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 came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua 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 village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, 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, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
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, behold, your King comes 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.
The disciples went and did just as Yeshua commanded them,
7 Arahina mai ana te kaihe me te kuao, wharikitia ana ki runga o raua kakahu, a noho ana ia ki runga.
and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he 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 great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and 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 multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hoshia'na to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hoshia'na in the highest!”
10 A, no ka uru ia ki Hiruharama, ka oho katoa te pa, ka mea, Ko wai tenei?
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Yeshua, 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,
Yeshua entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the 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 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.
The lame and the blind 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 wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hoshia'na 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 you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
17 A ka mahue ratou i a ia, haere ana ia ki waho o te pa, ki Petani; a moe ana i reira.
He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped 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 by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (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 marvelled, saying, “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.
Yeshua answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
22 Ko nga mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina inoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou.
All things, whatever you ask 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 he 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? 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.
Yeshua answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise 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 immersion of Yochanan, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask 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 multitude, for all hold Yochanan 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.
They answered Yeshua, and said, “We don’t 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, and he came to the first, 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.
He 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.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t 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.” Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before 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 Yochanan came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might 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:
“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and 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 season for the fruit came 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.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned 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; and they treated them 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.
But afterward he sent to them his son, 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 the farmers, when they saw the son, said amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize 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 and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
40 Na, ina tae te rangatira o te mara waina, ka peheatia e ia aua kaimahi?
When therefore the lord 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 told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
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?
Yeshua said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvellous 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, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing 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 on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
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 perceived that he spoke 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.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
