1 ¶ And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

A i mea ano ia ki ana akonga, Tera tetahi tangata whai rawa i mua, he tuari taonga tona; a ka korerotia ki a ia kei te maumauria e ia ana taonga.

2 A nd he called him and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for thou may no longer be steward.

Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a ka mea atu ia ki a ia, He aha tenei e rangona nei e ahau mou? korerotia mai te tikanga o nga mea i tuaritia e koe; e kore hoki e ahei kia waiho koe hei tuari.

3 T hen the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes the stewardship away from me; I cannot dig, and I am ashamed to beg.

Na ko te meatanga a taua tuari i roto i a ia, Me aha ahau? e tangohia ana hoki i ahau te tuaritanga e toku ariki: e kore ahau e kaha ki te keri; e whakama ana ahau ki te tono mea maku.

4 I know what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

E mohio ana ahau ki taku e mea ai, mo toku peinga rawatanga atu i te tuaritanga, ka ai o ratou whare hei tukunga atu moku.

5 S o he called each one of his lord’s debtors unto him and said unto the first, How much dost thou owe unto my lord?

Na ka karangatia e ia tenei tangata, tenei tangata o te hunga i a ratou nei etahi mea a tona ariki, ka mea ia ki te tuatahi, E hia nga mea a toku ariki i a koe?

6 A nd he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.

Na ka mea tera, Kotahi rau mehua hinu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, hohoro te noho, tuhituhia e rima tekau.

7 T hen said he to another, And how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and write eighty.

Katahi ia ka mea ki tetahi, E hia hoki i a koe? Ka mea ia, Kotahi rau mehua witi. na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, tuhituhia e waru tekau.

8 A nd the lord commended the unjust steward because he had done discreetly; for the sons of this age are in their generation more prudent than the sons of light.

Na ka mihia te tuari kino e tona ariki, mona i whai whakaaro: Engari hoki nga tamariki o tenei ao, i to ratou whakapaparanga, nui ke te whakaaro i to nga tamariki o te marama.

9 A nd I say unto you, Make friends unto yourselves with the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when these fail, you may be received into eternal dwellings.

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Waiho te taonga kino hei mea i etahi hoa aroha mo koutou; mo te he rawa iho, ka ai he tukunga atu mo koutou ki nga whare ora tonu.

10 H e that is faithful with little is faithful also with much, and he that is unjust with little is unjust also with much.

Ko ia e pono ana ki te mea nohinohi rawa, e pono ano i te mea nui: ko ia e kore e tika i te mea nohinohi rawa, e kore ano e tika i te mea nui.

11 I f therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true?

Na ki te kahore i pono ta koutou mahi ki te taonga he, ma wai e tuku ki a koutou hei tiaki i te taonga pono?

12 A nd if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

Ki te kahore koutou i pono i te mea a te tangata ke, ma wai e hoatu he mea ma koutou ake ki a koutou?

13 N o servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

E kore e ahei i te pononga te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e ahei i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.

14 A nd the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him.

A ko nga Parihi, he hunga apoapo moni, i rongo ki enei mea katoa: a ka whakahi ratou ki a ia.

15 A nd he said unto them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts, for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ko koutou te hunga e whakatikatika ana i a koutou ano i te aroaro o nga tangata; ko te Atua ia e matau ana ki o koutou ngakau: ko te mea hoki e whakanuia ana e nga tangata hei mea whakarihariha i te aroaro o te At ua.

16 T he law and the prophets were until John; since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and whosoever will presses into it.

I tutuki te ture me nga poropiti ki a Hoani: no reira i kauwhautia mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a taruke ana nga tangata katoa ki roto.

17 A nd it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fail.

Erangi te pahemotanga o te rangi, o te whenua e takoto noa ana, e kore ia tetahi tohu o te ture e taka.

18 W hosoever puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whosoever marries her that is put away of her husband commits adultery.

Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: ki te marena tetahi te wahine kua whakarere e te tangata, e puremu ana ia.

19 ¶ There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day;

Na tera tetahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kakahu papura ona, he rinena pai, a ko tana mahi he kai tonu i nga kai papai i nga ra katoa:

20 a nd there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores

Na ka whakatakotoria ki tona kuwaha tetahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tuwhenua,

21 a nd desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

E hiahia ana hoki kia whangaia ki nga kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tepu a te tangata taonga; a ko nga kuri rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ona mate.

22 A nd it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom; the rich man also died and was buried;

Nawai a ka mate te tangata rawakore, a kawea ana e nga anahera ki te uma o Aperahama: a ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, a tanumia ana;

23 a nd in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom.

A i te reinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Aperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tona uma.

24 A nd he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Na ka karanga ia, ka mea, E pa, e Aperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tona matihao ki te wai, hei whakamatao i toku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tenei mura.

25 B ut Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime didst receive thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted here, and thou art tormented.

Otira ka mea a Aperahama, E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe au mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia nga mea i a Raharuhi: na ka whakamarietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe.

26 A nd beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass from there to us.

Haunga ano enei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapumau tetahi tawha nui i waenganui o koutou, o matou: a ki te mea etahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e ahei; e kore ano e whiti mai i kona ki a matou.

27 T hen he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father’s house,

Ano ra ko tera, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pa, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o toku papa:

28 f or I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Tokorima hoki oku teina; kia korero ai ia ki a ratou, kei haere mai hoki ratou ki tenei wahi mamae.

29 A braham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kei a ratou ra a Mohi ratou ko nga poropiti; me whakarongo ki a ratou.

30 A nd he said, No, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Ka mea ia, Kahore, e pa, e Aperahama: engari ki te haere atu tetahi ki a ratou o te hunga mate, ka ripeneta ratou.

31 A nd he said unto him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ki te kore ratou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki nga poropiti hoki, e kore ano e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.
