Ruka 11
1 A, i a ia e inoi ana i tetahi wahi, a ka mutu, ka ki atu tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Ariki, whakaakona matou ki te inoi, me Hoani hoki i whakaako ra i ana akonga.
It happened he was praying in a certain place, and when he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, "Master, teach us how to pray, just as Johntaught his disciples."
2 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ka inoi koutou, mea atu, E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa. Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
So he said to them. "When you pray, say, "Father, hallowed be thy name; May thy kingdom come,
3 Homai ta matou taro ki a matou, to tenei ra, to tenei ra.
"Give us day by day our bread for the coming day;
4 Murua o matou hara; e murua ana hoki e matou o nga tangata katoa e hara ana ki a matou. Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whakawaia.
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive everyone who has offended us; "And bring us not into temptation."
5 I mea ano ia ki a ratou, Ko wai o koutou ki te mea he hoa tona, a ka tae atu ki a ia i waenganui po, ka mea ki a ia, E hoa, homai ki ahau etahi taro, kia toru;
He also said to them. "Suppose you have a friend and you go to him, ‘My friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
6 Kua tae mai hoki toku hoa ki ahau i te ara, kahore aku mea e whakatakoto ai ahau mana?
"for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
7 A ka whakahoki tera i roto, ka mea, Hoha ki, kati ra: kua tutakina noatia ake te tatau, kei te moenga matou ko aku tamariki; e kore e ahei kia whakatika atu ahau ki te hoatu ki a koe.
"and he from indoors shall answer. ‘Do not pester me. The door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give to you.’
8 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ahakoa kahore ia i whakatika ki te hoatu ki a ia, no te mea he hoa nona, ma tana tohe ano ka ara ake ai ia, ka hoatu ai ki a ia i nga mea i tonoa e ia.
"I tell you that, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunate persistence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9 Ko taku kupu ano tenei ki a koutou, Inoi, a ka hoatu ki a koutou; e rapu, a ka kite koutou; patukia, a ka uakina ki a koutou.
"So I say to you. "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10 Ka whiwhi hoki nga tangata katoa ina inoi; ka kite ina rapu; ka uakina ki te tangata e patuki ana.
"For he that asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door shall be opened.
11 Ko tehea matua o koutou ki te inoia e tana tama tetahi taro, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he kamaka? ki te inoia he ika, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he nakahi hei ika?
"What father is there among you who, if his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish will give him instead a serpent?
12 Ki te inoia he hua manu, e hoatu ranei ki a ia he kopiona?
"Or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Ki te mea ko koutou, hunga kino nei, e matau ana ki te hoatu mea papai ki a koutou tamariki: tera noa ake te homaitanga o te Wairua Tapu e to koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e inoi ana ki a ia.
"If you give good gifts to your children, how much more shall the Father who is in heaven give the Holy spirit to those that ask him!"
14 Na e pei rewera ana ia, he mea wahangu ano hoki. A, no te putanga o te rewera ki waho, ka korero te wahangu; a miharo ana te mano.
Once he was casting out a dumb demon, and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people wondered.
15 Na ka mea etahi o ratou, Na te rangatira o nga rewera, na Perehepura, tana peinga rewera.
But some of them said, "It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he cast out demons."
16 Na ka whakamatautau etahi, ka mea ki tetahi tohu i a ia i te rangi.
Others, tempting him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven.
17 Otiia i matau ia ki o ratou whakaaro, a ka mea ki a ratou, Ki te tahuri iho tetahi rangatiratanga ki a ia ano, ka kore; ki te tahuri hoki tetahi whare ki tetahi whare, ka hinga.
He knew their intentions and said to them. "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste and house falls upon house.
18 A ki te tahuri iho a hatana ki a ia ano, me pehea e tu ai tona rangatiratanga? e mea na hoki koutou, na Perehepura taku peinga rewera.
"And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
19 Na, ki te mea na Perehepura taku peinga rewera, na wai te peinga a a koutou tama? mo konei hei kaiwhakawa ratou mo koutou.
"Do you say that I am casting out demons by the power of Beelzebub? If I then am casting out demons by Beelzebub, by whom are your sons casting them out? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Tena ki te mea na te ringa o te Atua taku peinga rewera, ina, kua tae mai te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki a koutou.
"But if it is by the finger of God that I am casting out demons, then the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 Ki te tiakina e te tangata kaha, he patu nei ana, tona whare, ka ata takoto ana taonga:
"When the strong man fully aroused keeps guard over his homestead, his property is undisturbed;
22 Ki te puta mai ia te mea e kaha atu ana i a ia, a ka hinga tera, na ka tangohia ana patu i whakamanawa ai ia, ka tuwhatuwhaia ona taonga.
"but when the stronger man attacks him, he takes away from the strong armor in which he was trusting and divides up the spoil.
23 Ko te tangata ehara i te hoa noku, he hoariri ia ki ahau: ko te tangata kahore e kohikohi tahi maua, e titaritari ana.
"He who is not for me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering.
24 Ka puta te wairua poke i roto i te tangata, ka haereere ia ra nga wahi waikore rapu okiokinga ai; a, kahore e kitea, ka mea ia, Ka hoki ahau ki toku whare i puta mai ai ahau.
"Whenever a foul spirit is gone out of a man, it roams through waterless places, in search of rest; but when it can find none, it says, ‘I will go back to the house which I have left.’
25 A, no te taenga atu, rokohanga atu kua oti te tahitahi, te whakapaipai.
When it comes and finds the house completely swept and garnished.
26 Na ka haere ia, ka tango i etahi atu wairua tokowhitu, he kino atu i a ia; a ka tomo atu, ka noho i reira: a kino atu i te timatanga te whakamutunga o taua tangata.
"Then it goes off and fetches seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first."
27 A i ia e korero ana i enei mea, ka karanga ake tetahi wahine i roto i te mano, ka mea ki a ia, Koa tonu te kopu i kawea ai koe, me nga u i ngotea e koe.
It happened while he was saying this, that a certain woman out of the crowd shouted to him, saying, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breast that you have sucked."
28 Ano ra hoki ko ia, Engari ra, tino koa te hunga e whakarongo ana ki te kupu a te Atua, a e mahi ana.
"No, rather," he answered, "blessed are those who listen to the word of God, and keep it."
29 A, no ka rupeke te mano, ka anga ia ka korero, He whakatupuranga kino tenei: e rapu ana ki tetahi tohu; a e kore tetahi tohu e hoatu, ko te tohu anake o Hona poropiti.
When the crowd were beginning to throng about him he proceeded to say. "This is an evil generation! It seeks a sign, and there shall be no sign be given to it except the sign of Jonah;
30 I waiho nei hoki a Hona hei tohu ki nga tangata o Ninewe, ka pera ano te Tama a te tangata ki tenei whakatupuranga.
"for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of man be to this generation.
31 Ka whakatika ngatahi te kuini o te tonga i te whakawakanga me nga tangata o tenei whakatupuranga, ka whakatau i te he ki a ratou; i haere hoki ia i nga pito o te whenua ki te whakarongo ki te whakaaro nui o Horomona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke atu i a Horomona.
"The queen of the South shall rise up in Judgement with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one greater than Solomon is here!
32 Ka whakatika ngatahi nga tangata o Ninewe i te whakawakanga me tenei whakatupuranga, ka whakatau i te he ki a ratou: i ripeneta hoki ratou i te kauwhautanga a Hona; a tenei tetahi he nui ke atu i a Hona.
"The men of the Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with his generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo! one greater than Jonah is here!
33 Ka tahuna te rama, e kore e waiho e te tangata ki te wahi ngaro, ki raro ranei i te puhera, engari ki runga ki te turanga, kia kitea ai te marama e te hunga e tomo atu ana.
"When one lights a lamp he does not put it in a cellar nor under the bushel, but on a lamp-stand that those who enter may see the light.
34 Ko te kanohi te rama o te tinana: na, ki te atea tou kanohi, ka marama ano tou tinana katoa; tena ki te kino, ka pouri ano hoki tou tinana.
"The lamp of the body is your eye; when your eye is single then your whole body is full of light; but when it is evil your whole body is full of darkness.
35 Na reira kia ata titiro mehemea ehara i te pouri te marama i roto i a koe.
"Look carefully! Perhaps that very light of yours is darkness.
36 Na, a ki te marama tou tinana katoa, a ki te kore ona wahi pouri, ka marama katoa ano, me te mea ko te mura o te rama e whakamarama ana i a koe.
"If, however, your whole body is full of light, without having any part dark, it will be wholly radiant with light, as when the lamp illumines you with its bright rays."
37 Na, i a ia e korero ana, ka tono tetahi parihi kia kai ia ki a ia; a haere ana ia ki roto, ka noho.
When he had finished speaking a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in with him and reclined.
38 A, i te kitenga o te Parihi, ka miharo, no te mea kahore ia e horoi i mua o te kainga.
And the Pharisee noticed, to his amazement, that he did not wash his hands before eating,
39 Ka mea te Ariki ki a ia, Tenei koutou, e nga Parihi, te horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te rihi; ko roto ia o koutou e ki ana i te pahua, i te kino.
but the Lord said to him. "You Pharisee do cleanse the outside of your cup or plate, but your secret heart is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 E te hunga kuware, kihai ianei i hanga a roto e te kaihanga o waho?
"Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Engari hoatu nga mea o roto hei atawhainga mo nga rawakore; a ka ma nga mea katoa ki a koutou.
"Better cleanse what is within, and nothing will be unclean for you.
42 Otira, aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga Parihi! e hoatu ana hoki e koutou te wahi whakatekau, o te miniti, o te ru, o nga otaota katoa, a kapea ake te whakarite whakawa me te aroha ki te Atua: he tika ano ko enei kia meatia, kia kaua ano hoki era e kapea.
"But woe unto you Pharisee! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and disregard justice and the love of God; but these you ought to have done, and not leave the other undone.
43 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga parihi! ko ta koutou hoki e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia, me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko.
"Woe unto you Pharisee! for you delight in the best seats in the synagogue, and in the salutation in the market-places.
44 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e rite na koutou ki nga urupa ngaro, e kore e kitea e nga tangata e haereere ana i runga.
"Woe unto you! for you are like the tombs which are hidden, and men walk over them unsuspecting."
45 Na ka whakahoki tetahi o nga kaiwhakaako o te ture, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, he whakahe ano hoki mo matou enei korero au.
Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."
46 Na ko tana meatanga, Aue, te mate mo koutou hoki, e nga kaiwhakaako o te ture! e whakawaha ana hoki koutou i nga tangata ki nga kawenga taimaha rawa hei pikaunga, a e kore tetahi o o koutou matihao e pa atu ki aua kawenga.
"Woe unto you lawyers also!" said Jesus, "for you load men with irksome burdens, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Aue, te mate mo koutou! ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga urupa o nga poropiti, na o koutou matua hoki ratou i whakamate.
"Woe to you! for you are building the tombs of the prophets whom you ancestors killed.
48 Na, he kaiwhakaatu koutou he kaiwhakaae ki nga mahi a o koutou matua: na ratou hoki ratou i whakamate, ko koutou hoki hei hanga i o ratou urupa.
"So you are witnesses, and you consent to the actions of your ancestors. for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
49 Na konei ano te matauranga o te Atua i mea ai, Maku e tono he poropiti, he apotoro ki a ratou, a ka whakamate, ka tukino ratou i etahi o ratou:
"For this reason also said the Wisdom of God. ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and some they will persecute;
50 Kia rapua ai he utu i tenei whakapaparanga mo te toto o nga poropiti katoa i ringihia nei no te timatanga ra ano o te ao;
"so that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required from this generation,
51 No te toto o Apera, tae noa ki te toto o Hakaraia i mate nei ki waenganui o te aata, o te wahi tapu: ae ra, ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, E rapua he utu i tenei whakapaparanga.
"from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the alter and the sanctuary; yes; I tell you, it shall be required of this generation!
52 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiwhakaako o te ture! kua tangohia hoki e koutou te ki o te matauranga: kihai koutou i tomo ki roto, a i arai hoki koutou i te hunga e tomo ana.
"Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of knowledge!’ You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who are trying to enter."
53 Na, i tona putanga mai ki waho, ka timata te tohetohe kaha a nga karaipi, a nga Parihi ki a ia, he mea kia maha atu ai ana korero:
After he had gone away, the Scribes and the Pharisee began to set themselves vehemently against him, and to cross-question him upon many points,
54 E whakamoho ana hoki, kia mau tetahi kupu a tona mangai.
laying in wait for him, in order to catch a word from his lips.
