Mateus 19

1 When Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2 Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"

4 He answered, "Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,✝19:4 Genesis 1:27 5 and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh’?✝19:5 Genesis 2:24 6 So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."

7 They asked him, "Why then did Moses command us to give her a certificate of divorce and divorce her?"

8 He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so. 9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery."

10 His disciples said to him, "If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry."

11 But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."

13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, "Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these." 15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

16 Behold, one came to him and said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"

17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good?*19:17 So MT and TR. NU reads "Why do you ask me about what is good?" No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

18 He said to him, "Which ones?"

Jesus said, "‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother.’✝19:19 Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’"✝19:19 Leviticus 19:18

20 The young man said to him, "All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?"

21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." 22 But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

23 Jesus said to his disciples, "Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom."

25 When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, "Who then can be saved?"

26 Looking at them, Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

27 Then Peter answered, "Behold, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?"

28 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.

Ka Whakaako a Īhu mō te Wehenga Tūturu

1 Ā, ka mutu ēnei kupu a Īhu, ka tūria atu e ia i Karirī, ā, ka tae ki ngā wāhi o Hūria, ki tāwāhi atu o Horano. 2 He rahi hoki te hui i aru i a ia; ā, whakaorangia ana rātou e ia i reira.

3 Nā, ka haere mai ngā Parihi ki a ia, ki te whakamātautau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, "He mea tika rānei kia whakarērea e te tangata tāna wahine mō tētahi take?"

4 Nā, ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a rātou, "Kīanō koutou i kite noa i hangā rāua e te Kaihanga i te tīmatanga, he tāne, he wahine? 5 I mea anō ia, ‘Mō konei ka mahue i te tangata tōna pāpā, tōna whaea ka piri ki tāna wahine, ā, hei kikokiko kotahi rāua tokorua’? 6 Nā, heoi anō tō rāua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi anō kikokiko. Nā, ko ā te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata."

7 Ka mea rātou ki a ia, "He aha rā a Mohi i ako ai kia hoatu he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai i a ia?"

8 Ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Nā te pakeke o ō koutou ngākau i tukua ai koutou e Mohi kia whakarere i ā koutou wāhine; i te tīmatanga iho ia kāhore i pēnā. 9 Ā, tēnei tāku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tētahi i tāna wahine, ehara nei i te take moepuku, ā, ka mārenatia ki tētahi atu, e pūremu ana ia; ā, ki te mārena tētahi i te wahine i whakarērea, e pūremu ana ia."

10 Ka mea āna ākonga ki a ia, "Ki te pēnei te tikanga mō te tangata rāua ko tāna wahine, ehara te mārena."

11 Otirā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "E kore tēnei kupu e rite i ngā tāngata katoa, engari, i te hunga i hoatu ai. 12 He unaka hoki ētahi nō te whānautanga mai i te kōpū o te whaea; ko ētahi unaka he mea whakaūnaka nā te tangata; ko ētahi unaka he mea whakaūnaka nā rātou anō, he whakaaro hoki ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ki te taea tēnei te whakarite e tētahi, māna e whakarite."

Ka Manaakitia e Īhu ngā Tamariki Nohinohi

13 I reira, ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapā ai ia i ōna ringa ki a rātou, kia īnoi; ā, rīria iho rātou e ngā ākonga. 14 Nā, ko te kīanga a Īhu, "Tukua mai ngā tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e āraia atu tā rātou haere mai ki ahau; nō ngā pēnei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi."

15 Ā, whakapākia iho e ia ōna ringa ki a rātou, ā, haere atu ana i reira.

He Taitama Whai Taonga

16 Nā, ka haere mai tētahi ki a ia, ka mea, "E te Kaiwhakaako, he aha te mahi pai māku, e whiwhi ai ahau ki te ora tonu?"

17 Nā, ko tāna meatanga ki a ia, "He aha ka ui koe ki ahau mō te mea pai? Tērā anō tētahi i pai, kotahi tonu; ki te mea koe kia tomo ki te ora, whakaritea ngā ture."

18 Ka mea ia ki a ia, "Ko ēhea?"

Nā, ka mea a Īhu, "Kaua e patu tangata; kaua e pūremu; kaua e tāhae; kaua e whakapae teka; 19 Whakahōnoretia tōu pāpā me tōu whaea; me tēnei; kia aroha ki tōu hoa tata ānō ko koe."

20 Ka mea taua taitama ki a ia, "Kua rite i ahau ēnei mea katoa nō tōku tamarikitanga; tēnā hoki tētahi mea e hapa ana i ahau?"

21 Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, "Ki te mea koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ōu taonga, ka hoatu ki ngā rawakore, ā, e whai taonga koe ki te rangi; ā, haere mai i muri i ahau."

22 Nā, ka rongo taua taitama i taua kupu, haere pōuri ana ia, he maha hoki ōna taonga.

23 Ka mea a Īhu ki āna ākonga, "He pono tāku kupu ki a koutou, e tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 24 Tēnei anō tāku kupu ki a koutou, he ngāwari kē atu te haere o te kāmera rā te kōwhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua."

25 Ā, nō ka rongo āna ākonga, nui rawa tō rātou mīharo, ka mea, "Ko wai rā e ora?"

26 Nā, ka titiro a Īhu ki a rātou, ka mea, "Ki te tangata e kore tēnei e taea, ki te Atua ia e taea ngā mea katoa."

27 Kātahi, ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, "Nā, kua mahue nei i a mātou ngā mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe, he aha rā mā mātou?"

28 Ka kī a Īhu ki a rātou, "He pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, ko koutou i aru nei i ahau, kia taea te whānautanga houtanga, te wā e noho ai te Tama a te tangata ki runga ki te torōna o tōna korōria, ka noho anō koutou ki runga ki ētahi torōna kotahi tekau mā rua, ki te whakawā i ngā iwi kotahi tekau mā rua o Īharaira. 29 Ā, ki te mea kua mahue i tētahi he whare, he tēina, he tuāhine rānei, he pāpā, he whaea, he tamariki, he whenua, i tōna whakaaro ki tōku ingoa, ka tātakirau ngā mea e riro i a ia, ā, ka whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu. 30 He tokomaha ia ō mua e waiho ki muri; ko ō muri ki mua."
