1 N a ka mea ia ki ana akonga, E kore e taea te whakakahore te putanga o nga take he: otiia aue, te mate mo te tangata e puta ai!

And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but wo through whom they come;

2 H e nui te pai ki a ia ki te whakatarewatia ki tona kaki te kohatu mira kaihe, kia maka hoki ia ki te moana, a kia kaua e taka i a ia ki te he tetahi o enei mea nohinohi.

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

3 K ia tupato ki a koutou: ki te hara tou teina ki a koe, riria; a ki te ripeneta, murua tona.

`Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him,

4 A ki te whitu nga haranga ki a koe i te ra kotahi, a ka whitu ona hokinga mai ki a koe, a ka mea, E ripeneta ana ahau; murua tona.

and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I reform; thou shalt forgive him.'

5 A ka mea nga apotoro ki te Ariki, Whakanuia to matou whakapono.

And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'

6 N a ka mea te Ariki, Ki te mea he whakapono to koutou, me te pua nani te rahi, ka mea koutou ki tenei hikamaina, Kia ranga atu koe, kia whakatokia ki te moana; na ka rongo ki a koutou.

and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

7 N a, ko wai o koutou he pononga tana e parau ana, e tiaki ana ranei i nga hipi, e mea atu ki a ia, i tona hokinga mai i te mara, haere tonu mai, ka noho ki te kai?

`But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will say, Having come near, recline at meat?

8 A e kore e mea ki a ia, Taka he hapa maku, ka whitiki ai i a koe, ka tuari mai ki ahau, kia mutu ra taku kai, taku inu; a muri iho ka kai ai koe, ka inu ai?

but will not say to him, Prepare what I may sup, and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink?

9 E whakawhetai oti ia ki taua pononga, mona i mea i nga mea i whakahaua ai ia?

Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

10 W aihoki ko koutou, ka oti nga mea katoa i whakahaua ai koutou, ka ki atu, He pononga huakore matou; ko ta matou i mea ai ko te mea ano i whakaritea kia mahia e matou.

`So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we owed to do -- we have done.'

11 N a, i a ratou e haere ana ki Hiruharama, ka haere ia ra waenganui o Hamaria, o Kariri.

And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee,

12 A , i a ia e tomo ana ki tetahi kainga, kotahi tekau nga tangata i tutaki ki a ia, he repera, na, ka tu mai ratou i tawhiti:

and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood afar off,

13 K a karanga, ka mea, E kara, e Ihu, kia aroha ki a matou.

and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'

14 A , i tona kitenga atu, ka mea ki a ratou, Haere, kia kite nga tohunga i a koutou. A i a ratou e haere ana, na kua ma.

and having seen, he said to them, `Having gone on, shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their going, they were cleansed,

15 A , no te kitenga o tetahi o ratou kua ora ia, ka hoki, a he rahi tona reo ki te whakakororia i te Atua.

and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

16 A takoto tapapa ana ia ki ona waewae, ka whakawhetai ki a ia: a no Hamaria ia.

and he fell upon face at his feet, giving thanks to him, and he was a Samaritan.

17 A ka oho atu a Ihu, ka mea, Kihai ranei te tekau i whakarangia? a kei hea nga tokoiwa?

And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where?

18 H eoi ano nga mea i kitea e hoki mai ana ki te homai i te kororia ki te Atua, ko tenei tangata iwi ke.

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

19 N a ka mea ia ki a ia, Whakatika, haere: na tou whakapono koe i ora ai.

and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

20 A , i te uinga a nga Parihi ki a ia, ko a hea puta mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ka whakahoki ia ki a ratou, ka mea, E kore e kitea te putanga mai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign of God doth not come with observation;

21 E kore ano ratou e mea, Na, tenei! na, tera! kei roto hoki i a koutou te rangatiratanga o te Atua:

nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'

22 A ka mea ia ki nga akonga, Tera e tae mai nga ra e hiahia ai koutou kia kite i tetahi o nga ra o te Tama a te tangata, a e kore koutou e kite.

And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold;

23 A e mea ratou ki a koutou, Na, tenei; na, tera: kaua e haere atu, kaua e aru atu.

and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may not go away, nor follow;

24 K a rite hoki ki te uira e hoko mai ana i tetahi wahi i raro o te rangi: a tiaho atu ana ki tetahi atu wahi i raro o te rangi; e pera ano te Tama a te tangata a tona ra.

for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

25 O tiia ko te tikanga tenei kia maha nga mamae mona i mua, kia whakakinongia ano hoki e tenei whakatupuranga.

and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

26 K a rite hoki ki nga ra i a Noa nga ra o te Tama a te tangata.

`And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man;

27 E kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e marena ana, e tukua ana ki te marena, taea noatia te ra i tomo ai a Noa ki te aaka, a, ko te putanga mai o te waipuke, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all;

28 K a rite ano hoki ki nga ra i a Rota; e kai ana ratou, e inu ana, e hoko mai ana, e hoko atu ana, e whakato ana, e hanga whare ana.

in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

29 H eoi i te ra i puta mai ai a Rota i Horoma, ka uaina he kapura, he whanariki i te rangi, na whakangaromia katoatia ratou.

and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all.

30 K a pera ano a te ra e whakakitea ai te Tama a te tangata.

`According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

31 I taua ra, kei runga tetahi i te whare, me ona taonga hoki i roto i te whare, kaua ia e heke iho ki te tiki i aua mea: ko te tangata hoki i te mara, kaua ia e hoki atu ki nga mea o muri.

in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward;

32 K ia mahara ki te wahine a Rota.

remember the wife of Lot.

33 K i te whai tetahi kia ora ia, ka mate ano ia; ki te mate tetahi, ka ora ano ia.

Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and whoever may lose it, shall preserve it.

34 K o taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, I taua po tokorua i te moenga kotahi; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

`I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

35 T okorua nga wahine e huri ana; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

two women shall be grinding at the same place together, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left;

36 T okorua nga tangata i te mara; kotahi e tangohia, kotahi e waiho.

two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and the other left.'

37 N a ka whakahoki ratou, ka mea ki a ia, Ko hea, e te Ariki? Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Ko te wahi i te tupapaku, ko reira huihui ai nga ekara.

And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?' and he said to them, `Where the body, there will the eagles be gathered together.'
