Lucas 6

1 Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, rubbing them in their hands. 2 But some of the Pharisees said to them, "Why do you do that which is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"

3 Jesus, answering them, said, "Haven’t you read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, 4 how he entered into God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?" 5 He said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath."

6 It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man there, and his right hand was withered. 7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Rise up and stand in the middle." He arose and stood. 9 Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a life, or to kill?" 10 He looked around at them all, and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other. 11 But they were filled with rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.

12 In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God. 13 When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew; 15 Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed. 19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said:

"Blessed are you who are poor,

for God’s Kingdom is yours.

21 Blessed are you who hunger now,

for you will be filled.

Blessed are you who weep now,

for you will laugh.

22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

24 "But woe to you who are rich!

For you have received your consolation.

25 Woe to you, you who are full now,

for you will be hungry.

Woe to you who laugh now,

for you will mourn and weep.

26 Woe, * 6:26 TR adds "to you" when*6:26 TR adds "all" men speak well of you,

for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.

27 "But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. 29 To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, don’t withhold your coat also. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and don’t ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.

31 "As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.

32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

36 "Therefore be merciful,

even as your Father is also merciful.

37 Don’t judge,

and you won’t be judged.

Don’t condemn,

and you won’t be condemned.

Set free,

and you will be set free.

38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be given to you. * 6:38 literally, into your bosom. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back to you."

39 He spoke a parable to them. "Can the blind guide the blind? Won’t they both fall into a pit? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 41 Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye? 42 Or how can you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself don’t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.

43 "For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces good fruit. 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don’t gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

46 "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things which I say? 47 Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who he is like. 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock. 49 But he who hears and doesn’t do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Hāpati

1 Nā, i te hāpati ka haere ia rā waenga wīti; ā, katohia ana e āna ākonga ngā puku, wīti, kainga ake, he mea kōmukumuku ki te ringa. 2 Nā, ka mea ētahi o ngā Parihi, "He aha koutou ka mahi ai i te mea e kore e tika kia mahia i te hāpati?"

3 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore ianei koutou i kite i tā Rāwiri i mea ai, i a ia e mate ana i te hiakai, rātou ko ōna hoa. 4 I tōna tomokanga ki te whare o te Atua, ka tango ia i ngā taro aroaro, nā, kainga ana e ia, hoatu ana hoki ki ōna hoa; ko ngā mea kīhai nei i tika kia kainga, engari mā ngā tohunga anake?" 5 I mea anō ia ki a rātou, "Ko te Tama a te tangata te Ariki o te hāpati."

Te Tangata i te Ringa Memenge

6 Ā, i tētahi atu hāpati ka tomo ia ki te whare karakia, ka whakaako; i reira anō tētahi tangata, ko tōna ringa matau kua memenge. 7 Ka titiro whakamau ngā karaipi me ngā Parihi ki a ia, me kore ia e whakaora i te hāpati; kia whai take ai hei whakawākanga mōna. 8 Nā, ka mōhio ia ki ō rātou whakaaro, ka mea ki te tangata i te ringa memenge, "Whakatika, e tū ki waenganui." Ā, whakatika ana ia, tū ana.

9 Kātahi ka mea a Īhu ki a rātou, "Māku hoki e ui ki a koutou; he mea tika rānei te mahi pai i te hāpati, te mahi kino rānei? Te whakaora, te whakamate rānei?"

10 Nā, ka tirotiro ia ki a rātou katoa ka mea ki taua tangata, "Totoro mai tōu ringa." Ā, pērā ana ia; nā, kua ora anō tōna ringa. 11 Nā, kī tonu rātou i te honohonoā ka kōrerorero ki a rātou anō, me aha rānei a Īhu e rātou.

Ka Whiriwhiria e Īhu ngā Āpōtoro Tekau mā rua

12 Ā, i aua rā ka haere ia ki te maunga ki te īnoi, he īnoi tonu tāna i te roa o te pō ki te Atua. 13 Ā, ka ao te rā, ka karangatia e ia āna ākonga; ka whiriwhiria e ia kotahi tekau mā rua o rātou, ā, huaina ana hoki e ia hei āpōtoro: 14 Ko Haimona (i huaina hoki e ia ko Pita) ko tōna teina ko Anaru; ko Hēmi rāua ko Hoani, ko Piripi rāua ko Patoromu, 15 ko Matiu rāua ko Tamati, ko Hēmi tama a Arapiu, ko Haimona (e kīia nei ko Heroti), 16 ko Hūrā tama a Hēmi, ko Hūrā Ikariote hoki, ko ia nei te kaituku.

Ka Ako ka Whakaora a Īhu

17 Nā, ka heke ngātahi iho rātou, tū ana i tētahi wāhi tairite, rātou ko te rōpū o āna ākonga, me te huihuinga nui o te iwi i Hūria katoa, i Hiruhārama, i te taha hoki o te moana o Tāira o Hairona, i haere mai nei ki te whakarongo ki a ia, kia whakaorangia hoki ō rātou mate; 18 me te hunga anō e whakatoia ana e ngā wairua poke, ā, whakaorangia ana rātou. 19 I whai anō te mano katoa kia pā ki a ia; i puta hoki he kaha i a ia, ā, whakaorangia ana rātou katoa.

Te Hari me te Pōuri

20 Nā, ka titiro ōna kanohi ki āna ākonga, ka mea ia,

"Ka koa koutou, e ngā rawakore;

mō koutou hoki te rangatiratanga o te Atua!

21 Ka koa koutou e hiakai nei ināianei;

ka mākona hoki koutou!

Ka koa koutou e tangi nei ināianei;

e kata hoki koutou!

22 Ka koa koutou ina kinongia koutou e ngā tāngata,

ina wehea atu i roto i a rātou, ina tāwaia ina rukea atu tō koutou ingoa,

ānō he mea kino, mō te whakaaro ki te Tama a te tangata.

23 "Kia hari i taua rā, me te tūpekepeke. He nui hoki tō koutou utu i te rangi; i pērātia hoki ngā poropiti e ō rātou mātua.

24 Otirā, auē te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga taonga;

kua riro hoki i a koutou tō koutou whakamārie!

25 Auē te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e mākona ana ināianei,

e mate hoki koutou i te hiakai!

Auē te mate mō koutou, mō te hunga e kata ana ināianei,

ka auē hoki koutou, ka tangi!

26 Auē te mate mō koutou ua kōrerotia paitia koutou e ngā tāngata katoa!

I pērā hoki ō rātou mātua ki ngā poropiti teka."

Te Aroha ki ngā Hoariri

27 "Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou e whakarongo mai nei: arohaina ō koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou. 28 Manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me īnoi mō te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou. 29 Nā, ki te pākia tōu pāpāringa e tētahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tētahi; ki te tangohia tōu ngeri e tētahi, kaua e kaiponuhia tōu koti. 30 Hoatu ki ngā tāngata katoa e īnoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa āu mea ki te tangohia e te tangata. 31 Ā, ko tā koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ngā tāngata ki a koutou, meatia anō e koutou ki a rātou.

32 "Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a rātou. 33 Ki te atawhai hoki koutou i te hunga e atawhai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E pēnā ana anō te hunga hara. 34 Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai rātou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mō te pērā kia whakahokia ki a rātou. 35 Engari, kia aroha ki ō koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a rātou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua anō e mutu te tūmanako; ā, tērā e rahi te whakautu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tamariki mā te Runga Rawa; e atawhai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e whakawhetai, i te hunga kino. 36 Kia ngāwari rāpea koutou, kia pērā me tō koutou Matua e ngāwari ana."

Te Whakawā i Ētahi atu

37 "Kaua e whakawā, ā, e kore koutou e whakawākia; kaua e whakatau hē, e kore te hē, a, e whakataua ki a koutou. Houhia te rongo, ā, e houhia anō te rongo ki a koutou. 38 Hoatu, ā, ka hōmai ki a koutou; he mēhua pai, pēhi rawa, oioi rawa, pūrena tonu tā rātou e hōmai ai ki te kokoru o ō koutou kākahu. Ko te mēhua hoki e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou."

39 Ā, ka puaki tāna kupu whakarite ki a rātou: "E āhei rānei te matapō te ārahi i te matapō? E kore rānei e taka tahi rāua ki te poka? 40 E kore te ākonga e rahi ake i tōna kaiwhakaako; engari, ka rite anō ki ō rātou kaiwhakaako ngā tāngata katoa kua tino pūkengatia.

41 "He aha tāu e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē kite i te kurupae i tōu ake kanohi? 42 Ā, me pēhea e taea ai e koe te kōrero ki tōu teina, ‘E tōku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i roto i tōu kanohi,’ tē kite i te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi? E te tangata tinihanga, mātua kapea atu e koe te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi, kātahi koe ka mārama ai ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina."

He Rākau me āna Hua

43 "E kore hoki te rākau ātaahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore anō te rākau kino e hua i te hua ātaahua. 44 Mā ōna hua tonu ka mōhiotia ai tēnei rākau, tēnei rākau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i ngā tātarāmoa, e kore anō e whakia he karepe i runga i te tūmatakuru. 45 He tangata pai, he pai tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i te taonga pai o tōna ngākau. He tangata kino, he kino tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i ngā taonga kino o tōna ngākau. He pūrenatanga hoki nō te ngākau ngā kupu a te māngai."

Ngā Kaihanga Whare Tokorua

46 "He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ tē mahi i āku e kōrero ai? 47 Nā, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki āku kupu, ā, e mahi ana, māku e whakaatu ki a koutou tōna rite. 48 Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare, i keri, i whakahōhonu, ā, whakatakoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka. Ā, i te putanga o te waipuke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kīhai i taea te whakangāueue; nō te mea i ū tōna hanganga. 49 Tēnā ko te tangata i rongo, ā, kīhai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare ki runga ki te oneone, tē ai he tūranga; i te pākarutanga o te roma, nā, hinga tonu iho; ā, nui atu te pakaru o taua whare."
