42 Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.

43 But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

44 Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

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.
