16  Kia mahara ki te marama, ki a Apipi, ka mahi i te kapenga ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: ko Apipi hoki te marama i whakaputaina mai ai koe e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i Ihipa i te po.

Na me patu e koe te kapenga ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, o te kahui hipi, o te kahui kau, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.

Kaua e kainga tahitia te paraoa rewena me taua mea; kia whitu nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rewenakore me taua mea, ara i te taro tangihanga; i haere potatutatu mai hoki koe i te whenua o Ihipa: kia mahara ai koe ki te ra i puta mai ai koe i te w henua o Ihipa i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

A kia whitu nga ra e kore ai e kitea he rewena ki a koe i ou rohe katoa; kaua hoki e whakatoea mo te ata tetahi wahi o te kikokiko e patua e koe i te ahiahi o te ra tuatahi.

E kore e ahei kia patua te kapenga i roto i tetahi o ou tatau, e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe:

Engari hei te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira, hei reira koe patu ai i te kapenga i te ahiahi, i te toenetanga o te ra, i te wa ano i puta mai ai koe i Ihipa.

Na me tunu e koe, me kai hoki ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua: a i te ata ka tahuri, ka haere ki ou teneti.

E ono nga ra e kai ai koe i te taro rawenakore: a i te ra whitu ko te huihui nui ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua: kaua tetahi mahi e mahia i taua ra.

Taua e koe, kia whitu nga wiki: kei tau tukunga mataati i te toronaihi ki te kotinga koe timata mai ai te tatau i nga wiki e whitu.

10 Na me mahi te hakari o nga wiki ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, ki tetahi tahua, he mea hoatu noa na tou ringa; kia rite tau e hoatu ai ki te manaaki a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i a koe:

11 Na ka koa koe ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, a koe, koutou tahi ko tau tama, ko tau tamahine, me tau pononga tane, me tau pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti i roto i ou tatau, me te manene, me te pani, me te pouaru i roto i a koe, ki te wahi i whi riwhiria e Ihowa, e tou Atua, kia waiho tona ingoa ki reira.

12 A kia mahara koe he pononga koe i Ihipa i mua: me pupuri hoki, me mahi enei tikanga.

13 Me mahi te hakari whare wharau, kia whitu nga ra, ua poto i a koe te kohikohi mai i tau patunga witi me tau poka waina:

14 A ka koa koe ki tau hakari, a koe, koutou tahi ko tau tama, ko tau tamahine, ko tau pononga tane, ko tau pononga wahine, me te Riwaiti, te manene, te pani me te pouaru i roto i ou tatau.

15 Kia whitu nga ra o tau hakari ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa: ka manaaki hoki a Ihowa, tou Atua, i a koe i au hua katoa, i nga mahi katoa hoki a ou ringa, a ka tino harakoa koe.

16 E toru nga wa o te tau e kitea ai ou tane katoa ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai ia: ko te hakari taro rewenakore, ko te hakari o nga wiki, ko te hakari whare wharau: kaua hoki e puta kau ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

17 Me homai e ia tangata te mea e taea e ia, kia rite ki te manaaki i homai e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

18 Whakaturia etahi kaiwhakawa, me etahi rangatira mou i ou kuwaha katoa, e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, mo ou iwi: kia tika hoki ta ratou whakawa mo te iwi.

19 Kaua e whakapeaua ketia te whakawa; kaua hoki e whakapai kanohi; kaua ano e tango i te utu whakapati: he mea whakamatapo hoki te utu whakapati i nga kanohi o te hunga whakaaro nui, he mea whakapeau ke i nga kupu a te hunga tika.

20 Ko te mea tika anake tau e whai ai, kia ora ai koe, kia noho ai hoki ki te whenua e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe.

21 Kaua e whakatokia e koe he Ahera o tehea momo rakau ki te taha o te aata a Ihowa, a tou Atua, e hanga e koe.

22 Kaua ano hoki e whakaturia ake tetahi pou whakapakoko mau: e kinongia nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

17  Kaua e patua ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, tetahi kau, hipi ranei, he koha tona, tetahi atu he ranei: he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua.

Ki te mea ka kitea i roto i a koe, i roto i tetahi o ou tatau e homai nei e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe tetahi tangata, tetahi wahine ranei, i mahi i te kino ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tou Atua, i whakapaheke hoki i tanga kawenata,

I haere hoki, i mahi ki nga atua ke, i koropiko ki a ratou, ki te ra ranei, ki te marama ranei, ki tetahi ranei o nga mano o te rangi kihai nei i whakaritea atu e ahau;

A ka korerotia ki a koe, a ka rongo koe, na me ata ui marie e koe, na, mehemea he tika, he pono te korero, kei te meatia taua mea whakarihariha i roto i a Iharaira:

Me whakaputa e koe taua tangata, taua wahine ranei, i mahi nei i taua mea kino, ki ou tatau, taua tangata, taua wahine ranei; ka aki ai i a raua ki te kohatu, a mate noa.

Ma te kupu a nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, a nga kaiwhakaatu tokotoru ranei, e mate ai te tangata e tika ana kia whakamatea; e kore ia e mate i te kupu a te kaiwhakaatu kotahi.

Ko nga ringa o nga kaiwhakaatu te pa wawe ki a ia hei whakamate i a ia, a muri iho ko nga ringa o te iwi katoa. Penei ka whakakorea atu e koe te kino i roto i a koe.

Ki te ara ake tetahi take pakeke rawa i a koe te whakawa, he toto ki te toto, he whakawa ki te whakawa, he patu ki te patu, he take tautohetohe i roto i ou tatau: na me whakatika koe, me haere ki runga ki te wahi e whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa, tou Atua;

A ka tae koe ki nga tohunga, ki nga Riwaiti, ki te kaiwhakawa hoki e whakarite ana i aua ra: a ka ui koe; a ma ratou e whakapuaki ki a koe te tikanga mo te whakarite:

10 Na me mahi e koe ta ratou e whakapuaki ai ki a koe i taua wahi i whiriwhiri ai a Ihowa; kia tupato hoki kia rite te meatanga ki nga mea katoa e kiia e ratou ki a koe:

11 Kia rite tau meatanga ki te tikanga o te ture e kiia e ratou ki a koe, ki te ritenga hoki e korerotia e ratou ki a koe: kaua e peka ke atu, ki matau ranei, ki maui ranei, i te kupu e whakapuakina e ratou ki a koe.

12 A, ki te poka wahi tetahi tangata, kahore e whakarongo ki te tohunga e tu ana, e minita ana i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ki te kaiwhakawa ranei, me whakamate taua tangata; a ka whakakorea atu i koe te kino i roto i a Iharaira.

13 A ka rongo katoa te iwi, ka wehi, e kore e poka wahi noa i muri iho.

14 Ka tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, a ka riro mai a reira i a koe, a ka noho koe ki reira, ka mea hoki, Ka meinga e ahau tetahi kingi moku, ka pera me nga iwi katoa i tetahi taha oku, i tetahi taha;

15 Ko ta Ihowa, ko ta tou Atua e whiriwhiri ai, ko ia anake tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: ko tetahi o ou tuakana tau e mea ai hei kingi mou: e kore e ahei kia meatia e koe hei kingi mou te tangata iwi ke, ehara nei i te tuakana nou.

16 Otiia kaua ia e whakamaha i te hoiho mona, kaua ano hoki e whakahokia te iwi ki Ihipa, hei whakamaha i nga hoiho: kua mea nei hoki a Ihowa ki a koutou, E kore koutou e hoki na taua huarahi a mua ake nei.

17 Kaua ano ia e whakamaha wahine mana, kei riro ke tona ngakau: kaua ano hoki e whakanuia rawatia e ia te hiriwa me te koura mana.

18 A, ka noho ia ki te torona o tona rangatiratanga, na me tuhituhi e ia ki tetahi pukapua nga kupu o tenei ture, no ena i te aroaro o nga tohunga o nga Riwaiti:

19 A hei a ia takoto ai, a me korero ia ki reira i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia: kia ako ai ia ki te wehi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ki te pupuri i nga kupu katoa o tenei ture, i enei tikanga, hei mahi mana:

20 Kei whakakake tona ngakau ki ona teina, kei peka ke atu hoki ia i te whakahau ki matau, ki maui: kia roa ai ona ra i tona kingitanga, ona me o ana tama, i waenganui i a Iharaira.

18  Kaua tetahi wahi, tetahi kainga tupu ranei i roto i a Iharaira mo nga tohunga, mo nga Riwaiti, mo te iwi katoa ano hoki o Riwai: ko nga whakahere ahi a Ihowa, ko ona taonga ake hoki, hei kai ma ratou.

A kahore tetahi kainga tupu mo ratou i waenganui i o ratou tuakana: ko Ihowa, ko ia to ratou taonga tupu, pera hoki me tana i korero ai ki a ratou.

A ko te tikanga tenei mo nga mea a te iwi ma nga tohunga, mo a nga tangata e patu ana i te patunga tapu, ahakoa kau, ahakoa hipi, me homai e ratou ki te tohunga te peke, nga paparinga e rua, me te puku.

Ko nga hua matamua o tau witi, o tau waina, o tau hinu, me te huruhuru matamua o au hipi, me hoatu ki a ia.

No te mea kua whiriwhiria ia e Ihowa, e tou Atua, i roto i ou iwi katoa, kia tu hei minita i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a ia me ana tama ake tonu atu.

A ki te haere mai tetahi Riwaiti i hea noa atu o Iharaira, i tetahi o ou kuwaha i noho ai ia, a ka tae mai me te hiahia katoa o tona ngakau ki te wahi e whiriwhiria e Ihowa;

Na me minita ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, me pera me ona tuakana katoa me nga Riwaiti, e tu nei i reira i te aroaro o Ihowa.

Kia rite te wahi hei kai ma ratou, haunga ano nga utu i a ia mo nga taonga a ona matua.

E tae koe ki te whenua e homai ana e Ihowa, e tou Atua, ki a koe, kei ako koe ki te mahi i nga mea whakarihariha a ena iwi.

10 Kei kitea i roto i a koe tetahi e mea ana i tana tama, i tana tamahine ranei, kia haere i roto i te ahi, tetahi tohunga whakaaro ki nga tohu, tetahi e whakaari ana i nga mea kei mua, tetahi tohunga maori, tetahi tohunga makutu ranei,

11 Tetahi tohunga whaiwhaia ranei, tetahi kaiui i te atua maori, tetahi mata maori ranei, tetahi kaiui i te tupapaku.

12 No te mea e whakarihariha ana a Ihowa ki nga tangata katoa e mea ana i ena mea: a na aua mea whakarihariha i peia ai ratou i tou aroaro e Ihowa, e tou Atua.

13 Kia tino tika koe i te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua.

14 Ko enei iwi hoki, ka riro nei i a koe, e whakarongo ana ki nga tohunga taima, ki nga tohunga maori: tena ko koe, e kore a Ihowa, tou Atua, e tuku i a koe kia pera.

15 Ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua, e whakaara ake he poropiti mou i roto i a koe, no ou teina, he rite mai ki ahau; ko ia ta koutou e whakarongo ai;

16 Hei whakarite mo nga mea katoa i inoi ai koe ki a Ihowa, ki tou Atua, i Horepa i te ra o te huihuinga, i mea ai, Kaua ahau e rongo atu ano i te reo o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kaua hoki ahau e titiro ano ki tenei ahi nui, kei mate ahau.

17 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki ahau, He pai ta ratou korero i korero na.

18 Maku e whakaara ake he poropiti mo ratou i roto i o ratou teina, rite tahi ki a koe, a ka hoatu e ahau aku kupu ki tona waha; mana e korero ki a ratou nga mea katoa e korero ai ahau ki a ia.

19 Na ko te tangata e kore e whakarongo ki aku kupu, e korero ai ia i runga i toku ingoa, maku e rapu he utu i a ia.

20 Tena ko te poropiti e poka noa te korero i runga i toku ingoa, i tetahi kupu kihai nei i whakahaua atu e ahau kia korerotia, e korero ranei i runga i te ingoa o nga atua ke, ina, ka mate taua poropiti.

21 A ki te mea koe i roto i tou ngakau, Ma te aha e mohio ai tatou ki te kupu kihai nei i korerotia e Ihowa?

22 Ki te korero tetahi poropiti i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, a kahore e puta mai te mea, kahore hoki e tae mai, koia tena te mea kihai i korerotia e Ihowa: i korero poka noa te poropiti, kaua koe e wehi i a ia.

The Passover(A)

16 Observe the month of Aviv(B) and celebrate the Passover(C) of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name.(D) Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,(E) because you left Egypt in haste(F)—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.(G) Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening(H) of the first day remain until morning.(I)

You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary[a](J) of your departure from Egypt. Roast(K) it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly(L) to the Lord your God and do no work.(M)

The Festival of Weeks(N)

Count off seven weeks(O) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.(P) 10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. 11 And rejoice(Q) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name(R)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites(S) in your towns, and the foreigners,(T) the fatherless and the widows living among you.(U) 12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt,(V) and follow carefully these decrees.

The Festival of Tabernacles(W)

13 Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor(X) and your winepress.(Y) 14 Be joyful(Z) at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy(AA) will be complete.

16 Three times a year all your men must appear(AB) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AC) the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles.(AD) No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed:(AE) 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

Judges

18 Appoint judges(AF) and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.(AG) 19 Do not pervert justice(AH) or show partiality.(AI) Do not accept a bribe,(AJ) for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. 20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.

Worshiping Other Gods

21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole(AK) beside the altar you build to the Lord your God,(AL) 22 and do not erect a sacred stone,(AM) for these the Lord your God hates.

17 Do not sacrifice to the Lord your God an ox or a sheep that has any defect(AN) or flaw in it, for that would be detestable(AO) to him.(AP)

If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the Lord gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the Lord your God in violation of his covenant,(AQ) and contrary to my command(AR) has worshiped other gods,(AS) bowing down to them or to the sun(AT) or the moon or the stars in the sky,(AU) and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true(AV) and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,(AW) take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.(AX) On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.(AY) The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting that person to death,(AZ) and then the hands of all the people.(BA) You must purge the evil(BB) from among you.

Law Courts

If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge(BC)—whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults(BD)—take them to the place the Lord your God will choose.(BE) Go to the Levitical(BF) priests and to the judge(BG) who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict.(BH) 10 You must act according to the decisions they give you at the place the Lord will choose. Be careful to do everything they instruct you to do. 11 Act according to whatever they teach you and the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right or to the left.(BI) 12 Anyone who shows contempt(BJ) for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering(BK) there to the Lord your God is to be put to death.(BL) You must purge the evil from Israel.(BM) 13 All the people will hear and be afraid, and will not be contemptuous again.(BN)

The King

14 When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you and have taken possession(BO) of it and settled in it,(BP) and you say, “Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us,”(BQ) 15 be sure to appoint(BR) over you a king the Lord your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites.(BS) Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite. 16 The king, moreover, must not acquire great numbers of horses(BT) for himself(BU) or make the people return to Egypt(BV) to get more of them,(BW) for the Lord has told you, “You are not to go back that way again.”(BX) 17 He must not take many wives,(BY) or his heart will be led astray.(BZ) He must not accumulate(CA) large amounts of silver and gold.(CB)

18 When he takes the throne(CC) of his kingdom, he is to write(CD) for himself on a scroll a copy(CE) of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests. 19 It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life(CF) so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees(CG) 20 and not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law(CH) to the right or to the left.(CI) Then he and his descendants will reign a long time over his kingdom in Israel.(CJ)

Offerings for Priests and Levites

18 The Levitical(CK) priests—indeed, the whole tribe of Levi—are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the food offerings(CL) presented to the Lord, for that is their inheritance.(CM) They shall have no inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,(CN) as he promised them.(CO)

This is the share due the priests(CP) from the people who sacrifice a bull(CQ) or a sheep: the shoulder, the internal organs and the meat from the head.(CR) You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,(CS) for the Lord your God has chosen them(CT) and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister(CU) in the Lord’s name always.(CV)

If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,(CW) he may minister in the name(CX) of the Lord his God like all his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of the Lord. He is to share equally in their benefits, even though he has received money from the sale of family possessions.(CY)

Occult Practices

When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate(CZ) the detestable ways(DA) of the nations there. 10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire,(DB) who practices divination(DC) or sorcery,(DD) interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,(DE) 11 or casts spells,(DF) or who is a medium or spiritist(DG) or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.(DH) 13 You must be blameless(DI) before the Lord your God.(DJ)

The Prophet

14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination.(DK) But as for you, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so. 15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites.(DL) You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.”(DM)

17 The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet(DN) like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words(DO) in his mouth.(DP) He will tell them everything I command him.(DQ) 19 I myself will call to account(DR) anyone who does not listen(DS) to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.(DT) 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods,(DU) is to be put to death.”(DV)

21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true,(DW) that is a message the Lord has not spoken.(DX) That prophet has spoken presumptuously,(DY) so do not be alarmed.

  1. Deuteronomy 16:6 Or down, at the time of day

13  A, i a ia e haere atu ana i te temepara, ka mea tetahi o ana akonga ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, nana, te tu o nga kohatu, te tu o nga whare!

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Ka kite koe i enei whare nunui? e kore tetahi kohatu e waiho i konei i runga ake i tetahi kohatu, engari ka whakahoroa.

A, i a ia e noho ana i runga i Maunga Oriwa i te ritenga atu o te temepara, ka ui puku ki a ia a Pita, a Hemi, a Hoani, a Anaru,

Korerotia mai ki a matou, ko ahea enei mea, a he aha te tohu ina tata enei mea katoa te rite?

Na ka anga ia, ka korero ki a ratou, Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te tangata:

He tokomaha hoki e haere mai i runga i toku ingoa, e mea, Ko ahau ia; a he tokomaha e mamingatia.

E rongo koutou ki nga pakanga, ki nga hau pakanga, kei ohorere: kua takoto hoki he putanga mo aua mea; taihoa rawa ia te mutunga.

Ka whakatika hoki tetahi iwi ki tetahi iwi, tetahi rangatiratanga ki tetahi rangatiratanga: a he tini nga wahi e puta ai he ru; ka puta ano hoki he po matekai: ko te timatanga enei o nga mamae.

Na, kia tupato ki a koutou: ka tukua hoki koutou ki nga runanga; ka whiua koutou i roto i nga whare karakia; a ka whakaturia koutou ki te aroaro o nga kawana, o nga kingi, mo te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou.

10 Kua takoto ia te tikanga kia matua kauwhautia te rongopai ki nga tauiwi katoa.

11 Ina arahina koutou ki te whakawa, a ka tukua atu, kaua e manukanuka wawe ki ta koutou e korero ai: engari ko te mea e hoatu ki a koutou i taua haora, ko tena ta koutou e korero ai: ehara hoki i te mea ma koutou nga korero, engari ma te Wairua Ta pu.

12 Na ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tamaiti hoki e te papa; a ka whakatika nga tamariki ki nga matua, ka mea kia whakamatea.

13 A ka kinongia koutou e nga tangata katoa, he mea mo toku ingoa: ko te tangata ia e u ana a taea noatia te mutunga, ko ia e ora.

14 A, ki te kite koutou i te mea whakarihariha, i te mea whakangaro e tu ana i te wahi e kore e tika, kia matau te kaititiro pukapuka, ko reira me rere te hunga i Huria ki nga maunga:

15 Ko te tangata hoki i runga i te whare kaua e heke iho ki roto ki te whare, kaua hoki e tomo ki te tiki i tetahi mea i roto i tona whare:

16 Kaua ano te tangata i te mara e hoki ki muri, ki te tiki i tona kakahu.

17 Aue te mate mo te hunga e hapu ana, mo nga mea hoki e whangai ana ki te u, i aua ra!

18 Ma koutou ia e inoi kei rokohanga koutou e te whati i te hotoke.

19 He whakapawera hoki aua ra, kahore ona rite o te orokohanganga ra ano i hanga nei e te Atua, a mohoa noa nei, kahore hoki he pera a muri ake nei.

20 Me i kahore hoki aua ra i poroa i waenga e te Ariki, e kore tetahi kikokiko e ora: otira ka whakaaroa te hunga whiriwhiri i whiriwhiria e ia, a poroa ana aua ra i waenga.

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)

13 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”(B)

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(C) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(D) and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”

Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(E) Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

“You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.(F) On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.(G)

12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.(H) 13 Everyone will hate you because of me,(I) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(J)
