< Luke 21 >

1 And he looked up and saw the rich casting their gifts into the treasury;
Na ka titiro ake ia, ka kite i te hunga taonga, e maka ana i a ratou moni hoatu noa ki te takotoranga moni.
2 but he saw also a certain poor widow casting therein two mites.
A ka kite ia i tetahi pouaru rawakore, e maka ana i nga moni nohinohi rawa e rua ki reira.
3 And he said, Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow has cast in more than all;
Na ka mea ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, nui ke ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai i a ratou katoa:
4 for all these out of their abundance have cast into the gifts [of God]; but she out of her need has cast in all the living which she had.
Ko ratou katoa hoki e maka ana ko tetahi wahi o a ratou mea hira noa atu ki roto ki nga moni tuku noa, ko ia o tona rawakoretanga e maka ana i tona oranga katoa.
5 And as some spoke of the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated offerings, he said,
A i etahi e korero ana ki te temepara, ka oti nei te whakapaipai ki nga kohatu papai, ki nga whakahere, ka mea ia,
6 [As to] these things which ye are beholding, days are coming in which there shall not be left stone upon stone which shall not be thrown down.
Na, ko enei mea e kite nei koutou, tera e tae mai nga ra e kore ai e toe tetahi kohatu i runga i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.
7 And they asked him saying, Teacher, when then shall these things be; and what [is] the sign when these things are going to take place?
Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko a hea enei mea? he aha hoki te tohu ina tata enei mea te puta?
8 And he said, See that ye be not led astray, for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [he], and the time is drawn nigh: go ye not [therefore] after them.
A ka mea ia, Kia mahara kei mamingatia koutou: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia: kua tata te taima: na, kei whai i muri i a ratou.
9 And when ye shall hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end is not immediately.
Na ka rongo koutou ki nga taua ki nga whakaoho, kaua e mataku: kua takoto hoki te tikanga mo enei mea kia matua puta mai; taihoa ia te mutunga.
10 Then he said to them, Nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Ka whakatika tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga;
11 there shall be both great earthquakes in different places, and famines and pestilences; and there shall be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Tera hoki e puta nga ru nunui, a i nga tini wahi ka pa te matekai me nga mate uruta; me nga mea whakamataku hoki, me nga tohu nunui o te rangi.
12 But before all these things they shall lay their hands upon you and persecute you, delivering [you] up to synagogues and prisons, bringing [you] before kings and governors on account of my name;
A ko mua ake i enei mea katoa pa ai o ratou ringa ki a koutou, tukino ai i a koutou, tuku ai i a koutou ki nga whare whakawa, ki nga whare herehere, me te arahi i a koutou ki nga kingi, ki nga kawana, mo toku ingoa.
13 but it shall turn out to you for a testimony.
A ka waiho ki a koutou hei tohu whakaatu.
14 Settle therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand [your] defence,
Na whakatatutia iho ki o koutou ngakau, kia kaua e whakaaroa wawetia ta koutou kupu e whakahoki atu ai:
15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your opposers shall not be able to reply to or resist.
Maku hoki e hoatu ki a koutou he mangai, he matauranga, e kore e taea te whakakahore, te pehi, e o koutou hoa whawhai katoa.
16 But ye will be delivered up even by parents and brethren and relations and friends, and they shall put to death [some] from among you,
A ka tukua atu koutou e nga matua, e nga teina, e nga whanaunga, e nga hoa; ka whakamatea ano etahi o koutou.
17 and ye will be hated of all for my name's sake.
Ka kino ano nga tangata katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
18 And a hair of your head shall in no wise perish.
Otiia e kore e ngaro tetahi makawe o o koutou upoko.
19 By your patient endurance gain your souls.
Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.
20 But when ye see Jerusalem encompassed with armies, then know that its desolation is drawn nigh.
Otira ka kite koutou i Hiruharama e karapotia ana e nga taua, ko reira koutou mohio ai, kua tata tona whakangaromanga.
21 Then let those who are in Judaea flee to the mountains, and those who are in the midst of it depart out, and those who are in the country not enter into it;
Hei reira kia oma te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga; me te hunga i waenganui ona kia haere atu ki waho; kei haere hoki ki reira te hunga i nga tuawhenua.
22 for these are days of avenging, that all the things that are written may be accomplished.
Ko nga ra hoki enei o te rapunga utu, e rite ai nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi.
23 But woe to them that are with child and to them who give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress upon the land and wrath upon this people.
Otira, aue te mate o te hunga e hapu ana, o nga mea e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra! e nui hoki te aitua ki te whenua, me te riri ki tenei iwi.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of [the] nations until [the] times of [the] nations be fulfilled.
A ka hinga ratou i te mata o te hoari, ka riro parau ki nga iwi katoa: a ka takahia Hiruharama e nga tauiwi, kia rite ra ano nga wa o nga tauiwi.
25 And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity [at] the roar of the sea and rolling waves,
A ka whai tohu te ra, te marama, me nga whetu, a ki runga ki te whenua he pawera no nga tauiwi, he tumatatenga ki te haruru o te moana, o te ngaru;
26 men ready to die through fear and expectation of what is coming on the habitable earth, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
Ka whiti nga tangata i te mataku, i te manawapa ki nga mea e puta mai ana ki te ao: e ngaueue hoki nga mea kaha o nga rangi.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
KO reira ratou kite ai i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te kapua, me te kaha, me te kororia nui.
28 But when these things begin to come to pass, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws nigh.
A, no ka timata enei mea te puta, titiro ake, kia ara hoki o koutou matenga; ka tata hoki to koutou whakaoranga.
29 And he spoke a parable to them: Behold the fig-tree and all the trees;
Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; Titiro ki te piki, ki nga rakau katoa;
30 when they already sprout, ye know of your own selves, [on] looking [at them], that already the summer is near.
I te mea e pihi ana, na ka kite koutou, ka matau noa ake, kua tata te raumati.
31 So also ye, when ye see these things take place, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Waihoki, ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e puta ana, ka matau kua tata te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
32 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall in no wise pass away until all come to pass.
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa e pahemo tenei whakatupuranga, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.
33 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
E pahemo te rangi me te whenua; ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
34 But take heed to yourselves lest possibly your hearts be laden with surfeiting and drinking and cares of life, and that day come upon you suddenly unawares;
Otira kia tupato ki a koutou ano, kei taimaha o koutou ngakau i te kakai, i te haurangi, i nga raruraru o te ao, a ka puta whakarere mai taua ra, ano he reti, ki a koutou:
35 for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole earth.
Ka puta hoki ki nga tangata katoa e noho ana i te mata o te whenua katoa.
36 Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Mo konei ra kia mataara, i nga wa katoa kia inoi tonu, kia paingia ai koutou kia mawhiti i enei mea katoa meake nei puta, kia tu hoki i te aroaro o te Tama a te tangata.
37 And by day he was teaching in the temple, and by night, going out, he remained abroad on the mountain called [the mount] of Olives;
A i ia ra e whakaako ana ia i roto i te temepara; a ia ia po e haere ana, ka noho i te maunga e kiia nei ko te maunga o nga Oriwa.
38 and all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
A i te atatu ka haere mai nga tangata ki a ia ki te temepara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
