1 K aua e whakawa, kei whakawakia koutou.

“Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 N a, ko te whakawakanga e whakawa ai koutou, koia ano hei whakawakanga mo koutou: a ko te mehua e mehua ai koutou, hei mehua ano tena ki a koutou.

For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

3 A he aha tau e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina, te mahara ki te kurupae i roto i tou?

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

4 M e pehea ranei tau kupu ki tou teina, Iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i tou kanohi; a he kurupae ano tena kei roto i tou?

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

5 E te tangata tinihanga, matua kapea e koe te kurupae i tou kanohi; katahi koe ka marama ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tou teina.

Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 K aua e hoatu te mea tapu ki nga kuri, kaua ano e maka a koutou peara ki te aroaro o nga poaka, kei takatakahia e o ratou waewae, a ka tahuri, ka haehae i a koutou.

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

7 I noia, a ka hoatu ki a koutou; rapua, a ka kitea e koutou; patoto, a ka uakina ki a koutou;

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 K a whiwhi hoki te tangata ina inoi, ka kite ina rapu; ka uakina hoki ki te tangata e patoto ana.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 K o tehea tangata ianei o koutou, ina inoi tana tama ki a ia he taro, e hoatu ki a ia he kohatu?

Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 A inoi ranei he ika, e hoatu ki a ia he nakahi?

Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 N a ki te matau koutou, te hunga kino, ki te hoatu mea papai ki a koutou tamariki, tera noa ake te homaitanga o nga mea papai e to koutou Matua i te rangi ki te hunga e inoi ana ki a ia.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 N a ko nga mea katoa, e pai ai koutou kia meatia e nga tangata ki a koutou, meatia hoki e koutou ki a ratou: ko tenei hoki ta te ture me ta nga poropiti.

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. The Narrow Way

13 E tomo ma te kuwaha whaiti: he wharahi hoki te kuwaha, he whanui te ara, e tika ana ki te ngaromanga, a he tokomaha e haere ana ra reira.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

14 H e kuiti hoki te kuwaha, he kiki te ara e tika ana ki te ora, a he tokoiti te hunga e kite.

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15 K ia tupato ki nga poropiti teka e haere nei ki a koutou, he hipi te kakahu, ko roto ia he wuruhi kai kino.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 M a o ratou hua ka mohiotia ai ratou e koutou. E whakiia ranei te karepe i runga i te tataramoa, te piki ranei i te tumatakuru?

You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17 W aihoki he ataahua nga hua o te rakau pai; he kino ia nga hua o te rakau kino.

Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 E kore te rakau pai e ahei te hua i te hua kino, e kore ano te rakau kino e hua i te hua ataahua.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 K o nga rakau katoa e kore nei e hua i te hua ataahua ka tuaina ki raro, ka maka ki te ahi.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 I na, ma o ratou hua ka mohiotia ai ratou e koutou.

Therefore by their fruits you will know them. I Never Knew You

21 E kore e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi nga tangata katoa e mea mai ana ki ahau, E te Ariki, e te Ariki; engari ia e mea ana i ta toku Matua i te rangi i pai ai.

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 H e tokomaha e mea mai ki ahau i taua ra, E te Ariki, e te Ariki; kihai koia matou i poropiti i runga i tou ingoa? i pei rewera hoki i runga i tou ingoa? he tini hoki nga mahi nunui i meatia e matou i runga i tou ingoa?

Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23 K o reira ahau mea ai ki a ratou, Kahore rawa ahau i mohio ki a koutou; mawehe atu i ahau, e nga kaimahi i te tutu.

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ Build on the Rock

24 N a ko te tangata e rongo ana ki enei kupu aku, e mahi ana hoki, ka whakaritea e ahau ki te tangata mahara, i hanga i tona whare ki runga ki te kamaka:

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 A ka ua te ua, ka puta nga waipuke, ka pupuhi nga hau, te tino akinga ki taua whare; kihai hoki i hinga: no te mea i hanga ki runga ki te kamaka.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 A ko te tangata e rongo ana ki enei kupu aku, a kahore e mahi, ka whakaritea ki te tangata whakaarokore i hanga i tona whare ki runga ki te onepu:

“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

27 N a ka ua te ua, ka puta nga waipuke, ka pupuhi nga hau, a pa ana ki taua whare; na kua hinga: he rahi ano tona hinganga.

and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

28 A , no ka mutu enei korero a Ihu, ka miharo te whakaminenga ki tana ako:

And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

29 I rite hoki tana ako i a ratou ki ta te tangata whai mana, kihai hoki i rite ki ta nga karaipi.

for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
