Ruka 21
1 Na ka titiro ake ia, ka kite i te hunga taonga, e maka ana i a ratou moni hoatu noa ki te takotoranga moni.
He looked up and saw the rich people who were putting their gifts into the treasury.
2 A ka kite ia i tetahi pouaru rawakore, e maka ana i nga moni nohinohi rawa e rua ki reira.
He saw a certain poor widow casting in two small brass coins.
3 Na ka mea ia, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, nui ke ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai i a ratou katoa:
He said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them,
4 Ko ratou katoa hoki e maka ana ko tetahi wahi o a ratou mea hira noa atu ki roto ki nga moni tuku noa, ko ia o tona rawakoretanga e maka ana i tona oranga katoa.
for all these put in gifts for God from their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, put in all that she had to live on.”
5 A i etahi e korero ana ki te temepara, ka oti nei te whakapaipai ki nga kohatu papai, ki nga whakahere, ka mea ia,
As some were talking about the temple and how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts, he said,
6 Na, ko enei mea e kite nei koutou, tera e tae mai nga ra e kore ai e toe tetahi kohatu i runga i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.
“As for these things which you see, the days will come in which there will not be left here one stone on another that will not be thrown down.”
7 Na ka ui ratou ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, ko a hea enei mea? he aha hoki te tohu ina tata enei mea te puta?
They asked him, “Rabbi, so when will these things be? What is the sign that these things are about to happen?”
8 A ka mea ia, Kia mahara kei mamingatia koutou: he tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia: kua tata te taima: na, kei whai i muri i a ratou.
He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.
9 Na ka rongo koutou ki nga taua ki nga whakaoho, kaua e mataku: kua takoto hoki te tikanga mo enei mea kia matua puta mai; taihoa ia te mutunga.
When you hear of wars and disturbances, don’t be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end won’t come immediately.”
10 Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Ka whakatika tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga;
Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Tera hoki e puta nga ru nunui, a i nga tini wahi ka pa te matekai me nga mate uruta; me nga mea whakamataku hoki, me nga tohu nunui o te rangi.
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
12 A ko mua ake i enei mea katoa pa ai o ratou ringa ki a koutou, tukino ai i a koutou, tuku ai i a koutou ki nga whare whakawa, ki nga whare herehere, me te arahi i a koutou ki nga kingi, ki nga kawana, mo toku ingoa.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name’s sake.
13 A ka waiho ki a koutou hei tohu whakaatu.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
14 Na whakatatutia iho ki o koutou ngakau, kia kaua e whakaaroa wawetia ta koutou kupu e whakahoki atu ai:
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
15 Maku hoki e hoatu ki a koutou he mangai, he matauranga, e kore e taea te whakakahore, te pehi, e o koutou hoa whawhai katoa.
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
16 A ka tukua atu koutou e nga matua, e nga teina, e nga whanaunga, e nga hoa; ka whakamatea ano etahi o koutou.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
17 Ka kino ano nga tangata katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.
18 Otiia e kore e ngaro tetahi makawe o o koutou upoko.
And not a hair of your head will perish.
19 Ma te manawanui e mau ai o koutou wairua.
“By your endurance you will win your lives.
20 Otira ka kite koutou i Hiruharama e karapotia ana e nga taua, ko reira koutou mohio ai, kua tata tona whakangaromanga.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.
21 Hei reira kia oma te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga; me te hunga i waenganui ona kia haere atu ki waho; kei haere hoki ki reira te hunga i nga tuawhenua.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let those who are in the middle of her depart. Let those who are in the country not enter therein.
22 Ko nga ra hoki enei o te rapunga utu, e rite ai nga mea katoa kua oti te tuhituhi.
For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Otira, aue te mate o te hunga e hapu ana, o nga mea e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra! e nui hoki te aitua ki te whenua, me te riri ki tenei iwi.
Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who nurse infants in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath to this people.
24 A ka hinga ratou i te mata o te hoari, ka riro parau ki nga iwi katoa: a ka takahia Hiruharama e nga tauiwi, kia rite ra ano nga wa o nga tauiwi.
They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 A ka whai tohu te ra, te marama, me nga whetu, a ki runga ki te whenua he pawera no nga tauiwi, he tumatatenga ki te haruru o te moana, o te ngaru;
“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
26 Ka whiti nga tangata i te mataku, i te manawapa ki nga mea e puta mai ana ki te ao: e ngaueue hoki nga mea kaha o nga rangi.
men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 KO reira ratou kite ai i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i te kapua, me te kaha, me te kororia nui.
Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 A, no ka timata enei mea te puta, titiro ake, kia ara hoki o koutou matenga; ka tata hoki to koutou whakaoranga.
But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”
29 Na ka korerotia e ia tetahi kupu whakarite ki a ratou; Titiro ki te piki, ki nga rakau katoa;
He told them a parable. “See the fig tree and all the trees.
30 I te mea e pihi ana, na ka kite koutou, ka matau noa ake, kua tata te raumati.
When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
31 Waihoki, ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea e puta ana, ka matau kua tata te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
32 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa e pahemo tenei whakatupuranga, kia puta ra ano enei mea katoa.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
33 E pahemo te rangi me te whenua; ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 Otira kia tupato ki a koutou ano, kei taimaha o koutou ngakau i te kakai, i te haurangi, i nga raruraru o te ao, a ka puta whakarere mai taua ra, ano he reti, ki a koutou:
“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.
35 Ka puta hoki ki nga tangata katoa e noho ana i te mata o te whenua katoa.
For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth.
36 Mo konei ra kia mataara, i nga wa katoa kia inoi tonu, kia paingia ai koutou kia mawhiti i enei mea katoa meake nei puta, kia tu hoki i te aroaro o te Tama a te tangata.
Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 A i ia ra e whakaako ana ia i roto i te temepara; a ia ia po e haere ana, ka noho i te maunga e kiia nei ko te maunga o nga Oriwa.
Every day Yeshua was teaching in the temple, and every night he would go out and spend the night on the mountain that is called Olivet.
38 A i te atatu ka haere mai nga tangata ki a ia ki te temepara, ki te whakarongo ki a ia.
All the people came early in the morning to him in the temple to hear him.
