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!
He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe 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 better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
3 Kia tupato ki a koutou: ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, riria; a ki te ripeneta, murua tona.
Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, 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.
If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 A ka mea nga apotoro ki te Ariki, Whakanuia to matou whakapono.
The apostles said to 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.
The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, ‘Be uprooted 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 who is there amongst you, having a servant ploughing or keeping sheep, that will say when he comes in from the field, ‘Come immediately and sit down at the 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?
Wouldn’t he rather tell him, ‘Prepare my supper, clothe yourself properly, and serve me while I eat and drink. Afterward you shall eat and drink’?
9 E whakawhetai oti ia ki taua pononga, mona i mea i nga mea i whakahaua ai ia?
Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? 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.
Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.’”
11 Na, i a ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama, ka haere ia ra waenganui o Hamaria, o Kariri.
As he was on his way to Jerusalem, he was passing along the borders 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:
As he entered into a certain village, ten men who were lepers met him, who stood at a distance.
13 Ka karanga, ka mea, E kara, e Ihu, kia aroha ki a matou.
They lifted up their voices, 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.
When he saw them, he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” As they went, they were cleansed.
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.
One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
16 A takoto tapapa ana ia ki ona waewae, ka whakawhetai ki a ia: a no Hamaria ia.
He fell on his face at Jesus’ 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?
Jesus answered, “Weren’t the 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.
Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
19 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika, haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai.
Then he said to him, “Get up, and go your way. Your faith has healed you.”
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:
Being asked by the Pharisees when God’s Kingdom would come, he answered them, “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come 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 will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom 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.
He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.
23 A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.
They will tell you, ‘Look, here!’ or ‘Look, there!’ Don’t go away or follow after 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, when it flashes out of one part under the sky, shines to another part under the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
25 Otiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.
But first, he must 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.
As it was in the days of Noah, even so it will also be in the days 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 ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ship, and the flood 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.
Likewise, even as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
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 in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from the sky and destroyed them all.
30 Ka pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.
It will be the same way in the day that the Son of Man is 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, he who will be on the housetop and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away. Let him who is in the field likewise not turn back.
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.
Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves 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 there will be two people in one bed. One will be taken and the other will be left.
35 Tokorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
There will be two grinding grain together. One will be taken and the other will be left.”
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.
They, answering, asked him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will also be gathered together.”
