Matiu 18

1 I taua wa ka haere mai nga akonga ki a Ihu, ka mea, Ko wai te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi?

The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?

2 Na ka karangatia e Ihu tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, ka whakaturia e ia ki waenganui i a ratou,

And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,

3 Ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kore koutou e tahuri, a e penei me nga tamariki nonohi, e kore koutou e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.

4 Na, ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, a ka rite ki tenei tamaiti nohinohi, ko ia te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.

5 A, ki te manako tetahi ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi penei, he whakaaro hoki ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ki ahau.

And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.

6 Tena ko tenei, ka he i tetahi tangata tetahi o enei mea nonohi e whakapono nei ki ahau, nui ke te pai ki a ia me i whakawerewerea ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, me i pungaia ia ki te rire o te moana.

But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Aue te mate mo te ao i nga take he! kua tino takoto rawa hoki he putanga mo nga take he; otiia aue te mate no tera tangata e puta ai te take he!

Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.

8 Ki te he koe i tou ringa, i tou waewae ranei, poutoa, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo ki te ora he kopa, he ringa mutu, i te maka ki te ahi ka tonu, he ringa rua, he waewae rua. (aiōnios g166)

Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)

9 Ki te he hoki koe i tou kanohi, tikarohia, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kanohi tahi ki te ora, i te maka kanohi rua ki te kapura o Kehena. (Geenna g1067)

And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)

10 Kia mahara kei whakahawea ki tetahi o enei mea nohinohi: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E titiro tonu ana o ratou anahera i te rangi ki te kanohi o toku Matua i te rangi.

See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.

11 I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.

For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.

12 Pehea to koutou whakaaro? ki te mea he rau nga hipi a tetahi tangata, a ka kotiti ke tetahi, e kore ianei e waiho e ia nga iwa tekau ma iwa, ka haere i runga i nga maunga, rapu ai i te mea i kotiti ke?

How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?

13 A, ki te kitea, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, tera atu, tona hari ki taua hipi, i te hari ki nga iwa tekau ma iwa kihai i kotiti ke.

And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:

14 Waihoki kahore he ngakau o to koutou Matua i te rangi kia ngaro tetahi o enei mea nonohi.

So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.

15 A, ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, haere, korerotia tona hara ki a ia, korua anake: ki te whakarongo ia ki a koe, ka riro i a koe tou teina.

Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.

16 A, ki te kore ia e whakarongo, kawea atu hei hoa mou kia kotahi, kia tokorua ranei, kia mau ai nga kupu katoa i nga mangai o nga kaiwhakarongo tokorua, tokotoru ranei.

But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.

17 A, kite pake ia ki a raua, korerotia ki te hahi: a ki te pake ano ia ki te hahi, me waiho e koe hei tautangata, hei pupirikana.

And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.

18 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko a koutou e here ai i te whenua e herea ano ki te rangi: ko a koutou e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano ki te rangi.

Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.

19 Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te mea ka tokorua o koutou e rite tahi ana nga whakaaro i te whenua mo tetahi mea e inoi ai raua, e meinga ano mo raua e toku Matua i te rangi.

Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.

20 Na, ko te wahi e whakaminea ai te hunga tokorua, tokotoru ranei, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kei reira ahau kei waenganui i a ratou.

For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.

21 Katahi ka haere a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia hia nga haranga o toku teina ki ahau, me taku whakarere noa iho i tona hara? kia whitu?

Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?

22 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E kore ahau e mea ki a koe, Kia whitu: engari, Kia whitu tekau whitu.

Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.

23 Koia ka rite ai te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi kingi, i mea kia korerotia ki a ia ana moni e ana pononga.

Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.

24 A, ka timata ia te ui, ka kawea ki a ia he tangata, tekau mano nga taranata i a ia.

And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.

25 A te whai rawa ia hei utu, ka mea tona ariki kia hokona ia, tana wahine me ana tamariki, me ana taonga katoa, hei whakautu.

And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.

26 Na ka tapapa iho taua pononga, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.

The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.

27 Na ka oho i te aroha te ariki o taua pononga, tuku ana i a ia, a whakarerea noatia iho e ia ana moni tarewa.

Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.

28 Heoi te putanga o taua pononga ki waho, ka kite i tetahi o ona hoa pononga, kotahi rau ana pene i a ia: na hopukia ana e ia, notia iho te kaki, me te ki ano, Utua taku nama.

But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

29 Heoi tapapa ana tona hoa pononga ki ona waewae, ka inoi ka a ia, ka mea, Kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.

Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.

30 A kihai ia i pai: heoi haere ana, maka ana i a ia ki te whare herehere, kia utua katoatia ra ano te nama.

Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.

31 Heoi, no te kitenga o ona hoa pononga i taua meatanga, nui atu to ratou pouri, a haere ana, whakaaturia ana ki to ratou ariki nga mea katoa i meatia.

And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.

32 Katahi ka karanga tona ariki i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, i whakarerea noatia e ahau taua moni tarewa katoa i a koe, nau hoki i inoi ki ahau:

Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.

33 Ehara oti i te tika kia tohungia e koe tou hoa pononga, me ahau hoki i tohu i a koe?

Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?

34 Na ka riri tona ariki, a tukua ana ia ki nga kaiwhakamamae, kia utua katoatia ra ano tana nama.

So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.

35 Tera ano e pera toku Matua i te rangi ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarerea noatia i roto i o koutou ngakau nga he o te teina o tenei, o tenei, o koutou.

So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
