Ruka 18
1 Na ka korero ia i tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou mo tenei, kia inoi ratou i nga wa katoa, kia kaua e ngoikore;
And he also spoke a parable to them about it being necessary to always pray, and not to give up,
2 I mea ia, I tetahi pa tera tetahi kaiwhakawa, he tangata kihai nei i wehi ki te Atua, kihai ano i hopohopo ki te tangata:
saying, In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God, and did not regard man.
3 I taua pa ano tetahi pouaru; a ka haere mai tera ki a ia, ka mea, Takitakina toku mate i toku hoa tauwhainga.
And a widow was in that city, and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of my opponent.
4 A he roa kihai ia i pai: muri iho ka mea ia i roto i a ia, Ahakoa kahore ahau e wehi ki te Atua, e hopohopo ki te tangata:
And for a time he would not, but after these things he said within himself, Although I fear not God, and regard not man,
5 Heoi ka porearea ahau i te pouaru nei, na ka takitakina e ahau tona mate, kei haere tonu mai ka mate ahau i te hoha.
yet because this widow causes me a beating, I will avenge her, lest by no end of coming she give me a black eye.
6 Ka mea te Ariki, Whakarongo ki ta te kaiwhakawa kino i mea ra.
And the Lord said, Hear ye what the unrighteous judge says.
7 A e kore ranei te Atua e ngaki i te mate o ana tangata i whiriwhiri ai, e karanga nei ki a ia i te ao, i te po, ahakoa whakaroa noa ia ki a ratou?
And God, will he, no, not do the vengeance of his chosen who cry out to him day and night, and yet being patient toward them?
8 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ka hohoro ia te takitaki i to ratou mate. Otira ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata, e rokohina mai ranei e ia he whakapono i runga i te whenua?
I say to you, that he will do their vengeance speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he then find faith on the earth?
9 Na ka korero ano ia i tenei kupu whakarite ki etahi, i whakamanawa nei ki a ratou ano he tika, i whakakorekore ki era atu katoa:
And he also spoke this parable to some of those who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous, and disdained other men.
10 Tokorua nga tangata i haere ki te temepara ki te inoi; he Parihi tetahi, ko tetahi he pupirikana.
Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector.
11 Tu ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tana karakia tenei, E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, no te mea kahore ahau e rite ki era atu tangata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, puremu, moku hoki te rite ki tenei pupirikana.
Having stood by himself, the Pharisee prayed these things: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, predatory, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12 Takirua aku nohoanga pukutanga i te wiki, e hoatu ana e ahau te wahi whakatekau o aku mea katoa.
I fast twice of the week. I tithe all things, as many as I acquire.
13 Ko te pupirikana ia i tu mai i tawhiti, kihai i mea kia anga ake ona kanohi ki te rangi, heoi patuki ana ki tona uma, ka mea, E te Atua, tohungia ahau, te tangata hara.
But the tax collector, having stood from afar, would not even lift his eyes to the sky, but beat upon his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to me a sinful man.
14 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Nui atu te tika o tenei i to tera i te hokinga ki tona whare: ki te whakanui hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.
I say to you, this man went down to his house justified rather than that man. Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
15 Na ka kawea mai e ratou ki a ia a ratou tamariki nonohi, kia pa ai ia ki a ratou: otiia, no te kitenga o ana akonga, ka riria atu ratou.
And they were also bringing the infants to him, so that he would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Otira ka karangatia atu ratou e Ihu ki a ia, ka mea ia, Tukua nga tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki ratou e araia atu: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
But having summoned them, Jesus said, Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kahore e rite te tango a tetahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki ta te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore rawa ia e tomo ki roto.
Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, will, no, not enter into it.
18 Na ka ui tetahi rangatira ki a ia, ka mea, E te kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, Good teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, he aha ahau i kiia ai e koe he pai? kahore tetahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.
And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
20 E matau ana koe ki nga ture, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka, Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea.
Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not give false testimony. Honor thy father and thy mother.
21 Na ka mea ia, Kua rite i ahau enei katoa no toku tamarikitanga ake.
And he said, All these things I have kept from my youth.
22 A, i te rongonga Ihu ki tenei, ka mea ki a ia, Kotahi te mea kahore ano i rite i a koe: hokona au mea katoa, ka tuwha atu ma nga mea rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
And when he heard these things, Jesus said to him, Yet one thing is lacking from thee. Sell all things, as many as thou have, and distribute to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
23 Na ka rongo ia ki enei mea, ka pouri rawa; he nui hoki ona taonga.
But when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
24 A ka kite a Ihu i a ia, ka mea, Ano te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!
And having seen him become very sorrowful, Jesus said, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
25 Erangi hoki te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira e takoto noa ana, he whakauaua rawa ia te tomo o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
For it is easier for a camel to enter in through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Na ka mea nga kaiwhakarongo, Ko wai ra e ora?
And those who heard it said, And who can be saved?
27 Otira i mea ia, Ko nga mea e kore e taea e te tangata, ka taea e te Atua.
And he said, The things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 A ka mea a Pita, Na, kua whakarerea nei e matou a matou nei mea, a kua aru i a koe.
And Peter said, Lo, we have left all and followed thee.
29 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore he tangata i whakarere, he whare, he wahine, he tuakana, he matua, he tamariki, i te whakaaro ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, that there is no man who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 A ka mau ia ki te tekau ma rua, ka mea ki a ratou, Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama, a ka rite katoa nga mea i tuhituhia e nga poropiti mo te Tama a te tangata.
And having taken along the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets about the Son of man will be completed.
32 Ka tukua hoki ia ki nga tauiwi, ka tawaia, ka whakatupuria kinotia, ka tuwhaina:
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
33 A ka oti ia te whiu, ka whakamatea: a i te toru o nga ra ka ara.
And after scourging, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise up.
34 A kihai ratou i matau ki tetahi o enei mea: he mea huna hoki i a ratou tenei kupu, kihai ratou i mohio ki nga mea i korerotia.
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not understand the things that were said.
35 A, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tera tetahi matapo e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana mana:
And it came to pass as he approached Jericho, a certain blind man sat beside the road begging.
36 A, i tona rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, He aha tenei?
And having heard a multitude going by, he inquired what this may be.
37 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko Ihu o Nahareta e haere ana.
And they informed him that Jesus the Nazarene passes by.
38 Katahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, E Ihu, e te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
39 Na ka riria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku: heoi rahi noa ake tana karanga, E te Tama a Rawiri, kia aroha ki ahau.
And those who went ahead rebuked him, so that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
40 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka mea kia arahina mai ki a ia: a, no ka tata, ka ui ki a ia,
And having stood still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he questioned him,
41 Ka mea, Kia ahatia koe e ahau? Ka mea ia, E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.
saying, What do thou that I would do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive sight.
42 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Titiro: na tou whakapono koe i whakaora.
And Jesus said to him, Receive sight. Thy faith has healed thee.
43 A titiro tonu ake ia, a aru ana i a ia, me te whakakororia i te Atua: a, no te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.
And immediately he received sight, and followed him glorifying God. And all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
