Ruka 17

1 Na ka mea ia ki ana akonga, E kore e taea te whakakahore te putanga o nga take he: otiia aue, te mate mo te tangata e puta ai!

THEN he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom they come!

2 He nui te pai ki a ia ki te whakatarewatia ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, kia maka hoki ia ki te moana, a kia kaua e taka i a ia ki te he tetahi o enei mea nohinohi.

It would be advantageous for him, if a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea, rather than offend one of these little ones.

3 Kia tupato ki a koutou: ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, riria; a ki te ripeneta, murua tona.

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin against thee, reprove him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 A ki te whitu nga haranga ki a koe i te ra kotahi, a ka whitu ona hokinga mai ki a koe, a ka mea, E ripeneta ana ahau; murua tona.

And if seven times in the day he sin against thee, and seven times in the day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5 A ka mea nga apotoro ki te Ariki, Whakanuia to matou whakapono.

And the disciples said unto the Lord, increase our faith.

6 Na ka mea te Ariki, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, me te pua nani te rahi, ka mea koutou ki tenei hikamaina, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakatokia ki te moana; na ka rongo ki a koutou.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.

7 Na, ko wai o koutou he pononga tana e parau ana, e tiaki ana ranei i nga hipi, e mea atu ki a ia, i tona hokinga mai i te mara, haere tonu mai, ka noho ki te kai?

But which of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, when he cometh from the field, will say immediately, Come, sit down at table?

8 A e kore e mea ki a ia, Taka he hapa maku, ka whitiki ai i a koe, ka tuari mai ki ahau, kia mutu ra taku kai, taku inu; a muri iho ka kai ai koe, ka inu ai?

And will he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?

9 E whakawhetai oti ia ki taua pononga, mona i mea i nga mea i whakahaua ai ia?

Doth he hold it as a favour from that servant, that he did the things which were ordered him? I think not.

10 Waihoki ko koutou, ka oti nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou, ka ki atu, He pononga huakore matou; ko ta matou i mea ai ko te mea ano i whakaritea kia mahia e matou.

So also ye, when ye have done all things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: for we have but done what was our duty to do.

11 Na, i a ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama, ka haere ia ra waenganui o Hamaria, o Kariri.

And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 A, i a ia e tomo ana ki tetahi kainga, kotahi tekau nga tangata i tutaki ki a ia, he repera, na, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti:

And as he was entering a certain village, ten leprous men met him, who stood at a distance:

13 Ka karanga, ka mea, E kara, e Ihu, kia aroha ki a matou.

and they lift up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!

14 A, i tona kitenga atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kia kite nga tohunga i a koutou. A i a ratou e haere ana, na kua ma.

And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.

15 A, no te kitenga o tetahi o ratou kua ora ia, ka hoki, a he rahi tona reo ki te whakakororia i te Atua.

Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God,

16 A takoto tapapa ana ia ki ona waewae, ka whakawhetai ki a ia: a no Hamaria ia.

and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 A ka oho atu a Ihu, ka mea, Kihai ranei te tekau i whakarangia? a kei hea nga tokoiwa?

Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 Heoi ano nga mea i kitea e hoki mai ana ki te homai i te kororia ki te Atua, ko tenei tangata iwi ke.

There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien.

19 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika, haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai.

And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.

20 A, i te uinga a nga Parihi ki a ia, ko a hea puta mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore e kitea te putanga mai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

And being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 E kore ano ratou e mea, Na, tenei! na, tera! kei roto hoki i a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 A ka mea ia ki nga akonga, Tera e tae mai nga ra e hiahia ai koutou kia kite i tetahi o nga ra o te Tama a te tangata, a e kore koutou e kite.

Then said he to the disciples, The days will come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.

23 A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.

And they will say to you, Lo here! and lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.

24 Ka rite hoki ki te uira e hoko mai ana i tetahi wahi i raro o te rangi: a tiaho atu ana ki tetahi atu wahi i raro o te rangi; e pera ano te Tama a te tangata a tona ra.

For as the lightning flashing from one quarter under heaven, shineth to another quarter under heaven; so shall the Son of man also be at his day.

25 Otiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.

But he must first suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

26 Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa nga ra o te Tama a te tangata.

And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man.

27 E kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e marena ana, e tukua ana ki te marena, taea noatia te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki te aaka, a, ko te putanga mai o te waipuke, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

They did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed them all.

28 Ka rite ano hoki ki nga ra i a Rota; e kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana, e whakato ana, e hanga whare ana.

Even so, likewise, it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 Heoi i te ra i puta mai ai a Rota i Horoma, ka uaina he kapura, he whanariki i te rangi, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Ka pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.

Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.

31 I taua ra, kei runga tetahi i te whare, me ona taonga hoki i roto i te whare, kaua ia e heke iho ki te tiki i aua mea: ko te tangata hoki i te mara, kaua ia e hoki atu ki nga mea o muri.

In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him.

32 Kia mahara ki te wahine a Rota.

Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Ki te whai tetahi kia ora ia, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, ka ora ano ia.

Whosoever seeketh to preserve his life shall lose it; and whosoever would lose it, shall preserve it.

34 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, I taua po tokorua i te moenga kotahi; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

I tell you, in that night two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

35 Tokorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

Two shall be in the field; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.

36 Tokorua nga tangata i te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

37 Na ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko hea, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te wahi i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga ekara.

And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
