Lucas 7

31 "Me whakarite e ahau ngā tāngata o tēnei whakapaparanga ki te aha? He rite rātou ki te aha? 32 He rite ki ngā tamariki e noho ana i te kāinga hokohoko, e karanga ana ki a rātou anō, e mea ana:

‘Whakatangi noa mātou i te pūtōrino ki a koutou,

ā, kāhore koutou i kanikani.

Auē noa mātou ki a koutou,

nā, kāhore koutou i tangi.’

33 I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kīhai i kai taro, kīhai i inu wāina; heoi ka mea koutou, ‘He rēwera tōna.’ 34 I haere mai te Tama a te tangata me te kai, me te inu; ā, ka mea koutou, ‘Nā, he tangata kakai, he tangata inu wāina, he hoa nō ngā pupirikana, nō ngā tāngata hara!’ 35 Otirā, e whakatikaia ana te whakaaro nui e āna tamariki katoa."

Ko Īhu i te Kāinga a Haimona te Parihi

36 Nā, ka mea tētahi o ngā Parihi ki a ia kia kai tahi rāua. Ā, ka tomo ia ki te whare o te Parihi, ka noho. 37 Nā, tērā tētahi wahine hara o te pā ka mōhio, kei te whare o te Parihi ia e noho ana; nā, ka kawea mai e ia tētahi pouaka kōhatu, he hinu i roto.
