Matiu 22
1 A ka oho ake a Ihu, ka korero kupu whakarite ano ki a ratou, ka mea,
AND Jeshu answered again by comparisons, and said,
2 Ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi kingi, i whakatakoto marena mo tana tama,
The kingdom of heaven resembles a royal person who made a feast to his son;
3 A tonoa ana ana pononga, hei karanga i te hunga i korerotia ki te marena: heoi kihai ratou i pai ki te haere.
and he sent his servants to call the invited ones to the feast, but they were not willing to come.
4 Ka tono ano ia i era atu pononga, ka mea, Mea atu ki te hunga i korerotia, Na kua rite taku hakari; kua oti aku puru, aku mea momona te patu, a kua rite katoa nga mea: haere mai ki te marena.
And again he sent other servants, and said, Tell the invited ones, Behold, my dinner is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come to the feast.
5 Otira i paopaongia e ratou, haere ana ko tetahi ki tana mara, ko tetahi ki tana hokohoko.
But they despised (it), and went, one to his domain, and another to his business.
6 Na hopukina ana ana pononga e nga mea i mahue, tukinotia ana ratou, a whakamatea iho.
But the rest took his servants and shamefully treated and killed (them).
7 Otiia i riri te kingi: a tonoa atu ana ana taua, whakangaromia ana taua hunga kohuru, tahuna iho to ratou pa.
But when the king heard, he was wroth; and sent his forces and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Katahi ia ka mea ki ana pononga, E rite ana te marena, ko te hunga ia i karangatia kihai i pai.
Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, and those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Na haere koutou ki nga pekanga o nga ara, a tonoa mai ki te marena te hunga katoa e kite ai koutou.
Go therefore into the outlets of the highways, and every one whom you find call to the feast.
10 Na ka haere aua pononga ki nga ara, a huihuia katoatia ana te hunga i kitea e ratou, ana pai, ana kino: na kiki ana te marena i nga manuhiri.
And those servants went forth into the highways, and assembled all whom they found, the bad and the good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests,
11 Otiia, no te tapokoranga, o te kingi kia kite i nga manuhiri, ka kitea e ia i reira he tangata kahore nei ona kakahu marena:
And the king entered to see the guests, and he saw there a man who was not dressed in the garments of a festival.
12 A ka mea ki a ia, E hoa, he aha koe i tomo mai ai ki konei kahore nei ou kahu marena? Heoi kihai ia i kuihi.
And he said to him, My friend, how didst thou enter here, when thou hast not the vestments of the feast? But he was silent.
13 Na ka mea te kingi ki nga kaimahi, Herea ona ringa, ona waewae, kawea atu, maka ki te pouri i waho rawa; ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
Then said the king unto the servitors, Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him forth into the darknesses without: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 He tokomaha hoki e karangatia, he ruarua ia e whiriwhiria.
For many are the called, but few the chosen.
15 Me i reira ka haere nga Parihi, ka runanga ki te pehea e mau ai tetahi kupu ana.
THEN went the Pharishee and took counsel how they might ensnare him in discourse.
16 A ka tonoa ki a ia a ratou akonga me nga tangata piri ki a Herora, hei mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e matau ana matou he pono koe, e whakaako ana koe i te ara a te Atua i runga i te pono, e kore ano ta te tangata e whakaaroa e koe: e kore nei hoki koe e titiro ki te kanohi tangata.
And they sent to him their disciples with (certain) of the household of Herodes, saying to him, Doctor, we know that thou art resolutely true, and (that) the way of Aloha in truth thou teachest; neither carriest thou fear for man, for thou acceptest not the person of men.
17 Tena, korerotia ki a matou, E pehea ana tou whakaaro? He mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, kahore ranei?
Tell us then, how doth it appear to thee? is it lawful to give head-money unto Cesar or not?
18 Otiia i mohio a Ihu ki to ratou whakaaro kino, a ka mea, He aha ta koutou e whakamatautau na i ahau, e te hunga tinihanga?
But Jeshu knew their malice, and said, Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?
19 Tena koa, kia kite ahau i te moni takoha. A mauria mai ana e ratou ki a ia he pene.
Show me the denarius of the head-silver. And they presented to him a denarius.
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, No wai tenei ahua me te tuhituhinga?
And Jeshu said to them, Whose are this image and inscription?
21 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No Hiha. Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Hoatu ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha; ki te Atua ano nga mea a te Atua.
They say, Cesar's. He saith to them, Give then (the things) of Cesar unto Cesar, and (the things) of Aloha unto Aloha.
22 Ka rongo ratou, ka miharo: a mahue ake ia i a ratou, a haere ana ratou.
And when they heard, they wondered, and left him, and went.
23 I taua ra ka haere mai ki a ia nga Haruki, e mea nei kahore he aranga, ka ui ki a ia,
IN that (same) day came the Zadukoyee, affirming to him, (that) there is no life for the dead. And they questioned him,
24 Ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i mea a Mohi, Ki te mate te tangata, a kahore ana tamariki, ma tona teina e marena tana wahine, e whakatupu ake he uri mo tona tuakana.
saying to him, Doctor, Musha has said to us that if a man die having no children, his brother shall take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
25 Na tokowhitu tetahi whanau i a matou, he tuakana, he teina: te marenatanga o te tuatahi, ka mate, a hore ona uri, waiho iho tana wahine ma tona teina.
But there were with us seven brethren: the eldest (of whom) took a wife, and died. And because he had no children, he left his wife unto his brother.
26 Me te tuarua ano, me te tuatoru, puta noa i te tuawhitu.
So also did he who was second, and he who was the third, and unto the seventh of them.
27 A, muri iho i a ratou katoa, ka mate te wahine.
But the last of all the woman also is dead.
28 Na, i te aranga, ma wai o te tokowhitu te wahine? i a ratou katoa nei hoki ia.
In the resurrection, therefore, of whom from these seven shall she be the wife? for all had taken her.
29 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E he ana koutou, te mohio ki nga karaipiture, ki te kaha ano o te Atua.
Jeshu answered and said to them, You do err, because you understand not the scriptures nor the power of Aloha.
30 I te aranga hoki e kore ratou e marena, e kore ano e hoatu kia marenatia, engari ka rite ki nga anahera a te Atua i te rangi.
For in the resurrection of the dead, they take not wives, neither are wives to husbands; but as the angels of Aloha in heaven are they.
31 Na, ko te aranga o te hunga mate, kahore ano koutou i kite i ta te Atua i korero ai ki a koutou, i mea ai,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which has been spoken to you by Aloha, who said,
32 Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, te Atua o Ihaka, te Atua o Hakopa? ehara te Atua i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari no te hunga ora.
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Is'hok, the God of Jakub? But Aloha is not of those who are dead, but of those who are alive.
33 A, no ka rongo te mano, ka miharo ki tana ako.
And when the multitudes heard, they were wonder-struck at his doctrine.
34 No te rongonga ia o nga Parihi, kua kapi i a ia te mangai o nga Haruki, ka whakamine tahi ratou.
BUT when the Pharishee heard that he had silenced the Zadukoyee, they gathered together.
35 Na ka ui tetahi o ratou, he kaiako i te ture, ka whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea,
And one from them, who was skilful in the law, questioned him, tempting him,
36 E te Kaiwhakaako, ko tehea te kupu nui o te ture?
Doctor, which commandment is greatest in the law?
37 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia whakapaua tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.
Jeshu said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy Aloha with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
38 Ko te tuatahi tenei, ko te kupu nui.
This is the commandment, the great and the first.
39 He rite ano te tuarua ki tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
And the second is like unto it, That thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 Kei runga i enei kupu e rua e iri ana te ture me nga poropiti.
On these two commandments hang the law and the prophets.
41 A, i nga Parihi e noho huihui ana, ka ui a Ihu ki a ratou,
while the Pharishee were gathered together, Jeshu questioned them,
42 Ka mea, He pehea o koutou whakaaro ki a te Karaiti? Na wai ia tama? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Na Rawiri.
and said, What say you concerning the Meshicha, -whose son? They say to him, Son of David.
43 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha ra a Rawiri, i a ia e nohoia ana e te Wairua, i karanga ai i a ia he Ariki? i mea hoki ia,
Saith he to them, And how doth David in spirit call him THE LORD? For he said,
44 I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
that the Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I put thine adversaries beneath thy feet.
45 Na, ka kiia nei ia e Rawiri he Ariki, he pehea i tama ai ki a ia?
If, then, David calleth him the Lord, how is he his son?
46 A hore he tangata i ahei te whakahoki kupu ki a ia, kihai rawa ano tetahi i maia ki te ui ki a ia i taua ra iho ano.
And no man could give to him the answer; nor did any man dare again from that day to question him.
