he kupu mohio tana i whakahoki ai, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore koe i matara atu i te rangatiratanga o te Atua. A kihai tetahi tangata i maia ki te ui ki a ia i muri iho.
And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.
35 Na ka ki a Ihu, ka mea, i a ia e whakaako ana i roto i te temepara, Na te aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, he tama na Rawiri a te Karaiti?
And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David?
36 Na Rawiri ake hoki te kupu i roto i te Wairua Tapu, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet.
37 Ko Rawiri tonu tenei e karanga nei ki a ia he Ariki; a no hea ia i tama ai ki a ia? A ahuareka ana te mano tini ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.
38 Na i mea ano ia ki a ratou i tana akoranga, Kia tupato ki nga karaipi, ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko te haereere i roto i nga kakahu roroa, me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko,
And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse,
39 Me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari:
and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the first couch at suppers:
40 Ka pau nei i a ratou nga whare o nga pouaru, a ka maminga ki te inoi roa: he nui rawa te mate e pa ki enei.
who devour widows’ houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.
41 A ka noho a Ihu i te ritenga atu o te takotoranga moni, ka matakitaki ki te mano e panga moni ana ki te takotoranga moni: a he tokomaha nga tangata whai taonga i panga moni maha ki roto.
And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many pieces.
42 Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi pouaru rawakore, ka maka i nga mea nohinohi, e rua, kotahi patena ki te huia.
And one poor widow coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
43 Na ka karangatia e ia ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai, nui atu i a ratou katoa e maka ra kite takotoranga moni:
And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
44 Ko ratou katoa hoki, he hira nei o ratou taonga, i maka ko tetahi wahi; tena ko ia i tona rawakoretanga i maka i ana mea katoa, ara i tona oranga katoa.
for all they have cast in of their superfluities; but she from her indigence hath cast in all that she had, even her whole substance.
