Luke 15
1 Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
Na ka whakatata ki a ia nga pupirikana katoa me nga tangata hara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
2 Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
A ka amuamu nga Parihi, me nga karaipi, ka mea, E manako ana tenei tangata ki nga tangata hara, e kai tahi ana me ratou.
3 Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
Na ka korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite ki a ratou, a ka mea,
4 What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
Ko tehea tangata o koutou he rau ana hipi, a ka ngaro tetahi o ratou, e kore ianei e waiho e ia nga mea e iwa tekau ma iwa i te koraha, a ka haere ki taua mea i ngaro, kia kitea ra ano?
5 And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
A ka kitea, ka waha i runga i ona pokohiwi, ka koa.
6 And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
A, no ka tae ki te whare, ka karangatia ona hoa me nga tangata e noho tata ana, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia hari tahi tatou; kua kitea hoki taku hipi i ngaro.
7 I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, ka pera ano te hari i te rangi mo te tangata hara kotahi ina ripeneta, nui atu i te hari mo nga tangata tika e iwa tekau ma iwa, kahore nei o ratou mea e ripeneta ai.
8 Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
Ko tehea wahine ranei, kotahi tekau nei ana moni hiriwa, ki te ngaro tetahi, e kore ianei ia e tahu i te rama, e tahi i te whare, e rapu marie, kia kitea ra ano?
9 And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
A, no ka kitea, ka karangatia e ia ona hoa me te hunga e noho tata ana, ka mea, kia hari tahi me ahau, kua kitea hoki taku moni i ngaro ra.
10 Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
Waihoki, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, he hari kei te aroaro o nga anahera a te Atua mo te tangata hara kotahi ina ripeneta.
11 He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
I mea ano ia, Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata:
12 And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
Ka mea to muri o raua ki tona papa, E pa, homai ki ahau te whai taonga e wehea e koe moku. Na, ka wehewehea e ia ki a raua tona oranga.
13 So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
A kihai i maha nga ra, ka kohikohia e te tama o muri nga mea katoa, a haere ana ki te whenua tawhiti, maumauria ana ona taonga ki reira, he toreretanga ki te kino.
14 Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
A, no ka poto ana mea katoa, ka pa te matekai ki taua whenua, a ka timata ia te rawakore.
15 Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
Na ka haere ia, ka piri ki tetahi o nga tangata o taua whenua; ka tonoa e ia ki ana mara ki te whangai poaka.
16 And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
I hiahia hoki ia kia whakakiia tona kopu ki nga kiri e kainga ana e nga poaka: heoi kihai i hoatu e tetahi ki a ia.
17 Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
No te hokinga ake ia o ona whakaaro, ka mea ia, Ano te tini o nga kaimahi a toku papa, he nui noa atu a ratou taro, ko ahau ia ka ngaro i te kaikore!
18 I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
Ka whakatika ahau, ka haere ki toku matua, ka mea ki a ia, E pa, kua hara ahau ki te rangi, ki tou aroaro ano,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
A heoi ano tikanga kia kiia ahau he tama nau: meinga ahau kia rite ki tetahi o au kaimahi.
20 So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
Na ka whakatika ia, a haere ana ki tona matua. Na, i a ia ano i tawhiti, ka kite tona matua i a ia, ka aroha, ka oma, hinga iho ki tona kaki, kihi ana i a ia.
21 And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
Na ko te meatanga a te tama ki a ia, E pa, kua hara ahau ki te rangi, ki tou aroaro ano, a heoi ano tikanga kia kiia ahau he tama nau.
22 Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
Na ka mea te matua ki ana pononga, Kia hohoro te mau mai i te kakahu pai rawa, a ka whakakakahu ki a ia; homai hoki he mowhiti mo tona ringa, he hu hoki mo ona waewae:
23 And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
Kawea mai ano te kuao kau, te mea whangai, patua; kia kai tatou, kia koa te ngakau;
24 For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
Ko tenei tama hoki aku i mate, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea. A ka anga ratou ka koa.
25 Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
Na kei te mara tana tama matamua: a, no tona haerenga mai, ka whakatata ki te whare, ka rongo i te waiata, i te kanikani.
26 And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
Na karangatia ana e ia tetahi o nga kaimahi, ka ui atu, he aha ra enei mea.
27 And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
Na ka mea mai tera ki a ia, Kua tae mai tou teina; kua patua e tou matua te kuao momona a te kau, no te mea kua tae ora mai ia ki a ia.
28 Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
Na ka riri ia, kihai hoki i pai kia haere ki roto: me i reira ka haere atu tona matua ki waho, ka tohe ki a ia.
29 But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki tona matua, Nana, te tini o nga tau i mahi ai ahau ki a koe, kahore rawa hoki i takatakahi i tau kupu: heoi kahore rawa i homai e koe ki ahau he kuao koati, kia koa tahi ai ahau me oku hoa:
30 But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
Otira, i te taenga mai o tenei tama au, i pau nei tou oranga i a ia, ratou tahi ko nga wahine kairau, kua patua e koe te kuao momona a te kau mana.
31 And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E tama, kei ahau tonu koe, amu hoki aku mea katoa.
32 It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
He tika ia kia koa tatou, kia hari: i mate hoki tou teina nei, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea.
