1 ¶ And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard and set a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and built a tower and let it out to husbandmen and went far away.

Na ka timata ia ki te korero kupu whakarite ki a ratou. I whakataiepatia ana ki te taiepa, na ka keria te takotoranga waina, hanga ana tetahi whare tiketike, tukua ana e ia ki nga kaimahi, na ko tona haerenga ki tawhiti.

2 A nd at the season he sent to the husbandmen a slave that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

A i te po i tika ai ka tonoa e ia he pononga ki nga kaimahi ki te tiki i etahi hua o te mara waina i a ratou.

3 A nd taking him, they beat him and sent him away empty.

Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, a whiua ana, tonoa kautia atu ana.

4 A nd again he sent unto them another slave, and casting stones at him, they wounded him in the head and sent him away shamefully handled.

Na ka tonoa ano e ia ki a ratou tetahi atu pononga; a ka akina ia e ratou ki te kohatu, ngawha iho tona matenga, a ka tukinotia ia e ratou ka tonoa atu.

5 A nd again he sent another, and him they killed and many others, beating some and killing some.

Na ka tonoa ano e ia tetahi atu; a whakamatea iho ia e ratou; me era atu, tona tini, ko etahi i whiua, ko etahi i whakamatea.

6 H aving yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

Na kotahi ake ano tana, he tama aroha nana, ko ia o muri rawa i tonoa ai e ia ki a ratou, i mea hoki ia, E hopohopo ratou ki taku tama.

7 B ut those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the place shall be ours.

Na ka mea aua kaimahi ki a ratou ano, Ko te tangata tenei mona te kainga; tena, tatou ka whakamate i a ia, a mo tatou te kainga.

8 A nd taking hold of him, they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

Na ka mau ratou ki a ia, whakamatea iho, maka ana ki waho o te mara waina.

9 W hat, therefore, shall the lord of the vineyard do? He shall come and destroy those husbandmen and shall give his vineyard unto others.

Na, ka pehea te rangatira o te mara waina? ka haere ia, ka whakangaro i nga kaimahi, ka hoatu te mara waina ki etahi atu.

10 A nd have ye not read this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected is placed as the head of the corner;

Kahore koia koutou i kite i tenei karaipiture; Ko te kohatu i kapea e nga kaihanga kua meinga hei mo te kokonga:

11 T his was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Na te Ariki tenei, a he mea whakamiharo hoki ki a tatou kanohi?

12 A nd they sought to lay hold on him but feared the multitude, for they understood that he had spoken the parable against them, and leaving him, they went away.

Na ka whai ratou kia hopukina ia, otiia i mataku i te mano: i matau hoki ratou mo ratou te kupu whakarite i korerotia nei e ia: na whakarerea ana ia, haere ana ratou.

13 ¶ And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch him in his words.

Na ka tonoa mai e ratou ki a ia etahi o nga parihi, ratou ko nga Heroriana, hei hopu mo tetahi kupu ana.

14 A nd when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art a man of truth who regards no man; for thou dost not look upon the appearance of men, but dost with truth teach the way of God; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?

A, no to ratou taenga mai, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, e matau ana matou he kupu pono tau, e kore ano ta te tangata e whakaaroa e koe; e kore ano koe e titiro ki te kanohi tangata, engari ka whakaako i te ara a te Atua i runga i te pono. H e mea tika ranei te hoatu takoha ki a Hiha, ehara ranei?

15 S hall we give or shall we not give? Then he, understanding their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me the coin that I may see it.

Me hoatu ranei e matou, kaua ranei e hoatu? Otira i mohio ia ki to ratou tinihanga, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha koutou ka whakamatautau ai i ahau? mauria mai he pene ki ahau, kia kite ahau.

16 A nd they brought it. And he said unto them, Of whom is this image and inscription? And they said unto him, Of Caesar.

A mauria ana mai. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, No wai tenei ahua me te tuhituhinga? Ka mea ratou ki a ia, No Hiha.

17 A nd Jesus, answering, said unto them, Render that which is of Caesar unto Caesar, and that which is of God unto God. And they marvelled at this.

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Hoatu ki a Hiha nga mea a Hiha, ki te Atua nga mea a te Atua. A miharo ana ratou ki a ia.

18 ¶ Then come unto him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Na ka haere mai ki a ia nga Haruki, e mea nei kahore he aranga; ka ui ki a ia, ka mea,

19 M aster, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother dies and leaves his wife behind him and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.

E te kaiwhakaako, i tuhituhi a Mohi ki a matou, Ki te mate te tuakana o tetahi tangata, mahue iho tana wahine, kahore he tamariki hei waihotanga iho, me tango tana wahine e tona teina, ka whakatupu uri ai mo tona tuakana.

20 N ow there were seven brethren, and the first took a wife and dying left no seed.

Na tera tetahi whanau, tokowhitu, he tuakana, he teina: ka tango to mua i te wahine, ka mate, a kahore he uri hei waihotanga iho.

21 A nd the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed; and the third likewise.

Katahi ka tango te tuarua i a ia, ka mate, kahore ano hoki ona uri hei waihotanga iho: pera tonu ano hoki te tuatoru.

22 A nd the seven had her and left no seed; last of all the woman died also.

I tango ano te tokowhitu i a ia, a kahore o ratou uri hei waihotanga iho: muri rawa iho ka mate ko te wahine.

23 I n the resurrection, therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Na, i te aranga, i te mea ka ara ratou, ma wai o ratou te wahine? he wahine hoki ia na ratou tokowhitu.

24 T hen Jesus, answering, said unto them, Do ye not therefore err because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ratou, Ehara ianei tenei i te mea i he ai koutou, kahore nei hoki e mohio ki nga karaipiture, ki te kaha hoki o te Atua?

25 F or when they shall rise from the dead, neither shall they marry nor husbands take women nor women, husbands; but are as the angels who are in the heavens.

I te mea hoki ka ara mai ratou i te hunga mate, e kore e marena, e kore ano e hoatu kia marenatia; engari ka rite ki nga anahera o te rangi.

26 A nd regarding the dead who are to rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses how in the bush God spoke unto him, saying, I Am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob?

Na mo te hunga mate, mo to ratou aranga mai: kahore koutou i kite i roto i te pukapuka a Mohi, i te wahi ki te Rakau, i ta te Atua i ki ai ki a ia, i mea ai, Ko te Atua ahau o Aperahama, ko te Atua o Ihaka, ko te Atua o Hakopa?

27 H e is not God of the dead, but God of the living; ye therefore do greatly err.

Ehara ia i te Atua no te hunga mate, engari he Atua no te hunga ora: na nui atu to koutou he.

28 ¶ And one of the scribes came, having heard their dispute and knowing that he had given a good response unto them, asked him, Which is the principal commandment of all?

A, ko te haerenga mai o tetahi o nga karaipi, ko te rongonga ki a ratou e totohe ana, ka kite he pai tana whakahoki ki a ratou, ka ui ki a ia, Ko tehea te tuatahi o nga ture katoa?

29 A nd Jesus responded unto him, The principal of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one;

Na ko te whakahokinga a Ihu ki a ia, Ko te tuatahi o nga ture katoa, Whakarongo, e Iharaira: Ko te Ariki, ko to tatou Atua, he Ariki kotahi:

30 a nd thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy thought and with all thy strength: this is the principal commandment.

Kia whakapaua hoki tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, tou kaha, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua: ko te ture tuatahi tenei.

31 A nd the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

Ko te tuarua tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe. Kahore he ture ke atu e rahi ake ana i enei.

32 T hen the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth, that God is one, and there is none other outside of him;

Na ka mea te karaipi ki a ia, he pono, e te Kaiwhakaako, he tika tau korero kotahi tonu ia, a kahore tetahi ko ia anake:

33 a nd to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength and to love his neighbour as himself is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.

A ko te whakapau i te ngakau, i te hinengaro, i te wairua, i te kaha, ki te aroha ki a ia, me te aroha ki tona hoa tata, ano ko ia, nui atu ena i nga tahunga tinana, i nga patunga tapu katoa.

34 T hen Jesus, seeing that he responded wisely, said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that dared ask him any question.

A, no te kitenga o ihu he kupu mohio tana i whakahoki ai, ka mea ki a ia, Kahore koe i matara atu i te rangatiratanga o te Atua. A kihai tetahi tangata i maia ki te ui ki a ia i muri iho.

35 ¶ And answering, Jesus said, while he taught in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is Son of David?

Na ka ki a Ihu, ka mea, i a ia e whakaako ana i roto i te temepara, Na te aha nga karaipi ka mea ai, he tama na Rawiri a te Karaiti?

36 F or David himself said by the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

Na Rawiri ake hoki te kupu i roto i te Wairua Tapu, I mea te Ariki ki toku Ariki, hei toku matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou.

37 D avid therefore himself calls him Lord, and where then is he his son? And the many people heard him gladly.

Ko Rawiri tonu tenei e karanga nei ki a ia he Ariki; a no hea ia i tama ai ki a ia? A ahuareka ana te mano tini ki te whakarongo ki a ia.

38 A nd he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing and love the salutations in the marketplaces

Na i mea ano ia ki a ratou i tana akoranga, Kia tupato ki nga karaipi, ko ta ratou e rawe ai ko te haereere i roto i nga kakahu roroa, me nga ohatanga i nga kainga hokohoko,

39 a nd the first chairs in the synagogues and the first seats at the suppers,

Me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga whare karakia, me nga nohoanga rangatira i nga hakari:

40 w hich devour widows’ houses and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater judgment.

Ka pau nei i a ratou nga whare o nga pouaru, a ka maminga ki te inoi roa: he nui rawa te mate e pa ki enei.

41 ¶ And with Jesus sitting in front of the ark of the offering, he beheld how the people cast money into the ark and many that were rich cast in much.

A ka noho a Ihu i te ritenga atu o te takotoranga moni, ka matakitaki ki te mano e panga moni ana ki te takotoranga moni: a he tokomaha nga tangata whai taonga i panga moni maha ki roto.

42 A nd as there came a certain poor widow, she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

Na ko te haerenga mai o tetahi pouaru rawakore, ka maka i nga mea nohinohi, e rua, kotahi patena ki te huia.

43 T hen calling his disciples, he said unto them, Verily I say unto you that this poor widow has cast more in than all those who have cast into the treasury,

Na ka karangatia e ia ana akonga, ka mea ki a ratou, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko ta tenei pouaru rawakore i maka ai, nui atu i a ratou katoa e maka ra kite takotoranga moni:

44 f or they all did cast in of their abundance, but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Ko ratou katoa hoki, he hira nei o ratou taonga, i maka ko tetahi wahi; tena ko ia i tona rawakoretanga i maka i ana mea katoa, ara i tona oranga katoa.
