Ruka 18 - Maori Bible 2012(MRI2012)

Te Kupu Whakarite o te Pouaru rāua ko te Kaiwhakawā

1Nā, ka kōrero ia i tētahi kupu whakarite ki a rātou mō tēnei, kia īnoi rātou i ngā wā katoa, kia kaua e ngoikore.

2I mea ia, “I tētahi pā tērā tētahi kaiwhakawā, he tangata kīhai nei i wehi ki te Atua, kīhai anō i hopohopo ki te tangata.

3I taua pā anō tētahi pouaru; ā, ka haere mai tērā ki a ia, ka mea, ‘Takitakina tōku mate i tōku hoa tauwhāinga.’

4“Ā, he roa kīhai ia i pai, muri iho ka mea ia i roto i a ia, ‘Ahakoa kāhore ahau e wehi ki te Atua, e hopohopo ki te tangata,

5heoi, ka pōrearea ahau i te pouaru nei, nā, ka takitakina e ahau tōna mate, kei haere tonu mai ka mate ahau i te hōhā.’ ”

6Ka mea te Ariki, “Whakarongo ki tā te kaiwhakawā kino i mea rā.

7Ā, e kore rānei te Atua e ngaki i te mate o āna tāngata i whiriwhiri ai, e karanga nei ki a ia i te ao, i te pō, ahakoa whakaroa noa ia ki a rātou?

8Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, ka hohoro ia te takitaki i tō rātou mate. Otirā, ka tae mai te Tama a te tangata, e rokohina mai rānei e ia he whakapono i runga i te whenua?”

Te Kupu Whakarite o te Parihi me te Kaikohi Tāke

9Nā, ka kōrero anō ia i tēnei kupu whakarite ki ētahi, i whakamanawa nei ki a rātou anō he tika, i whakakorekore ki ērā atu katoa,

10“Tokorua ngā tāngata i haere ki te temepara ki te īnoi; he Parihi tētahi, ko tētahi he pupirikana.

11Tū ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tāna karakia tēnei, ‘E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, nō te mea kāhore ahau e rite ki ērā atu tāngata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, pūremu, mōku hoki tē rite ki tēnei pupirikana.

12Takirua āku nohoanga pukutanga i te wiki, e hoatu ana e ahau te wāhi whakatekau o āku mea katoa.’

13“Ko te pupirikana ia i tū mai i tawhiti, kīhai i mea kia anga ake ōna kanohi ki te rangi, heoi, pātuki ana ki tōna uma, ka mea, ‘E te Atua, tohungia ahau, te tangata hara.’

14Ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou, nui atu te tika o tēnei i tō tērā i te hokinga ki tōna whare; ki te whakanui hoki tētahi i a ia, ka whakaititia; ki te whakaiti tētahi i a ia, ka whakanuia.”

Ka Manaakitia e Īhu ngā Tamariki Nonohi(Matiu 19.13-15; Māka 10.13-16)

15Nā, ka kawea mai e rātou ki a ia ā rātou tamariki nonohi, kia pā ai ia ki a rātou; otiia, nō te kitenga o āna ākonga, ka rīria atu rātou.

16Otirā, ka karangatia atu rātou e Īhu ki a ia, ka mea ia, “Tukua ngā tamariki nonohi kia haere mai ki ahau, kaua hoki rātou e āraia atu; nō ngā pēnei hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

17He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kāhore e rite te tango a tētahi i te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki tā te tamaiti nohinohi, e kore rawa ia e tomo ki roto.”

He Tangata Whai Taonga(Matiu 19.16-30; Māka 10.17-31)

18Nā, ka ui tētahi rangatira ki a ia, ka mea, “E te kaiwhakaako pai, me aha ahau ka whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu?”

19Nā, ko te meatanga a Īhu ki a ia, “He aha ahau i kīia ai e koe he pai? Kāhore tētahi i pai, kotahi anake, ko te Atua.

20E mātau ana koe ki ngā ture, kaua e pūremu, kaua e patu tangata, kaua e tāhae, kaua e whakapae teka, whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea.”

21Nā, ka mea ia, “Kua rite i ahau ēnei katoa nō tōku tamarikitanga ake.”

22Ā, i te rongonga o Īhu ki tēnei, ka mea ki a ia, “Kotahi te mea kāhore anō i rite i a koe; hokona āu mea katoa, ka tuwha atu mā ngā mea rawakore, ā, e whai taonga koe ki te rangi, ā, haere mai i muri i ahau.”

23Nā, ka rongo ia ki ēnei mea, ka pōuri rawa; he nui hoki ōna taonga.

24Ā, ka kite a Īhu i a ia, ka mea, “Anō te whakauaua o te tapoko o te hunga taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!

25Erangi hoki te haere o te kāmera rā te kōwhao o te ngira e takoto noa ana, he whakauaua rawa ia te tomo o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.”

26Nā, ka mea ngā kaiwhakarongo, “Ko wai rā e ora?”

27Otirā, i mea ia, “Ko ngā mea e kore e taea e te tangata, ka taea e te Atua.”

28Ā, ka mea a Pita, “Nā, kua whakarērea nei e mātou ā mātou nei mea, ā, kua aru i a koe.”

29Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, kāhore he tangata i whakarere, he whare, he wahine, he tuākana, he mātua, he tamariki, i te whakaaro ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua,

30e kore e riro mai i a ia i tēnei wā ngā mea tini noa atu, ā, i te ao meāke puta ko te ora tonu.”

Ngā Kōrerotanga a Īhu mō Tōna Matenga(Matiu 20.17-19; Māka 10.32-34)

31Ā, ka mau ia ki te tekau mā rua, ka mea ki a rātou, “Nā, e haere ana tēnei tātou ki Hiruhārama, ā, ka rite katoa ngā mea i tuhituhia e ngā poropiti mō te Tama a te tangata.

32Ka tukua hoki ia ki ngā tauiwi, ka tāwaia, ka whakatupuria kinotia, ka tuwhaina.

33Ā, ka oti ia te whiu, ka whakamatea, ā, i te toru o ngā rā ka ara.”

34Ā, kīhai rātou i mātau ki tētahi o ēnei mea; he mea huna hoki i a rātou tēnei kupu, kīhai rātou i mōhio ki ngā mea i kōrerotia.

Ka Whakaorangia e Īhu tētahi Tangata Matapō Tono Mea(Matiu 20.29-34; Māka 10.46-52)

35Ā, i a ia e whakatata ana ki Heriko, tērā tētahi matapō e noho ana i te taha o te huarahi e tono mea ana māna.

36Ā, i tōna rongonga i te mano e haere ana, ka ui atu, “He aha tēnei?”

37Ka mea rātou ki a ia, “Ko Īhu o Nahareta e haere ana.”

38Kātahi ia ka karanga, ka mea, “E Īhu, e te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki ahau.”

39Nā, ka rīria ia e te hunga i haere i mua kia noho puku; heoi rahi noa ake tāna karanga, “E te Tama a Rāwiri, kia aroha ki ahau.”

40Nā, ka tū a Īhu, ka mea kia ārahina mai ki a ia; ā, nō ka tata, ka ui ki a ia,

41ka mea, “Kia ahatia koe e ahau?”

Ka mea ia, “E te Ariki, kia titiro ahau.”

42Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Titiro; nā tōu whakapono koe i whakaora.”

43Ā, titiro tonu ake ia, ā, aru ana i a ia, me te whakakorōria i te Atua; ā, nō te kitenga o te iwi katoa, ka whakamoemiti ki te Atua.
