John 7
1 After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
I muri i enei mea ka haereere a Ihu i Kariri: kahore hoki ia i pai ki te haereere i Huria, e rapu ana hoki nga Hurai kia whakamatea ia.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Na kua tata te hakari a nga Hurai, te hakari whare wharau.
3 Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
Na ka mea ona teina ki a ia, Haere atu i konei, anga atu ki Huria, kia kite ai hoki au akonga i au mahi e mahi nei koe.
4 No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
E kore hoki tetahi tangata e mea huna i tetahi mea, ki te whai ia kia ara tona ingoa. Ki te mea koe i enei mea, kia kite te ao i a koe.
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Ko ona teina tonu hoki kihai i whakapono ki a ia.
6 So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kahore ano kia taea noatia toku taima: ko to koutou taima ia kei nga wa katoa.
7 [The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
E kore e ahei kia kino te ao ki a koutou; engari ka kino ki ahau, no te mea e whakaaturia ana e ahau te kino o ana mahi.
8 You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
Haere koutou ki tenei hakari: e kore ahau e haere wawe ki tenei hakari; kahore hoki toku taima kia ata rite noa.
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
A ka mutu tenei korero ana ki a ratou, ka noho tonu ia ki Kariri.
10 However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
A, no ka riro ona teina ki te hakari, ka haere ano hoki ia, ehara i te mea whakakite nui, engari i tu a huna.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Heoi i rapu nga Hurai i a ia i te hakari, i mea, Kei hea ia?
12 Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
He nui hoki te korero komuhumuhu mona i roto i te mano: ko etahi i mea, He tangata pai ia: ko etahi i mea, Kahore, engari e whakapohehe ana ia i te iwi.
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Heoi kihai i rahi te korero a tetahi tangata mona, he wehi ki nga Hurai.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
Na, i waenganui o te hakari, ka haere a Ihu ki roto ki te temepara whakaako ai.
15 The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
A ka miharo nga Hurai, ka mea, na te aha i hua ai te mohio o tenei tangata, ehara nei hoki ia i te mea whakaako?
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Ka whakahoki a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ehara i te mea naku ake taku e whakaako nei, engari na toku kaitono mai.
17 Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
Ki te pai tetahi tangata ki te mea i tana e pai ai, e matau ia ki te whakaakoranga, na te Atua ranei, he korero naku ake ranei.
18 Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
Ko te tangata nana ake tana korero, e whai ana ia i tona ake kororia: tena ki te whai tetahi i te kororia o tona kaitono, e pono ana ia, a kahore ona he.
19 [Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
He teka ianei na Mohi te ture i hoatu ki a koutou, a kahore e whakaritea te ture e tetahi o koutou? He aha koutou ka whai nei kia whakamatea ahau?
20 Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
Na ka whakahoki te mano ka mea, He rewera tou: ko wai te whai ana kia whakamatea koe?
21 Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
Ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kotahi aku mahi i mahi ai, a e miharotia ana e koutou katoa.
22 Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
I homai e Mohi te kotinga ki a koutou; ehara ano ia i te mea na Mohi ake, engari na nga tupuna; e kokoti ana hoki koutou i te tangata i te hapati.
23 You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
Ki te kotia te tangata i te hapati, kei takahia te ture a Mohi; e riri ana oti koutou ki ahau, moku i whakaora rawa i te tangata i te hapati?
24 Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
Kaua e waiho te whakawa i runga i ta te kanohi, engari kia tika ta koutou whakawa.
25 Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
Me i reira ka mea etahi o nga tangata o Hiruharama, Ehara oti tenei i a ia e whaia nei e ratou kia whakamatea?
26 He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
Na, maia tonu tana korero, a kahore a ratou kupu ki a ia. E tino matau ana ranei nga rangatira, ko te Karaiti pu tenei?
27 But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Otiia e matau ana tatou ki te wahi i puta mai ai tenei: tena ka tae mai a te Karaiti, kahore he tangata e matau ki te wahi e puta mai ai ia.
28 [They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
Na ka karanga a Ihu i te temepara i a ia e whakaako ana, ka mea, E matau ana koutou ki ahau, e matau ana ano ki te wahi i haere mai ai ahau: ehara i ahau ake taku haere mai; engari e pono ana te kaitono mai i ahau; kahore nei koutou i matau ki a ia.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
E matau ana ahau ki a ia; i puta mai hoki ahau i a ia, nana ano ahau i tono mai.
30 Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
A i whai ratou kia hopukia ia: otiia kihai i pa te ringa o tetahi ki a ia, kahore hoki tona haora i taka noa.
31 But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
A he tokomaha o te mano i whakapono ki a ia, i mea, ka tae mai a te Karaiti, tera ranei e maha atu ana merekara e mea ai i a tenei e mea nei?
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
I rongo nga Parihi i te mano e korerorero ana i enei mea mona; na ka tonoa mai e nga Parihi ratou ko nga tohunga nui he katipa ki te hopu i a ia.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He iti noa ake te wahi e noho ai ahau ki a koutou, katahi ahau ka haere ki toku kaitono mai.
34 Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
Tera koutou e rapu i ahau, heoi e kore koutou e kite: e kore hoki koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e noho ai ahau.
35 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
Na ka mea nga Hurai ki a ratou ano, E haere oti te tangata nei ki hea, e kore ai e kitea e tatou? e haere oti ia ki nga manene i roto i nga Kariki, ako ai i nga Kariki?
36 When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
He ki aha tenei e ki nei ia, Tera koutou e rapu i ahau, a e kore e kite: e kore hoki koutou e ahei te haere ake ki te wahi e noho ai ahau?
37 [On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
I te ra whakamutunga, i te ra nui o te hakari, ka tu a Ihu, ka karanga, ka mea, Ki te matewai tetahi, haere mai ia ki ahau, kia inu.
38 Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
Ki te whakapono tetahi ki ahau, ka rite ki ta te karaipiture, ka rere mai nga wai ora i roto i tona kopu.
39 When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
I korerotia tenei e ia mo te Wairua, meake nei riro i te hunga e whakapono ana ki a ia; kahore ano hoki te Wairua Tapu kia homai noa; no te mea kiano a Ihu i whakakororiatia noatia.
40 When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
Ko etahi o te mano i to ratou rongonga i tenei kupu, i mea, he pono ko te Poropiti tenei.
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
Ka mea etahi, Ko te Karaiti tenei. Ko etahi i mea, E puta mai ranei a te Karaiti i Kariri?
42 (Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
Kahore koia te karaipiture i mea, E puta mai a te Karaiti i te uri o Rawiri, i Peterehema, i te kainga i noho ai a Rawiri?
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
Na ka waiho ia hei take wehewehenga ma te mano.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Ko etahi o ratou i mea kia hopukia ia: otira kihai i pa nga ringa o tetahi ki a ia.
45 So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
Na ko te taenga atu o nga katipa ki nga tohunga nui ratou ko nga Parihi; ka mea atu enei ki a ratou, he aha ia te kawea mai ai e koutou.
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Ka whakahokia e nga katipa, Kahore rawa he tangata i rite ana korero ki a tenei.
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Na ka whakahokia ta ratou e nga Parihi, Kua tinihangatia ano hoki koutou?
48 (None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
Kua whakapono koia tetahi o nga rangatira, o nga Parihi ranei ki a ia?
49 Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
Ko tenei hunga ia e kore nei e matau ki te ture, ka oti ratou te kanga.
50 Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
Ka mea a Nikorima ki a ratou, tera i haere mai ra ki a ia i mua, ko ia hoki tetahi o ratou,
51 “[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
Ka whakahengia ranei te tangata e to tatou ture, i te mea kahore ano i whakarongo noa ki a ia, i matau hoki ki tana mahi?
52 They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe hoki tetahi no Kariri? Tena rapua, ka kite koe, kahore kia ara noa tetahi poropiti i Kariri.
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
Na hoki ana ratou ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
