Lucas 16

Te Tangata Whai Rawa me Raharuhi

19 "Nā, tērā tētahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kākahu pāpura ōna, he rīnena pai, ā, ko tāna mahi he kai tonu i ngā kai papai i ngā rā katoa. 20 Nā, ka whakatakotoria ki tōna kūwaha tētahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tūwhenua, 21 e hiahia ana hoki kia whāngaia ki ngā kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tēpu a te tangata taonga; ā, ko ngā kurī rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ōna mate.

22 "Nāwai ā, ka mate te tangata rawakore, ā, kawea ana e ngā anahera ki te uma o Āperahama. Ā, ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, ā, tanumia ana. 23 Ā, i te rēinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Āperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tōna uma. 24 Nā, ka karanga ia, ka mea, ‘E pā, e Āperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tōna matihao ki te wai, hei whakamātao i tōku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tēnei mura.’

25 "Otirā, ka mea a Āperahama, ‘E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe āu mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia ngā mea i a Raharuhi; nā, ka whakamārietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe. 26 Hāunga anō ēnei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapūmau tētahi tawhā nui i waenganui o koutou, o mātou. Ā, ki te mea ētahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e āhei; e kore anō e whiti mai i konā ki a mātou.’

27 "Anō rā ko tērā, ‘Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pā, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o tōku pāpā; 28 tokorima hoki ōku tēina? Kia kōrero ai ia ki a rātou, kei haere mai hoki rātou ki tēnei wāhi mamae.’

29 "Ka mea a Āperahama ki a ia, ‘Kei a rātou rā a Mohi rātou ko ngā poropiti; me whakarongo ki a rātou.’

30 "Ka mea ia, ‘Kāhore, e pā, e Āperahama, engari ki te haere atu tētahi ki a rātou o te hunga mate, ka rīpenetā rātou.’

31 "Nā, ka mea tērā ki a ia, ‘Ki te kore rātou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki ngā poropiti hoki, e kore anō e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.’ "
