Luke 15
1 And publicans and sinners came to him, to hear him.
Na ka whakatata ki a ia nga pupirikana katoa me nga tangata hara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
2 And the Scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said: This man receiveth 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 And Jesus spoke to them this similitude:
Na ka korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite ki a ratou, a ka mea,
4 What man among you, that hath a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go and seek for that which is lost, until he find 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 findeth it, he rejoiceth, and taketh it upon his shoulders;
A ka kitea, ka waha i runga i ona pokohiwi, ka koa.
6 and he cometh home, and he calleth together his friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep that 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 to you, that there will thus be joy in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just ones, to whom repentance was not necessary.
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 Or what woman is there, who, if she have ten drachmas, and lose one of them, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until she find 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 she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me, for I have found my drachma that was 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 I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.
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 And Jesus said to them again: A certain man had two sons.
I mea ano ia, Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata:
12 And his younger son said to him: My father, give me the portion that falleth to me from thy house. And he divided to them his property.
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 And after a few days, the younger son collected together all that fell to him, and went to a distant place and there squandered his property, by living in dissipation.
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 And when he had consumed all that he had, there occurred a great famine in that place; and he began to be in want.
A, no ka poto ana mea katoa, ka pa te matekai ki taua whenua, a ka timata ia te rawakore.
15 And he went and connected himself with one of the citizens of that place: and he sent him into the field to tend 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 he longed to fill his belly with those pods which the swine ate: and no one gave to 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 And when he came to himself, he said: How many hired servants are now at my father's house, who have bread enough, and I am here perishing with 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 will arise and go to my father, and say to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, 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 longer worthy to be called thy son. Make me like one of thy hired servants.
A heoi ano tikanga kia kiia ahau he tama nau: meinga ahau kia rite ki tetahi o au kaimahi.
20 And he arose and went towards his father. And he was yet at a distance, when his father saw him; and he pitied him, and ran, and fell upon his neck 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 his son said to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son.
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 But his father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and supply him with shoes.
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 forth and slay the fatted bullock; and let us eat, and be merry.
Kawea mai ano te kuao kau, te mea whangai, patua; kia kai tatou, kia koa te ngakau;
24 For, this my son was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ko tenei tama hoki aku i mate, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea. A ka anga ratou ka koa.
25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard the sound of the singing of many.
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 he called to one of the boys, and asked him what it meant.
Na karangatia ana e ia tetahi o nga kaimahi, ka ui atu, he aha ra enei mea.
27 And he said to him: Thy brother hath come; and thy father hath killed the fatted bullock, because he hath received him in health.
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 And he was angry, and would not go in: and his father went 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 And he said to his father: Lo, these many years have I labored in thy service, and never transgressed thy command; and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry 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 for this thy son, when he had dissipated thy property with harlots, and came home, thou hast slain the fatted bullock for him.
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 His father said to him: My son, thou hast been ever with me, and all that I have, is thine.
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E tama, kei ahau tonu koe, amu hoki aku mea katoa.
32 But it was proper for us to be merry, and to rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.
He tika ia kia koa tatou, kia hari: i mate hoki tou teina nei, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea.
