Mateus 21

Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama

1 Ā, nō ka tata rātou ki Hiruhārama, ka tae ki Petapaki, ki Maunga Ōriwa, ka tonoa atu e Īhu ngā ākonga tokorua, 2 ka mea ia ki a rāua "Haere ki te kāinga e anga mai ana ki a kōrua; nā, ka kite tonu kōrua i tētahi kāihe e here ana me tāna kūao; wetekia, ka ārahi mai ki ahau. 3 Ā, ki te whai kupu tētahi tangata ki a kōrua, kī atu, ‘E mea ana te Ariki ki a rāua māna’; nā, ka tukua tonutia mai rāua e ia."

4 I meinga tēnei katoa hei whakarite mō te kupu a te poropiti, i mea ai:

5 "Mea atu ki te tamāhine o Hiona,

‘Nā, ko tōu kīngi e haere mai nā ki a koe,

he ngākau māhaki tōna, e noho ana i runga i te kāihe,

i te kūao hoki, i te tama a te kāihe.’ "

6 Nā, haere ana ngā ākonga, meatia ana tā Īhu i mea ai ki a rāua: 7 ārahina mai ana te kāihe me te kūao, whārikitia ana ki runga ō rāua kākahu, ā, noho ana ia ki runga. 8 Ā, he nui rawa te hui ki te whāriki i ō rātou kākahu ki te ara; ko ētahi i tapahi manga mai i ngā rākau, ā, whārikitia ana ki te ara. 9 Ko ngā mano i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, kei te karanga, kei te mea,

"Ohana ki te Tama a Rāwiri!

Ka whakapaingia tēnei e haere mai nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki!

Ohana i runga rawa!"

10 Ā, nō ka uru ia ki Hiruhārama, ka oho katoa te pā, ka mea, "Ko wai tēnei?"

11 Ka mea te mano, "Ko Īhu tēnei, ko te poropiti o Nahareta o Karirī."

Ka Haere a Īhu ki te Temepara

12 Ā, ka tomo a Īhu ki te temepara o te Atua, nā, peia katoatia ana e ia te hunga e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana i roto i te temepara, turakina ake ngā tēpu a ngā kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me ngā nohoanga o te hunga hoko kūkupa. 13 Ā, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kua oti te tuhituhi, ‘Ka kīia tōku whare he whare īnoi’; heoi, kua oti nei te mea e koutou hei ana mō ngā kaipāhua."

14 Ā, i haere mai ki a ia ki roto ki te temepara ngā matapō me ngā kopa, ā, whakaorangia ake rātou e ia. 15 Nō te kitenga ia o ngā tohunga nui, o ngā karaipi i ngā mea whakamīharo i meatia e ia, i ngā tamariki hoki e karanga ana i te temepara, e mea ana, "Ohana ki te Tama a Rāwiri"; ka riri rātou. 16 Ka mea ki a ia, "E rongo ana koe ki tā ēnei e mea nei?"

Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Āe rā; kīanō koutou i kite noa, ‘Pūmau tonu i a koe te whakamoemiti a te waha o ngā kōhungahunga, o ngā mea ngote ū’?"

17 Ā, ka mahue rātou i a ia, haere ana ia ki waho o te pā, ki Petani, ā, moe ana i reira.

Ka Kanga a Īhu i tētahi Rākau Piki

18 Nā, i te ata, i a ia e hoki ana ki te pā, ka hiakai ia. 19 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tētahi piki i te taha o te ara, ka haere ia ki taua rākau, heoi, kīhai i kitea tētahi mea i runga, he rau anake. Ka mea ia ki te rākau, "Kei whai hua koe ā ake ake!" Ā, maroke tonu ake te piki.

20 Ā, nō te kitenga o ngā ākonga, ka mīharo, ka mea, "I pēheatia i hohoro ai te maroke o te piki nei?"

21 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, me he whakapono tō koutou, kāhore i ruarua te whakaaro, e kore e meatia e koutou ko tēnei anake i meatia nei ki te piki, engari, ahakoa mea noa koutou ki tēnei maunga, ‘Kia rangā atu koe, kia whakatakā ki te moana’; ka meatia. 22 Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e tono ai koutou ina īnoi, ki te whakapono, ka riro i a koutou."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Mana o Īhu

23 Ā, ka tae ia ki roto ki te temepara, ka haere mai ngā tohunga nui me ngā kaumātua o te iwi, i a ia anō e ako ana, ā, ka mea, "Tēnā koa te mana i meatia ai ēnei mea e koe? Nā wai hoatu tēnei mana ki a koe?"

24 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Māku e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, ki te kōrerotia e koutou ki ahau, māku hoki e kōrero ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i ēnei mea. 25 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, nō hea koia? Nō te rangi, nō ngā tāngata rānei?"

Ā, ka kōrerorero rātou ki a rātou anō, ka mea, "Ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō te rangi,’ e mea mai ia ki a tātou, ‘Ha, he aha koutou tē whakapono ai ki a ia?’ 26 Ā, ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō ngā tāngata’– ka wehi tātou i te mano; ki tā rātou katoa hoki he poropiti a Hoani."

27 Nā, ka whakahoki rātou ki a Īhu, ka mea, "Kāhore mātou e mōhio."

Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a rātou, "E kore anō e kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i ēnei mea."

Te Kupu Whakarite o ngā Tama Tokorua

28 "Nā, e pēhea ana tō koutou whakaaro? Tokorua ngā tama a tētahi tangata; ā, ka haere ia ki tō mua, ka mea, ‘E tama, haere ki te mahi āianei ki tāku māra wāina.’ 29 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, ‘Kāhore ahau e pai’; otirā, i muri iho ka puta kē tōna whakaaro, ā, haere ana. 30 Ā, ka haere mai ia ki te tuarua, ka pērā anō tāna kupu. Nō, ka whakahoki tērā, ka mea, ‘E kara, ka haere ahau’; ā, kīhai i tae. 31 Ko wai o taua tokorua i mea i tā tōna matua i pai ai?"

Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Ko tō mua."

Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ko ngā pupirikana me ngā wāhine kairau e tika ana i mua i a koutou ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua. 32 I haere hoki a Hoani ki a koutou rā te ara o te tika, ā, kīhai koutou i whakapono ki a ia; tēnā ko ngā pupirikana me ngā wāhine kairau i whakapono ki a ia; ko koutou ia, i tō koutou kitenga, kīhai i puta kē ō koutou whakaaro i muri, kīhai i whakapono ki a ia."

Te Kupu Whakarite mō ngā Kaimahi i roto i te Māra Wāina

33 "Whakarongo ki tētahi atu kupu whakarite. Tērā tētahi rangatira whare i whakatō i te māra wāina, ā, taiepatia ana, ā taka noa, keria ana e ia te takahanga wāina i roto, hangā ana tētahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki ngā kaimahi, ā, haere ana ia ki tawhiti. 34 Ā, nō ka tata te pō hua, ka tonoa e ia āna pononga ki ngā kaimahi, ki te tiki i ōna hua.

35 "Nā, ka mau ngā kaimahi ki āna pononga, whiua ana tētahi, whakamatea ana tētahi, ā, ākina ana tētahi ki te kōhatu. 36 Nā, ka tonoa anō e ia ētahi atu pononga, he tokomaha atu i ō mua; heoi, i pērātia anō rātou. 37 Nā, muri rawa iho, ka tono ia i tāna tama ki a rātou, i mea ia, ‘E hopohopo rātou ki tāku tama.’

38 "Nō te kitenga ia o ngā kaimahi i te tama, ka mea ki a rātou anō, ‘Ko te tangata tēnei mōna te kāinga; tēnā, tātou ka whakamate i a ia, ka tango i tōna kāinga.’ 39 Nā, ka mau rātou ki a ia, maka ana ki waho o te māra wāina, ā, whakamatea iho.

40 "Nā, ina tae te rangatira o te māra wāina, ka pēheatia e ia aua kaimahi?"

41 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "Pōuriuri ana āianei tāna whakangaro i taua hunga whakarihariha; ā, ka tukua te māra wāina ki ētahi atu kaimahi, ki te hunga e tukua ai ki a ia ngā hua i ngā pō hua."

42 Ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Kīanō koutou i kite noa i roto i ngā karaipiture?

‘Ko te kōhatu i kapea e ngā kaihanga,

kua meinga tēnei hei upoko mō te kokonga;

nā te Ariki tēnei,

he mea whakamīharo hoki ki ō tātou kanohi!’

43 "Koia, ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangohia te rangatiratanga o te Atua i a koutou, ā, ka hoatu ki tētahi iwi, e puta ai ngā hua o taua rangatiratanga. 44 Ko te tangata e hinga ki runga ki tēnei kōhatu, nā, mongamonga ana ia; ki te taka ia taua kōhatu ki runga ki tētahi, nā, ngotangota noa ia me he puehu."

45 Ā, ka rongo ngā tohunga nui me ngā Parihi ki āna kupu whakarite, ka mōhio mō rātou āna kōrero. 46 Nā, i a rātou e whai ana kia hopukia ia, ka wehi i te mano, ki tā rātou hoki he poropiti ia.

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. 3 And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. 4 Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion,

Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,

Meek, and riding upon an ass,

And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

6 And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them, 7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. 8 And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. 10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves; 13 and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation, 16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

18 Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away? 21 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority? 24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him? 26 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things. 28 But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. 29 And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

33 Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. 34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner. 37 But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance. 39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,

The stone which the builders rejected,

The same was made the head of the corner;

This was from the Lord,

And it is marvellous in our eyes?

43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust. 45 And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
