1 N ow when Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the part of Judea that is beyond the Jordan;

A, ka mutu enei kupu a Ihu, ka turia atu e ia i Kariri, a ka tae ki nga wahi o Huria, ki tawahi atu o Horano;

2 A nd great throngs accompanied Him, and He cured them there.

He rahi hoki te hui i aru i a ia; a whakaorangia ana ratou e ia i reira.

3 A nd Pharisees came to Him and put Him to the test by asking, Is it lawful and right to dismiss and repudiate and divorce one’s wife for any and every cause?

Na ka haere mai nga Parihi ki a ia, ki te whakamatautau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He mea tika ranei kia whakarerea e te tangata tana wahine mo tetahi take?

4 H e replied, Have you never read that He Who made them from the beginning made them male and female,

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, Kiano koutou i kite noa, i hanga raua e te Kaihanga i te timatanga, he tane, he wahine,

5 A nd said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united firmly (joined inseparably) to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?

I mea ano ia, Mo konei ka mahue i te tangata tona papa, tona wahea, ka piri ki tana wahine: a hei kikokiko kotahi raua tokorua?

6 S o they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder (separate).

Na heoi ano to raua tokoruatanga, engari kotahi ano kikokiko. Na ko a te Atua i hono ai, kaua e wehea e te tangata.

7 T hey said to Him, Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and thus to dismiss and repudiate a wife?

Ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha ra a Mohi i ako ai kia hoatu he pukapuka whakarere, ka whakarere ai i a ia?

8 H e said to them, Because of the hardness (stubbornness and perversity) of your hearts Moses permitted you to dismiss and repudiate and divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so.

Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Na te pakeke o o koutou ngakau i tukua ai koutou e Mohi kia whakarere i a koutou wahine: i te timatanga iho ia kahore i pena.

9 I say to you: whoever dismisses (repudiates, divorces) his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

A tenei taku kupu ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, ehara nei i te take moepuku, a ka marenatia ki tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: a ki te marena tetahi i te wahine i whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.

10 T he disciples said to Him, If the case of a man with his wife is like this, it is neither profitable nor advisable to marry.

Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, Ki te penei te tikanga mo te tangata raua ko tana wahine, ehara te marena.

11 B ut He said to them, Not all men can accept this saying, but it is for those to whom it has been given.

Otira ka mea ia ki a ratou, E kore tenei kupu e rite i nga tangata katoa, engari i te hunga i hoatu ai.

12 F or there are eunuchs who have been born incapable of marriage; and there are eunuchs who have been made so by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves incapable of marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him who is able to accept this accept it.

He unaka hoki etahi no te whanautanga mai i te kopu o te whaea: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na te tangata: ko etahi unaka he mea whakaunaka na ratou ano, he whakaaro hoki ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ki te taea tenei te whakarite e teta hi, mana e whakarite.

13 T hen little children were brought to Jesus, that He might put His hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

I reira ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapa ai ia i ona ringa ki a ratou, kia inoi: a riria iho ratou e nga akonga.

14 B ut He said, Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid or restrain or hinder them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven composed.

Na ko te kianga a Ihu, Tukua mai nga tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e araia atu ta ratou haere mai ki ahau: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

15 A nd He put His hands upon them, and then went on His way.

A whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ratou, a haere atu ana i reira.

16 A nd behold, there came a man up to Him, saying, Teacher, what excellent and perfectly and essentially good deed must I do to possess eternal life?

Na ka haere mai tetahi ki a ia, ka mea, E te Kaiwhakaako, he aha te mahi pai maku, e whiwhi ai ahau ki te ora tonu?

17 A nd He said to him, Why do you ask Me about the perfectly and essentially good? There is only One Who is good —God. If you would enter into the Life, you must continually keep the commandments.

Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, He aha ka ui koe ki ahau mo te mea pai? Tera ano tetahi i pai, kotahi tonu: ki te mea koe kia tomo ki te ora, whakaritea nga ture.

18 H e said to Him, What sort of commandments? And Jesus answered, You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,

Ka mea ia ki a ia, Ko ehea? Na ka mea a Ihu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e puremu, Kaua e tahae, Kaua e whakapae teka,

19 H onor your father and your mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Whakahonoretia tou papa me tou whaea: me tenei, Kia aroha ki tou hoa tata ano ko koe.

20 T he young man said, I have observed all these from my youth; what still do I lack?

Ka mea taua taitama ki a ia, Kua rite i ahau enei mea katoa no toku tamarikitanga: tena hoki tetahi mea e hapa ana i ahau?

21 J esus answered him, If you would be perfect '> have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple.

Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Ki te mea koe kia tino tika, haere, hokona ou taonga, ka hoatu ki nga rawakore, a e whai taonga koe ki te rangi: a haere mai i muri i ahau.

22 B ut when the young man heard this, he went away sad (grieved and in much distress), for he had great possessions.

Na, ka rongo taua taitama i taua kupu, haere pouri ana ia: he maha hoki ona taonga.

23 A nd Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven.

Ka mea a Ihu ki ana akonga, He pono taku kupu ki a koutou, E tapoko whakauaua te tangata taonga ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

24 A gain I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven.

Tenei ano taku kupu ki a koutou, He ngawari ke atu te haere o te kamera ra te kowhao o te ngira i te haere o te tangata taonga ki roto ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

25 W hen the disciples heard this, they were utterly puzzled (astonished, bewildered), saying, Who then can be saved '> from eternal death]?

A, no ka rongo ana akonga, nui rawa to ratou miharo, ka mea, Ko wai ra e ora?

26 B ut Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.

Na ka titiro a Ihu ki a ratou, ka mea, Ki te tangata e kore tenei e taea; ki te Atua ia e taea nga mea katoa.

27 T hen Peter answered Him, saying, Behold, we have left all and have become Your disciples. What then shall we receive?

Katahi ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Na, kua mahue nei i a matou nga mea katoa, kua aru nei i a koe, he aha ra ma matou?

28 J esus said to them, Truly I say to you, in the new age '> Messianic rebirth of the world], when the Son of Man shall sit down on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

Ka ki a Ihu ki a ratou, He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko koutou i aru nei i ahau, kia taea te whanautanga houtanga, te wa e noho ai te Tama a te tangata ki runga ki te torona o tona kororia, ka noho ano koutou ki runga ki etahi torona kota hi tekau ma rua, ki te whakawa i nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.

29 A nd anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name’s sake will receive many times more and will inherit eternal life.

A, ki te mea kua mahue i tetahi he whare, he teina, he tuahine ranei, he papa, he whaea, he tamariki, he whenua, i tona whakaaro ki toku ingoa, ka tataki rau nga mea e riro i a ia, a ka whiwhi ia ki te ora tonu.

30 B ut many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

He tokomaha ia o mua e waiho ki muri; ko o muri ki mua.
