Ruka 15
1 Na ka whakatata ki a ia nga pupirikana katoa me nga tangata hara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 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.
And were grumbling the (both *no) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
3 Na ka korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite ki a ratou, a ka mea,
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 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?
What man of you having a hundred sheep and (having lost *NK+o) of them one not leaves the ninety nine in the open field and goes after the [one] having been lost until he may find it?
5 A ka kitea, ka waha i runga i ona pokohiwi, ka koa.
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
6 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.
And having come to the house he calls together the friends and the neighbours saying to them; do rejoice with me, for I have found the sheep of mine the [one] having been lost!
7 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.
I say to you that in the same way joy in heaven there will be over one sinner repenting rather than over ninety nine righteous ones who no need have of repentance.
8 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?
Or what woman drachmas having ten, if she may lose drachma one, surely she lights a lamp and she sweeps the house and she seeks carefully until (it *N+kO) she may find?
9 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.
And having found [it] (she calls together *N+kO) the friends and neighbours saying; do rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
10 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.
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 I mea ano ia, Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata:
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 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.
And said the younger of them to the father; Father, do give to me what is due [to me] portion of the property. (then *N+kO) he divided between them the property.
13 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.
And after not many days having gathered together (all [things] *N+kO) the younger son went away into a country distant and there he wasted the estate of him living prodigally.
14 A, no ka poto ana mea katoa, ka pa te matekai ki taua whenua, a ka timata ia te rawakore.
When was spending however he everything there arose a famine (severe *N+kO) throughout the country that, and he himself began to be in need.
15 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.
And having gone he joined himself to one of the citizens the country of that, and he sent him into the fields of him to feed pigs.
16 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.
And he was longing (to be fed *N+kO) (the *ko) (stomach of him *KO) (from *N+kO) the pods that were eating the pigs, and no [one] was giving to him.
17 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!
To himself however having come (he was saying; *N+kO) How many hired servants of the father of mine (have abundance *N+kO) of bread, I myself however with hunger (here *NO) am perishing!
18 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,
Having risen up I will go to the father of mine and I will say to him; Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
19 A heoi ano tikanga kia kiia ahau he tama nau: meinga ahau kia rite ki tetahi o au kaimahi.
(and *k) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you. do make me like one of the servants of you.
20 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.
And having risen up he went to the father (of himself *NK+o) Still now he far being distant he saw him the father of him and was moved with compassion, and having run he fell upon the neck of him and he kissed him.
21 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.
Said then the son to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; (and *k) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you (do make me as one of the servants of you. *O)
22 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:
Said then the father to the servants of him; (Quickly *NO) do bring out robe the best and do clothe him and do give a ring for the hand of him and sandals for [his] feet,
23 Kawea mai ano te kuao kau, te mea whangai, patua; kia kai tatou, kia koa te ngakau;
and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
24 Ko tenei tama hoki aku i mate, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea. A ka anga ratou ka koa.
For this the son of mine dead was and is alive again, (and *k) he was having been lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 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.
Was now the son of him the elder in [the] field. and while coming [up] he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Na karangatia ana e ia tetahi o nga kaimahi, ka ui atu, he aha ra enei mea.
And having called near one of the servants (of him *k) he was inquiring what (maybe *no) would be these things.
27 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.
And he said to him that The brother of you is come, and has killed the father of you the calf fattened, because in good health him he has received.
28 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.
He was angry however and not he was willing to go in. (And *N+KO) the father of him having gone he was begging him.
29 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:
And answering he said to the [the] father of him; Behold so many years I serve you and never a commandment of you I disobeyed, and to me myself never did you give a young goat that with the friends of mine I may make merry.
30 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.
When however the son of you this the [one] having devoured your living with prostitutes came, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
31 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E tama, kei ahau tonu koe, amu hoki aku mea katoa.
And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
32 He tika ia kia koa tatou, kia hari: i mate hoki tou teina nei, a kua ora; i ngaro, a kua kitea.
To make merry however and to rejoice it was fitting, because the brother of you this dead was and (is alive, *N+KO) and having been lost (was *k) and is found.
