Marcos 11

1 When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage*11:1 TR & NU read "Bethphage" instead of "Bethsphage" and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here."

4 They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. 5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?" 6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, "Hosanna!*11:9 "Hosanna" means "save us" or "help us, we pray". Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!✝11:9 Psalms 118:25-26 10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

11 Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

15 They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. 16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple. 17 He taught, saying to them, "Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?✝11:17 Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!"✝11:17 Jeremiah 7:11

18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

19 When evening came, he went out of the city. 20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. 21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. 23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. 25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions."*11:26 NU omits verse 26.

27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, 28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"

29 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."

31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 If we should say, ‘From men’"—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet. 33 They answered Jesus, "We don’t know."

Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

Te Tomokanga Manahau ki Hiruhārama

1 Ā, nō ka tata rātou ki Hiruhārama, ki Petapaki, ki Petani, ā, ka tae ki Maunga Ōriwa, tokorua āna ākonga i tonoa e ia, 2 ā, i mea ia ki a rāua, "Haere ki te kāinga e anga mai ana ki a kōrua; e tomo kau ki reira, ka kite kōrua i tētahi kūao e here ana, kāhore anō kia nohoia e te tangata; wetekina, ārahina mai. 3 Ā, ki te kī mai tētahi tangata ki a kōrua, ‘He aha tēnei ka meinga ai e kōrua?’ Ka mea atu, ‘E mea ana te Ariki ki a ia māna; nā, ka tukua tonutia mai ki konei.’ "

4 Nā, haere ana rāua, ka kite i te kūao e here ana ki te kūwaha i waho i te ara; ā, wetekina ana e rāua. 5 Ā, ka mea ētahi o te hunga e tū ana i reira ki a rāua, "He aha tā kōrua e wewete nā i te kūao?"

6 Nā, ka kōrerotia e rāua ki a rātou tā Īhu i mea ai; ā, tukua ana rāua e rātou. 7 Ka ārahina te kūao ki a Īhu, nā, whārikitia ana ō rāua kākahu ki runga ki a ia; ā, noho ana ia i runga. 8 Nā, he tokomaha i whāriki i ō rātou kākahu ki te ara. Ko ētahi i kokoti i ngā manga o ngā rākau, whārikitia ana ki te ara. 9 Ko te hunga i haere i mua, me te hunga i haere i muri, i karanga, i mea,

"Ohana!

Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki!

10 Ka whakapaingia te rangatiratanga e haere mai ana,

te rangatiratanga o tō tātou matua o Rāwiri!

Ohana i runga rawa!"

11 Nā, ka tomo a Īhu ki Hiruhārama, ki roto hoki ki te temepara; ā, ka mutu tāna tirotiro i ngā mea katoa, ko te wā hoki o te ahiahi, ka haere rātou ko te tekau mā rua ki Petani.

Ka Kanga a Īhu i te Rākau Piki

12 Nā, i te aonga ake, i a rātou kua puta i Petani, ka hiakai ia. 13 Ā, i tōna kitenga i tētahi piki i tawhiti, he rau ōna, ka haere ia, me kore e kitea tētahi mea i runga; ā, nō tōna taenga, kīhai i kitea e ia tētahi mea, he rau anake: ehara hoki i te wā o te piki. 14 Nā, ka oho a Īhu, ka mea ki taua rākau, "Kaua rawa te tangata e kai i tētahi hua ōu ake tonu atu." Me te whakarongo anō āna ākonga.

Ka Haere a Īhu ki te Temepara

15 Ā, ka tae rātou ki Hiruhārama. Nā, ka tomo a Īhu ki te temepara, ka anga ki te pei ki waho i te hunga e hoko atu ana, e hoko mai ana i roto i te temepara, ā, whakatahuritia ake ngā tēpu o ngā kaiwhakawhitiwhiti moni, me ngā nohoanga o ngā kaihoko kūkupa. 16 Ā, kīhai i tukua e ia kia mauria tētahi oko e te tangata rā te temepara. 17 Ā, i whakaako ia, i mea ki a rātou, "Kāhore koia i tuhituhia, ‘Ka kīia tōku whare he whare īnoi mō ngā tauiwi katoa’? Otiia, kua meinga nei e koutou hei ana mō ngā kaipāhua."

18 I rongo hoki ngā tohunga nui me ngā karaipi, ā, ka rapu ki te pēhea e whakangaromia ai ia. I mataku hoki rātou i a ia, nō te mea i mīharo te mano katoa ki tāna ako.

19 Ā, i ngā ahiahi ka haere ia ki waho o te pā.

Te Akoranga mō te Rākau Piki

20 Ā, i te ata i a rātou e haere ana, ka kite i te piki, kua maroke ake i ngā pakiaka. 21 Nā, ka mahara a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, "E te Kaiwhakaako, nā, te piki i kangā rā e koe, kua maroke."

22 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kia mau te whakapono ki te Atua. 23 He pono hoki tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ki te mea tētahi ki tēnei maunga, ‘Kia rangā atu koe, kia whakatakā ki te moana,’ e kore hoki e ruarua tōna ngākau, engari, ka whakapono ia tērā e puta mai ngā mea i kīia e ia; ka whiwhi ia ki tāna i mea ai. 24 Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koutou, ko ngā mea katoa e tono ai koutou ina īnoi, me whakapono ka riro mai i a koutou, ā, ka whiwhi koutou. 25 Ā, ka tū koutou, ka karakia, ki te mea he take riri tā koutou ki tētahi, murua; kia murua ai hoki ō koutou hē e tō koutou Matua i te rangi. 26 Nā, ki te kore koutou e muru, e kore anō tō koutou Matua i te rangi e muru i ō koutou hē."

Te Take e Pā ana ki te Mana o Īhu

27 Nā, ka tae anō rātou ki Hiruhārama. Ā, i a ia e hāereere ana i te temepara, ka haere mai ki a ia ngā tohunga nui, me ngā karaipi, me ngā kaumātua; 28 ka mea ki a ia, "Tēnā, te mana i meatia ai ēnei mea e koe? Nā wai hoki tēnei mana i hoatu ki a koe, i mea ai koe i ēnei mea?"

29 Nā, ka whakahoki a Īhu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Māku hoki e ui ki a koutou kia kotahi kupu, mā koutou e whakahoki mai ki ahau, kātahi, ka kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mana i mea ai ahau i ēnei mea. 30 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, nō te rangi, nō te tangata rānei? Kōrerotia mai ki ahau."

31 Ā, ka kōrerorero rātou ki a rātou anō, ka mea, "Ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō te rangi’; ka mea ia, ‘Ha, he aha koutou tē whakapono ai ki a ia?’ 32 Ā, ki te mea tātou, ‘Nō te tangata.’ " (Ka mataku rātou i te iwi; ki tā rātou katoa hoki he poropiti pono a Hoani.)

33 Nā, ka whakahoki rātou, ka mea ki a Īhu, "Kāhore mātou e mātau."

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