Matiu 11
1 A, ka mutu ta Ihu whakarite korero ki ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua, ka haere atu ia i reira ki te whakaako, ki te kauwhau ki o ratou pa.
And it happened that when Yeshua had finished instructing his twelve talmidim, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Na, i te rongonga o Hoani i roto i te whare herehere ki nga mahi a te Karaiti, ka tonoa e ia etahi o ana akonga,
Now when John heard in prison the works of the Messiah, he sent his talmidim
3 Ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ranei tenei e haere mai nei, me tatari ranei tatou ki tetahi atu?
and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?"
4 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a raua, Haere, korerotia ki a Hoani nga mea e rongo nei, e kite nei korua:
And Yeshua answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 Ko nga matapo e titiro ana, ko nga kopa e haereere ana, ko nga repera e meinga ana kia ma, ko nga turi e rongo ana, ko nga tupapaku e whakaarahia ana, a e kauwhautia ana te rongopai ki te hunga rawakore.
the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
6 A ka koa te tangata e kore e he ki ahau.
And blessed is he who is not offended by me."
7 A, i a raua e haere atu ana, ka timata a Ihu, ka korerotia a Hoani ki te mano, I haere koutou ki te koraha kia kite i te aha? I te kakaho e whakangaueuetia ana e te hau?
And as these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the crowds concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te tangata he kakahu maeneene ona? Na kei nga whare kingi te hunga i nga kakahu maeneene.
But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft things are in kings' houses.
9 Ano ra i haere koutou kia kite i te aha? I te poropiti? Ae ra, ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, tera atu ano i te poropiti.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
10 Ko ia hoki tenei mona te mea i tuhituhia, Na, ka tonoa e ahau taku karere ki mua i tou aroaro, mana e whakapai tou ara ki mua i a koe.
This is the one of whom it is written, 'Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
11 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ano i maea ake i roto i nga whanau a te wahine he rahi ake i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: heoi rahi ake i a ia te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
Truly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Immerser; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 A no nga ra mai ano i a Hoani Kaiiriiri a mohoa noa nei e tukinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, a e riro ana ia i te ringa kaha o nga tangata taikaha.
And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent are taking it by force.
13 No te mea i poropiti nga poropiti katoa me te ture a taea noatia a Hoani.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 A, ki te pai koutou koia ra, ko Iraia tenei, i meinga ra e haere mai ana.
And if you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 Ki te whai taringa tetahi hei whakarongo, kia rongo ia.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Otiia me whakarite e ahau tenei whakatupuranga ki te aha? E rite ana ki nga tamariki e noho ana i nga wahi hokohoko, e karanga ana ki o ratou hoa,
"But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 E mea ana, Whakatangi noa matou i te putorino ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i kanikani mai; aue noa matou ki a koutou, a kahore koutou i tangi mai.
and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance. We wailed in mourning, and you did not mourn.'
18 I haere mai hoki a Hoani, kihai i kai, kihai i inu, heoi e mea ana ratou, He rewera tona.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
19 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai me te inu, ka mea ratou, Na, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu waina, he hoa no nga pupirikana, no nga tangata hara! Otira ma ana mahi e whakatika te whakaaro nui.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is justified by her children."
20 Katahi ia ka anga ka tawai ki nga pa i meinga ai te maha o ana merekara, mo ratou kihai i ripeneta:
Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 Aue, te mate mou, e Korahina! aue, te mate mou, e Petahaira! me i meatia ki Taira, ki Hairona nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a korua, kua ripeneta ke raua, he taratara te kakahu me te oke i te pungarehu.
"Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Beit Tzaidah. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to Taira raua ko Hairona e mama i te ra whakawa i to korua.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
23 Me koe hoki, e Kaperenauma, e whakateiteitia ranei koe a tae noa ki te rangi? ka heke koe ki te reinga: me i meatia hoki ki Horoma nga merekara kua meatia nei ki a koe, kua tu tonu tera a taea noatia tenei ra. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Kfar-Nahum, who are exalted to heaven, you will be brought down to Sheol. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma e mama i tou i te ra whakawa.
But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you."
25 I taua wa ka oho a Ihu, ka mea, He whakawhetai atu taku ki a koe, e Pa, e te Ariki o te rangi o te whenua, no te mea kua huna e koe enei mea i te hunga matau, i te hunga mahara, a hurahia ana ki nga kohungahunga.
At that time, Yeshua answered, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to little children.
26 Ae ra, e Pa; i pai hoki te penei ki tau titiro.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
27 Kua tukua mai nga mea katoa ki ahau e toku Matua: a kahore tetahi e matau ki te Tama, ko te Matua anake; kahore hoki tetahi e matau ki te Matua, ko te Tama anake, me te tangata hoki e pai ai te Tama kia whakakitea ki a ia.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
28 Haere mai ki ahau, e koutou katoa e mauiui ana, e taimaha ana, a maku koutou e whakaokioki.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Tangohia taku ioka ki runga ki a koutou, kia whakaakona koutou e ahau; he ngakau mahaki hoki toku, he ngakau papaku: a e whiwhi koutou ki te okiokinga mo o koutou wairua.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
30 He ngawari hoki taku ioka, he mama taku pikaunga.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
