Matiu 11
1 A, ka mutu ta Ihu whakarite korero ki ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua, ka haere atu ia i reira ki te whakaako, ki te kauwhau ki o ratou pa.
And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Na, i te rongonga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere ki nga mahi a te Karaiti, ka tonoa e ia etahi o ana akonga,
Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 Ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei tenei e haere mai nei, me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
4 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a raua, Haere, korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e rongo nei, e kite nei korua:
And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:
5 Ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera e meinga ana kia ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, a e kauwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore.
the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news.
6 A ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.
7 A, i a raua e haere atu ana, ka timata a Ihu, ka korerotia a Hoani ki te mano, I haere koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 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 maeneene.
But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.
9 Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu ano i te poropiti.
But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Ko ia hoki tenei mona te mea i tuhituhia, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara ki mua i a koe.
For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.
11 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ano i maea ake i roto i nga whanau a te wahine he rahi ake i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: heoi rahi ake i a ia te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 A no nga ra mai ano i a Hoani Kaiiriiri a mohoa noa nei e tukinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, a e riro ana ia i te ringa kaha o nga tangata taikaha.
And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.
13 No te mea i poropiti nga poropiti katoa me te ture a taea noatia a Hoani.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 A, ki te pai koutou koia ra, ko Iraia tenei, i meinga ra e haere mai ana.
And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.
15 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Otiia me whakarite e ahau tenei whakatupuranga ki te aha? E rite ana ki nga tamariki e noho ana i nga wahi hokohoko, e karanga ana ki o ratou hoa,
But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,
17 E mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani mai; aue noa matou ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i tangi mai.
and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.
18 I haere mai hoki a Hoani, kihai i kai, kihai i inu, heoi e mea ana ratou, He rewera tona.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
19 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai me te inu, ka mea ratou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara! Otira ma ana mahi e whakatika te whakaaro nui.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
20 Katahi ia ka anga ka tawai ki nga pa i meinga ai te maha o ana merekara, mo ratou kihai i ripeneta:
Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.
21 Aue, te mate mou, e Korahina! aue, te mate mou, e Petahaira! me i meatia ki Taira, ki Hairona nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a korua, kua ripeneta ke raua, he taratara te kakahu me te oke i te pungarehu.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to Taira raua ko Hairona e mama i te ra whakawa i to korua.
Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
23 Me koe hoki, e Kaperenauma, e whakateiteitia ranei koe a tae noa ki te rangi? ka heke koe ki te reinga: me i meatia hoki ki Horoma nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a koe, kua tu tonu tera a taea noatia tenei ra. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma e mama i tou i te ra whakawa.
Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 I taua wa ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, He whakawhetai atu taku ki a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi o te whenua, no te mea kua huna e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mahara, a hurahia ana ki nga kohungahunga.
Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.
26 Ae ra, e Pa; i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.
Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.
27 Kua tukua mai nga mea katoa ki ahau e toku Matua: a kahore tetahi e matau ki te Tama, ko te Matua anake; kahore hoki tetahi e matau ki te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ki a ia.
All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
28 Haere mai ki ahau, e koutou katoa e mauiui ana, e taimaha ana, a maku koutou e whakaokioki.
Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Tangohia taku ioka ki runga ki a koutou, kia whakaakona koutou e ahau; he ngakau mahaki hoki toku, he ngakau papaku: a e whiwhi koutou ki te okiokinga mo o koutou wairua.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls.
30 He ngawari hoki taku ioka, he mama taku pikaunga.
For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.
