Matiu 21
1 A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Oriwa, ka tonoa atu e Ihu nga akonga tokorua,
When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples ahead,
2 Ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; na ka kite tonu korua i tetahi kaihe e here ana me tana kuao: wetekia, ka arahi mai ki ahau.
telling them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with it. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 A, ki te whai kupu tetahi tangata ki a korua, ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a raua mana; na ka tukua tonutia mai raua e ia.
If anyone says anything to you, say, ‘The Lord has need of them.’ And immediately he will send them.”
4 I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,
Now all this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:
5 Mea atu ki te tamahine o Hiona, Na, ko tou kingi e haere mai na ki a koe, he ngakau mahaki tona, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao hoki, i te tama a te kaihe.
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, yoʋr king is coming to yoʋ, humble and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 Na haere ana nga akonga, meatia ana ta Ihu i mea ai ki a raua.
So the disciples went and did just as Jesus had directed them.
7 Arahina mai ana te kaihe me te kuao, wharikitia ana ki runga o raua kakahu, a noho ana ia ki runga.
They brought the donkey and the colt and laid on them their garments, and Jesus sat on them.
8 A he nui rawa te hui ki te whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara; ko etahi i tapahi manga mai i nga rakau, a wharikitia ana ki te ara.
A very large crowd spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees and also spread them on the road.
9 Ko nga mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri: Ka whakapaingia tenei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; Ohana i runga rawa.
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 A, no ka uru ia ki Hiruharama, ka oho katoa te pa, ka mea, Ko wai tenei?
As he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.
So the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 A ka tomo a Ihu ki te temepara o te Atua, na peia katoatia ana e ia te hunga e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana i roto i te temepara, turakina ake nga tepu a nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me nga nohoanga o te hunga hoko kukupa,
Then Jesus entered the courts of God's temple and drove out all who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.
13 A ka mea ki a ratou, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Ka kiia toku whare he whare inoi; heoi kua oti nei te mea e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.
And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.”
14 A i haere mai ki a ia ki roto ki te temepara nga matapo me nga kopa; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.
Then the lame and the blind came to him in the temple courts, and he healed them.
15 No te kitenga ia o nga tohunga nui, o nga karaipi i nga mea whakamiharo i meatia e ia, i nga tamariki hoki e karanga ana i te temepara, e mea ana, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri; ka riri ratou,
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did and the children crying out in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant
16 Ka mea ki a ia, E rongo ana koe ki ta enei e mea nei? Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ae ra; kiano koutou i kite noa, Pumau tonu i a koe te whakamoemiti a te waha o nga kohungahunga, o nga mea ngote u?
and said to him, “Do yoʋ hear what these children are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes, have you never read, ‘Out of the mouths of babies and nursing infants yoʋ have prepared praise’?”
17 A ka mahue ratou i a ia, haere ana ia ki waho o te pa, ki Petani; a moe ana i reira.
And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
18 Na, i te ata, i a ia e hoki ana ki te pa, ka hiakai ia.
Early in the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, he was hungry.
19 A, i tona kitenga i tetahi piki i te taha o te ara, ka haere ia ki taua rakau, heoi kihai i kitea tetahi mea i runga, he rau anake; ka mea ia ki te rakau, Kei whai hua koe a ake ake. A maroke tonu ake te piki. (aiōn g165)
Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. Then he said to it, “May there never be any fruit from yoʋ again!” And at once the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 A, no te kitenga o nga akonga, ka miharo, ka mea, I peheatia i hohoro ai te maroke o te piki nei?
When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, “How did the fig tree wither all at once?”
21 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Me he whakapono to koutou, kahore i ruarua te whakaaro, e kore e meatia e koutou ko tenei anake i meatia nei ki te piki, engari ahakoa mea noa koutou ki tenei maunga, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakataka ki te moana; ka meatia.
Jesus answered them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
22 Ko nga mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina inoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou.
And if you have faith, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
23 A, ka tae ia ki roto ki te temepara, ka haere mai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua o te iwi, i a ia ano e ako ana, a ka mea, Tena koa te mana i meatia ai enei mea e koe? na wai i hoatu tenei mana ki a koe?
When he entered the temple courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? And who gave yoʋ this authority?”
24 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, ki te korerotia e koutou ki ahau, maku hoki e korero ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question. If you tell me the answer, I will also tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
25 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no hea koia? no te rangi, no nga tangata ranei? A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; e mea mai ia ki a tatou, Ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?
Where did John's authority to baptize come from? From heaven or from men?” So they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
26 A, ki te mea tatou, No nga tangata; ka wehi tatou i te mano; ki ta ratou katoa hoki he poropiti a Hoani.
But we are afraid of what the crowd might do if we say, ‘From men,’ for everyone regards John as a prophet.”
27 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Ihu, ka mea, Kahore matou e mohio. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” Then he said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
28 Na e pehea ana to koutou whakaaro? Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata; a ka haere ia ki to mua, ka mea, E tama, haere ki te mahi aianei ki taku mara waina.
“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to his first son and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e pai: otira i muri iho ka puta ke tona whakaaro a haere ana.
His son answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind and went.
30 A ka haere mai ia ki te tuarua, ka pera ano tana kupu. No ka whakahoki tera, ka mea, E kara, ka haere ahau: a kihai i tae.
Then the man went to his second son and said the same thing. His second son answered, ‘I will go, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 Ko wai o taua tokorua i mea i ta tona matua i pai ai? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko to mua. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau e tika ana i mua i a koutou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.
32 I haere hoki a Hoani ki a koutou ra te ara o te tika, a kihai koutou i whakapono ki a ia: tena ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau i whakapono ki a ia: ko koutou ia, i to koutou kitenga, kihai i puta ke o koutou whakaaro i muri, kihai i whaka pono ki a ia.
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes believed him. Yet even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.
33 Whakarongo ki tetahi atu kupu whakarite: Tera tetahi rangatira whare i whakato i te mara waina, a taiepatia ana a taka noa, keria ana e ia te takahanga waina i roto, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, a haere ana ia ki tawhiti:
“Listen to another parable: There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it to farmers, and left the country.
34 A, no ka tata te po hua, ka tonoa e ia ana pononga ki nga kaimahi, ki te tiki i ona hua.
When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35 Na ka mau nga kaimahi ki ana pononga, whiua ana tetahi, whakamatea ana tetahi, a akina ana tetahi ki te kohatu.
But the farmers seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned yet another.
36 Na ka tonoa ano e ia etahi atu pononga, he tokomaha atu i o mua: heoi i peratia ano ratou.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the farmers treated them in the same way.
37 Na, muri rawa iho, ka tono ia i tana tama ki a ratou, i mea ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.
Last of all, he sent them his son, saying, ‘They will have respect for my son.’
38 No te kitenga ia o nga kaimahi i te tama, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, ka tango i tona kainga.
But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take possession of his inheritance.’
39 Na ka maru ratou ki a ia, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina, a whakamatea iho.
So they took him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Na, ina tae te rangatira o te mara waina, ka peheatia e ia aua kaimahi?
Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Pouriuri ana aianei tana whakangaro i taua hunga whakarihariha; a ka tukua te mara waina ki etahi atu kaimahi, ki te hunga e tukua ai ki a ia nga hua i nga po hua.
They said to him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa i roto i nga karaipiture, ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei mo te kokonga: na te Ariki tenei, he mea whakamiharo hoki ki o tatou kanohi?
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is amazing in our eyes’?
43 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangohia te rangatiratanga o te Atua i a koutou, a ka hoatu ki tetahi iwi, e puta ai nga hua o taua rangatiratanga.
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
44 Ko te tangata e hinga ki runga ki tenei kohatu, na mongamonga ana ia: ki te taka ia taua kohatu ki runga ki tetahi, na ngotangota noa ia me he puehu.
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
45 A, ka rongo nga tohunga nui me nga Parihi ki ana kupu whakarite, ka mohio mo ratou ana korero.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was speaking about them.
46 Na, i a ratou e whai ana kia hopukia ia, ka wehi i te mano, ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.
Although they were looking for a way to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
