Matiu 19
1 A, ka mutu enei kupu a Ihu, ka turia atu e ia i Kariri, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Huria, ki tawahi atu o Horano;
It came about that when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came to the region of Judea that is beyond the Jordan River.
2 He rahi hoki te hui i aru i a ia; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i reira.
Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine mo tetahi take?
Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?”
4 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa, i hanga raua e te Kaihanga i te timatanga, he tane, he wahine,
Jesus answered and said, “Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?
5 I mea ano ia, Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa, tona wahea, ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua?
He who made them also said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.'
6 Na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko. Na ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one tear apart.”
7 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha ra a Mohi i ako ai kia hoatu he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai i a ia?
They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of divorce and then to send her away?”
8 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tukua ai koutou e Mohi kia whakarere i a koutou wahine: i te timatanga iho ia kahore i pena.
He said to them, “For your hardness of heart, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not that way.
9 A tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, ehara nei i te take moepuku, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.
I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, Ki te penei te tikanga mo te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ehara te marena.
The disciples said to Jesus, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
11 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, E kore tenei kupu e rite i nga tangata katoa, engari i te hunga i hoatu ai.
But Jesus said to them, “Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.
12 He unaka hoki etahi no te whanautanga mai i te kopu o te whaea: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na te tangata: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na ratou ano, he whakaaro hoki ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ki te taea tenei te whakarite e teta hi, mana e whakarite.
For there are eunuchs who were that way from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this teaching, let him receive it.”
13 I reira ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapa ai ia i ona ringa ki a ratou, kia inoi: a riria iho ratou e nga akonga.
Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Na ko te kianga a Ihu, Tukua mai nga tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e araia atu ta ratou haere mai ki ahau: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such ones.”
15 A whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ratou, a haere atu ana i reira.
He placed his hands on the children, and then he went away from there.
16 Na ka haere mai tetahi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he aha te mahi pai maku, e whiwhi ai ahau ki te ora tonu? (aiōnios g166)
Behold, a man came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, He aha ka ui koe ki ahau mo te mea pai? Tera ano tetahi i pai, kotahi tonu: ki te mea koe kia tomo ki te ora, whakaritea nga ture.
Jesus said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good, but if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
18 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ko ehea? Na ka mea a Ihu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka,
The man said to him, “Which commandments?” Jesus said, “Do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
19 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: me tenei, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.
honor your father and your mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
20 Ka mea taua taitama ki a ia, Kua rite i ahau enei mea katoa no toku tamarikitanga: tena hoki tetahi mea e hapa ana i ahau?
The young man said to him, “All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?”
21 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ou taonga, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
22 Na, ka rongo taua taitama i taua kupu, haere pouri ana ia: he maha hoki ona taonga.
But when the young man heard what Jesus said, he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
23 Ka mea a Ihu ki ana akonga, He pono taku kupu ki a koutou, E tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, He ngawari ke atu te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
25 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, nui rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea, Ko wai ra e ora?
When the disciples heard it, they were very astonished and said, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te tangata e kore tenei e taea; ki te Atua ia e taea nga mea katoa.
Jesus looked at them and said, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Katahi ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Na, kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe, he aha ra ma matou?
Then Peter answered and said to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?”
28 Ka ki a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko koutou i aru nei i ahau, kia taea te whanautanga houtanga, te wa e noho ai te Tama a te tangata ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia, ka noho ano koutou ki runga ki etahi torona kota hi tekau ma rua, ki te whakawa i nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new age when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 A, ki te mea kua mahue i tetahi he whare, he teina, he tuahine ranei, he papa, he whaea, he tamariki, he whenua, i tona whakaaro ki toku ingoa, ka tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, a ka whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu. (aiōnios g166)
Every one who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children, or land for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri ki mua.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
