Matiu 7
1 Kaua e whakawa, kei whakawakia koutou.
"Do not judge, so that you won't be judged.
2 Na, ko te whakawakanga e whakawa ai koutou, koia ano hei whakawakanga mo koutou: a ko te mehua e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou.
For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
3 A he aha tau e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina, te mahara ki te kurupae i roto i tou?
And why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Me pehea ranei tau kupu ki tou teina, Iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i tou kanohi; a he kurupae ano tena kei roto i tou?
Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and look, the log is in your own eye?
5 E te tangata tinihanga, matua kapea e koe te kurupae i tou kanohi; katahi koe ka marama ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina.
You hypocrite. First remove the log out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.
6 Kaua e hoatu te mea tapu ki nga kuri, kaua ano e maka a koutou peara ki te aroaro o nga poaka, kei takatakahia e o ratou waewae, a ka tahuri, ka haehae i a koutou.
"Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, or they will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.
7 Inoia, a ka hoatu ki a koutou; rapua, a ka kitea e koutou; patoto, a ka uakina ki a koutou;
"Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
8 Ka whiwhi hoki te tangata ina inoi, ka kite ina rapu; ka uakina hoki ki te tangata e patoto ana.
For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
9 Ko tehea tangata ianei o koutou, ina inoi tana tama ki a ia he taro, e hoatu ki a ia he kohatu?
Or who is there among you, who, if his son will ask him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 A inoi ranei he ika, e hoatu ki a ia he nakahi?
Or if he will ask for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
11 Na ki te matau koutou, te hunga kino, ki te hoatu mea papai ki a koutou tamariki, tera noa ake te homaitanga o nga mea papai e to koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e inoi ana ki a ia.
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him.
12 Na ko nga mea katoa, e pai ai koutou kia meatia e nga tangata ki a koutou, meatia hoki e koutou ki a ratou: ko tenei hoki ta te ture me ta nga poropiti.
Therefore whatever you desire for people to do to you, so also you should do to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 E tomo ma te kuwaha whaiti: he wharahi hoki te kuwaha, he whanui te ara, e tika ana ki te ngaromanga, a he tokomaha e haere ana ra reira.
"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
14 He kuiti hoki te kuwaha, he kiki te ara e tika ana ki te ora, a he tokoiti te hunga e kite.
How narrow is the gate, and difficult is the way that leads to life. Few are those who find it.
15 Kia tupato ki nga poropiti teka e haere nei ki a koutou, he hipi te kakahu, ko roto ia he wuruhi kai kino.
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves.
16 Ma o ratou hua ka mohiotia ai ratou e koutou. E whakiia ranei te karepe i runga i te tataramoa, te piki ranei i te tumatakuru?
By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 Waihoki he ataahua nga hua o te rakau pai; he kino ia nga hua o te rakau kino.
Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
18 E kore te rakau pai e ahei te hua i te hua kino, e kore ano te rakau kino e hua i te hua ataahua.
A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
19 Ko nga rakau katoa e kore nei e hua i te hua ataahua ka tuaina ki raro, ka maka ki te ahi.
Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.
20 Ina, ma o ratou hua ka mohiotia ai ratou e koutou.
Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.
21 E kore e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi nga tangata katoa e mea mai ana ki ahau, E te Ariki, e te Ariki; engari ia e mea ana i ta toku Matua i te rangi i pai ai.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 He tokomaha e mea mai ki ahau i taua ra, E te Ariki, e te Ariki; kihai koia matou i poropiti i runga i tou ingoa? i pei rewera hoki i runga i tou ingoa? he tini hoki nga mahi nunui i meatia e matou i runga i tou ingoa?
Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did not we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?'
23 Ko reira ahau mea ai ki a ratou, Kahore rawa ahau i mohio ki a koutou; mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi i te tutu.
And then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'
24 Na ko te tangata e rongo ana ki enei kupu aku, e mahi ana hoki, ka whakaritea e ahau ki te tangata mahara, i hanga i tona whare ki runga ki te kamaka:
"Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, will be compared to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
25 A ka ua te ua, ka puta nga waipuke, ka pupuhi nga hau, te tino akinga ki taua whare; kihai hoki i hinga: no te mea i hanga ki runga ki te kamaka.
And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 A ko te tangata e rongo ana ki enei kupu aku, a kahore e mahi, ka whakaritea ki te tangata whakaarokore i hanga i tona whare ki runga ki te onepu:
And everyone who hears these words of mine, and does not do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
27 Na ka ua te ua, ka puta nga waipuke, ka pupuhi nga hau, a pa ana ki taua whare; na kua hinga: he rahi ano tona hinganga.
And the rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall."
28 A, no ka mutu enei korero a Ihu, ka miharo te whakaminenga ki tana ako:
And it happened, when Yeshua had finished saying these things, that the crowds were astonished at his teaching,
29 I rite hoki tana ako i a ratou ki ta te tangata whai mana, kihai hoki i rite ki ta nga karaipi.
for he taught them with authority, and not like their scribes.
