Matthew 18-25
Maori Bible
18 I taua wa ka haere mai nga akonga ki a Ihu, ka mea, Ko wai te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi?
2 Na ka karangatia e Ihu tetahi tamaiti nohinohi, ka whakaturia e ia ki waenganui i a ratou,
3 Ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kore koutou e tahuri, a e penei me nga tamariki nonohi, e kore koutou e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
4 Na, ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, a ka rite ki tenei tamaiti nohinohi, ko ia te nui rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
5 A, ki te manako tetahi ki tetahi tamaiti nohinohi penei, he whakaaro hoki ki toku ingoa, e manako ana ki ahau.
6 Tena ko tenei, ka he i tetahi tangata tetahi o enei mea nonohi e whakapono nei ki ahau, nui ke te pai ki a ia me i whakawerewerea ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, me i pungaia ia ki te rire o te moana.
7 Aue te mate mo te ao i nga take he! kua tino takoto rawa hoki he putanga mo nga take he; otiia aue te mate no tera tangata e puta ai te take he!
8 Ki te he koe i tou ringa, i tou waewae ranei, poutoa, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo ki te ora he kopa, he ringa mutu, i te maka ki te ahi ka tonu, he ringa rua, he waewae rua.
9 Ki te he hoki koe i tou kanohi, tikarohia, maka atu: pai ke hoki mou te tomo kanohi tahi ki te ora, i te maka kanohi rua ki te kapura o Kehena.
10 Kia mahara kei whakahawea ki tetahi o enei mea nohinohi: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E titiro tonu ana o ratou anahera i te rangi ki te kanohi o toku Matua i te rangi.
11 I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.
12 Pehea to koutou whakaaro? ki te mea he rau nga hipi a tetahi tangata, a ka kotiti ke tetahi, e kore ianei e waiho e ia nga iwa tekau ma iwa, ka haere i runga i nga maunga, rapu ai i te mea i kotiti ke?
13 A, ki te kitea, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, tera atu, tona hari ki taua hipi, i te hari ki nga iwa tekau ma iwa kihai i kotiti ke.
14 Waihoki kahore he ngakau o to koutou Matua i te rangi kia ngaro tetahi o enei mea nonohi.
15 A, ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, haere, korerotia tona hara ki a ia, korua anake: ki te whakarongo ia ki a koe, ka riro i a koe tou teina.
16 A, ki te kore ia e whakarongo, kawea atu hei hoa mou kia kotahi, kia tokorua ranei, kia mau ai nga kupu katoa i nga mangai o nga kaiwhakarongo tokorua, tokotoru ranei.
17 A, kite pake ia ki a raua, korerotia ki te hahi: a ki te pake ano ia ki te hahi, me waiho e koe hei tautangata, hei pupirikana.
18 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko a koutou e here ai i te whenua e herea ano ki te rangi: ko a koutou e wewete ai i te whenua e wetekia ano ki te rangi.
19 Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te mea ka tokorua o koutou e rite tahi ana nga whakaaro i te whenua mo tetahi mea e inoi ai raua, e meinga ano mo raua e toku Matua i te rangi.
20 Na, ko te wahi e whakaminea ai te hunga tokorua, tokotoru ranei, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kei reira ahau kei waenganui i a ratou.
21 Katahi ka haere a Pita ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia hia nga haranga o toku teina ki ahau, me taku whakarere noa iho i tona hara? kia whitu?
22 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, E kore ahau e mea ki a koe, Kia whitu: engari, Kia whitu tekau whitu.
23 Koia ka rite ai te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi kingi, i mea kia korerotia ki a ia ana moni e ana pononga.
24 A, ka timata ia te ui, ka kawea ki a ia he tangata, tekau mano nga taranata i a ia.
25 A te whai rawa ia hei utu, ka mea tona ariki kia hokona ia, tana wahine me ana tamariki, me ana taonga katoa, hei whakautu.
26 Na ka tapapa iho taua pononga, ka koropiko ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.
27 Na ka oho i te aroha te ariki o taua pononga, tuku ana i a ia, a whakarerea noatia iho e ia ana moni tarewa.
28 Heoi te putanga o taua pononga ki waho, ka kite i tetahi o ona hoa pononga, kotahi rau ana pene i a ia: na hopukia ana e ia, notia iho te kaki, me te ki ano, Utua taku nama.
29 Heoi tapapa ana tona hoa pononga ki ona waewae, ka inoi ka a ia, ka mea, Kia ata hanga ki ahau, a ka utua katoatia e ahau ki a koe.
30 A kihai ia i pai: heoi haere ana, maka ana i a ia ki te whare herehere, kia utua katoatia ra ano te nama.
31 Heoi, no te kitenga o ona hoa pononga i taua meatanga, nui atu to ratou pouri, a haere ana, whakaaturia ana ki to ratou ariki nga mea katoa i meatia.
32 Katahi ka karanga tona ariki i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, i whakarerea noatia e ahau taua moni tarewa katoa i a koe, nau hoki i inoi ki ahau:
33 Ehara oti i te tika kia tohungia e koe tou hoa pononga, me ahau hoki i tohu i a koe?
34 Na ka riri tona ariki, a tukua ana ia ki nga kaiwhakamamae, kia utua katoatia ra ano tana nama.
35 Tera ano e pera toku Matua i te rangi ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarerea noatia i roto i o koutou ngakau nga he o te teina o tenei, o tenei, o koutou.
19 A, ka mutu enei kupu a Ihu, ka turia atu e ia i Kariri, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Huria, ki tawahi atu o Horano;
2 He rahi hoki te hui i aru i a ia; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i reira.
3 Na ka haere mai nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine mo tetahi take?
4 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa, i hanga raua e te Kaihanga i te timatanga, he tane, he wahine,
5 I mea ano ia, Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa, tona wahea, ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua?
6 Na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko. Na ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.
7 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha ra a Mohi i ako ai kia hoatu he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai i a ia?
8 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tukua ai koutou e Mohi kia whakarere i a koutou wahine: i te timatanga iho ia kahore i pena.
9 A tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, ehara nei i te take moepuku, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.
10 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, Ki te penei te tikanga mo te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ehara te marena.
11 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, E kore tenei kupu e rite i nga tangata katoa, engari i te hunga i hoatu ai.
12 He unaka hoki etahi no te whanautanga mai i te kopu o te whaea: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na te tangata: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na ratou ano, he whakaaro hoki ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ki te taea tenei te whakarite e teta hi, mana e whakarite.
13 I reira ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapa ai ia i ona ringa ki a ratou, kia inoi: a riria iho ratou e nga akonga.
14 Na ko te kianga a Ihu, Tukua mai nga tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e araia atu ta ratou haere mai ki ahau: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
15 A whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ratou, a haere atu ana i reira.
16 Na ka haere mai tetahi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he aha te mahi pai maku, e whiwhi ai ahau ki te ora tonu?
17 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, He aha ka ui koe ki ahau mo te mea pai? Tera ano tetahi i pai, kotahi tonu: ki te mea koe kia tomo ki te ora, whakaritea nga ture.
18 Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ko ehea? Na ka mea a Ihu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka,
19 Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: me tenei, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.
20 Ka mea taua taitama ki a ia, Kua rite i ahau enei mea katoa no toku tamarikitanga: tena hoki tetahi mea e hapa ana i ahau?
21 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ou taonga, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.
22 Na, ka rongo taua taitama i taua kupu, haere pouri ana ia: he maha hoki ona taonga.
23 Ka mea a Ihu ki ana akonga, He pono taku kupu ki a koutou, E tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
24 Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, He ngawari ke atu te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
25 A, no ka rongo ana akonga, nui rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea, Ko wai ra e ora?
26 Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te tangata e kore tenei e taea; ki te Atua ia e taea nga mea katoa.
27 Katahi ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Na, kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe, he aha ra ma matou?
28 Ka ki a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko koutou i aru nei i ahau, kia taea te whanautanga houtanga, te wa e noho ai te Tama a te tangata ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia, ka noho ano koutou ki runga ki etahi torona kota hi tekau ma rua, ki te whakawa i nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.
29 A, ki te mea kua mahue i tetahi he whare, he teina, he tuahine ranei, he papa, he whaea, he tamariki, he whenua, i tona whakaaro ki toku ingoa, ka tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, a ka whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu.
30 He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri ki mua.
20 He rite hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi rangatira whare, i haere i te atatu ki te korero kaimahi mo tana mara waina.
2 A, no ka oti te whakarite ki nga kaimahi kia kotahi ra he pene, tonoa ana ratou e ia ki tana mara waina.
3 A ka haere atu ia i te toru o nga haora, ka kite i etahi atu e tu mangere ana i te kainga hokohoko,
4 Ka mea ki a ratou, Haere hoki koutou ki te mara waina, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou te mea e tika ana. Na haere ana ratou.
5 I haere ano ia i te ono, i te iwa o nga haora, a pera ana ano.
6 I te tekau ma tahi o nga haora ka haere atu ano ia, ka kite i etahi atu e tu ana, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha ta koutou e tu mangere i konei i te ra roa nei?
7 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No te mea ra kahore he tangata i korero ki a matou ki te mahi. Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere ano koutou ki te mara waina, ko te mea tika koia tera e whiwhi ai koutou.
8 A, no te ahiahi ka mea te rangatira o te mara waina ki tana kaiwhakahauhau, Karangatia nga kaimahi, utua hoki ratou, hei o muri timata ai puta noa ki o mua.
9 A, no te taenga mai o te hunga i korerotia i te tekau ma tahi o nga haora, kotahi te pene i riro i tetahi, i tetahi.
10 Ka tae ano o mua, hua noa ratou tera atu te mea e riro i a ratou; heoi katahi ano te pene i riro i a ratou.
11 A, no ka riro i a ratou, ka amuamu ki taua rangatira whare,
12 Ka mea, Kotahi te haora i mahi ai enei o muri, a ka oti ratou te whakarite ki a matou, ki te hunga i pehia nei e te taimaha e te tikakatanga o te ra.
13 A ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki tetahi o ratou, E hoa, kahore aku he ki a koe: kihai koe i whakarite ki ahau me pene?
14 Tangohia tau, haere: e pai ana ahau kia rite ki tau te mea e hoatu ki tenei o muri.
15 Ehara ianei i te tika kia meatia e ahau taku e pai ai ki aku mea? He kino oti tou kanohi no te mea he pai ahau?
16 Heoi, ko o muri e meinga ki mua, ko o mua ki muri: he tokomaha hoki e karangatia, he ruarua ia e whiriwhiria.
17 A, i a Ihu e haere ana ki Hiruharama, i a ratou i te ara, ka kawea e ia ana akonga kotahi tekau ma rua ki tahaki, a ka mea ki a ratou,
18 Na e haere ana tenei tatou ki Hiruharama; a ka tukua te Tama a te tangata ki nga tohunga nui, ki nga karaipi, ka kiia ia e ratou kia mate,
19 Ka tukua ia ki nga tauiwi kia tawaia, kia whiua, kia ripekatia: a i te toru o nga ra ka whakaarahia ake.
20 Me i reira ka tae ki a ia te whaea o nga tama a Heperi, ratou ko ana tama, a ka koropiko, ka inoi ki tetahi mea i a ia.
21 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, He hiahia aha tou? Ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakaaetia enei tama tokorua aku, kia noho, tetahi ki tou matau, tetahi ki tou maui, i tou rangatiratanga.
22 Otira ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, Kahore korua e mohio ki ta korua e inoi nei. E ahei ranei korua te inu i te kapu meake inumia e ahau, kia iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau? Ka mea raua ki a ia, E ahei ano.
23 Ka mea ia ki a raua, E inu ano korua i taku kapu, e iriiria ki te iriiringa e iriiria ai ahau: ko te noho ia ki toku matau, ki toku maui, ehara i ahau mana e hoatu, engari ka riro i te hunga i whakaritea nei e toku Matua mo ratou.
24 A, no ka rongo te tekau, ka riri ki aua hoa tokorua.
25 Otira ka karangatia ratou e Ihu, a ka mea ia, E matau ana koutou, ko nga kawana o nga tauiwi hei whakatupu rangatira ki a ratou, ko nga tangata rarahi hei akiaki i a ratou.
26 E kore e pera i roto i a koutou: engari ki te mea tetahi kia tupu ia hei tangata nui i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu kaimahi ia ma koutou;
27 A ki te mea tetahi kia tupu ko ia hei tino tangata i roto i a koutou, me whakatupu pononga ia ma koutou:
28 Pera i te Tama a te tangata, kihai nei i haere mai kia mahia he mea mana, engari kia mahi ia, a kia tuku i a ia kia mate hei whakautu mo nga tangata tokomaha.
29 A, i a ratou e haere atu ana i Heriko, he rahi te hui i aru i a ia.
30 Na tokorua nga matapo e noho ana i te taha o te ara: ka rongo raua ko Ihu tera e haere atu ana, ka karanga ake, ka mea, Kia aroha ki a maua, e te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri.
31 A i riria raua e te mano kia noho puku: heoi rahi ake ta raua karanga, ka mea, Kia aroha ki a maua, e te Ariki, e te Tama a Rawiri.
32 Na ka tu a Ihu, ka karanga i a raua, ka mea, Kia ahatia korua e ahau?
33 Ka mea raua ki a ia, E te Ariki, kia kite o maua kanohi.
34 Na ka aroha a Ihu, ka pa ki o raua kanohi: a titiro tonu ake o raua kanohi, a aru ana raua i a ia.
21 A, no ka tata ratou ki Hiruharama, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Oriwa, ka tonoa atu e Ihu nga akonga tokorua,
2 Ka mea ia ki a raua, Haere ki te kainga e anga mai ana ki a korua; na ka kite tonu korua i tetahi kaihe e here ana me tana kuao: wetekia, ka arahi mai ki ahau.
3 A, ki te whai kupu tetahi tangata ki a korua, ki atu, E mea ana te Ariki ki a raua mana; na ka tukua tonutia mai raua e ia.
4 I meinga tenei katoa hei whakarite mo te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai,
5 Mea atu ki te tamahine o Hiona, Na, ko tou kingi e haere mai na ki a koe, he ngakau mahaki tona, e noho ana i runga i te kaihe, i te kuao hoki, i te tama a te kaihe.
6 Na haere ana nga akonga, meatia ana ta Ihu i mea ai ki a raua.
7 Arahina mai ana te kaihe me te kuao, wharikitia ana ki runga o raua kakahu, a noho ana ia ki runga.
8 A he nui rawa te hui ki te whariki i o ratou kakahu ki te ara; ko etahi i tapahi manga mai i nga rakau, a wharikitia ana ki te ara.
9 Ko nga mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri: Ka whakapaingia tenei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; Ohana i runga rawa.
10 A, no ka uru ia ki Hiruharama, ka oho katoa te pa, ka mea, Ko wai tenei?
11 Ka mea te mano, Ko Ihu tenei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Kariri.
12 A ka tomo a Ihu ki te temepara o te Atua, na peia katoatia ana e ia te hunga e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana i roto i te temepara, turakina ake nga tepu a nga kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me nga nohoanga o te hunga hoko kukupa,
13 A ka mea ki a ratou, Kua oti te tuhituhi, Ka kiia toku whare he whare inoi; heoi kua oti nei te mea e koutou hei ana mo nga kaipahua.
14 A i haere mai ki a ia ki roto ki te temepara nga matapo me nga kopa; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.
15 No te kitenga ia o nga tohunga nui, o nga karaipi i nga mea whakamiharo i meatia e ia, i nga tamariki hoki e karanga ana i te temepara, e mea ana, Ohana ki te Tama a Rawiri; ka riri ratou,
16 Ka mea ki a ia, E rongo ana koe ki ta enei e mea nei? Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Ae ra; kiano koutou i kite noa, Pumau tonu i a koe te whakamoemiti a te waha o nga kohungahunga, o nga mea ngote u?
17 A ka mahue ratou i a ia, haere ana ia ki waho o te pa, ki Petani; a moe ana i reira.
18 Na, i te ata, i a ia e hoki ana ki te pa, ka hiakai ia.
19 A, i tona kitenga i tetahi piki i te taha o te ara, ka haere ia ki taua rakau, heoi kihai i kitea tetahi mea i runga, he rau anake; ka mea ia ki te rakau, Kei whai hua koe a ake ake. A maroke tonu ake te piki.
20 A, no te kitenga o nga akonga, ka miharo, ka mea, I peheatia i hohoro ai te maroke o te piki nei?
21 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Me he whakapono to koutou, kahore i ruarua te whakaaro, e kore e meatia e koutou ko tenei anake i meatia nei ki te piki, engari ahakoa mea noa koutou ki tenei maunga, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakataka ki te moana; ka meatia.
22 Ko nga mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina inoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou.
23 A, ka tae ia ki roto ki te temepara, ka haere mai nga tohunga nui me nga kaumatua o te iwi, i a ia ano e ako ana, a ka mea, Tena koa te mana i meatia ai enei mea e koe? na wai i hoatu tenei mana ki a koe?
24 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Maku e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, ki te korerotia e koutou ki ahau, maku hoki e korero ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
25 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no hea koia? no te rangi, no nga tangata ranei? A ka korerorero ratou ki a ratou ano, ka mea, Ki te mea tatou, No te rangi; e mea mai ia ki a tatou, Ha, he aha koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia?
26 A, ki te mea tatou, No nga tangata; ka wehi tatou i te mano; ki ta ratou katoa hoki he poropiti a Hoani.
27 Na ka whakahoki ratou ki a Ihu, ka mea, Kahore matou e mohio. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, E kore ano e korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i enei mea.
28 Na e pehea ana to koutou whakaaro? Tokorua nga tama a tetahi tangata; a ka haere ia ki to mua, ka mea, E tama, haere ki te mahi aianei ki taku mara waina.
29 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau e pai: otira i muri iho ka puta ke tona whakaaro a haere ana.
30 A ka haere mai ia ki te tuarua, ka pera ano tana kupu. No ka whakahoki tera, ka mea, E kara, ka haere ahau: a kihai i tae.
31 Ko wai o taua tokorua i mea i ta tona matua i pai ai? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko to mua. Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau e tika ana i mua i a koutou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
32 I haere hoki a Hoani ki a koutou ra te ara o te tika, a kihai koutou i whakapono ki a ia: tena ko nga pupirikana me nga wahine kairau i whakapono ki a ia: ko koutou ia, i to koutou kitenga, kihai i puta ke o koutou whakaaro i muri, kihai i whaka pono ki a ia.
33 Whakarongo ki tetahi atu kupu whakarite: Tera tetahi rangatira whare i whakato i te mara waina, a taiepatia ana a taka noa, keria ana e ia te takahanga waina i roto, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, a haere ana ia ki tawhiti:
34 A, no ka tata te po hua, ka tonoa e ia ana pononga ki nga kaimahi, ki te tiki i ona hua.
35 Na ka mau nga kaimahi ki ana pononga, whiua ana tetahi, whakamatea ana tetahi, a akina ana tetahi ki te kohatu.
36 Na ka tonoa ano e ia etahi atu pononga, he tokomaha atu i o mua: heoi i peratia ano ratou.
37 Na, muri rawa iho, ka tono ia i tana tama ki a ratou, i mea ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.
38 No te kitenga ia o nga kaimahi i te tama, ka mea ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, ka tango i tona kainga.
39 Na ka maru ratou ki a ia, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina, a whakamatea iho.
40 Na, ina tae te rangatira o te mara waina, ka peheatia e ia aua kaimahi?
41 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Pouriuri ana aianei tana whakangaro i taua hunga whakarihariha; a ka tukua te mara waina ki etahi atu kaimahi, ki te hunga e tukua ai ki a ia nga hua i nga po hua.
42 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa i roto i nga karaipiture, ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei mo te kokonga: na te Ariki tenei, he mea whakamiharo hoki ki o tatou kanohi?
43 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangohia te rangatiratanga o te Atua i a koutou, a ka hoatu ki tetahi iwi, e puta ai nga hua o taua rangatiratanga.
44 Ko te tangata e hinga ki runga ki tenei kohatu, na mongamonga ana ia: ki te taka ia taua kohatu ki runga ki tetahi, na ngotangota noa ia me he puehu.
45 A, ka rongo nga tohunga nui me nga Parihi ki ana kupu whakarite, ka mohio mo ratou ana korero.
46 Na, i a ratou e whai ana kia hopukia ia, ka wehi i te mano, ki ta ratou hoki he poropiti ia.
22 A ka oho ake a Ihu, ka korero kupu whakarite ano ki a ratou, ka mea,
2 Ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki tetahi kingi, i whakatakoto marena mo tana tama,
3 A tonoa ana ana pononga, hei karanga i te hunga i korerotia ki te marena: heoi kihai ratou i pai ki te haere.
4 Ka tono ano ia i era atu pononga, ka mea, Mea atu ki te hunga i korerotia, Na kua rite taku hakari; kua oti aku puru, aku mea momona te patu, a kua rite katoa nga mea: haere mai ki te marena.
5 Otira i paopaongia e ratou, haere ana ko tetahi ki tana mara, ko tetahi ki tana hokohoko.
6 Na hopukina ana ana pononga e nga mea i mahue, tukinotia ana ratou, a whakamatea iho.
7 Otiia i riri te kingi: a tonoa atu ana ana taua, whakangaromia ana taua hunga kohuru, tahuna iho to ratou pa.
8 Katahi ia ka mea ki ana pononga, E rite ana te marena, ko te hunga ia i karangatia kihai i pai.
9 Na haere koutou ki nga pekanga o nga ara, a tonoa mai ki te marena te hunga katoa e kite ai koutou.
10 Na ka haere aua pononga ki nga ara, a huihuia katoatia ana te hunga i kitea e ratou, ana pai, ana kino: na kiki ana te marena i nga manuhiri.
11 Otiia, no te tapokoranga, o te kingi kia kite i nga manuhiri, ka kitea e ia i reira he tangata kahore nei ona kakahu marena:
12 A ka mea ki a ia, E hoa, he aha koe i tomo mai ai ki konei kahore nei ou kahu marena? Heoi kihai ia i kuihi.
13 Na ka mea te kingi ki nga kaimahi, Herea ona ringa, ona waewae, kawea atu, maka ki te pouri i waho rawa; ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
14 He tokomaha hoki e karangatia, he ruarua ia e whiriwhiria.
15 Me i reira ka haere nga Parihi, ka runanga ki te pehea e mau ai tetahi kupu ana.
16 A ka tonoa ki a ia a ratou akonga me nga tangata piri ki a Herora, hei mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, e matau ana matou he pono koe, e whakaako ana koe i te ara a te Atua i runga i te pono, e kore ano ta te tangata e whakaaroa e koe: e kore nei hoki koe e titiro ki te kanohi tangata.
17 Tena, korerotia ki a matou, E pehea ana tou whakaaro? He mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, kahore ranei?
18 Otiia i mohio a Ihu ki to ratou whakaaro kino, a ka mea, He aha ta koutou e whakamatautau na i ahau, e te hunga tinihanga?
19 Tena koa, kia kite ahau i te moni takoha. A mauria mai ana e ratou ki a ia he pene.
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, No wai tenei ahua me te tuhituhinga?
21 Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No Hiha. Katahi ia ka mea ki a ratou, Hoatu ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha; ki te Atua ano nga mea a te Atua.
22 Ka rongo ratou, ka miharo: a mahue ake ia i a ratou, a haere ana ratou.
23 I taua ra ka haere mai ki a ia nga Haruki, e mea nei kahore he aranga, ka ui ki a ia,
24 Ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, i mea a Mohi, Ki te mate te tangata, a kahore ana tamariki, ma tona teina e marena tana wahine, e whakatupu ake he uri mo tona tuakana.
25 Na tokowhitu tetahi whanau i a matou, he tuakana, he teina: te marenatanga o te tuatahi, ka mate, a hore ona uri, waiho iho tana wahine ma tona teina.
26 Me te tuarua ano, me te tuatoru, puta noa i te tuawhitu.
27 A, muri iho i a ratou katoa, ka mate te wahine.
28 Na, i te aranga, ma wai o te tokowhitu te wahine? i a ratou katoa nei hoki ia.
29 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, E he ana koutou, te mohio ki nga karaipiture, ki te kaha ano o te Atua.
30 I te aranga hoki e kore ratou e marena, e kore ano e hoatu kia marenatia, engari ka rite ki nga anahera a te Atua i te rangi.
31 Na, ko te aranga o te hunga mate, kahore ano koutou i kite i ta te Atua i korero ai ki a koutou, i mea ai,
32 Ko ahau te Atua o Aperahama, te Atua o Ihaka, te Atua o Hakopa? ehara te Atua i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari no te hunga ora.
33 A, no ka rongo te mano, ka miharo ki tana ako.
34 No te rongonga ia o nga Parihi, kua kapi i a ia te mangai o nga Haruki, ka whakamine tahi ratou.
35 Na ka ui tetahi o ratou, he kaiako i te ture, ka whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea,
36 E te Kaiwhakaako, ko tehea te kupu nui o te ture?
37 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia whakapaua tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.
38 Ko te tuatahi tenei, ko te kupu nui.
39 He rite ano te tuarua ki tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.
40 Kei runga i enei kupu e rua e iri ana te ture me nga poropiti.
41 A, i nga Parihi e noho huihui ana, ka ui a Ihu ki a ratou,
42 Ka mea, He pehea o koutou whakaaro ki a te Karaiti? Na wai ia tama? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Na Rawiri.
43 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, He aha ra a Rawiri, i a ia e nohoia ana e te Wairua, i karanga ai i a ia he Ariki? i mea hoki ia,
44 I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.
45 Na, ka kiia nei ia e Rawiri he Ariki, he pehea i tama ai ki a ia?
46 A hore he tangata i ahei te whakahoki kupu ki a ia, kihai rawa ano tetahi i maia ki te ui ki a ia i taua ra iho ano.
23 Me i reira ka korero a Ihu ki te mano, ki ana akonga hoki,
2 Ka mea, Kei te nohoanga o Mohi nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi e noho ana:
3 Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai ratou hei pupuri ma koutou, puritia, mahia; kei rite ia a koutou mahi ki a ratou mahi: ko ta ratou hoki he korero, kahore he mahi.
4 E hereherea ana hoki e ratou nga wahanga taimaha, he uaua me ka pikaua, a whakawaha iho ki runga ki nga pokohiwi o te tangata; heoi kahore ratou e pai kia whakakorikoria ki tetahi o o ratou maihao.
5 Ko a ratou mahi katoa e meatia ana hei matakitaki ma te tangata; e whakawhanuitia ana e ratou a ratou pairakere; e whakanuia ana ano nga taniko o o ratou kakahu;
6 Ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia,
7 Me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko, a kia karangatia e te tangata, E Rapi.
8 Otiia aua koutou e karangatia, E Rapi: kotahi hoki to koutou kaiwhakaako; a he tuakana, he teina, koutou katoa.
9 Kaua ano tetahi e kiia hei matua mo koutou i runga i te whenua: kotahi hoki to koutou Matua, ko tera i te rangi.
10 Kaua ano koutou e kiia he kaiarahi: kotahi ano to koutou kaiarahi, ko te Karaiti.
11 Ko te mea nui rawa hoki o koutou, hei kaimahi ia ma koutou.
12 Ki te whakahira hoki tetahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; a ki te whakaiti tetahi i a ia, ka whakahirangia.
13 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e tutakina ana hoki e koutou te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga tangata: kahore koutou e tomo, kahore ano e tukua te hunga e tomo ana kia tapoko.
14 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! no te mea ka pau i a koutou nga whare o nga pouaru, a e maminga ana ki te inoi roa: mo reira he nui rawa te he e tau ki a koutou.
15 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e taiawhiotia ana hoki e koutou te moana me te whenua, kia tahuri mai ai tetahi hei porohiraiti, a, no ka riro mai, ka meinga ia e koutou hei tamaiti mo Kehena, kino noa atu i a koutou.
16 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga kaiarahi matapo, e mea nei, Ki te oatitia te whare tapu e tetahi, he mea noa ano; otira ki te oatitia e tetahi te koura o te whare tapu, ka mau tana!
17 E nga kuware, e nga matapo: ko tehea te mea nui, ko te koura ranei, ko te whare tapu ranei i tapu ai te koura?
18 Me tenei, Ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, he mea noa ano: otira ki te oatitia te whakahere i runga i te aata, ka mau tana.
19 E nga kuware, e nga matapo, ko tehea te mea nui, ko te whakahere, ko te aata ranei i tapu ai te whakahere?
20 Na, ki te oatitia e tetahi te aata, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me nga mea katoa i runga.
21 Ki te oatitia e tetahi te whare tapu, e oatitia ana e ia tera mea, me te kainoho o roto.
22 Ki te oatitia hoki e tetahi te rangi, e oatitia ana e ia te torona o te Atua, me te kainoho o runga.
23 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e hoatu ana e koutou te wahi whakatekau o te miniti, o te anihi, o te kumine, a kapea ake nga mea nunui o te ture, te whakawa, te tohu tangata, te whakapono: he tika kia meatia e koutou enei, engari kaua tera ra e kapea.
24 E nga kaiarahi matapo, e tatari nei i te waeroa, a horomia ake te kamera.
25 Aue, te mate mo koutou e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! e horoi nei i waho o te kapu, o te pereti, ko roto ia ki tonu i te pahua, i te taikaha.
26 E te Parihi matapo, matua horoia a roto o te kapu, o te pereti, kia ma ai hoki a waho.
27 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga! he rite hoki koutou ki nga urupa kua oti te pani ki te paru ma, ko waho he ataahua ki te titiro atu, ko roto ia ki tonu i nga koiwi tupapaku, i nga mea poke katoa.
28 He pena hoki koutou, ko waho e tika ana ki ta te tangata titiro, ko roto ia e ki ana i te tinihanga, i te kino.
29 Aue, te mate mo koutou, e nga karaipi, e nga Parihi, e te hunga tinihanga? ko koutou nei hoki hei hanga i nga tanumanga o nga poropiti, hei whakapaipai i nga urupa o nga tangata tika,
30 Me te ki ano, Me i nga ra tatou o o tatou matua, kihai tatou i uru tahi me ratou ki te whakaheke i te toto o nga poropiti.
31 He whakaatu tera na koutou, ko koutou nga tamariki a te hunga nana i patu nga poropiti.
32 Tena ra, kia ki a koutou te mehua a o koutou matua.
33 E nga neke, e te uri nakahi, me aha ka rere ai koutou i te kupu tuku ki te reinga?
34 Na ka tonoa atu e ahau ki a koutou nga poropiti, nga tangata mahara, nga karaipi: ko etahi o ratou e whakamatea e koutou, e ripekatia; ko etahi e whiua i roto i o koutou whare karakia, e whaia hoki i tetahi pa ki tetahi pa:
35 A ka utaina ki a koutou nga toto katoa o te hunga tika i whakahekea ki te whenua, no te toto o Apera, o te tangata tika tae iho ki te toto o Hakaraia, o te tama a Parakia, i kohurutia e koutou i waenganui o te whare tapu, o te aata.
36 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou. Tera e pa enei mea katoa ki tenei whakatupuranga.
37 E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe, ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro i ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!
38 Na ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana.
39 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau a mua ake nei, kia mea ra ano koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.
24 A ka puta atu a Ihu ki waho o te temepara, ka haere; na ka tae mai ana akonga ki a ia kia whakakitea ki a ia nga whare i hanga mo te temepara.
2 Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore ianei koutou e kite i enei mea katoa? He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e toe ki konei tetahi kohatu ki runga ake i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa katoatia.
3 A, i a ia e noho ana i runga i maunga Oriwa, ka haere puku mai nga akonga ki a ia, ka mea, Korerotia ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea? he aha te tohu o tou haerenga mai, o te mutunga hoki o te ao?
4 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata.
5 He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko te Karaiti ahau, a he tokomaha e whakapohehetia.
6 A tera koutou e rongo ki nga pakanga, ki nga hau korero pakanga: kia tupato kei ohorere koutou: ta te mea kua rite kia puta enei mea katoa, taihoa ia te mutunga.
7 E whakatika hoki tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga: a e puta nga po matekai, nga mate uruta, me nga ru, ki nga tini wahi.
8 Otira ko te timatanga kau enei katoa o nga mamae.
9 Ko reira koutou tukua ai kia tukinotia, a e whakamatea koutou; a e kino hoki nga iwi katoa ki a koutou, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa.
10 A he tokomaha e he, a ka tuku tetahi i tetahi, ka kino ano tetahi ki tetahi.
11 He tokomaha ano nga poropiti teka e whakatika, a he tokomaha e whakapohehetia e ratou.
12 A, i te kino ka hua, ka matoke haere te aroha o te tini tangata.
13 Ko te tangata ia e u ana, a taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia.
14 A e kauwhautia tenei rongopai o te rangatiratanga puta noa i te ao, hei mea whakaatu ki nga iwi katoa; a ko reira puta ai te mutunga.
15 A e kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro, i korerotia ai e Raniera poropiti, i a ia e tu ana i te wahi tapu, kia matau te kaititiro pukapuka,
16 Ko reira kia rere te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga:
17 Ko te tangata i runga i te whare, kei heke iho ki te tiki mea i roto i tona whare:
18 Kauaka ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki te tiki i ona kakahu.
19 Aue, te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!
20 Me inoi koutou kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke, i te hapati ranei:
21 Kei taua wa hoki te whiu nui, kahore ona rite mai o te timatanga o te ao a mohoa noa nei, e kore ano e pera a mua ake nei.
22 A, me i kahore aua ra i poroa i waenga, hore he kikokiko e ora: otira ka whakaaroa te hunga i whiriwhiria, a ka poroa aua ra.
23 Ki te mea tetahi ki a koutou i reira, Na, tenei a te Karaiti; na, tera; aua e whakaponohia.
24 E whakatika hoki nga Karaiti teka, me nga poropiti teka, a ka hoatu e ratou nga tohu nunui, me nga mea whakamiharo; a mehemea e taea, ka mamingatia ano te hunga i whiriwhiria.
25 Na kua korerotia wawetia nei e ahau ki a koutou.
26 Na, ahakoa mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, kei te koraha ia; aua e haere atu: Na, kei nga ruma o roto rawa; aua e whakaponohia.
27 Ka rite hoki ki te uira e puta mai nei i te rawhiti, a hiko tonu atu ki te uru, te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
28 Ko te wahi hoki i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga kahu.
29 A, muri tonu iho i te whakapawera i aua ra, ka whakapouritia te ra, e kore ano e titi te atarau, ka taka iho nga whetu i te rangi, a ka ngaueue nga mea kaha o nga rangi:
30 Ko reira ano puta ai te tohu o te Tama a te tangata i te rangi: a ko reira nga iwi katoa o te whenua tangi ai, a e kite ratou i te Tama a te tangata e haere mai ana i runga i nga kapua o te rangi me te kaha, me te kororia nui.
31 A, e tonoa e ia ana anahera me te tetere tangi nui, a ka huihuia e ratou ana i whiriwhiri ai i nga hau e wha, i tetahi pito o te rangi puta noa i tetahi pito.
32 Na kia akona koutou e te piki ki tetahi kupu whakarite: i tona manga e ngawari ana ano, a ka puta ona rau, ka mohio koutou ka tata te raumati:
33 Waihoki ko koutou, ina kite i enei mea katoa, ka matau koutou ka tata ia, kei nga kuwaha tonu.
34 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore rawa tenei whakatupuranga e pahemo, kia puta katoa ra ano enei mea.
35 Ko te rangi me te whenua e pahemo, ko aku kupu ia e kore e pahemo.
36 Otira kahore tetahi tangata e mohio ki taua ra, ki taua haora, kahore rawa nga anahera o te rangi, kahore te Tama a te tangata, ko toku Matua anake.
37 Ka rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
38 Ka rite hoki ki ta ratou i nga ra i mua atu o te waipuke; e kai ana, e inu ana, e marena ana, e hoatu ana kia marenatia, a tae noa ki te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki roto ki te aaka,
39 A kahore ratou i mohio, a pakaru noa te waipuke, a kahakina ana ratou katoa: e pera ano te haerenga mai o te Tama a te tangata.
40 I taua wa tokorua ki te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho:
41 Tokorua wahine e huri ana i te mira; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.
42 Kia mataara rapea; e kore hoki koutou e mohio ki te haora e puta mai ai to koutou Ariki.
43 Kia mohio ki tenei, me i matau te tangata o te whare ki te mataaratanga e puta ai te tahae, kua tautiaki ia, a kahore i tukua tona whare kia pokaia.
44 Na kia mataara hoki koutou: no te mea ka puta mai te Tama a te tangata i te haora e kore ai koutou e mahara.
45 Ko wai ra te pononga pono, mahara, i meinga e tona ariki hei rangatira mo ana tangata, hei hoatu i te kai ma ratou i te wa e tika ai?
46 Ka koa taua pononga ki te rokohanga e tona ariki, ina haere mai, e pera ana.
47 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ka meinga ia hei rangatira mo ona taonga katoa.
48 Otira ki te mea taua pononga kino i roto i tona ngakau, Ka roa te putanga mai o toku ariki;
49 A ka anga ka patu i ona hoa pononga, ka kai, ka inu tahi me te hunga haurangi;
50 E tae mai te ariki o taua pononga i te ra e kore ai ia e mahara, i te haora e kore ai ia e mohio,
51 Ka hatepea putia ia, ka meinga he wahi mona i roto i te hunga tinihanga: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
25 Na ka rite te rangatiratanga o te rangi ki nga wahine kotahi tekau, i mau i a ratou rama, a haere ana ki te whakatau i te tana marena hou;
2 Tokorima o ratou he maharakore, tokorima he mahara.
3 Ko nga mea maharakore i mau i a ratou rama, kihai ia i mau hinu:
4 Ko te hunga mahara i mau hinu atu i roto i a ratou ipu me a ratou rama.
5 Ka whakaroa te tane marena hou, ka tunewha ratou katoa, ka moe.
6 Na, i waenganui po, ka pa te karanga, E, ko te tane marena hou! Puta mai koutou ki te whakatau i a ia.
7 Katahi ka ara katoa aua wahine, ka whakapai i a ratou rama.
8 Na ka mea te hunga maharakore ki te hunga mahara, Homai ki a matou tetahi wahi o ta koutou hinu: ka pirau hoki a matou rama.
9 Na ka whakahoki te hunga mahara, ka mea, Kahore; kei kore e ranea ma matou, ma koutou: engari me haere koutou ki nga kaihoko, hoko ai i tetahi ma koutou.
10 A, no to ratou haerenga atu ki te hoko, ka tae mai te tane marena hou: a tomo tahi ana me ia ki te marena te hunga kua ata rite: a tutakina ana te tatau.
11 Muri iho ka tae era wahine, ka mea, E te Ariki, e te Ariki, uakina ki a matou.
12 Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Kahore ahau e mohio ki a koutou.
13 Kia mataara rapea koutou, e kore hoki koutou e mohio ki te ra, ki te haora, e puta mai ai te Tama a te tangata.
14 Ka rite hoki ki te tangata e haere ana ki tawhiti, karangatia ana e ia ana pononga ake, a hoatu ana ki a ratou ana taonga.
15 Ki tetahi i hoatu e ia e rima taranata, ki tetahi e rua, ki tetahi kotahi; ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, he mea whakarite ki to ratou uaua; a haere ana ia.
16 Na ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, hokohokona ana aua mea e ia, a riro ana i a ia e rima atu nga taranata.
17 Pera ano hoki te tangata i nga mea e rua; e rua atu i riro i a ia.
18 Ko te tangata ia i te mea kotahi, haere ana, kei te keri ki te whenua, a huna ana e ia te moni a tona ariki.
19 A, roa rawa iho, ka puta te ariki o aua pononga, ka mea kia korerotia ana moni e ratou ki a ia.
20 A, ko te haerenga o te tangata i a ia nei nga taranata e rima, ka mauria mai e ia e rima atu nga taranata, a ka mea, E te ariki, e rima au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na, e rima atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
21 Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
22 Me tera hoki i a ia nei nga taranata e rua, ka haere mai, ka mea, E te ariki, e rua au taranata i homai ai ki ahau: na e rua atu nga taranata kua riro mai i ahau hei tapiri mo era.
23 Ka mea tona ariki ki a ia, Pai rawa, e te pononga pai, e te pononga pono; pono tonu tau mahi ki nga mea ruarua, maku koe e mea hei rangatira mo nga mea maha: uru mai koe ki te hari o tou ariki.
24 A, ko te haerenga mai hoki o te tangata i a ia nei te taranata kotahi, ka mea, E te ariki, i matau ahau ki a koe he tangata pakeke koe, e kokoti ana i te wahi kihai i ruia e koe, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e koe:
25 Na ka wehi ahau, a haere ana, huna ana i tau taranata ki te whenua: na, tau na.
26 Na ka whakahoki tona ariki, ka mea ki a ia, Pononga kino, pononga mangere, i matau koe e kokoti ana ahau i te wahi kihai i ruia e ahau, e kohikohi ana i te wahi kihai i whakatitaria e ahau:
27 Ko te mea tika hoki kia kawea e koe taku moni ki nga rangatira peeke moni, a ka tae mai ahau, ka riro mai taku me ona hua ano.
28 Ko tenei, tangohia te taranata i a ia, hoatu ki tera i nga taranata kotahi tekau.
29 Ki te whai mea hoki tetahi, ka hoatu ano ki a ia, a ka maha atu ana: a, ki te kahore he mea a tetahi, ko ana mea ake ka tangohia i a ia.
30 Na maka te pononga huakore ki te pouri i waho: ko te wahi tera o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho.
31 Na, hei te taenga mai o te Tama a te tangata me tona kororia, ratou tahi ko nga anahera, ko reira ia noho ai ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia:
32 A ka whakaminea ki tona aroaro nga iwi katoa: ka wehea ratou e ia etahi i etahi, ka peratia me te hepara e wehe nei i nga hipi, i nga koati:
33 Ka whakaturia e ia nga hipi ki tona matau, ko nga koati ki maui.
34 Katahi te Kingi ka mea ki te hunga i tona matau, Haere mai, e te hunga whakapai a toku Matua, nohoia te rangatiratanga kua rite noa ake mo koutou no te orokohanganga ra ano o te ao:
35 I hiakai hoki ahau, a whangainga ana e koutou: i matewai ahau, a whakainumia ana e koutou: he manene ahau, a whakamanuhiritia ana e koutou:
36 I tu tahanga, a whakakakahuria ana e koutou: he turoro, a tirotirohia ana ahau e koutou: i te whare herehere ahau, a haere mai ana koutou ki ahau.
37 Na ka whakahoki te hunga tika ki a ia, ka mea, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, a whangai ana i a koe? e mate ana ranei i te wai, e whakainu ana i a koe?
38 Nohea matou i kite ai i a koe e manene ana, a whakamanuhiri ana i a koe? e tu tahanga ana ranei, a whakakakahu ana i a koe?
39 Nonahea hoki matou i kite ai i a koe e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a haere ana ki a koe?
40 Ko reira whakahoki ai te Kingi, mea ai ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta koutou i mea ai ki tetahi o aku teina, ahakoa ki te iti rawa, he meatanga tena ki ahau.
41 Ko reira ia ki atu ai ki te hunga i te taha ki maui, Mawehe atu i ahau, e te hunga ka oti nei te kanga, ki te ahi ka tonu, kua ka noa ake mo te rewera ratou ko ana anahera:
42 I hiakai hoki ahau, a kihai i whangainga e koutou: i mate i te wai, a kihai i whakainumia e koutou:
43 He manene ahau, a kihai i whakamanuhiritia e koutou: i tu tahanga, a kihai i whakakakahuria e koutou: he turoro ahau, i te whare herehere, a kihai koutou i tirotiro i ahau.
44 Ko reira ano ratou whakahoki ai ki a ia, mea ai, E te Ariki, nonahea matou i kite ai i a koe e hiakai ana, e mate wai ana, e manene ana, e tu tahanga ana, e turoro ana, i te whare herehere ranei, a kihai i mahi mea mau?
45 Ko reira whakahoki ai ia ki a ratou, mea ai, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, I te mea kihai nei i meatia e koutou ki tetahi o nga nonohi rawa nei, ina, kihai i meatia ki ahau.
46 Na ko enei e haere ki te whiu utu hara kahore nei ona mutunga: ko te hunga tika ia ki te ora tonu.

Matthew 18-24
New International Version
The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven(A)
18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children,(B) you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(C) 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.(D) 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.(E)
Causing to Stumble
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.(F) 7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!(G) 8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,(H) cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble,(I) gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.(J)
The Parable of the Wandering Sheep(K)
10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels(L) in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. [11] [a]
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
Dealing With Sin in the Church
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault,(M) just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d](N) 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;(O) and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.(P)
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[e] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[f] loosed in heaven.(Q)
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them(R) by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”(S)
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?(T) Up to seven times?”(U)
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g](V)
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like(W) a king who wanted to settle accounts(X) with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay,(Y) the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold(Z) to repay the debt.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him.(AA) ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”(AB)
Divorce(AC)
19 When Jesus had finished saying these things,(AD) he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them(AE) there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife(AF) for any and every reason?”
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[j](AG) 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[k]?(AH) 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”(AI)
8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”(AJ)
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.(AK) 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
The Little Children and Jesus(AL)
13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them(AM) and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs(AN) to such as these.”(AO) 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
The Rich and the Kingdom of God(AP)
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life(AQ)?”(AR)
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”(AS)
18 “Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery,(AT) you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[l](AU) and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[m]”(AV)
20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect,(AW) go, sell your possessions and give to the poor,(AX) and you will have treasure in heaven.(AY) Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich(AZ) to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(BA)
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you!(BB) What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne,(BC) you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.(BD) 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife[n] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.(BE) 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.(BF)
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
20 “For the kingdom of heaven is like(BG) a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.(BH) 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius[o] for the day and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. 6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
8 “When evening came,(BI) the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble(BJ) against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat(BK) of the day.’
13 “But he answered one of them, ‘I am not being unfair to you, friend.(BL) Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’(BM)
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”(BN)
Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time(BO)
17 Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem,(BP) and the Son of Man(BQ) will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law.(BR) They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged(BS) and crucified.(BT) On the third day(BU) he will be raised to life!”(BV)
A Mother’s Request(BW)
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons(BX) came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down,(BY) asked a favor of him.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked.
She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”(BZ)
22 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup(CA) I am going to drink?”
“We can,” they answered.
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup,(CB) but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
24 When the ten heard about this, they were indignant(CC) with the two brothers. 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,(CD) 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man(CE) did not come to be served, but to serve,(CF) and to give his life as a ransom(CG) for many.”
Two Blind Men Receive Sight(CH)
29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David,(CI) have mercy on us!”
31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!”
32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.”
34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(CJ)(CK)
21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,(CL) Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 This took place to fulfill(CM) what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[p](CN)
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks(CO) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(CS) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple(CT)
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(CU) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers(CV) and the benches of those selling doves.(CW) 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[t](CX) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[u]”(CY)
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(CZ) 15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”(DA) they were indignant.(DB)
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,(DD) where he spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree(DE)
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.(DF)
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,(DG) not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for(DH) in prayer.”
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(DI)
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority(DJ) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(DK)
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
The Parable of the Two Sons
28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’(DL)
29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors(DM) and the prostitutes(DN) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(DO) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(DP) and the prostitutes(DQ) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(DR) and believe him.
The Parable of the Tenants(DS)
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted(DT) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.(DU) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.(DV) 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants(DW) to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.(DX) 36 Then he sent other servants(DY) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir.(DZ) Come, let’s kill him(EA) and take his inheritance.’(EB) 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,”(EC) they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants,(ED) who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[w]?(EE)
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you(EF) and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[x](EG)
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.(EH)
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(EI)
22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like(EJ) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants(EK) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants(EL) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(EM) and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners(EN) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(EO) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(EP)?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(EQ)
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(ER)
Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(ES)
15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(ET) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[y](EU) to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(EV) and to God what is God’s.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(EW)
Marriage at the Resurrection(EX)
23 That same day the Sadducees,(EY) who say there is no resurrection,(EZ) came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.(FA) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures(FB) or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;(FC) they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’[z]?(FD) He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.(FE)
The Greatest Commandment(FF)
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,(FG) the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law,(FH) tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[aa](FI) 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[ab](FJ) 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”(FK)
Whose Son Is the Messiah?(FL)
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”
“The son of David,”(FM) they replied.
43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,
44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’[ac](FN)
45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.(FO)
A Warning Against Hypocrisy(FP)(FQ)
23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law(FR) and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(FS)
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:(FT) They make their phylacteries[ad](FU) wide and the tassels on their garments(FV) long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(FW) 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(FX)
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(FY) and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant.(FZ) 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.(GA)
Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees
13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!(GB) You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.(GC) [14] [ae]
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,(GD) and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell(GE) as you are.
16 “Woe to you, blind guides!(GF) You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’(GG) 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?(GH) 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred?(GI) 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells(GJ) in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.(GK)
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth(GL) of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.(GM) You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides!(GN) You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish,(GO) but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.(GP) 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs,(GQ) which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets(GR) and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets.(GS) 32 Go ahead, then, and complete(GT) what your ancestors started!(GU)
33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers!(GV) How will you escape being condemned to hell?(GW) 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify;(GX) others you will flog in your synagogues(GY) and pursue from town to town.(GZ) 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel(HA) to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah,(HB) whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.(HC) 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.(HD)
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,(HE) how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(HF) and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(HG) 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[af]”(HH)
The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(HI)
24 Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 “Do you see all these things?” he asked. “Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another;(HJ) every one will be thrown down.”
3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(HK) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(HL) and of the end of the age?”(HM)
4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(HN) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(HO) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(HP) There will be famines(HQ) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(HR) and put to death,(HS) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(HT) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(HU) will appear and deceive many people.(HV) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(HW) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(HX) will be preached in the whole world(HY) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(HZ) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[ag](IA) spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(IB) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(IC) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.
