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,
As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
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.
saying to them, “Go into the next village, and you will immediately find a donkey tied up there, and a colt with her. 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 about that, you will say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and that person will immediately send them with you.”
4 I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,
Now this came about that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. He said,
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.
“Tell the daughter of Zion, 'See, your King is coming to you, Humble and riding on a donkey— on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'”
6 Na haere ana nga akonga, meatia ana ta Ihu i mea ai ki a raua.
Then the disciples went and did just as Jesus had instructed 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 put their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat upon the cloaks.
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.
Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in 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.
Then the crowds that went before Jesus and those that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is the one 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?
When Jesus had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred and said, “Who is this?”
11 Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.
The crowds answered, “This is Jesus the prophet from Nazareth in 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 temple. He cast out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold 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.
He said to them, “It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you make 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 blind and the lame came to him in the temple, 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 marvelous things that he did, and when they heard the children shouting in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became very angry.
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?
They said to him, “Do you hear what they are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes! But have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of little children and nursing infants you 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.
Then Jesus left them and 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.
Now in the morning as he returned 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 fig tree along the roadside, he went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “May there be no fruit from you ever again,” and immediately 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 marveled and said, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
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 and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to this fig tree, but you will even say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done.
22 Ko nga mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina inoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou.
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
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 Jesus had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you 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 and said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do 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?
The baptism of John—from where did it come? From heaven or from men?” They discussed 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 if we say, 'From men,' we fear the crowd, because they all view 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.
Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do 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 the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
29 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e pai: otira i muri iho ka puta ke tona whakaaro a haere ana.
The son answered and said, '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 the second son and said the same thing. He answered and said, '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 sons did his father's will?” They said, “The first one.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God before you do.
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, but you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. But you, even when you saw this, you did not repent afterward 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 man, a landowner. He planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a watchtower, and rented it out to vine growers. Then he went into another 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 time of the fruit harvest approached, he sent some servants to the vine growers to get 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 vine growers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned still another.
36 Na ka tonoa ano e ia etahi atu pononga, he tokomaha atu i o mua: heoi i peratia ano ratou.
Again, the owner sent other servants, more than the first, but the vine growers 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.
After that, the owner sent his own son to them, saying, 'They will respect 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 vine growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take over the 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 vine growers?”
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 destroy those miserable men in the most severe way, and will then rent out the vineyard to other vine growers, men who will give him his share of crops at the harvest time.”
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, “Did you never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous 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 say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation that produces its fruits.
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.
Whoever 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 his parables, they understood 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.
Seeking to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowd, because the people regarded him as a prophet.
