Luke 12
1 Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees [Separated], which is hypocrisy.
Na kei te huihui ano tera nga mano, tona tini, no ka takatakahi i a ratou ano, a ka anga ia ka korero i te tuatahi tonu ki ana akonga, ka mea, Kia tupato i te rewena o nga Parihi, ara i te tinihanga.
2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.
Kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; kahore hoki tetahi mea ngaro e mahue te mohio.
3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Mo konei ko ta koutou e korero ai i te pouri, ka rangona i te marama; ko ta koutou e kia ai ki te taringa i nga ruma i roto rawa, ka kauwhautia i runga o nga whare.
4 “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, e oku hoa, kaua e wehi ki te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, a muri iho kahore he mea e taea e ratou.
5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead). Yes, I tell you, fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Engari maku e whakaatu ki a koutou ta koutou e wehi ai: E wehi ki a ia kei a ia nei te mana, i muri i tana whakamatenga, ki te maka ki Kehena; ae ra hoki, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, E wehi ki a ia. (Geenna g1067)
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins (a trivial cost)? Not one of them is forgotten by God.
Kahore ianei e hokona nga pihoihoi e rima ki nga patene e rua? a kahore tetahi o ratou e wareware i te Atua?
7 But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Heoi kua oti katoa te tatau nga makawe katoa nei o o koutou matenga. Kaua e wehi: engari koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.
8 “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakaae tetahi ki ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakaaetia ano ia e te Tama a te tangata i te aroaro o nga anahera a te Atua:
9 but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
Ki te whakakahore tetahi i ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakakahoretia ano ia i te aroaro o nga anahera a te Atua.
10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] will not be forgiven.
Ki te korero tetahi he whakahe mo te Tama a te tangata, ka murua tona hara; tena ko te tangata e kohukohua ai te Wairua Tapu, e kore tona e murua.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer, or what you will say;
Ki te kawea koutou ki nga whare karakia, ki nga rangatira, ki te hunga whai mana, kaua e manukanuka ki te pehea, ki te aha ranei e whakahoki atu ai koutou, ki ta koutou ranei e korero ai:
12 for Ruach haKodesh [Spirit of the Holiness] will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”
Ma te Wairua Tapu hoki koutou e ako i taua haora ano ki nga mea e tika ana kia korerotia e koutou.
13 One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
Na ka mea tetahi i roto i te mano ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, mea atu ki toku tuakana, kia wehea mai moku tetahi wahi o te kainga.
14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”
Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, E te tangata nei, na wai ahau i mea hei kaiwhakawa, hei kaiwehewehe i waenganui i a koutou?
15 He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”
I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Kia mahara, kia tupato ki te apo: ehara i te mea ma te nui o nga taonga a te tangata e ora ai ia.
16 He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou, ka mea, Na he nui te hua o te whenua o tetahi tangata whai taonga:
17 He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’
Na ka whakaaroaro ia i roto i a ia, Me pehea ahau? Kahore hoki oku wahi hei putunga mo aku hua.
18 He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
A ka mea ia, Tenei taku e mea ai: ka wawahia e ahau oku whare witi, a ka hanga kia nui: a ka kohikohia ki reira aku hua katoa, me aku taonga:
19 I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.”’
Katahi ahau ka mea ki toku wairua, E toku wairua, ka maha au mea papai kei te rongoa mo nga tau e maha; noho noa iho, e kai, e inu, kia koa te ngakau.
20 “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared— whose will they be?’
Otiia ka mea te Atua ki a ia, Kuware, ko a tenei po ano tangohia ai tou wairua i a koe: a ma wai nga mea kua pae na i a koe?
21 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Na, ka pena te tangata e whakapuranga ana i te taonga mana ake, a kahore e hua tana whaka te Atua.
22 He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.
Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Kaua e manukanuka ki to koutou oranga, ki ta koutou e kai ai; ki te tinana ranei, ki ta koutou e kakahu ai.
23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Rahi atu te ora i te kai, me te tinana i te kakahu.
24 Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!
Whakaaroa nga rawene; kahore nei e whakato, kahore e kokoti, kahore a ratou pakoro, kahore he whare witi; heoi e whangaia ana ratou e te Atua: tera noa ake koutou i nga manu.
25 Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit [18 in; 45.72 cm] to his height?
A ko wai o koutou e taea e ia te whakaaro iho, te hono tetahi wahi ki tona roa, kia kotahi te whatianga?
26 If then you are not able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?
A ki te kore e taea e koutou te mea nohinohi rawa, he aha i manukanuka ai ki tetahi atu?
27 Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon [Peaceable, Recompense] in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Whakaaroa nga rengarenga, to ratou tupu: e kore nei e mahi, e kore e miro; na ko taku tenei ki a koutou, Kihai a Horomona me tona kororia katoa i rite ki tetahi o enei te whai kakahu.
28 But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little trusting faith?
Na, ki te penei ta te Atua whakakakahu i te tarutaru i te parae, kei reira aianei, a apopo ka maka ki te oumu; tera noa ake tana i a koutou, e te hunga whakapono iti.
29 Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.
Kaua ra e rapu ki ta koutou e kai ai, ki ta koutou e inu ai, kaua e tirengi noa te whakaaro.
30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but 'Avikah ·your Father· knows that you need these things.
E rapu ana hoki nga iwi o te ao i enei mea katoa: otira e matau ana to koutou Matua e matea ana e koutou enei mea.
31 But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.
Engari rapu te rangatiratanga o te Atua: a ka tapiritia enei mea katoa ma koutou.
32 Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is 'Avikah ·your Father·’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.
Kaua e mataku, e te kahui nohinohi; kua pai hoki to koutou matua ki te homai i te rangatiratanga ki a koutou.
33 Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.
Hokona o koutou taonga, hoatu he mea ma te hunga rawakore; hanga ma koutou he peke moni e kore e tawhitotia, he taonga ki te rangi e kore e memeha, ki te wahi e kore nei e tata atu te tahae, e kore ano te huhu e kai.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Ko te wahi hoki i to koutou taonga, ko reira ano o koutou ngakau.
35 “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.
Whitikiria o koutou hope, tahuna nga rama kia ka;
36 Be like men watching for their lord, when he teshuvah ·completely returns· from the marriage feast; that, when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.
Ko to koutou rite hei nga tangata e tatari ana ki to ratou rangatira, ina hoki mai i te hakari o te marena; mo tona tae rawa mai, ka patoto, na uaki tonu atu ratou ki a ia.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you, that he will dress himself, and make them recline, and will come and serve them.
Ka koa nga pononga e rokohina mai e to ratou rangatira, a tona taenga mai, e mataara ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka whitiki ia i a ia, a ka mea i a ratou kia noho, ka haere ki te mahi mea ma ratou.
38 They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch, and finds them so.
A ki te haere mai ia i te rua o nga mataaratanga, i te toru ranei, a ka rokohina mai e pera ana ano, ka koa aua pononga.
39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not allowed his house to be broken into.
Otira kia mohio koutou ki tenei, me i matau te tangata i te whare, ki te wa e haere mai ai te tahae, kua mataara ia, a kahore i tukua kia pokaia tona whare.
40 Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”
Kia tatanga ra koutou: no te mea e puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te haora e kore ai koutou e mahara.
41 Peter [Rock] said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”
Na ka mea a Pita ki a ia, E te Ariki, ki a matou tenei kupu whakarite e korero nei koe? ki te katoa ranei?
42 The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?
Na ka mea te Ariki, Ko wai ra te tuari pono, mahara, e meinga e tona ariki hei rangatira mo ana tangata, hei hoatu i te mehua kai i te wa e tika ai?
43 Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.
Ka koa taua pononga, ki te rokohina e tona rangatira ina tae mai, e pena ana.
44 Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, ka meinga ia hei rangatira mo ana taonga katoa.
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
Otira ki te mea taua pononga i roto i tona ngakau, Ka roa te haerenga mai o toku ariki; a ka anga ka whiu i nga pononga tane, i nga pononga wahine, ka kai, ka inu, ka haurangi;
46 then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not expecting him, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.
Ka haere mai te rangatira o taua pononga i te ra e kore ai ia e mahara, i te haora e kore ai ia e mohio, a ka hautopea ia, ka meinga mona he wahi i roto i te hunga whakaponokore.
47 That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,
Na, ko taua pononga, i mohio nei ki ta tona rangatira i pai ai, a kihai i whakaaro wawe, kihai hoki i mea i tana i pai ai, he maha nga whiu mona:
48 but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.
Tena ko ia kihai i mohio, a i mahi i nga mea e tika ai kia whiua, he torutoru nga whiu mona. Ko te tangata hoki i nui te hoatutanga ki a ia he nui ano hei homaitanga mana; a ko te tangata i nui te tukunga ki a ia, hira noa atu te mea e tonoa i a ia.
49 “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.
I haere mai ahau ki te maka kapura ki te whenua; a ka pehea ahau, mehemea kua ka ke?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!
Otira he iriiringa toku e iriiria ai ahau; ano toku takarekare kia oti ra ano!
51 Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
E mea ana ranei koutou, i haere mai ahau ki te homai i te rangimarie ki te whenua? Tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Kahore; engari i te wehewehe:
52 For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Hei nga ra hoki e takoto ake nei ka tokorima i roto i te whare kotahi, a ka tahuri ki a ratou ano, tokotoru ki te tokorua, tokorua ki te tokotoru.
53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Ka tahuri atu te papa ki te tama, te tama ki te papa; te whaea ki te tamahine, te tamahine ki tona whaea; te hungawai wahine ki tana hunaonga wahine, me te hunaonga wahine ki tona hungawai wahine.
54 He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
A i mea ano ia ki nga mano, Ka kite koutou i te kapua e puta mai ana i te hauauru, na mea tonu ake koutou, He ua te haere mai nei; a ko ia ano ia.
55 When a south wind blows, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.
Ka kite koutou i te tonga e pupuhi ana, ka mea koutou, Meake ko te werawera; a ko ia ano ia.
56 You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?
E te hunga tinihanga, e matau ana koutou ki te titiro ki te mata o te whenua, o te rangi; he aha koutou te matau ai ki te titiro ki tenei taima?
57 Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
A he aha koutou te whakaaro noa ake ai i te mea tika?
58 For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
I a korua ko tou hoa tauwhainga e haere ana ki te kaiwhakawa, hei te huarahi ano kia kaha te mea kia makere atu ia i a koe: kei toia koe e ia ki te kaiwhakawa, a ka tukua koe e te kaiwhakawa ki te katipa, a ka maka koe e te katipa ki te whare he rehere.
59 I tell you, you will by no means get out of there, until you have paid the very last penny.”
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe, E kore rawa koe e puta mai i reira, kia poto ra ano nga moni iti rawa te utu e koe.
